The title seems a little misleading, the support page makes it sound more like they scan incoming, potentially unsolicited images for nudity. I guess if you are in the habit of sending people dick pics, then I can see the title being "Apple can scan your photos or videos to detect whether they contain nudity before the recipient opens them"
Even the good AI image generators struggle with details like fingers, and ear lobes, and other small but important details.

Also, I found this quote interesting: "...Stability AI’s insistence on censoring adult content from SD3’s training data". Da Vinci figured this out hundreds of years ago, that to draw accurate pictures of humans, you need to understand the human body.

Drive around office parks around 4 am, and you'll invariably encounter cleaners who either don't live locally or can't afford to live nearby living in their cars.

See also: the number of people living along the highways, freeways, and under bridges in the Silicon Valley region from Palo Alto east southeast to San Jose, and then north northwest to Newark.

And, again the number of people living in RVs and cars from Palo Alto to Sunnyvale.
Yes the accurate way is to add receipts plus unpaid annual taxpayer liabilities. Divide by gdp. Most the weird ways you see are bogus, for interesting controlling for average taxpayer doesn't take into account the plebs ultimately pay the taxes of the rich through higher prices that look like private income/spending but are actually offsets for higher tax.
There may be a nonzero chance of developing a superintelligence (or even AGI in any meaningful sense), but it's so close to zero that it doesn't matter.

Particularly because if a superintelligence is actually created, it won't matter who did it. It won't be the servant of the creators.
It is hard, but don't forget that toys are learning tools too! You can learn a lot without overtly feeling like you're studying. An example is playing a "learn math" game vs playing Slay the Spire which innately includes a lot of math you have to grasp. Or Hue to understand color theory and color grading without it ever feeling like a "lesson". Kerbal Space Program for basic physics, Portal for momentum and logic (Portal 2 can be great for coop sessions where they figure out how to collaborate and communicate through tough problems that seem impossible).

A lot of the lack of curiosity is because so many kids are taught to view curiosity as boring, rather than fostering that curiosity as just another form of play.

There are even things like minecraft plugins/servers where text is translated to a language of your choice, and everyone is encouraged to use only that language to collaborate which can be such an exponentially fast way to learn languages without ever feeling like it's a chore.

So don't be afraid to seek out things that blur the lines between education and play! Foster that creativity and curiosity.

Im not in US but I work for a well known company based in SF. We had a position open for almost six months, with a simple take home test. The position was fully remote. The number of resumes was very low and no one passed the test even remotely close to be considered a potential hire.It wasn’t a dev role but rather something along the lines of devops/sysadmin, but anyway. Oh, and the test was a couple of leetcode style tasks, easy level (or maybe just a little above easy).

The position is now closed and we’re hiring internally instead.
Oh right, that's obviously not going to work unless you're willing to waste a huge amount of resources on speculative execution.

The fact that the selection of the next bisect depends on the result of the current one completely slipped my mind!
I disagree with the idea that notebooks and McDonalds are somehow inherently and fundamentally bad. They fit a certain niche, and you should use them accordingly.

If we agree on the definition on the assault as this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault

Then it is not assault. See? The problems already started. The best you can get after an ardous process is an apology and a reinboursement, the worst would be it coming back at you.

Where I live, they recently declared gazing at a woman "indecently" as a small sexual crime, same as unrequested flirtatious comments to strangers. I have grabbed phones before, but I admit I haven't broken any. YMMV
State pensions are anything but "lavish". The social security welfare state predates the baby boom you speak of and also exists in countries which never had it. Below replacement rates are a problem, yes, but that can be solved if you work towards not making "having children" be a luxury not affordable for the proles.

On your other topic, let me point you to a certain western country which has always had a torrent of immigration from all around the globe and has not had the cultural downfall and obliteration in fire and flames that you vaticinate: a certain United States.

A prior generation of Web content had progressively-loaded images: a low-resolution (and sometimes monochrome) initially, followed by a higher-resolution image.

I'm not sure of the specific implementation(s) used, but progressive JPEP (PJPEG) Is A Thing:

<https://imagekit.io/blog/progressive-jpeg/>

Lazy-load + progressive JPEG might be a further optimised solution.

Then there's the Low-Tech Magazine approach to highly optimised, low-bandwidth dithered images:

<https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/the-solar-website/#h...>

