If your "art" is actually threatened by AI, I question whether you are doing art at all. Art is not going anywhere. AI will be another tool in the toolbox, but artistry and artistic sensibility is here to stay. AI tools can create pictures, but actually creating art is still a human endeavor.

From orchestras to video games, AI is going to change the way that art is done (and it already has), but the artists are not going away.
I support NASA going to Mars and pay taxes for them to try. I'm a Mars explorer. My tool is NASA.

Yeah, I think I agree. Your boss gets credit for the things you invent. This is a reasonable position.
Use SSO where possible, and use a password manager like 1password, onelogin, or bitwarden when you have to.
> As the photographic industry was the refuge of every would-be painter, every painter too ill-endowed or too lazy to complete his studies, this universal infatuation bore not only the mark of a blindness, an imbecility, but had also the air of a vengeance. I do not believe, or at least I do not wish to believe, in the absolute success of such a brutish conspiracy, in which, as in all others, one finds both fools and knaves; but I am convinced that the ill-applied developments of photography, like all other purely material developments of progress, have contrib­uted much to the impoverishment of the French artistic genius, which is already so scarce. In vain may our mod­ern Fatuity roar, belch forth all the rumbling wind of its rotund stomach, spew out all the undigested sophisms with which recent philosophy has stuffed it from top to bottom; it is nonetheless obvious that this industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most mor­tal enemy, and that the confusion of their several func­tions prevents any of them from being properly fulfilled. Poetry and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place. If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.

— Charles Baudelaire, On Photography, 1859

Seems broken? Pressing play isn't doing anything for me
So an awk but that knows how to walk structures instead of just lines. Excellent!

I'm a big fan of semgrep letting me query ASTs, this feels like something in a similar space. Down with lines, up with everything being trees!
Anecdotally, I think computer skills are generally lower in the younger generation. At work they reflexively Google everything, even things that live on the company intranet. Local, web app, cloud, they don’t understand where stuff is. Simple hardware troubleshooting is tough for them. The era I grew up in was when computers required fiddling with to work, kids these days don’t get the same experience.
Well, if you've never known an entitled "idle rich" person, nor worked at a high-skill company taken over by vulture capitalists, nor found yourself bound by a malicious non-compete, nor been a member of a "lesser" gender or caste, nor ...

The law you mention is very nice, on paper. In the real world, there are a very large number of people whose interests it runs contrary to. And those people control quite a bit of our social, economic, and political systems.
These are good attributes for code to have, but I would strenuously disagree that they are what makes code good. Harder to measure, but I would say more important, are softer qualities like being clear to read, safe to modify, easy to learn, and above all, solving a valuable problem.
The problem is that this particular project uses camera and wireless networking, both requiring very non-trivial drivers. It is possible, in principle, to do it on bare metal, but getting the required peripherals working won't be easy.
Yes, that is why I chose Leonardo as an example.

These aren't "secret censorship orders". They are a matter of public record.

Also they are perfectly legal. Brazil has a modern "Internet Law" which in its Section III, Article 19 states:

"Art. 19. In order to ensure freedom of expression and prevent censorship, the provider of internet applications can only be subject to civil liability for damages resulting from content generated by third parties if, after an specific court order, it does not take any steps to, within the framework of their service and within the time stated in the order, make unavailable the content that was identified as being unlawful, unless otherwise provided by law."

I think the dichotomy is a gross simplification when presented as a single style or piece of advice to be implemented globally. The challenge of the founder is to know what is the truly important part of their product/market and exercise a Founder mode style for those areas. It's where your time as a founder is most valuable. There's reason most of the Steve Jobs tales are from product design perspective. I expect he knew that was, or would be, a significant differentiator of his product. Yet, as his company was scaling he likely was pulled in many more directions regarding other concerns of a scaling company as all founders would be (HR, Accounting, etc), and he knew that's where you exercise Manager mode. Hire a good head of HR and CFO and let them do their job. It's not worth his time to invest much effort in those types of functional minutia although they are very important and necessary parts of scaling.
If 'the artists are not going away' involves either paying the artists less or reducing the number of artists or the meaning of being an artist being redefined I would not immediately agree. ... but the third one is doing a lot of lifting.
Extra points if they can compare to bridge engineering too.
How much does the drug war cost?
Regarding the cancer microbiome controversy, I am on the side of the skeptics. The issue of mis-identifying human sequences as bacterial (due to human DNA contamination in bacterial reference genomes) is a big problem, and the authors of the original study didn't properly filter out human-derived sequencing reads. That error, by itself, invalidates the paper.
I recall a similar statement attributed to Socrates, something about how writing was making people's memory worse.
I always look askance at a blanket statement.
The right-wing Israeli government?

