Yeah, the video pretty much says outright that this is a delay tactic to keep the poors from storming into the cities and overwhelming them. Ultimately these people, and even those in the cities, will likely end up as climate refugees and need to relocate elsewhere. Much of the western US is also facing a growing desertification problem and dust and dust storms have been increasing. On the plus side, all the increased atmospheric dust has a cooling effect on the planet.

Though Epcot Center the park is nothing like EPCOT the experimental prototype for the city of tomorrow. Seaside, FL; Celebration, FL; Cotino near Palm Springs, CA, and other "Storyliving by Disney" projects present and future are all much closer to the EPCOT vision than the Epcot Center itself is, despite the name intended to evoke the imagination towards the original EPCOT plan and Walt's masterful but failed attempt at selling it on national television.

> Also fun where the towers remained just powered on enough for phones to stick to them but not be able to do anything, so 9-1-1 calls would just fail, instead of failing-over to other networks. Seems like a deficiency in the GSM spec (or Rogers SIM programming?) that I don’t think was actioned on.

Actually, I think this is going to change after the Rogers outage, it's just slowly happening behind the scenes so it's not getting much attention these days. The government has mandated a lot of industry response to failover between providers... we'll see where they land after all the lobbying happens. I do think implementations are changing a bit around this, mostly in the phones so that they give up and go into a network scan if the emergency call is failing.

I worked mostly on core network stuff, so I was a layer removed from the towers, but if they hadn't lost management access they would've been able to tell the tower to stop advertising the network and 911 service. I do understand the question of from a vendor implementation perspective of how automatic this should be though... because automation in this regard does have some of it's own risks and could complicate some types of outages or inadvertently trigger and confuse recovery of problems.

I'm with you though there should be an automatic mechanism to fail over to other network operators, I just haven't thought through all the risks with it and I hope the industry is taking their time to think through the implications.
> Are you sure you didn’t just end up coming of age at a particular moment, specifically 2006-2012?

I'm 42, so, ah, no.

What I mean is that basically since forever things were cheaper in the US than in Canada.

Gas? 25%-50% cheaper. Cheese (of course) 50% cheaper. Electronics, cars, clothes, hotels, beer, food at restaurants, etc. etc.

Now, everything is more expensive in the US than Canada.
Show HN: R2d2 – radare2 plugin for GPT-4 solves a crackme with just 1 prompt
Hi HN

I got tired of copy/pasting disassembled code to chatgpt so I made a small radare2 plugin.

Surprisingly to me, it's able to do quite a bit on its own.
Sure, as long as you don't swear, play even a a couple seconds of copyrighted music, never say any of the "touchy" subjects that would earn you an info box below the video (could be anything from flat earth to covid), and a dozen of other arbitrary, constantly changing rules, YouTube is great on its own. Certainly better than any other popular platform.

However a lot of channels available on Nebula also use it as a place where they don't have to deal with those sometimes nonsensical rules, as a place to publish more "uncensored" versions of their videos. Sometimes they're as simple as not bleeping out the word fuck, sometimes they contain an extra section that would get their entire video demonetized on YouTube (example: showing a piece of art with nudity in it, or pretty much any blood), and sometimes they use it to cover topics that they know YouTube would instantly demonetize (example: pretty much any discussion around armed conflicts).
Yeah that was effectively my point as well. The article, and what I'd expect to be a common reaction, would push for this fine being way too low and that something should be done about it. We simply have no leverage though, and frankly how another country decides to regulate or punish companies there isn't another country's problem or responsibility.

There's an argument that privacy (more accurately anonymity) is a temporary phenomenon, a consequence of the scale that comes with industrialization. We didn't really have it in small villages, and we won't really have it in the global village.

Thank you, truly, I appreciate the effort you put in to list those. It helps me understand more where you're coming from.

> He wanted to replace public transport with a system where you don't have to ride the public transport with the plebs

I don't think this is any more libertarian than kings and aristocrats of days past were. I know a bunch of people who ride public transit in New York and San Francisco who would readily agree with this, and they are definitely not libertarian. If anything it seems a lot more democratic since he wants it to be available to everyone

> he want's to colonize mars with the best minds (equal most money for him)

This doesn't seem particularly "libertarian" either, excepting maybe the aspect of it that is highly capitalistic. That point I would grant. But you could easily be socialist and still support the idea of colonizing something with the best minds.

> he built a tank for urban areas.

I admit I don't know anything about this one

> He promotes free speech even if it incites hate

This is a social libertarian position, although it's completely disconnected from economic libertarianism. I have a good friend who is a socialist (as in wants to outgrow capitalism such as marx advocated) who supports using the state to suppress capitalist activity/"exploitation", and he also is a free speech absolutist.

> he likes ayn rand

That's a reasonable point, although I think it's worth noting that there are plenty of hardcore libertarians who hate ayn rand.

> he implies government programs calling for united solutions is either communism, orwell or basically hitler.

Eh, lots of republicans including Trump do the same thing, and they're not libertarian. Certainly not "hardcore libertarian"

> He actively promotes the opinion of those that pay above others on X.

This could be a good one, although Google, Meta, Reddit, Youtube, and any other company that runs ads or has "sponsored content" is doing the same thing, so we would have to define all the big tech companies as "hardcore libertarian" to stay consistent.

Overall I definitely think this is a hard debate to have because "hardcore libertarian" can mean different things to different people, and there's a perpetual risk of "no true scotsman" fallacy. I've responded above with how I think most people would imagine libertarianism, but depending on when in history you use it, many anarcho-socialists used the label for themselves yet today "libertarian" is a party that supports free market economics and social liberty. But regardless the challenges inherent, I appreciate the exchange
I feel like it is extremely bold to draw this correlation
Do you tell your employer that you are taking a mental health day, or do you lie an feign some kind of physical illness?

