Of course, from 2016, when the Trump derangement hysteria was at its most apocalyptic maximum, before he spent four years as president... relatively uneventfully, constantly criticized by all sectors of the media and persistently, openly investigated by the very government beneath his administration, without being able to stop either in any meaningful way. Very repressive indeed, the very definition of tyranny.

>Democracies end
when they are too democratic

The implicit idea behind this being that people shouldn't be able to choose just anyone as their leader. That perhaps a group of informed social betters, possibly from among those, like the writer, who describe their sipping cocktails with other influential people in Washington while they watch the news with nausea, should have a firm say in how the majority can vote.

Visibly elitist pseudo philosophical hysterics posing as reasoned discourse. In 2016 it was especially notable. These people too can easily slip into authoritarian ideations.
My prediction is that C will still be in active use 100 years from now.

No one in the industry uses Apple's marketing in any real sense. The marketing is not for you - its sole purpose is to sell more Macs to their target market.

That you are distracted by it is not Apple's problem - and most other industry players don't GAF about Apple's self-comparisons either.
Anyone have any takes on the Fitbit Ace LTE vs the devices listed on their approved devices list (https://www.waituntil8th.org/devices)?
I always loved pixelmator and they deserve it. 100% of it! Never greedy, ui and ux top notch and I never missed Photoshop once.
I’m of course a little scared of its future but I hope Apple will just integrate it inside the new OS updates.
Thank you Pixelmator team!!

If they lied for the polls, who's to say they are telling the truth now for this? It's just another poll...
You have expertise and I think you have a lot to contribute. But when someone speaks to me with contempt, dismissal, condescenion, I pretty much ignore the content of what they say, and I think that's true of anyone listening. The tone overwhelms the message. I don't find that I'm curious or try to understand, I just see you as, in a sense, an attacker.
It could be done. You do a first pass of a significant number of dentists, with people with confirmed healthy teeth, and then do a second pass on every dentist who recommends fillings. Caught scamming twice? License suspension. Repeat offender? Jail time. The odds of such a program putting an innocent dentist in jail gotta be near-nil.

There's no shortage of people who would damn-near volunteer for the work, given how many of us have had multiple run-ins with crooked dentists.

Even if it cost, say, $10k to catch each scumbag dentist, the ROI to society would be tremendous. Catch enough dentists in the space of a few months, apply appropriate consequences, and the whole culture will change.

That said, in reality the dentists would 'hire lobbyists' to kill anything like this.
I used to use Pixelmator when I was on a mac. Its great for what it does, but its much much more limited than photoshop. Frankly most people don't need Photoshop. The UI is intuitive enough. I'm on linux now but missed that "preview" app for format/size conversions.

(It has a fun mosaic tool that lets you take a bit of an image and tile it real time which is really fun).

>Adobe must not be stoked about this news

Probably any mac developer should be a little worried. Apple has a mixed history at best with these applications. They had a lightroom competitor (Apeture?) they just dropped out of the blue. (some photographers are still griping) The "final cut pro" upgrade made people start using adobe again. But apple seem to keep the music making stuff going.

Frankly adobe Shold actually port their stuff to linux. The "free" competition is getting good (Krita, Blender, Gimp...). I have a couple pieces I used Gimp to layer together going into a gallery next week. Frankly its different, but pretty good once you get used to the UI.
Thanks for reminding me about this gem! :)
As a Mac user, Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from the Windows ecosystem.
Im not opposed to direct measures. You could do observational studies looking at how frequently people litter when nobody is watching or surveys of how bad people feel littering is.

This would help you get a pulse of the comparative culture. That said, observing culture directly IS measurable.

You look at culture that leaves trash everywhere and that itself is a data point.
Looks like you only read the first paragraph of their comment.
All that being said, Holy shit, voyager. A nearly 50 year old robot in continuous operation, on its way out of the solar system into deep space. I would venture to say that this is an engineering accomplishment on par with the catch of the starship booster the other day.

It’s amazing to see both the half hour miracle of engineering and the half century one playing out at the same time. I just hope our accomplishments today will in some way be as durable as those of generations past.
If this paragraph is accurate:

"A ProPublica review of dozens of warranty cards from the 1970s through today found that some promised customers their information would be kept strictly confidential. Others said some information could be shared with third parties for marketing and sales. None of the cards informed buyers their details would be used by lobbyists and consultants to win elections."

then no law is needed. That's already going to be a civil offense, it's going to be one that can be moved to a class action lawsuit, and given the political nature of the target, you can rest assured that it will be a class action lawsuit from someone. It may also be criminal, which I don't know because guessing what is and is not "criminal" is pretty hard nowadays, but this is certainly a civil infraction given the text of that paragraph.

