This looks really slick!

Maybe this is too much of a tangent, but is it reasonable to want to see a la carte pricing options?

For instance, I have an enterprise project that I could see using this for, but that's a project with a discrete time budget (probably 1-3 months) and a tool like this would see heavy usage for the first few weeks, then intermittent usage, then we would only need to use it for maintenance updates far in the future.

The initial $1k/mo tier fills me with worry, because I can see blowing through my usage credits in the first month (and then I need to contact sales about signing up for the enterpri$$$e option), but then I wouldn't need nearly so many subscribed credits in the later months (and I imagine they don't build up like Audible credits, but instead are use-it-or-lose-it -- which also isn't great for how our development goes in spurts).

This is not the only AI tool that uses pricing like this (looking at you, Roboflow!) -- but I've never felt like this structure fits with the intermittent patterns of AI development that I use in my day-to-day job. I can understand wanting to have customers sign up for SAAS and the reliable income that such things would bring, but I feel like a la carte pricing for these kinds of tools (even if they were 4x or 5x more expensive than the equivalent credits in the subscription bundles) might let me try out these tools in an enterprise environment without waffling between "free tier" and "recurring SAAS budget line-item".
Hi HN! I'm George Arrowsmith and I'm really pleased to announce my new course, Learn Phoenix LiveView. It's a written tutorial that will teach you how to build a Slack clone in LiveView.

I'm not officially affiliated with the Phoenix team in any way, but I'm head over heels in love with Phoenix and LiveView. They make it soooo fast and fun to build a web app that I never want to go back to anything else. But I struggled to find good learning material when I started - so I've decided to create some.

My goal has been to create a completely thorough and comprehensive resource that takes people from beginner to advanced and teaches them everything they know to build a rich, fully-featured LiveView app. So the course isn't just about LiveView - it teaches the full Phoenix stack including Ecto.

I really wanted to create a realistic app for this tutorial. So many existing courses teach you only how to create silly, contrived micro-apps that don't have any of the complexity and trade-offs of a real production app.

I really hope people enjoy this tutorial and that I can help more people experience the power of Phoenix LiveView!
If the wage is too low, then businesses won't be able to find the people they need.

I disagree with the idea that a job should pay in proportion to the value it generates. In a just world, the dishwasher would be paid way more than me because his job sucks, but mine is something that I literally do for fun in my free time. I accept that we do not live in a just world, nor do I know what sort of economic system could achieve my desired outcome. So maybe the current paradigm is the best we can do. But it's not very fair.
MyHouse is excellent, but it mostly breaks our perception of what the Doom engine is capable of by not really using the Doom engine. It leans heavily on engine features which were embellishments by the GZDoom project, and never existed in the original Doom codebase.
Can we stop with these drive-by comments on every project that uses a permissive open source license? You are certainly welcome to create your own UI framework under the GPL if you want. The contributors have chosen MIT and that is a perfectly valid decision.
It storms a lot here. And kids are notorious for not hearing things that are obvious to the rest of us. :)

My kids aren't paranoid, they don't freak out about the storms. It's just a natural thing, and a reminder that there's a potential that nature's best light show is in store for them. A nice side effect is that they're not afraid of storms—they look forward to watching them.

i would be perfectly fine with regulators enforcing sloping roofs by default and only allowing flat ones if you explicitly and deliberately apply for an exception

it would save lots of unknowing homeowners easily preventable problems stemming from flat-roof McArchitect homes that look modern but aren't practical, and allow the ardent individual flat-roofers (lol) to get what they want if they absolutely must

OPTION 1. Donate to the Sustainable Island State Contribution (SISC)

Your SISC donation to the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis must be at least $250,000 as a single applicant. Additionally, this rises to $275,000 if you include an extra dependent under 18. Furthermore, if you add a dependent over 18, you will pay $300,000.

