Python randomness is something I've fought with for a few years. A while back (it's on my GitHub, I can find it if any replies care) I had an issue with something about distributed monte carlo sims all ending up with the same seed or something. More recently I've had an issue that I wanted a large number of random bytes but generated the same across multiple programs. Thinking about it now I could have used an LFSR or similar, but I just seeded the random module and it went fine.

Editing to add that another thing that trips me to every few years is that the hash function isn't repeatable between runs. Meaning if you run the program and record a hash of an object, then run it again, they'll be different. This is good for more secure maps and stuff but not good for thinking you can store them to a file and use them later.
I used to be an artist and then studied science. The first constitution I read was that of the USA, then that of Ireland. I've been reading law since. The decisions of judges are of variable quality and always susceptible to appeal, especially to autonomy. And the Law always falls apart in the face of the philosophy of freshmen, it's how we hold it together in the face of each other that makes it worthwhile.
I suppose I doubt the proposition of '10 year support' - admittedly I haven't done anyone else's job for them.

I don't know if that necessarily means stop selling the product... but tighten up the terms, I guess? Anyone choosing to stay on something that old has chosen those gremlins.

The build of systemd and firewalld on 18.04 are both categorically broken. I don't know whatever people are solving with that old release (and Canonical in support)... but it's less than what those two things do for me when working properly.

The illusion of support for something so decrepit creates more problems than it solves in my experience. Either bite the bullet and modernize/upgrade... or keep playing with the unsupported sands of time
I tried it out. The choices appear to be a bit limited, and the logos I generated had text I didn't want, and I couldn't change that text.

The limitation comes in that it scopes the generation to just a bunch of categories. Is there a way to add some prompting to help it variate more?

1) Yes. That's exactly how people build generational wealth. Which should be a good thing for 95% of the population. Why should your kids have to start over again?

2) Not all success has to be personal. You can and should profit from the wealth that your parents accumulated. I am fine with taxing the obscenely rich and with eliminating their insane schemes to circumvent the tax code. They should pay their fair share.

The entire reason I originally answered you is that it's not entirely orthogonal, and keeping the distinction here is incredibly important.

Being within the top 10% currently puts you into the 160K a year range. That is not rich. This is your ordinary handyman and his wive, doctors, lawyers, engineers, air traffic controllers, etc.

These people are hardworking and in the process of accumulating wealth, for them and hopefully their children. Grouping them with the ultra rich and demanding their taxes to be raised any further is unfair.
Friend of mine recently wrote up a fun little piece on Hamurabi/strategies

Anecdotal, of course, but the goal can be quite different for both groups.

English people choosing English baby names often want them to be relatively unique or stand out in some way. At the very least, they don't want them to be _overly_ common.

Manny people I've talked to that have chosen a name after immigrating are kind of aiming for the opposite. They want to fit in. They already feel that they stand out, and generally try and minimize that.

There's also the fact that for some groups, they're choosing the name at a time when they may not be very familiar with English names or culture, and may not have much in the way of local resources they can or feel comfortable with drawing on, so the main indication they have that they haven't chosen some absurd name is "hey, lots of people here are named that".

There are some digital audio systems that do sample-by-sample processing. Old school digidesign, for example.

But very little digital audio gear works that way these days. The buffer sizes may be small (e.g 8 or 16 samples), but most hardware uses block structured (buffer by buffer) processing.

So there's always a delay, even if 1 sample.

What I don't see in these conversations is how much increasing property prices contribute to killing third places.

People get excited because they bought a house for $200k and it's notionally worth $800k now. In reality they haven't gained anything because every house is $800k and you still need somewhere to live so you still only own one housing unit of wealth.

Worse, people actively lobby for policies that increase housing prices.

But if this house is worth $600k more where is that money coming from? It's coming from the next generation who has to pay substantially more for the same house. It's a wealth transfer from the young to the old.

How does this relate to third places? Well, imagine a neighbourhood cafe. 20 years ago that cafe space might cost $200k and have a commercial rent yield of, say, 5% so it would cost $10k/year in rent for argument's sake. Well, all property has gone up in value so that cafe's space is now valued at $800k. It still demands a 5% yield so that's now $40k/year. All the cafe's customers have to pay for that with increased prices.