Seeing as that's who their military reports to.

The US may not be restraining them sufficiently, inasmuch as any country can another, but it's kind of a weird question.

Israeli is more than capable of bombing Gaza into the stone age even absent US military aid.

The broader finger pointing should be that, as always, nobody actually cares about the Palestinians.

The West doesn't care, because Israel. The East doesn't care, because why would they? And the Middle East doesn't care, because as much as they trumpet the Palestinian cause to boost domestic popularity, none of them are actually willing to suffer consequences for the benefit of Palestinians.

Which leaves... the Houthis and Iran, neither of which are very linked to the global economic network at this point, and so have little to lose.
I had (have) a hard time understanding this comment until I got to the "Use in Crime" section.

The estimate of 50k criminal cases involving scopolamine in Columbia makes it sound mainstream.

Nevertheless:

Part of the problem (as I understand it) is Oregon didn't really have the actual treatment capacity to make their decriminalization approach work when the law first rolled out.

Oregon has since poured tons of money into treatment centers and capacity is much, much better. But it unfortunately appears to be too little too late w/r/t public sentiment on decriminalization. Hopefully the next state to try it can learn from Oregon's mistakes and make sure their plan includes ramping capacity beforehand instead of simultaneously.

I’m curious what gets a party designated as extremist in Germany.
The way you put it makes it sound like drugs are defacto decriminalized in Seattle.
It's fascinating to see how deeply embedded Fasnacht is in the local culture, especially when you live in the heart of it. My kids are always talking about it all year round, eager to play the drum themselves. You can hear the music of drums and pipes weekly in the evening as people practice, preparing for those three days. It’s truly a life-long commitment for many and absolutely beautiful when it starts out of nothing at 4‘o clock in the night and vanishes as fast three days later.
The best way to handle service accounts is nobody knows the password. When X needs to troubleshoot, they change the password, do what needs to be done, then change it again afterwards, to some unknown value.

It's a lot easier if you automate the password delivery to the service account. 1Password can do this with their CLI offering and Vault/OpenBAO can also do this. There are other password managers that can do similar things as well.

With Vault/OpenBAO, for many services, it can handle password rotation and can even generate accounts(with appropriate permissions) for you, so you need access to Y service, Vault will create a temporary account. When the token expires, it will delete the account automatically.

If you can't get there yet, then you limit the damage by limiting the shared password to a small set of people, use a password manager and as soon as any one of them leave the group, rotate the password.
That isn't really much evidence though: unhoused, who are more likely to get addicted to fent, have long migrated to west coast cities due to mild weather and social services, ever since the late 19th century when the meme was a classic hobo with a bindle hopping a freight train to San Francisco. You will see similar horrible affects of fentanyl in Vancouver BC as well, so we don't even have to speculate if American policy is to blame.
In that case, I think the answer to your hypothetical is "If you can convince people to call you that then yes."

Didn't Warhol explore this conceptual space during his career?
Yep. The problem with outside advice is that it's too often a low-effort opinion missing the context founders in the arena have. Another problem is too many rich people don't fully intellectualize the advantages or dumb luck (timing) they had on their side, and tend to freely proclaim opinions that aren't based on evidence as "iron clad laws". The best thing you can do as a founder if you have noisy a board member or investor is to derisk their mandatory "suggestion" on a smaller scale. It's probably a waste of time, but maybe not.
1Password is brilliant. They have all sorts of open source libraries and integrations on GitHub.
I drink a fair amount of tea, and I never understood why people put milk in their tea. Can you explain what you like about the sensation of milk in tea?