Dithering is to an extent a design decision, but given that most images are not actually informative but provide site styling and branding, reduced quality on most images isn't a bad trade-off. Where representational fidelity is required, vector formats, line art, SVG, and the like may be more appropriate.
Fascinating stuff. Thanks.
There’s something really nice about consoles for me still. I love just dropping on my couch, pressing a button on my controller to start run console, pressing one more button to launch a game, and I am exactly where I left off last time with no load times. Takes me about seven seconds to get back in. As somebody with 2 kids it makes gaming more feasible haha
I think people may be misusing notebooks. They aren't there to develop software but serve as virtual versions of scientific notebooks (hence the name). They are there to conduct experiments (changing parameters and the like in your code) and to record and plot the results. You don't have to develop the software itself in the notebook.
Retention is all you need: The war for AI talent is heating up
I've never been a fan of notebooks, it always felt like a strange way to run my code. What's the real advantage over creating scripts? If I want my code to run somewhere I would need to notebook architecture or just turn it into a normal script anyhow
i find the concept of "stolen" text, which was originally crowd-sourced for free, to be a really tiresome argument. i don't exactly understand why anyone would defend, for example, reddit's ownership over the content generated by its millions of users. i am glad my decade of shit posting on reddit contributed to something other than reddit's profits
I'm not who responded to you, but I think the important difference from some other languages is you can't define arbitrary operators, but there does seem to be Traits for overloading at least most of the built-in operators.
The stated goal of Russia in publicly made speeches is to control the land Gap in NATO territory in Poland. That is the reason why they invaded Ukraine

Russia will not stop at Ukraine. Their publicly stated goal just like they're publicly stated goal for invading Ukraine is The first step to militarily controlling that Gap is called the sulwaki gap

I forgot what the name of the person is, but there is a naval war college professor who explained that Russia is a continental empire and it's the key to its defense are control of seven gaps without those Russia considers themselves indefensible.

Ukraine is the necessary defense line. Because the next thing that happens is Russia invades NATO gets its ass kicked conventionally and then there's a nuclear war

Do you know mobile shell (mosh)? [1]

If you get to choose which days, then that's the flexible part. Hybrid by itself would not necessarily let you choose.

If you could stay home the entire week, then it wouldn't be hybrid flexible, it would just be flexible.

So I don't see the issue.
If you have persisting health problems and live in the US health system you definitely need to consult with health professionals and healthcare finance professionals about the best longterm choices. Moving to low health cost states may limit access to treatment longterm, staying put in the bay may cause you more stress and immediate ongoing cost but could provide better health outcomes. It depends.

I hate to say this, but your long-term health is more important than your ideation of a career path in software and its not impossible your best choice is to seek a job that leverages your skills but isn't focussed on FAANG or start up culture. One with an agency or company which has a good HMO and a good work culture.
> The normal stuff: no real names, no photos, no giving away details to anyone.

For the record, none of this has been "normal" for 15+ years. Sharing personal details - either publicly on social media or "privately" online is absolutely normal now.
Perfect, you have the choice of 1000s of bland AI-written slop and no local (or even national) independent press. Peachy.

There is such a thing as a public good outside of the logic of The Market.
The paper talks about Verdi, Wagner, etc. The "Non piu andrai" link is Mozart, and not performed very well. In fact it supports the article.

For big spinto voices search for Franco Corelli, for big dramatic voices Mario del Monaco. And these two were already at the end of the golden age.

This is not a case of rose tinted glasses. It is all on YouTube and painfully evident. The article gives a couple of sane reasons: Very few people are exposed to singing in the first place these days, so talent goes unnoticed. The war on masculinity might play a role for men as well.
> Why should the US get to make law for the whole world, and then enforce that law in US courts?

A longish response would be: "The United States is generally a force for good, and it's the main provider of the very-costly Pax Americana that supports so much of global commerce and a rules-based international order. If we decide you need to follow our standards everywhere if you want to enjoy access to our country, you're always free to refuse — and to accept the consequences."

The short, brutalist response would be: "Because we can."

A footnote: You seem to think that "sovereignty" is some kind of magical concept that causes everyone to honor the wishes of another people. It's not; history amply proves that "sovereignty" is simply shorthand for "we think we shouldn't have to do what you want us to do, because reasons, and we're willing to gamble that our economic power and military might (alone and/or with allies) are enough to enforce our preference over yours."

Some of the worst code I've seen in my life lives in Jupyter notebooks. But that's fine, it's meant to be throwaway code. The problem is a lot of places/people do not use it as such.
>Freezing Russia's sovereign assets was far more consequential as it eroded the trust on the westerns financial system somehow.

How, exactly? We have spent the last two years building a watertight legal justification for doing so. Nothing was arbitrarily taken, and they are still earning interest on that balance. But if you break international law, you will face international legal consequences, under due process of the law that you agreed to abide by through taking part in our system.
De rigueur at Meta and Google.

Salary negotiation consultants are a thing.
This is irrelevant for this. They are deficit spending in their local currency. Their US dollars are going to a massive frenzy of commodities import. They are just diversifying their reserves, less US bonds, more physical goods like copper, coal, gold, etc.
Do you drink alcohol in the evenings? Alcohol has a sedative effect at first, but your body compensates and so you'll tend to wake up when the alcohol wears off, rather than when you're fully rested.