So with increases in housing costs, people have less money to spend and that money doesn't go as far. At a certain point, volume goes down and the business has to either close or raise prices, further exacerbating the problem.

Rising housing costs are strangling every aspect of society.

Group boycotts like this one are illegal in certain circumstances. Here's an explanation unrelated to this case:

https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

"Any company may, on its own, refuse to do business with another firm, but an agreement among competitors not to do business with targeted individuals or businesses may be an illegal boycott, especially if the group of competitors working together has market power."
> private jets, yachts, huge bonuses, and other things

You are trying to conflate organizations that aim to make money, and do it so efficiently that the organization-owners can buy those things with the proceeds, with what this person is talking about, which are inefficient organizations that do not aim to make money. There is no overlap.

For that matter if the inefficient organizations in question were more efficient (required fewer tax revenues to function well), there would be net more yachts, not fewer.
> They may not ONLY be fighting for some reasons, but this absolutely one of them.

I’ve attended neighborhood and local council meetings, and I have literally never heard anyone talk about property value except those who are pro density, when accusing and attacking other residents. I’ve heard concerns about density affecting neighborhood character, crime, parking, traffic, etc but not property value. Sorry but I continue to think this is just a false generalization.

> You'd have thought the city council was executing toddlers and pouring sugar in grandma's gas tanks.

You’re claiming that people were angry about property value even though property value wasn’t a concern under proposed changes. That just doesn’t sound believable. Are you sure you’re hearing and understanding their perspective accurately? We all (me too) sometimes hear only what we want to hear.

> I've also met more than my share of property owners who believe that property should be an appreciating asset, and that that is some form of inalienable or constitutional right

Did anyone actually say they think it’s an “inalienable right” or a “constitutional right” or is that your editorialization? I have, however, heard people say that everyone has a “right” to housing - and you can find many opinion pieces saying the same with a simple search. Again, this all feels like projection.
In high school a significant fraction of the effort I put into doing math in my head was expended so that, when playing a game called Galactic Conquest, all of my attack fleets would show up in the same turn. Or two turns, if I was still manufacturing ships.

And then I got sneakier and would send a false fleet to attack the wrong planet in turn X, and the real fleet would show up one or two turns later on the opposite side of the victim’s empire, just after they had committed every spare ship in their navy to a jump in the wrong direction, tying up their logistics until after the fight was over and I was rebuilding planetary defenses, preparing for the counterattack.

I think to tease this apart you need to know some things about muscle physiology. Which basically work by pushing billions (trillions?) of molecular motors in unison.

Energy wise, it's like... glucose is the coal of the power plant, ATP is the electricity shooting down the wire, and then you got creatine kinda acts like a short term battery or capacitator. So your egerny originates from the power plant (glucose) but is stored locally in the mucscle cell (creatine) So you eat a bunch of creatine, it's like building up your battery stores. Your mucscles got more battery means they got more lasting power.

The answer to your question is creatine increases muscle speed by increasing energy supply (not to do with water) in scenarios where lack of energy might otherwise insufficiently supply and thus slow down muscle contractions.

To the and wavey point of "creatine increases water retention" you have to think of the water retention *inside the cell itself* which is driven a lot by osmotic pressure (if you don't know what this is... git gud and come back). And the long and short of it is, if any funkiness happens water-pressure-wise in a cell (from osmosis typically), the cell either shrivels and dies (hypoosmlolar cell) or swells and eggsplodes (hyperosmolar cell). That is to say, the cell is either loosely iso-osmolar to the surrounding tissue, or it's dead. So taking a bunch of creatine isn't going to dramatically alter the H2O homeostasis of your cells given the need to maintain equilibrium and not die. Lest all the muscle cells die, cause rhabdo, die of kidney failure. I hope this helps. It's ompcomilcated

The iceberg is definitely return on investment. OpenAI will eventually hit a peak that is not AGI and it’s shareholders will revolt.
I think in the case of female names there’s so much cyclic effect to it that it’s really hard to say. I could just as easily imagine a few decades ago people saying the same thing about Melissa, Jessica, Amanda, Jennifer, Lauren, Ashley, and all the other names that were super trendy for millennial girls.

