That's a somewhat optimistic take. As a (former?) archaeologist, I tend to engage carefully with relevant threads because there's a lot of discussion (and individual commentators) that could be generously called misguided. Any popular article tends to attract comments about things like the solutrean hypothesis or Graham Hancock.

It's not every comment or even the majority, but it's a long way from the quality you can find on a lot of technical articles.

What happens in 10 years, now, I make no claim.
Yes, but this is easy to avoid. It's only happened when the governmental authorities foolishly believed they should respond to deflation with austerity, which is now obvious to us that this is backwards. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernanke_doctrine

That said, the fact that austerity has been tried recently suggests the perverse impulse to respond to deflation with belt tightening instead of expanding credit is still with us. But all we have to do is just print money to match the deflation. The 1990s through 2019 are a great example, there was constant economic deflation because of new technology and the fed just printed credit like crazy to match said deflation and keep the inflation at 2pct.

The pie was getting bigger, so eroding the value of each slice to make it a smaller portion of the pie kept slice sizes stable while not making anyone lose pie.

They had an easy time with that. Now that the pandemic caused real eocnomic inflation due to supply shocks, dealing with excess inflation is a lot harder. The only way to keep pie slice size stable is to take away pie from someone and nobody wants be the loser, so capital and labor are in a game of chicken to see who blinks first and has to eat more of the inflation.

I'd like to stick with Impressionism. Perhaps you think Renoir is distinct, and sure, he is. Now what about the hundreds of non-famous artists that are not Renoir and are instead just trying to make novel art in exactly the style of Monet? You think their original works are illegal? You think they are more illegal than an ai generated monet painting that uses a different color palette to be distinct?

I'm not very interested in debating this further because I think we just disagree. I'm glad this is not the way copyright law actually works.

Augmental's tongue controller now supports head tracking [video]
Last year, Augmental (www.augmental.tech) released their first product, the MouthPad^, which is type of 'smart mouthware' that functions as a bluetooth-enabled mouse. The MouthPad^ is worn on the upper jaw and makes use tongue gesture to enable more universal access to one's personal electronics. Now, the MouthPad^ supports head-tracking, allowing users to move the cursor with their head motion while still supporting tongue-based clicks and other gestures.
It’s a fun service and an impressive demo, but to “make music” I need a lot more control than just entering the lyrics and describing the style. That said, there are some awesome examples there already, even with the current limitations, so I’m hopeful. Apparently so are their investors.

It all started with Windows NT 4. It had its own kernel and was enterprise (and network) focused, compared to Windows 98 (which was Windows 95 (which was Windows 3.11 minus the DOS host dependency)) with bolted on network capabilities.

Windows 2000 is literally "Windows NT 5.0", and Windows XP is "Windows NT 5.1". The win95 lineage was decisively killed by Windows Me, after which the NT kernel took over the entire product line.

I did not say that the Arab world is united against Israel. However, there is significant anti-Israeli public sentiment everywhere in the Arab world, even more so than against Iran. Even if Arab leaders are not as sensitive to public sentiment as more democratic countries, they can't easily ignore it entirely, and becoming the main supporter of Israel is not a comfortable domestic position for any Arab leader.

Also, you are grossly misrepresenting public opinion in the USA and the EU. In the USA there is a significant and extremely vocal minority, especially among the Democratic party base, that deeply care for the genocide in Gaza. This has been visible in the major student protests, and in the significant protest votes in Democratic primaries (>10% undecided in some states!). And given the extremely tight election, this is very likely to cause issues for Biden. Now, whether reversing support for the genocide would cause larger issues is debatable, but I think unlikely - as most of the avid Israel-can-do-no-wrong supporters are not going to vote against Trump anyway.

In Europe the situation is even more difficult for the pro-genocide camp, as the population, especially in Western Europe, and doubly especially among the significant Arab, Pakistani, Indian, Turkish, and North African immigrants, is much more sensitive to the issue of colonial genocide.

For the vast majority of Internet traffic, ISPs will not have access to encrypted information, which includes everything except the IP address and domain name. With the additional technologies which I said upfront aren't as common, they wouldn't even have the domain name except by guessing. If you think TLS adoption is low across the Internet in 2024 then I think the burden of proof is on you.
This mixes up the reason and the cause. A deflationary spiral occurs when you have a financial crisis, e.g. due to a debt-based asset bubble, and the economy is not strong enough to stimulate growth through policy changes, e.g. interest rates are already zero etc. This then in turn leads to reduced spending to ensure liquidity, that is reduced demand, which leads to lower prices, which is deflation. Deflation is the result, not the cause. From that point onward, yes, it is possible for the situation to spiral in a feedback loop, but deflation is not why the spiral started.
They don't need to train on your photos to make your photos do these things. It's a diffusion technique / model that can operate on any photo it hasn't seen before. I've seen many "make these people smile in the photo" apps. There is also multiple papers on turning photos into videos.