I am genuinely curious because this seems to be a near-universal thing in Britain, and I just... don't get it.
> California is the most famous example, with checkpoints at all road entryways to check for and control entrance of raw produce

As someone who has crossed that border many times in Tahoe, enforcement a) relies on the honesty from the people in the car b) runs seemingly randomly (ie more than half the time there is no checkpoint c) even when running enforcement is applied selectively based on whether you have California plates or not.

I think OP is probably talking about the practical effect of success of trying to control state borders effectively vs what you see which may be mostly for show / best effort. Of course you may be replying to “mass scale” smuggling vs what independent people may try to smuggle.
I joined IEEE when I was at Google and despite cancelling my subscription long ago, the amount of physical spam mail I get from them is truly infuriating — life insurance offers, 2+ copies of various publications, and a lot more. It’s truly madness and it has put such a negative taste in my mouth with respect to IEEE.
This was easily the greatest article ever written on the web clipboard interfaces.

I didn't even know about isTrusted until a couple of weeks ago when I was writing some widgets to speed up some tasks by automating a bunch of web controls. I couldn't get my auto-paste to work, discovered that flag and went down a rabbit hole of trying to over-ride a safety mechanism on my own local browser (not easy!).
Is that true if the central planners had access to the digital data of Walmart, Costco, Target, Amazon, etc all at the same time?

I wonder if the amount of data needed for efficient central planning is now here.
This sounds like my average day while working in downtown Atlanta. The one-way streets in Midtown can be a bit confusing but they are well marked.

I can't count how many times I was almost either run over or hit while driving by someone who went the wrong way down a one-way street. It got to the point where I had the habit of almost exclusively looking for traffic in the wrong direction when using a crosswalk.
I don't think a simple signature is sufficient if you want to maintain privacy with both the party you are trying to convince that you are over 18 and the party that signs the statement saying you are over 18.

If the signer keeps a copy of the signature and who they made it for, someone who gets a hold of that and the records of party you used the signature at they can find out who you are.

There are ZKP based protocols that allow for age verification where even if the party that attests to you age keeps records they do not find out where you are using that attestation, and the party you use the attesting with only finds out that you are above their age threshold and what attesting party you used.

I think that this can be done without ZKP if instead of simple signatures we use blind signatures.
This is utterly, utterly horrifying.

Every time you start innovating, problems will happen. But you can’t quit.

What they did was legendary and right. They just need to tweak the formula a little bit, not go back to the broken, heartless criminalization.

We don’t have the right to tell people if they can’t do drugs. It’s a crime without a victim.

I’ve never done drugs, but I would give my life to see this horrible behavior of “righteous” imprisoning people without just cause.

Good job Portland for trying. Figure out the mistakes made, and try again, but this time better!
The fuck do you think “statistically speaking” actually means? Your anecdote of 1 does not a statistic make.
Ah I see, you meant that the other governments weren't being considerate of the consequences of selfish demands and it ended badly.
People however don't tend to have perfectly uniform cups even in their own home, and whenever outside one's home, the chances are very low that somebody can make accurate adjustments for a new vessel due to our well documented inability to compare volumes across different vessels.

Further the milk first method cannot account for differences in tea strength across brewings.

If we take the amount of times/chances milk first could lead you astray vs. the amount of times tea first plus stirring as you pour could lead you astray, the former is oviously greater and more likely.

I saw somewhere here somebody talking about the different ways the milk sugars might caramelise with the two methods being a factor, and obviously the article suggests there is a difference between the two methods in terms of flavour, but in terms of reliability of flavour, the latter option is obviously more reliable.

I take my tea black and unsweetened anyway, unless I'm drinking Hong Kong style milk-tea that is... then all bets on my blood-sugar levels are off...
I think you will find that neither will be the case. There have always been a vanishingly small number of artists who can make money on art, and that pool (and their value) will not be decreasing.