Now Ashley is 35 and pushing little Kaylee in the pram, or maybe she’s a business executive — either way, our perception has shifted that “Ashley” is now a woman not a girl. Just like how Gertrude, Beatrice, and Florence are more likely to be playing dolls at the park than bridge at the nursing home.

I don’t understand your point. The person you’re replying to made an argument by quoting factual numbers. Those numbers seem to have sources. Are you saying the numbers are wrong or that their argument has incorrect logic? If not, why does it matter whether the source is biased or rated some way (by whom)? Their information is from public government data, by the way.
These are the actual real dangers of advanced AI, and they could potentially predate any AGI/ASI problems down the road, even if it's for months, the technology close the AGI state-of-the-art level would be advanced stuff, really powerful stuff, codebreaking stuff, revolutionary military strategy making machines, total global supply of stuff absorbing systems (due to fully automated industry production, 24x7x365), capable of taking out of business even the most cash-backed current players (because of trade markets predicting very low future revenues due to impossible lower prices of the automated competition), etc.

We may probably not survive the very first wave of really advanced AI technology or we could get out in very bad shape, and then we could have AGI right there, or worst.

But we could already be quite shaken. Interesting time are coming.

Wow, according to wikipedia, Windows 3.1 was released to manufacturing April 6, 1992.
I don't know if I'm reading this correctly. If this applies to images, and if these watermarks are something like a comment stored in the file's metadata, wouldn't this effectively make it illegal to make a thumbnail of an image? Or to screenshot an image? Or convert it to a .bmp?

> The bill also directs NIST to develop cybersecurity measures to prevent tampering with provenance and watermarking on AI content.

So somehow NIST would have to develop a cybersecurity measure to stop me from making an AI generated image and just screenshotting it, discarding any metadata. I'm not sure how realistic this is.

If the watermark were embedded into the actual pixels of the image then of course it'd be preserved by a screenshot, but my understanding is that those watermarks are not very robust to the image being resized, compressed or cropped

At the end of the day you can also just take a picture of an AI-generated image on your screen using a camera (bonus points if you're in a future where cameras embed digital signatures to verify the image is authentic and not AI generated)
I don’t know of the example systems but I’ve applied to a handful of companies recently, all running the same-ish workday resume ingestion. You can actually tell which are running a more recent version because the parsing is more accurate.

There is also a common no-account single page application software, I checked at a company I’d applied to and it was called Lever(?)

Normally, I thought for ATS parsing if you upload in an application and a few of the prior experience text boxes are accurate, then you’re good. I’ve always had to fix my experiences though, even with using a word doc.
I suspect you and the parent are using different meanings of the word "structured". They're not totally random or they wouldn't be usable. It's a question of what the structuring principle is.

This is an aside, but my how far has Starbucks fallen at the hands of profit optimization. A Starbucks used to be a great place to spend time. Today the interior of almost every Starbucks is cold, beat up, and (intentionally?) uncomfortable. (In the stores where they even still have seating, which another commenter pointed out.) The quality of the product is barely a step above a gas station.

On the other hand, my area has a few excellent locally owned options that are so important to me. When I think about Starbucks vs. one of those locally owned shops, it reminds me just how much a rich tapestry of small businesses in a neighborhood can transform it for the better. Starbucks had that going for a it for a short while.

Perhaps he's just deliberately trolling to confound his critics, but it's equally plausible that he's trying to adjust reality to his feelings rather than the other way around.
The thing is free are just customers you haven’t upsold yet. You can always boot them off your platform eventually, and they cant really complain, cause it’s free tier and it never lasts, and most everyone recognizes that.

But accept $2? Now you’re knowingly taking money from a cheapass, and you owe them some level of service, support, and commitment as they’re paying you.

Free customers are worth so much more than $2 customers.
