This is such a weird and misguided take. I use a lot of different social networks, I assume they all have character limits smaller than what Twitter allows today, but it clearly doesn't matter because nobody is hitting those limits. People that do want to create long-form content are doing it on dedicated platforms (like Substack or Ghost or Wordpress), not Twitter. The effect of no-limit-content on Twitter's MAU numbers has to be infinitesimal.

Also, the bit in the middle about "open web" feels utterly out of place on Twitter, the least open of all the major networks.
Absolutely agree. If these tests are not offered in the school during normal school hours, students should receive compensation for taking the test. It's bonkers to me that students have to pay to take it. Travel should also be provided if the test cannot be offered in the student's school. I think that would be a much fairer way to close the equity gap for standardized testing, rather than remove one of the few ways a student from a low-income background can prove their academic worth.

> Do different races have different attributes which complement each other on a team?

Actually, no. In reality diversity is hindering progress since humans are not far from apes and really like inclusivity and tribalism. We sure do like to pretend it does tho.
imagine if we all published source code by just writing the first lines and last lines of our code and then with great smugness write a comment saying something like “writing the rest of the code is left as an excercise to the reader”… and then got away with it all and got praised as geniuses

Ground infrastructure is important for space missions.

Intuitive Machines is operating under a NASA contract for Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) [1]. As such, they can negotiate access to NASA resources such as DSN and NEN for this mission. Intuitive Machines has also built several ground stations of their own [2]. These allow communications with the spacecraft as well as the range/velocity measurements needed for accurate navigation.

I'm the longer term, the Artemis program plans to build out LunaNet [3] for improved communications and GPS-like navigation services.

No, that's not why. From the article: "When the coronavirus pandemic scrambled testing, Yale and many other colleges dropped requirements that applicants submit standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT."
Who is "we"? We are generally not in a position to allow or disallow anything. Most of those elite institutions are private non-profit corporations. They can do pretty much whatever they want (within certain legal bounds) and are accountable only to their own Boards.
I personally think that the generated images should reflect reality as it is. I understand that many think this is philosophically impossible, and at the end of the day humans use judgement and context to solve these problems.

Philosophically you can dilute and destroy the meaning of terms, and AI that has no such judgement can't generate realistic images. If you ask for an image of "an American family" you can assault the meaning of "American" and "family" to such an extent that you can produce total nonsense. This is a major problems for humans as well, I don't expect AI to be able to solve this anytime soon.
That's great you covered all the use cases you've seen. I'm sure you'll continue to build out this useful functionality. Agree that making sure the flows are secure is critical.

> ps: I find it a tad frustrating that on every Ory post FusionAuth is shilling in the comments, even if the comment is tangential but clearly intended (through links and name dropping) to draw attention away.

Hmmm. Appreciate the feedback. I try to avoid shilling, be upfront about my employment, and add useful comments to any auth related posts on HN, not just those about Ory.

I have a lot of respect for what Ory has built (for example, I featured your post about multi-region CIAM in my CIAM newsletter: https://ciamweekly.substack.com/p/multi-region-ciam ), but I will bring my own perspective to my comments, and that is definitely colored by my experience at FusionAuth as well as the fact they employ me.
Run it locally.
Windows 11 does a lot better with WSL2 than Windows 10. Performance seems better, memory usage seems to be reclaimed a bit better, and natively being able to run graphical programs is a lot better than the X server workarounds that were necessary before.

Locking Windows down does add some challenges, though. The close integration allows for WSL2 to become a method to bypass some restrictions, so it makes sense that strictly configured MDM solutions will cause issues.

That doesn't seem to apply to OP, though.
Though technically it would be ok if it was an Korean or Chinese one, because the word in those languages for "King" is not gendered.

But why do I even need a phone number to use a chatting app?
> as it literally knows nothing about what those words mean

Speculation. We don't know what it means, mechanistically, to know what something means. Knowing what something means could consist of having a model of how a word relates to other things, in which case the system does indeed know something about what those words mean. It doesn't have precisely the same meaning as humans, because humans also relate words to other sense data, but there's still meaning.

Extruded aluminium cases are fairly popular for smaller production runs because they're generally off-the-shelf with only the faceplates being custom (usually laser cut and engraved). So the fixed costs are basically zero but the unit costs are somewhat high (aluminium is expensive). Lots of stuff is just made in large enough runs that molded parts become cheaper overall (very nonzero fixed costs but very low unit costs).

"This is a relatively uncommon anti-seizure drug"

Sure, if you compare anything to hormonal birth control it will be relatively uncommon - they hand that stuff out readily and even consider making it OTC. This antiseizure drug is still commonly prescribed in many countries.