My employer would not respect mental health days by any means. I've taken them before, but I have always faked another illness. I have also always had this overwhelming feeling of guilt and anxiety that if I got caught, I'd be reprimanded.
The nonce is good for privacy, preventing rainbow tables etc stuff right? Could still brute force if it's a small file maybe? Unless the nonce is hashed but not put on the blockchain directly, so the user can choose when to use the proof. But then the user has to save the nonce, which is precarious.

Also: it occurred to me a while ago that Archive.org etc really need something like this before generative AI gets too good. They wouldn't need to prove all of their documents if that's cost prohibitive. They could make a Merkle tree and prove the tip periodically.

Leading in with a criticism like you did hurts the rest of your post. You are both free to not agree with each other. Taking the disagreement as far as to claim the other person is fundamentally wrong is rather unkind and unlikely to sway each other.

In this particular point, I think you are hitting how things don't scale up. That is, it makes sense that what would work for a small case would not work for a larger one. I expect that is the case with a lot of features.

There is also the case of trained usage versus exploratory usage. Expect that expert users need fewer feedback affordances than other users do. Further expect that you need training of some sort to become an expert. You see this even in games. And you will find far more affordances on beginner games than you will on others.
I think you have to conceptualize how diffusion models work, which is that once the green triangle has been put into the image in the early steps, the later generations will be influenced by the presence of it, and fill in fine details like reflection as it goes along.

The reason it knows this is that this is how any light in a real photograph works, not just CGI.

Or if your prompt was “A green triangle looking at itself in the mirror” then early generation steps would have two green triangle like shapes. It doesn’t need to know about the concept of light reflection. It does know about composition of an image based on the word mirror though.

I am a big fan of Raymond Chandler, and it’s super interesting to read his books set in LA (which are most of them.) Set in the 30s and 40s, they portray a city multiple orders of magnitude smaller than today. The area between Downtown and Santa Monica was basically rural.

Here’s a cool documentary on the city during his time: https://youtu.be/-MYY4CxG_GQ?si=P1g1k0h-6W0CZtaX
It seems the problem is looking for a single picture to represent the whole. Why not have generative AI always generate multiple images (or a collage) that are forced to be different? Only after that collage has been generated can the user choose to generate a single image.

Mutal information is definitely a good measure, but it can struggle with complex and highly non-linear associations-- particularly when you are dealing in high dimensional spaces (because of the curse of dimensionality). Mutual information can have some serious bias/variance issues, especially when you don't have a huge amount of data to work with. Hoeffding's basically sidesteps all of these problems. The main downside of it is that it's so computationally intensive, much more than mutual information.
Hi! I’m Aloke, an engineer at Warp.

I’m really excited to share that Warp is now available on Linux! If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download Warp: https://warp.dev/

Building Warp on Linux was quite an undertaking. Warp uses a custom Rust-based UI framework that we built in house and renders natively on the GPU. To get Warp running on Linux, we built a version of our UI framework that supports winit [1] as a windowing backend. We also built a version of our renderer that uses wgpu [2]. Reducing complexity by using these well-supported, cross platform, frameworks let us bootstrap a version of Linux quicker than expected and should make it easier to build Warp for other platforms (like Windows).

Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions, either about the product or about technical challenges.

Why do you figure I would be confused? Whether any liability for drawing porn of classmates is civil or criminal is orthogonal to the AI comparison. The question is if we would hold manufacturers of drawing tools or software, or purveyors of drawing knowledge (such as learn-to-draw books), liable, because they are playing the same role as the generative AI does here.
Another vote for 100% if possible. I drove my camper van from Portland to national forest land in eastern Oregon (largely desert and open land) for the 2017 total eclipse. From the cast of the light, to the birds, to the way my dog started getting ready for bed at nine in the morning, to the whoop I heard across the canyon from someone else watching, it was life-changing. Such a special event. Anyone I talk to who stayed in town and got the ~99% treats it like any other day.

It's going ok, but could be a lot better. I work full-time on it and barely earn enough for a living at the moment.

I need to focus A LOT more on marketing. The product is already really good, and existing customers really love it, they even send me emails saying how much they like it.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court agreed with the Ninth Circuit.

How is this programming rather than just learning how to recognize musical notes. Also, would this then start to associate these colors with these notes in any weird ways later in life? I'm not talking synesthesia or anything, but I can remember the music I was listening to at the time of reading a book or think of the book when I hear the music. Unless, that's the programming

> If so, why are mergers and acquisitions reviewed at all?

they are reviewed to check if it is lessening of the competition. Like if some new grassroots company decides to offer new OS, Microsoft probably won't be able to go and buy it. It also cannot pay other companies not to use this OS.

> Forget the legal technicalities for a moment, would you as a citizen be okay with Microsoft being able to act this way? Do we want massive corporations able to block markets off as long as they can afford it, and hide away profits to avoid paying taxes?

Acting what way? It is like asking if you are okay if somebody can afford something, you can't.
Taking the actual example you provided, I can understand the issue. Since it amounts to blurring images of a virtual character, that are not actually "naughty."

I don't think your golden age ever truly existed — the Overton Window for acceptable discourse has always been narrow, we've just changed who the in-group and out-groups are.

The out group used to be atheists, or gays, or witches, or republicans (in the British sense of the word), or people who want to drink. And each of Catholics and Protestants made the other unwelcome across Europe for a century or two. When I was a kid, it was anyone who wanted to smoke weed, or (because UK) any normalised depiction of gay male relationships as being at all equivalent to heterosexual ones[0]. I met someone who was embarrassed to admit they named their son "Hussein"[1], and absolutely any attempt to suggest that ecstasy was anything other than evil. I know at least one trans person who started out of the closet, but was very eager to go into the closet.