I'm past the point of consciously doing these things so I probably use it more than this.
I'm an embedded person, so clueless on this stuff. Are notebooks really used in prod? Outside of applications where notebooks are specifically useful to the goal of the system, ie. documentation,blog posts,textbooks with interactive/data driven elements? How would this even work? Can an ipynb file be mechanized in the same way a py file can?
I like notebooks because they let me see the result of immediately and i can trace my steps

having said that when i see Jupyter notebook I close the tab and do not continue

theres just a sense of dread that I can't explain...perhaps its PTSD from data structure/algorithm comp sci courses that i never completed.
I think the point is you need a naked human body - art classes use volunteers, midjourney presumably uses pornhub. I guess there is not a lot of naked human images out there that’s not porn.
Second Life has this problem in a big way. There are major landlords keeping properties in good areas off the market or setting very high prices on them to drive rents up. It's working, too. Any good property that comes up for sale at a low price is snapped up by a big landlord and the price raised.

Cheap land is available, but it's going to be on a rocky plateau or behind a truck stop or something.

Another way to say this is that if you you're at the 25th percentile in California, you're making more than your counterpart in 43 other states. If we randomized and reassigned everyone's salaries, would you prefer a higher chance of having a higher salary or would you rather a lower salary but have less of a gap between you and someone who earns more?

Of course, what the article fails to do is look at living costs, which I expect would change things a great deal.

> they know that they can't do a firesale of US bonds as it would obliterate a lot of their wealth.

Wealth and power are hard to distinguish at this scale. Suppose PRC were to a) instigate a global crash of USA Treasury assets and b) offer to swap USA debt for PRC debt for preferred clients. Rather than watch their UST holdings evaporate, most global wealth managers would take the deal. And then RMB does become #1 reserve currency overnight...

Yes it would be terribly "expensive" for PRC in nominal terms, but what is the price of global financial hegemony?
Even if you're right and I haven't looked at it the specific one cuz I don't really care, it's a short-term result.

Russia is in the early midst of a complete demographic meltdown even before the war.

The invasion Ukraine happened cuz this is the last disposable generation Russia could muster for invasion.

Of course this is just hastening their demographic decline in the next 10 years.

Combine that with the fact that it hastens the adoption of EVs and the moving off of fossil fuels, everything that Russia thinks it's achieving in this war is leading to it's more rapid decline in the next decade.
Generally speaking, software development seems to be one of the most flexible careers I'm aware of in that regard.

If you miss shifts in a restaurant, you're gonna be fired. If a sales rep frequently has to cancel meetings with clients that's a problem. And if you're in middle management you've got a lot of meetings that can't be missed.

But software development is pretty forgiving, and even more so now with remote work. A lot less meetings, a lot more people working highly flexible hours.

As long as you can deliver a full time job's worth of productivity over the course of a quarter, if health concerns make your productivity much more variable so that you've got slower days and faster days, slower weeks and faster weeks -- and that your faster periods compensate for the slower ones -- you'll probably be OK. At least the places I've worked.

If your health problems and pain are such that you can't deliver a full time job's worth of productivity, or where you expect to be frequently missing whole weeks or months due to health issues, then of course that's another story.
The stupid idea is believing public transit always implies longer and worse.

In most of the world where residential areas don't need highway-sized roads and you don't need 2 acres of parking lots for a grocery store, you can just walk for most activities.

Destinations are closed enough to your house that you can walk to the park or the bar. For activities that require hauling such as your groceries bikes tend to be enough. And for the people that do require a vehicle such as a work truck, there's so much less traffic on the road that it actually benefits them as well.

The issue is the US is stuck in a local minimum that is way worse than what's possible. They need cars because they build for cars because they need cars.

In reality you could _not_ need cars, because you don't build for cars, because you don't need cars.
Obviously no country code can be a prefix of another one. The switches would not know how to interpret it.

But 2 or more countries can use the same country code. The area code will determine which country you call to.

In the North American numbering plan +1 all numbers must have a fixed length 3 + 3 + 4.

In many other numbering plans the length varies. Both area code length and subscriber number length can vary. So it gets pretty complicated to parse a number. Basically rules don't help, you need a database and you need to update it regularly. No idea whether an open, non-commercial data set exists.

When I call to Germany Android shows the name of pretty small places. I believe Android reports every number you call to Google. But the database is probably still local, I believe locations are also shown when you have no data connection.

I am not from the US, but I understood there you might also need extensions to be dialled after the number proper.

Should mandate EVs with swappable battery packs.

Also, the US mil is notorious for wreaking ecological havoc and environmental disasters, and poisoning enlisted personnel. (Ask my dad how that Agent Orange exposure was on the flight line.) This is par for the course.

Ooh, good point! I should definitely look into that.
The US military is a logistics organization that occasionally happens to project power.
> Many of these security problems are solved.

I have found that thinking a security problem is "solved" is a big warning that you're at risk. There's no such thing as perfect security in anything. If you adopt the mindset that you're "safe" in some sort of absolute way, you stop looking very hard for security breaches and won't catch the one that will, sooner or later, happen.
I hope someday there will be a backlash.

- dumb TVs, or open-source TVs.

- dumb phones, or completely open-source smart phones.

- dumb EVs, or completely open-source EVs.

I think the profit for open source stuff is not guaranteed, so funding a company is hard. People who fund companies want lock-in, patents, product monopoly. They don't want something that can be copied and productized by another company that had no R&D costs and then undercut in price.

that said, it is definitely something society wants.