You might not hear about any results until 2026 or 2027, because that stuff is slow. But even if this wasn't already submarine PR on its own terms [1], it would be sufficient to spark a rush by class action law firms to find a representative client and get the suit filed before anyone else does.

If you don’t know vim, notepad++ is fast on big files and has syntax highlighting for many languages. But vim does both better.

Notepad++ is more windows in style with clipboard etc than base vim is.
Why not use symlinks (on Linux, not sure of the equivalent on Windows)?
Relatively uneventfully is doing a lot of heavy lifting there
Given that I'm in my thirties, I'm not exactly in the audience being discussed here. But I've become skilled at lying about politics to my small-town coworkers and my older relatives. Telling someone the truth means I respect them enough to take the risk.
That sounds like a really messed up set of incentives. These are Norwegians, they have a right by birth to live in Norway and do business with their countrymen, and their government is saying "go find another tribe to join, we don't want you." That's a really fucked up thing to do, kick people out of their nation because they are financially better off than the average just to improve the government's quarterly report on wealth inequality.
> and allow for overall modernisation / forking / maintenance that is needed.

Or, it allows for pointless churn, extra work, and breakage of apps that were still functional until someone yanked their dependencies. This kind of thing is why software rot is even a thing and people remarking that Win32 Is The Only Stable ABI on Linux ( https://blog.hiler.eu/win32-the-only-stable-abi/ ).
Anyone remember Siri Assistant...?
Executing random binaries off the internet is such an annoying "modern" thing. I do not want that, I want to build things from (open source) source.

You can whack Zed in the head by putting in ~/.config/zed/settings.json

"server_url": "https://disable-stupid-crap.zed.invalid",

And that stops it from doing a lot of this unwanted stuff. (Haven't tested this binary download bit yet.)

It also manages to break the `zed: extensions` page even for already-installed extensions. I sure feel like I'm being the product..
> even if abortion in that state were legal right up until birth. This isn't a miscarriage due to natural causes or some kind of accident but due to drug use.

First, in 2020 abortion was not a crime since it is pre-Dobbs.

Second, they don't know why she miscarried. They only assumed (as you've noted).

They simply got creative in the meth charges in an effort to push the "unborn baby" narrative over a "fetus". The fact that the woman was a minority and a criminal simply made it easier.

> Is the argument that the mother has absolutely no responsibility for the well-being of the fetus?

Not really, when it results in a miscarriage. There's just too many reasons that miscarriage can happen, and no real reason to prove why to anything resembling reasonable doubt. If the child had lived to be born and shown problems with meth during pregnancy, they would have been taken from the mother and put in the foster system.
Seems like a lot of existing models could be converted to this token parameter representation.
Or the other countries like the Philippines and Vietnam that dispute China's excessive maritime claims. That claim isn't really surprising in light of the rest of their comment which is essentially repeating the PRC creation myth.

Article is clearly one-sided — it mentions a “widely-panned ad” encouraging women to vote their conscience, where pretty much all the panning has come from Republicans.
> I still haven't found an app that's as good as Aperture used to be with my workflow in term of UX/convenience etc...

Me neither… I wanted to like Lightroom, which was the solution most of the community seemed to migrate to, but between the infuriating inconsistent UI and the predatory subscription model I did not use it for long. And now I have a Rube Goldberg thing that is janky and feels brittle.
I did my military service (25 years ago). After that I rarely wait more than 3 minutes to fall asleep.

Not many books get read that way unfortunately, I used to read a lot before that.

These days I do wake up at weird hours though, not sure what to do when I wake 4AM.
Or it could be that men perceive that their partners are more likely to get agitated over their political choice f it runs counter their own, compared to women who feel that their choice won't have such a big impact on their spouse.
Show HN: I made an interactive sentiment model comparison site
Hey HN, I needed to assess the state of sentiment models and couldn’t find a good way to compare them. I built this interactive site that lets you compare 12 models side by side, from Python libraries like NLTK Vader, to top performing models on HuggingFace, to commercial sentiment APIs and GPT4o.

This is a research project, there is no paywall - you can enter your own text (1) and get the results back immediately. The results are fascinating and we made it easy to explore not just the leaderboard, but where models get it wrong.

For example, most models (including AWS Comprehend) can’t get this positive sentiment:

"Food doesn’t get better than this. I was sad when I finished, actually sad. To die for." (2)

And yes, GPT4o is currently the best performing. It's crazy how many laboriously researched models are superseded by general purpose foundation models.

Let me know what you think?

