I'm not sure about that. I think the days of assuming people who can code or do another specialized tech sill are long over.

Given how unpredictable the collector's market is, investing for short-term swing collecting seems a high variance strategy.

I don't think that's quite right.

The round rectangles are still perfectly round.

But in the example given, the outline becomes fainter on the rounded sections, because gamma isn't taken into account.

In other words, the shape is perfectly correct, but the antialiasing is buggy.

(It also has nothing to do with gradient striping -- that's an unavoidable artifact of 24 bit color that has nothing to do with gamma. It becomes more noticeable if you don't dither, which generally isn't done in 24 bit color, or when compression is bad, like low-quality JPEG.)

I tried that route. You need an Apple developer account to get your web features only partially crippled, and the "sell your soul" part of the exchange doesn't happen till _after_ money has left your account (which is on a screen promising that you're done, and the payment is the final hurdle, not that it would make it much better if you _knew_ you were paying for the opportunity to perhaps complete the transaction if Apple deems you worthy and accepts your additional offerings).

Maybe that's fine in your world, but the status quo isn't as simple as "just write a website instead."

That is not how the artists I have talked to see it. Many are very angry about it. When I asked one about the generated cover, she came right back with, why didn’t the author reach out to work with them?

And now, DeviantArt is collapsing, as artists flee, and content is being dominated by automated generative AI spamming out content.

Now, I understand the frustration of someone able to see something in their head and is unable to put it into drawing. Storywriting is already an all-consuming discipline … but so is anything creative.

The main difference is that the agreement between Sony and publisher only covers publishers first sale of the material, and their agreements only cover direct revenue share / static prices per unit from publisher.

It does not limit publisher in any way how they want to sell the physical copies, it does absolutely not apply to non-first-sale (depending on the structure of distribution, the box you see in a retail store might already be beyond first sale).

It also does not setup any limits on publishers activities that do not involve Sony licensed IP.

It's similar to how many vendors had revenue share licensing on their products in the past, which is legally distinct from flat percentage applied to distribution channel and limits on said distribution channel

n.b. Sony has, apparently, since PS4 sometimes been cheaper to develop for, in terms of non-revenue-share pricing, than Apple - often providing no-cost loaners for smaller teams.

AFAIK the brakes on most if not all vehicles are more powerful than the engine, and the front ones more so than the rear. To have the rear brakes locked up while the front gets presumably overpowered by the motor is a very odd situation, perhaps best described as a "reverse burnout".

To me “Man” has more of a “each and every” connotation. Compare

“Man must achieve this.”

“Humanity must achieve this.”

The latter is more of a collective emergent thing. And in some cases that leaves you with a diffusion of responsibility kind of passive feeling, while the former is a call to action.

Maybe it’s just my ear.

I think it’s just part of losing connections when you get to the bay. As in you have a network in your home region who you lean on for stuff you aren’t great at and then you get hired a world away in the Bay Area and you need some help with fashion. Not really anything to do with tech being hot or not. It’s just a good region for a fashion consultant to work in as there’s a completely understandable need for the service.
You're describing a situation where the second lien is underwater. This is not itself the value of the loan.

Just in the obvious case, if the borrower continues to pay, the lien is worth the future value of its cashflows. Not everyone who goes underwater on a loan simply stops paying.

In the US, even loans in default tend to have some value, because speculators are willing to buy the debt and attempt collection.

Maybe because electric vehicles don't have gas to stomp on.
Cool, thats why this is a hypothetical question
How does accidentally stomping the gas instead of the brake lock up the rear brakes to leave a 50ft skid?
I'm not familiar with that one but I believe it - there's a lot of repetition for emphasis like that, and for example 'same same' or 'slowly slowly' (धीरे-धीरे) leaks into Indian English for sure.

(And to be honest, my own if I'm talking to people I attempt to speak Hindi (or Hinglish) with - once you're aware of it it seems pretty natural and effective, all of these things do, which is what I find so fascinating really. I've grown up speaking BrE completely without it, but then you hear it and it makes sense. Even head movements other than nodding-yes and shaking-no: couldn't reproduce them, but somehow they immediately make sense, and are so much more expressive than I know how to be with words, certainly to be so succinct anyway.)
There is approximately zero point in calling out the bad behaviour of anonymous applications.
What makes the rear wheels lock except the brakes? Do Teslas have separate front rear brakes like a bicycle?
Yeah, we kind of had a thing about that, you know? There was, like, a whole site called "School Survival" with a pretty active forum where our entire point at the end of the day was "we can do that too" / "we can do that better" / "we could do that but you already tested it out for us, thanks". I wonder if there's some kind of "Abilene problem" happening because it's hard to imagine anyone caring in such a broad sense whether teenagers read what the adults are reading.

I was 14-15 in 2004-2005. My drug of choice was the never-ending 24/7 user-led trivia game (with "name the song/artist" questions on voice chat) in the Trivia Madness!:1 room on Yahoo Chat, and they all thought I was an adult for like a year, until it came up organically. It was funny seeing them all shocked and whatnot, but I can't say there's much to gain from letting people know you're 14 on the internet. They're not going to be all like, "Oh, well, I guess 14-year-olds aren't always total morons, huh?" They're just going to start treating you like you're half a moron.

So I think that if they're doing it right, then ideally we don't notice.