Much of that pool is doing live performance art, like dancers and musicians, and when Napster and Spotify came to "destroy" the musician by giving everyone infinite reach, what actually happened was that more people succeeded as professionals.

The photograph was also a tremendously good thing for visual artists, bringing in the impressionist era and opening up a whole new field of art in itself.

As to the concept of changing the nature of the work of the "artist" - I can't think of an artist whose work wasn't changed by the technology of the time. From Prussian blue to the electric guitar, artists are usually made great by showing the new possibilities of the new technology of the age.

The X preview seems to crop on the left for a couple sites I tried. Not sure if that is accurate or not. Those sites look good in the other previews. I tend to use iMessage as a test and they look okay there, which I believe uses the X/Twitter tags.
Yes me too!
This is amazing for reading glasses -> computer glasses. Converting a normal distance -> reading means adding 1.15 to one column of numbers. But it was too strong for me, so I used eye buy direct to try a sweep from 100%, .66%, and .33% and each are great for different situations

.33 of 1.15 was amazing for computers, comfortable but I can still look at distance somewhat

> There's millions of things we could or need to spend tax dollars on and you suggest enabling drug addicts?

Drug camps aren't really enabling drug addicts, it is just giving up on them and dealing with the humane problem of just keeping them alive for as long as possible as cheaply as possible.

But I can also empathize with your position, which is more what the Chinese do. Zero tolerance is given to drug addicts, and unless their families pay up for treatment, they are going to work camps until they die. With harsh consequences, people avoid that, even if they are unhoused.
Because public (voters) don't care enough. Like, did you file a police report? Did you film the police officer doing nothing? Did you sue the police for not doing their duty?

And no one did, because no one cares enough. There are more pleasant things to do, e.g. online.
Dual cameras at 90deg to each other with lightweight onboard ml to decide capture / no capture + geotargeted higher frame rate captures for regions of interest. In a housing that can handle hard impacts from brush and off-road use (we take pictures of pasture).

A lot of the video solutions have much worse image quality than a still camera operating at 1fps to 1/20 fps; you can stick a quite good camera on an rpi.

It's quite likely we could COTS this but there was no interest from vendors when we wanted to start with 200 of them. So we went with a custom solution.

Yea, it's pretty silly that this is the case in our culture, and is a mark against using the paradigm of property rights to manage acknowledging the contributions of creatives
A good re-engineering of any legacy system starts with logging. Reading code is simple, just use your eyes. But understanding what the code actually does requires knowledge of not just code but also data. The data that actually flows through the system on a regular basis and how it gets transformed from one function call to the next.

The next necessary step is piecemeal migration. You're not going to be able to process all request types from the get go. Start with building a new system that handles form A and leave forms B through Z to the existing system. The next project will be to tackle form B, and so on.

If either of these steps isn't possible (due to dysfunctional management, usually) then the project is doomed to fail.
I think if you want to write papers that use the word "Metamaterial" your choices are Science, Nature and Cell. Like those other two Cell seems to be a molbio journal that publishes an occasional paper in another field, like physics, if it has "Hey Martha" potential but couldn't pass peer review at The National Enquirer. (But even they don't seem to publish exobiology papers by Avi Loeb)
He is referring to the difference between having corporate motivators for art vs. pure expressionism, not saying that there is zero artistic expression in corporate settings.
Sure. But the mechanism of that arbitrage is mostly that training changes to match demand.

If demand drops for an uncommon/rare skill, then you can get an oversupply that lasts for decades. Wages can drop a lot despite the skill still being uncommon/rare.

The mistake make with such data is that it can predict the future. At best, if the data is fairly accurate and complete it is only a good indicator of the past.

The fundamental flaw of central planning at scale is that a small number of people will sustainably predict the future well enough to plan better than if they let individuals make decisions for themselves.
Why not enforce criminalization but invest in better "Nordic style" prisons, which put rehabilitation and treatment at the forefront. Increase safety for the inmates in the prison so they can rebuild themselves instead of societal retribution. IMO prisons are grossly underfunded.