OPTION 2. Invest in Property

The Developer’s Real Estate Option requires you to invest no less than $400,000 in an approved real estate development. Consequently, you must own the property for at least seven years. Furthermore, it can only be resold once, to a new CBI programme member.

In contrast, an Approved Private Home, either a condo or single-family dwelling, qualifies as a CBI option. In this case, you must pay at least $400,000 to the condo owner and $800,000 to the single-family dwelling owner.

Subsequently, you have to own the private home for at least seven years. Following this, you can’t resell your real estate investment to a CBI applicant unless Federal Cabinet approves. Ultimately, you must inject substantial extra investment by way of construction, renovation, or any other improvements.

OPTION 3. Contribute to an Approved Public Benefit Project

Invest at least $250,000 in a project that boosts local employment and, also, transfers all real estate to the State on completion.

Ordered 2 flash drives both are probably counterfeit the first 1-2gb of write are at spec and then the speed drops to 1/3 of spec.

Anything you order from Amazon has to be tested for counterfeit. If you can’t verify it’s not counterfeit then assume it is. Even if Amazon is listed as the seller they are clearly swapping in someone else’s fakes. Mine has a secondary retail barcode label on them.

I’m going to send them back with a note in a text file saying they are fake. See if Amazon resells them.

been giving it a try for the last couple of days (switched from mate + xmonad). so far it seems pretty promising, bunch of small annoyances or missing features that will hopefully be fixed over time, but it works more smoothly than regolith (the other DE with integrated tiling support) did.

primary annoyances are the lack of stable workspaces (i3 has that issue too) and the inability to remove window title bars. most apparent missing features so far are the lack of a load monitor applet and the workspace pager not showing thumbnails of what is running on each desktop. also I couldn't figure out how to put launcher buttons on the panel but not sure if that's a missing feature or something I'm missing.
> It's a different dynamic than a typical white-collar job where you're interacting with your manager (who can ultimately give you a raise) on a daily basis.

> If it was optional, they would whither away over time.

In France unions are optional (in the sense of adhering to one, their presence is highly regulated and a company cannot do anything against that). They are quite strong (depending on the industry), and representatives are elected.

If a union does not do anything then it indeed whither away.

Now - in our case, some situations are a parody (especially in some places like positions in the administration, the famous fonctionnaires where everybody is on the street when the post office is required to be open outside the times "10:30 to 12:30, except on Mondays", for which their ancestors fought :))

We have a love-hate relationship with unions (which of the love or hate depends on whether you need to take a train and you forgot that there are only 126 days in the year when they are not on strike :))

I mean, this is all true for a war today. But the economies were not intertwined as tightly in 1925, which is when these war plans were being drawn up. The US and Canada had had a pretty nasty border dispute (at least from the losing Canadian side) just twenty years earlier, well within the memory of most politicians running Canada. (I suspect that most Americans had forgotten about the Hays-Herbert Treaty of 1903 by 1925, but it would have been far more prominent in Canadian minds.) With the passage of another century I would be honestly shocked if such plans existed today on either side.

Looking forward to the "rewrite this over and over until it no longer triggers the copyright-warning alarm" button in my IDE
This makes me think we need models to deliberately try to make code that's equivalent to copyrighted code, but sufficiently changed that it's not infringing.

The end state would be to make the rewriting powerful enough that trying to claim infringement would also hit manually created code.

Alternately, generate code that is optimized for some task by some metric, and show that because the code is best by this criterion, it doesn't show creativity.

Another possibility here is for the LLM vendor to log the code generation tasks typically asked for and then salt the model with vetted, correct, non-infringing code for those questions.

1) I'm not sure this is outside scope. It's also not something I'd use to reject a paper were I to review this in a conference. I mean you got to start somewhere and unlike reviewer 2 I don't think any criticism is rejection criteria. That'd be silly since lack of globally optimal solutions. But I'm also unconvinced this is proven my self-driving vehicles but I'm also not an RL expert.