> I imagine this market will be disrupted by an AI-based app that costs much, much less (and only occasionally hallucinates that you look good in something that actually looks awful).

GenAI can't even distinguish between "good" code and "bad" code, which should be much simpler. Believing it's anywhere close to magically developing fashion taste is "AI is magic pixie dust" wishful thinking territory.

Besides, most of the good/bad is based on factors that AI "safety" is scrambling to avoid. If you're a flabby 250lbs 5'10" you have to dress much differently than someone who's an in-shape 180 6'2" in order to look "respectable". But try encoding that into a GenAI product without getting the media jumping down your throat.

Article says rear wheels were locked up, which implies heavy brake pressure.

Why the fronts weren't also locked up is an open question, but in any properly engineered car that should be impossible. The front brakes are always larger and more powerful, so if enough braking force is being applied to lock the rears, the front wheels should also.

That's how the market used to work, but hasn't been the case for generations. Nintendo has sold every platform from the Wii on at a profit.

The PS5 was sold at a slight loss at launch, Sony got production costs down enough to be profitable about a year later (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-04/sony-rais...).

I'm less sure about Microsoft, my understanding is that the Series X is profitable and the Series S is a loss leader. However, both of them can be put into a developer mode and you can run your own (or other people's) code.

Interesting comment by Russ Cox about this: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/61791#issuecomment-16719...
I've never worked with a group that tested each of their rebased commits, and the rebase workflow definitely doesn't make that the default. It's possible, the options are there in the flow, but they're inconvenient and out of the way, and as a result, people don't use them in my experience.

> Not to imply I accept the "corrupt database" opinion, but I think it's worth saying that aside from the collaborative element of VCS, commits exist for the purpose of exploring past code changes. A practice which improves that seems sound to me.

I dispute that rebasing improves exploring history. It makes the history linear at the cost of making intermediate commits untrustworthy.

Both techniques require some manual discipline, and I'd feel differently if in practice people generally would lint and test each commit every time they rebased. If you do, then I've got no quarrel with ya.

> LLMs are human thinking emulators.

They aren't. They are text predictors. Some people think verbally, and you could perhaps plausibly make your statement about them. But for the people who eg think in terms of pictures (or touch or music or something abstract), that's different.

> They're absolutely garbage compared to "system 1" thinking in humans, which is massively more efficient. They're more comparable to "system 2" human thought, but even there I doubt they're close to humans except for cases where the task involves a lot of mundane, repetitive work - even for complex logic and problem solving tasks I'd be willing to bet that the average competitive mathematician is still an order of magnitude more efficient than a LLM SoTA at problems they could both solve.

LLMs are still in the infancy of where we will be soon. However for me the amazing thing isn't that they can do a bit of mathematical reasoning (badly), but that they can do almost anything (badly). Including reformulating your mathematical proof in the style of Chaucer or in Spanish etc.

As for solving math problems: LLMs have approximately read about any paper ever published, but are not very bright. They are like a very well read intern. If anyone has ever solved something like your problem before (and many problems have been), you have an ok chance that the LLM will be able to help you.

If your problem is new, or you are just getting unlucky, current LLM are unlikely to help you.

But if you are in the former case, the LLM is most likely gonna be more efficient than the mathematician, especially if you compare costs: companies can charge very little for each inference, and still cover the cost of electricity and amortise training expenses.

A month of OpenAI paid access costs you about 20 dollars or so? You'd have to be a pretty clueless mathematician if 20 dollars an hour was your best money making opportunity. 100+ dollars an hour are more common for mathematicians, as a eg actuaries or software engineers or quants. (Of course, mathematicians might not optimise for money, and might voluntarily go into low paying jobs like teaching, or just lazing about. But that's irrelevant for the comparison of opportunity costs.)
Alternative take: Tesla has gone into the shitter.

If you want to dress better as a guy without spending $500/hr., I highly recommend Ashley Weston's YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/@MensFashioner

She's a celebrity menswear stylist:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/13/fashion/the-woman-who-dre...

I started watching her videos out of curiosity, and then was really surprised to realize that dressing well is a skill like any other. And that it's not about spending a lot of money, but mostly about learning to pick colors and types of clothing that work well together and work for your specific skin tone and body type, and that are appropriate for the season and setting.

Some of the videos can be a bit clickbaity ("10 things you should NEVER wear!"), but she has a lot of videos that just cover the basics that are really genuinely valuable -- she clearly really cares about trying to help guys dress better. It's a lot of advice that I really wish I'd had someone teach me growing up.
A new draft was released last week -- the committee markup's on Thursday. https://iapp.org/news/a/new-draft-apra-released-ahead-of-27-... has a summary. https://punchbowl.news/wp-content/uploads/PRIVACY_05_xml-005... is the text.

I htink there were three key sections that got cut out:

1) "A covered entity or service provider may not collect, process, retain, or transfer covered data in a manner that discriminates in or otherwise makes unavailable the equal enjoyment of goods or services on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability." This was hugely important, it was sa major victory to get a bipartisan committee majority supporting similar language in APRA's predecessor ADPPA.

2) Requirements for algorithmic impact assessments by large companies (I forget the exact threshold).

3) A requirement to let people opt-out of consequencial automated decisions (with some exceptions), somewhat similar to California's CCPA.