They demoed the photos history / storyboard et al during Google i/o a week or two ago. The "showing the progress of your child learning to swim" was pretty impressive because it included photos of swimming certificates along side ordering the actual swimming photos, all without needing to organize the photos manually, so there is a query/embedding aspect to it

X's systems for block and mute require the abuse to occur before you have an avenue to respond. Considering that all you need to get an X account is an email account, it's a pretty low bar for brigading. And that's to say nothing about organized campaigns to falsely report an account for abuse.

For individuals, I suppose you can make some kind of argument that those tools are sufficient, but if you're the poor social media manager for some township or minor government agency that draws the ire of the internet hate machine, you have to deal with all the abuse that goes with it. You are barred by the constitution from blocking people (and rightly so), and you have no real power to prevent them from creating sock puppet accounts to continue the abuse. PTSD is pretty common amongst (former, since they fired them all) twitter content moderators, because being consistently exposed to that stuff can eventually be pretty traumatizing.

Why Our Dashboard Stands Out
That is circular reasoning.

If you start saying 0/x is 0 then of course 0/2 and 0/3 are zero. (Or equivalently that 0 x 2 = 0 x 3 = 0.) But that is an entirely different equivalence from factor reduction.

If you don’t start with that assumption and reduce 0/2 and 0/3 only according to shared factors, you find that all three numbers, 0, 2, and 3 can only be factored as a product of 1 and themselves.

(Thus a slightly generalized version of primes, for whole numbers instead of just natural numbers.)

So 0/2 and 0/3 are completely factor reduced.

The equivalence of 0/x = 0/2 = 0/3 = 0/1 = 0 is a separate equivalence. One which is not reversible, I.e. it erases information, and may break commutivity requiring special handling (exception generation, NaN representation, or calculation reordering, etc) if it is applied during intermediate calculations.

If you don’t apply the zero equivalence’s until a final value is calculated, you will always get the same answer, but will have avoided a need for special handling of intermediate calculations.

For instance, an intermediate division by zero followed by a multiplication of zero will cancel, avoiding any need to reorder calculations and yet resulting in the same final answer.

> […] but it can't happen unless the monetary authorities are totally negligent and incompetent, as happened in the great depression.

Or if you do not have monetary policy flexibility, like when you're on the Gold Standard, as happened in the Great Depression (until FDR went off of it).

See Bernanke and James (1990):

> However, Temin (1989) argues that, once these destabiliz- ing policy measures had been taken, little could be done to avert deflation and depression, given the commitment of central banks to maintenance of the gold standard. Once the deflationary process had begun, central banks engaged in competitive deflation and a scramble for gold, hoping by raising cover ratios to protect their currencies against speculative attack. Attempts by any individ- ual central bank to reflate were met by immediate gold outflows, which forced the central bank to raise its discount rate and deflate once again. According to Temin, even the United States, with its large gold reserves, faced this con- straint. Thus Temin disagrees with the suggestion of Friedman and Schwartz (1963) that the Federal Reserve's failure to protect the U.S. money supply was due to misunderstanding of the problem or a lack of leadership; instead, he claims, given the commitment to the gold standard (and, presumably, the ab- sence of effective central bank cooperation), the Fed had little choice but to let the banks fail and the money supply fall.

For a fuller treatment, see Eichengreen:

> This book offers a reassessment of the international monetary problems that led to the global economic crisis of the 1930s. It explores the connections between the gold standard--the framework regulating international monetary affairs until 1931--and the Great Depression that broke out in 1929. Eichengreen shows how economic policies, in conjunction with the imbalances created by World War I, gave rise to the global crisis of the 1930s. He demonstrates that the gold standard fundamentally constrained the economic policies that were pursued and that it was largely responsible for creating the unstable economic environment on which those policies acted. The book also provides a valuable perspective on the economic policies of the post-World War II period and their consequences.

Following the rules of the gold standard is what caused the initial "negligent and incompetent" action. Of course later (1937) on they raised rates too soon (and the government dialled back deficit spending), which caused an economic slowdown.

It was not until the giant stimulus packaged often referred to as "World War Two" that the economy picked up again.

I think maybe you come from an alternate universe. It’s been standard procedure for at least 3 decades to wear your seatbelt, even if loosely, all the time you’re on a plane, apart from when going to the loo or otherwise moving around.

I mean, I don’t really know how to say it without sounding like a git. This is simply what you do. What “everyone” does, for a loose definition of everyone. The “everyone” that wears seatbelts in a car, for example.

Genuine question: you know you should wear seatbelts if traveling in the rear seats of a car as well, yes ?

You describe the music you want in text and it generates the whole music with or without lyrics (your choice) a la stable diffusion. You can optionally supply it with your own lyrics. I don't think it counts as "creating music" yet but with inpainting and better tooling, it can probably get to where text to image generation is today in short order.