I went to a dentist in Turkey, who helpfully suggested that instead of braces or veneers I could and should simply have 17 crowns installed. Not a typo.

Total cost would be under $6000.
never has been.
Do you consider the women that die because they were denied medical care to have been murdered, too?
it seems like you can just prevent this by providing incentives for your employees to not get poached, and also companies that mass-hire-mass-fire would get reputations for doing so, and people wouldn't fall for it. making it illegal instead of requiring businesses to actually pay for retention and loyalty in a free market way is so silly
Microsoft is not the bar for what's a good solution for open source Linux operating systems.
Yeah, even DNGs don't really work because as you say, the edits are application specific. My entire workflow converted everything to DNG for about 15 years but now I don't bother.

The thing that Lightroom really got right was not trying to mix all this stuff and organizing the master files well, so it was extremely clear where source material lived. I certainly don't want to root around thumbnails and previews in randomly-named folders.

Aperture's interface could have been great with some decent performance, and some of those decisions seemed to have survived with the iPhoto Library. Perhaps one big-ass ball of mud works fine for consumers with small file sizes and no archival strategy, but it's too prescriptive for me. If they brought Aperture back, and incorporated Photoshop-like features, that would be interesting and cool, so long as they left photo management alone.

The lesson I took a long time to learn was to not have the RAW processor import your files and instead get Photo Mechanic to do it instead, because it does a better job, and just use the RAW processor to process RAWs.

XMP/ITPC has been around longer than I've had a digital camera, do you know why Aperture didn't make use of those?
it's ridiculous how america is all about free markets except for the instances where rich people could lose money, then suddenly free markets are bad and evil
> I see English swear words everywhere online

With regard to online (and music, and movies): have you paid attention to the social register in which you're seeing them used?
Fair enough but if I'm running a small non-commercial conference, and can't get people together in person, not sure of the value of giving people a tag to upload YouTube videos and having some sort of real-time schedule given that they can do so with or without my help. My experience is that viewership of such conference presentations is very low. And people can always upload their own videos.
I wonder how big the cohort of users that turn on mildly interesting content to fall asleep to is?

How would a creator feel to find out most of their views are people falling asleep?
I do care, about the woman and prosecutorial misconduct that used her to push an agenda - to promote the idea of "unborn children".

She's a woman, belongs to a minority race, and a criminal. Yet I still believe she should have the same human rights as a white Christian man.
Could you explain how the interaction between the spatial autoencoder (ViT-based) and the latent diffusion backbone (DiT-based) enables both rapid response to real-time input and maintains temporal stability across long gameplay sequences? Specifically, how does dynamic noising integrate with these components to mitigate error compounding over time in an autoregressive setup?
If you search for papers on male vs female conformity, it's a pretty widely researched topic.
Your notes are quite wrong. Most regulations are not about not killing people with checks notes state-of-the-art-1970-technology.

This is even more true in zoning. There are much better ways to build homes possible, but not when a regulation is phrased in terms of distance between wooden stuffs, rather than safety and durability.

Economies of scale continue to mean that entrenched technologies get used.

Pilot licensing is especially onerous, where control systems allow flight to be a lot simpler, and a lot of very hard-to-fly technologies (like autogyros) can't be brought to mass scale not due to technology but simply due to regulation.

I'm Tucker, an industrious senior software engineer with 7+ years of experience as both an individual contributor and technical lead across non-profits, for-profit product development companies, and research labs.

I am a generalist with a very broad set of experience, with expertise in system's programming using strongly typed languages. I've done everything from bare-metal assembly code, to FPGA gateware, to Linux kernel modules, to Windows GUI work, to front-end web development. Very "T shaped".

I'm also a seasoned public speaker, having given talks at various conferences including NetworkX, prpl Summit, and SCTE Expo. Quite happy giving customer-facing demos, too.

My ideal role is where software is the product, and I can leverage my expertise in high-performance, resource-critical environments that value deep systems knowledge.

If you're looking for an industrious engineer who adapts quickly and delivers reliably, please reach out. :^)

(1) I applied for a job from $Company and never got a response.

(2) I don't believe $Company is really hiring.

I'm hearing both of these concerns from users. They overlap but aren't the same. Linking a job ad to the previous job ad addresses #2 but not #1.

... "near Cupertino" in population, not geographically. Okay, that makes much more sense.

It's not really a "suburb of Des Moines" - though eventually, as they grow, it may be considered that. It's 30 miles north of Des Moines, through an awful lot of rural Iowa. I'd consider a "suburb" to be "generally built up when traveling between A and B," though there's some flexibility in that definition. But Ames is its own place from Des Moines.