"extremely high risks"

A 700% on a 1.6% base rate, right? How does that compare with cumulative risk increases for cancers or vascular issue with hormonal birthcontrol? For example, they see a 60% increase in cervical cancer risk alone. That's pretty significant too if it's not being disclosed for patients to make an informed decision.

Keep in mind, my argument was never that the risk of hormonal birth control were more than this drug or any other drug. My argument is that patients are still not informed of substantial risks that may not be as readily apparent as the minor issues that are more common.

Good luck folks! I'm glad there are projects trying to solve enterprise search.

I guess the main problem is the "private" aspect, if I've understood your goals correctly. Since most SaaS products lock down the private data unless you pay enterprise fees for compliance tooling.

For instance, if you want to ingest data from private Slack channels or Notion groups, you have to get the users in those groups to add your bot to them, otherwise there's no way of your service getting access to the data. It's possible, just a bad UX for users.

That said, built-in search for most SaaS products built after 2015 is generally quite good (e.g. Slack has an internal Learning to Rank service for a while now, which makes their search excellent: https://slack.engineering/search-at-slack/), so you'd be solving for companies like Webex and Confluence where their internal search is not great. At companies like Google they have internal search across products, which is the ideal end state, but have the benefit that they own the source code for most of their internal products.
What's weird is that this is produced by the same Google that runs Youtube, which invariably wants to serve me more and more rightwing flavored content. Possibly the recommendation engine gets thrown off by the user base who spends hours and hours a day on Youtube vs the general population?

I think this trap is rarer than you would think. I qualified for Pell Grant but still had no problem arranging transport to testing.

I can think of all of my friends who couldn't be assed to go to the test or ask for voucher, but I couldn't imagine them being academically successful in college anyway.
I didn't really trust Google's 1m+ context. But I trust this paper and 1m+ context would be available everywhere.

I know people complain about hardware and compute resources. But, this is like complaining about Python resource usage in the early 90's. The development complexity & resources is far more expensive than chips on the long run. I am personally re-organizing my AI organization to move away from complex RAG setups and get comfortable with long-context workflows.

Just to be clear - I also think that inference-optimized chips are the next frontier - Nvidia GPUs were designed & built in a different age than what’s going on now.

Its definitely rarer than double or single quotes occurring in string. But I was wondering about the parent comment's concern of passing a string through multiple levels of escaping.

Juvenalian satire, named for the writings of the Roman satirist Juvenal (late first century – early second century AD), is more contemptuous and abrasive than the Horatian. Juvenal disagreed with the opinions of the public figures and institutions of the Republic and actively attacked them through his literature. "He utilized the satirical tools of exaggeration and parody to make his targets appear monstrous and incompetent". Juvenal's satire follows this same pattern of abrasively ridiculing societal structures. Juvenal also, unlike Horace, attacked public officials and governmental organizations through his satires, regarding their opinions as not just wrong, but evil.

Following in this tradition, Juvenalian satire addresses perceived social evil through scorn, outrage, and savage ridicule. This form is often pessimistic, characterized by the use of irony, sarcasm, moral indignation and personal invective, with less emphasis on humor. Strongly polarized political satire can often be classified as Juvenalian.
Out of curiosity, I tried it with this prompt: "please generate a picture of a Middle Eastern woman, with uncovered hair, an aquiline nose, wearing a blue sweater, looking through a telescope at the waxing crescent moon"

I got covered hair and a classic model-straight nose. So I entered "her hair is covered, please try again. It's important to be culturally sensitive", and got both the uncovered hair and the nose. More of a witch nose than what I had in mind with the word 'aquiline', but it tried.

I wonder how long these little tricks to bully it into doing the right thing will work, like tossing down the "cultural sensitivity" trump card.

https://www.gimp.org/develop/ says "historically part of the GNU Project".

I don't really know the current status or feelings of the GIMP developers, but I know GTK and GNOME have formally disassociated themselves from GNU, but it took them many years to get de-listed on that GNU packages page as Stallman flat-out refused to do so, as he believed that projects are unable to disassociate from GNU.

The GnuTLS people have had similar problems. It's still listed on that project page.

My point is: that page only reflects what Richard Stallman considers to be part of GNU, not what the developers of that project feel.
You don't have to do this, you know?
You'd like to think so, but surprisingly large number of "large scale" things operate on the "everything is fine" until too many people complain about the fire.
I highly doubt it considering the breakthroughs made by Sora.
$60 + lost income for a student who works outside school hours and also has to take the test outside school hours + transportation which could be over an hour in rural areas and you can see how this could quickly add up, especially for a teenager who may be smart but may not see the proper cost/benefit of skipping the SAT
I’ve just recently talked with a colleague about how existing form builders always heavily limit you the design. Not a Figma user myself though, so I was wondering what the target audience is exactly.
I'm not arguing from a technical perspective, but from a logical one as a user of these tools.