3) It's always hard to evaluate. I was thinking about the ripping the game and so a reasonable metric is a comparison of ability to perform the task by a human. Of course I'm A LOT faster than my dishwasher at cleaning dishes but I'm not occupied while it is going, so it still has high utility. (Someone tell reviewer 2 lol)

4) Why should we believe that it doesn't store gameplay? The model was fed "user" inputs and frames. So it has this information and this information appears useful for learning the task.
No, but doing do would make you altruistic.
You may not understand the scale here. There are about a hundred thousand users, a lot of whom had thousands of scores in this format. Some tens of thousands. It's not a straightforward proposition to simply jump to another platform, especially since there's no perfect conversion between any notation software given the proprietary algorithms involved, and the sheer complexity of music notation itself. It's a bad day for a lot of people.

Also, Telegram seems to have been banned in Russia at times, although I do not know the specific details.

> This is a stepping stone for generating entire novel games.

I don't see how.

This game "engine" is purely mapping [pixels, input] -> new pixels. It has no notion of game state (so you can kill an enemy, turn your back, then turn around again, and the enemy could be alive again), not to mention that it requires the game to already exist in order to train it.

I suppose, in theory, you could train the network to include game state in the input and output, or potentially even handle game state outside the network entirely and just make it one of the inputs, but the output would be incredibly noisy and nigh unplayable.

And like I said, all of it requires the game to already exist in order to train the network.
Do you if the service is exceptional?
I'm sure they do, but that does not change the fact that all of the things Durov is accused of doing are only possible on the infrastructure provided by those same internet companies.

Well, not to play the devils advocate but there have been several instances where most of Europe, including France, made efforts to protect children. Just in the recent conflicts:

EU is against genocide in Ukraine, where more than 500 children were killed and +25.000 children were kidnapped and filtrated in Russia. A deliberate action to eliminate Ukrainians and the Ukrainian culture.

In this case, Putin has several arrest warrants for crimes against Humanity and War Crimes in European countries, and other countries of course, and it will be a matter of time before genocide charges will be set.

They have also been giving aid to Sudan children.

Not to mention they have an unequivocal stance about child casualties in the war Israel-Hamas war:

> The European Council deplores all loss of civilian life. It notes with utmost concern the unacceptable number of civilian casualties, especially children, as well as the catastrophic levels of hunger and imminent risk of famine caused by the insufficient entry of aid into Gaza. It calls on all parties to take every feasible step to protect civilian lives.[0]

They also condemn Hamas terrorist attacks and their usage of Palestinians as protection, including children.

So I don't see that much of a contrast; they seem pretty consistent in supporting child protection.

Do you have better references for countries that are doing a better job at child protection than the EU? So we can have some contrasting measures to understand where the EU is lacking and where others are doing better - after all the EU isn't perfect and has a margin for improvement, it's quite a new organization.

What freaks me out is that clearly many large manufacturers design boxes so that it is easy to resell returned products as new. Lots of mobile phones are packaged with weak seals that do not damage the cardboard once taken out. Google does this and it looks intentional to me. Apple, which I don't like for other reasons, seems to be an exception.

I am very uncomfortable buying electronics and hygiene products from many places because of this problem. For example, years ago, on what became my final Amazon purchase, I received used underwear (yuck!). Knowing that Amazon tends to sell returned products as new, I had explicitly bought a brand that is sealed, shrink wrapped, and promises to dispose returned items, but that wasn't enough.

Recently, I was reading a newspaper article where they described how a criminal gang bought Google Pixel and high-end Samsung phones from reputable online and department stores. They opened them, installed malware, returned the product, and you can guess what happened next. Lots of stolen bank credentials. People tend to buy stuff, test drive it for a few days and return it as new abusing pro-customer regulations. Many shops are unwilling to take a loss and resell these things as new. Very dishonest, should be better regulated.
That's kind of why we have computers, though. To do things beyond our natural capabilities.