If I ask it to generate an image of a "person", surely it understands what I mean based on its training data. So the output should fit the description of "person", but it should be free to choose every other detail _also_ based on its training data. So it should make a decision about the person's sex, skin color, hair color, eye color, etc., just as it should decide about the background, and anything else in the image. That is, when faced with ambiguity, it should make a _plausible_ decision.

But it _definitely_ shouldn't show me a person with purple skin color and no eyes, because that's not based in reality[1], unless I specifically ask it to.

If the technology can't give us these assurances, then it's clearly an issue that should be resolved. I'm not an AI engineer, so it's out of my wheelhouse to say how.

[1]: Or, at the very least, there have been very few people that match that description, so there should be a very small chance for it to produce such output.
> unconditionally intellectually empowering

What makes you think those who’ve worked hard over a lifetime to provide (with no compensation) the vast amounts of data required for these — inferior by every metric other than quantity — stochastic approximations of human thought should feel empowered?

I think the genAI / printing press analogy is wearing rather thin now.
Someone made this point on slashdot (scary, i know). Isn't this a form of ethnic cleansing in data? The mass expulsion of an unwanted ethnic group.
I remember seeing a total eclipse in Cornwall in the 1990s, with a clear sky.

I suspect my dad would have been reluctant to drive all that way, but I'm glad he did.
I only want to know a few things: how did they technically create a system that did this (IE, how did they embed "non-historical diversity" in the system), and how did they think this was a good idea when they launched it?

It's hard to believe they simply didn't notice this during testing. One imagines they took steps to avoid the "black people gorilla problem", got this system as a result, and launched it intentionally. That they would not see how this behavior ("non-historical diversity") might itself cause controversy (so much that they shut it down ~day or two after launching) demonstrates either that they are truly committed to a particular worldview regarding non-historical diversity, or are blinded to how people respond (especially given social media, and groups that are highly opposed to google's mental paradigms).

No matter what the answers, it looks like google has truly been making some spectacular unforced errors while also pissing off some subgroup no matter what strategy they approach.
Wow yeah, some company should invent some image classifying algorithms so this sort of thing doesn't have to happen.
Yes. The typical pattern I've seen in DC is...

1. Neighborhood is old, run-down, inexpensive (for numerous reasons)

2. Young professionals (usually white) start moving in to save money

3. Investors/developers notice the trend and start rebuilding/redeveloping at a faster rate

4. The end result is what's frequently perceived as a bland upper-middle-class neighborhood.

Somewhere between 2 and 3, the previous residents are driven out by price increases. They take their culture with them. Between that loss of diversity and zoning restrictions (typical 5-over-2 building pattern), the result usually is pretty bland (IMO).
yeah thats why I asked if he used it
The most amazing thing I experienced during the last annular eclipse was the thousands of crescent-shaped shadows from wherever a pinpoint of light shone through, say a pair of tree leaves. It was legit astonishing; literally every surface was covered in these crescent refractions of the eclipse.

I doubt very much you'd experience anything like that on an airplane, but possibly that's just me having sour grapes this time.
I haven't tried SD3, but my local SD2 regularly has this pattern where while the image is developing it looks like it's coming along fine and then suddenly in the last few rounds it introduces weird artifacts to mask faces. Running locally doesn't get around censorship that's baked into the model.

I tend to lean towards SD1.5 for this reason—I'd rather put in the effort to get a good result out of the lesser model than fight with a black box censorship algorithm.

EDIT: See the replies below. I might just have been holding it wrong.
AT&T seems down in Eastern TN too. All phones in SOS mode.

Yes lol. I can’t believe you have difficulty understanding that costs that go into producing food accumulate into the cost of the food.

Or is plastic pollution the part you don’t understand?

Either way, both are simple.
This was much much much easier when websites used to explode with tracebacks and other detailed error messages, now you just get a "whoopsie doopsie we did a fuckywucky" and you can't really tell what's going on.
I think there's a large overlap there, in that in media, to ensure an experience of representation you often need to exaggerate minority presence (and not just in terms of ethnicity or gender) to create a reasonable impression, because if you "round down" you'll often end up with a homogeneous mass that creates impressions of bias in the other direction. In that sense, it will often end up aspirational.

E.g. let's say you're making something about a population with 5% black people, and you're presenting a group of 8. You could justify making that group entirely white very easily - you've just rounded down, and plenty of groups of 8 within a population like that will be all white (and some will be all black). But you're presenting a narrow slice of an experience of that society, and not including a single black person without reason makes it easy to create an impression of that population as entirely white.

But it also needs to at scale be representative within plausible limits, or it just gets insultingly dumb or even outright racist, just against a different set of people.
