> "Cultural appropriation" is a fancy way to say "I only want to learn from people just like me".

Cultural appropriation is learning about things only from people like you, not from the people outside your culture who created it and who may have jarring perspectives and expressions of them.

For example - just something I recently saw - lots of 1950s-60s rock musicians like Elvis and the Rolling Stones appropriated music from black musicians and cashed in on it with legions of white teens. The teens never heard the original musicians or music; they got sanitized, safe, and familiar forms of it - they never encountered much of the original culture or heard from the original people. Apparently some RS performances were note-for-note, vocal-riff-for-vocal-riff copies. (To be fair, the RS apparently often toured with some of the original musicians as opening acts.)
I'll second this, actually - $250 for a 12gb rtx 3060 is probably a better buy than $400 for 2xp40s for 16gb.

It'd been a minute since I checked refurb prices and $250 for the rtx 3060 12gb is a good price.

Easier on the rest of the system than a 2x card setup, and is probably a drop in replacement.
Ok, this conversation about social media has cropped up time and time again and things haven't improved but got even worse. I don't expect we'll be able solve this problem with discussions only, so much money is being poured in that any discussion is likely to be completely neglected. Not saying that we shouldn't discuss this but more action is needed. I think the tech sector needs to be stripped of political power as it got way too powerful and is interfering with everything else.
Perhaps I and my fox want to "belong" in general (to the community of life on earth) but they don't want to take on other people's baggage (belong to a community that excludes participation in other communities)

I have 41k photos in my Lightroom catalog, I’ve checked it out.

That doesn’t work when I want to use Capture One, Lightroom does not apply Phase One calibration profiles which makes it useless for them, or my own raw processor for Sinar digital backs.

Recommending the most common digital photo DAM/editor is not really a helpful comment either. The number of people who know what exif is and don’t know about Lightroom has to be…small.

> Understand the code you write. Understand the code you choose not to write. Understand the code that was there before you got there.

Yup. I have seen so many people write stuff that could just be a YAML script, tying together massive dependency trees that they have no clue about.

Then, they lose it, when things go pear-shaped.

However, if the goal is to sell the company before the chickens come home to roost, it's a feature, not a bug.
Cultural Appropriation is super often misused (as it was in this case), but does describe a real thing.

Just like how people complain that 'crypto' now only means cryptocurrency, or people complain that the new star wars movies 'killed their childhood' etc, having something that you have a strong connection to have its meaning distorted sucks.

Imagine if seeing a holy cross, the first thing you thought of wasn't the religious meaning but that it was the logo for some company.

One of many terms that got taken way out of context and abused by lots of people, some with good intentions and some not
I don't think that's correct. See the section in the article "Enumerating Employee Emails" which finishes "The jdoe@subaru.com (redacted) email was valid! We went back to the reset password endpoint and hit send."

It's probably not who you were talking about, but this account on YouTube does a good job of representing the visual experience, while also talking about other effects. The videos looking at nature, and the way the visuals start to form geometric patterns, and that "breathing" effect are powerful. The author covers various substances, and how the effects can be minor (slight "breathing" or pulsing of surfaces), to full geometric "worlds" (such as from DMT - although I've never dipped into that substance).

Ultimately responsibility lies with the people electing either judges directly or representatives who appoint judges. We must choose people of proper demeanor who will make sound decisions when required. It takes effort on our part to be knowledgeable and vocal, but it's the price for living in a world where we are not at the mercy of unfeeling automatons.

Related: I have a setup with a PC connected to my TV, it would be nice if there was some way to wake up my PC from sleep using a remote control of some kind. The best way I can think of is using wake-on-lan on another device like a raspberry pi. I could configure it to send the signal when it sees me push a button on my remote.

This doesn't feel very optimal though. Having a whole other device constantly running just to wake up my main device feels like a waste.

exactly! to the point that that music is now synonmous with Elvis and the original culture is lost.

I dont even think 'Cultural Appropriation' describes like, what we ought to do about that in any specific terms. maybe nothing. it more just identifies a problem

After many years of dealing with chat bots, I think we can all agree that we don't want chat-based interfaces to order our pizza (clicking buttons and scrolling through lists of options is way way faster). I can't think of many other things I'd like to accomplish by chat that I wouldn't want to do through a website or an app. My eyes bleed watching the AI crawl tediously slow to place a pizza order for me.

But… what if I told you that AI could generate an context-specific user interface on the fly to accomplish the specific task at hand. This way we don't have to deal with the random (and often hostile) user interfaces from random websites but still enjoy the convenience of it. I think this will be the future.

Saw a post that says they found the website via the "terrible orange site"?! Grumble grumble. /jk

In all seriousness though, this is great! And good timing too, such a community is needed now more than ever before. Does this website cater to otherkins too, or is that a separate concern (which is completely ok too)?

About the funding: are you basically just using lightweight services to keep the cost down, while paying for it out of pocket or with donations? Is there a contingency plan if -- touch wood -- you go rogue or shut down the app?
I've never used a McDonalds kiosk for the reason you gave. Actually, I think no matter how much you streamlined it with cutting edge AI assistants it would still be faster and more natural to just say "A big mac and a diet coke please" to the cashier. I don't see any end-user benefit to these assistants, the only ones who benefit are the bean counters and executives who will use them to do more layoffs and keep the money that saves to themselves.
I thought it was at least a good sign that /that/ was the "cynical marketing ploy" they felt was what people wanted to see, and which had the broadest appeal. Maybe it actually reflected, or at attempted to pander to, a broad cultural ideal. Now it's not.

"Per-Seat" Margin Is My Opportunity
You've shifted the goalposts from the comment I responded to.
I got a Zehus Halos [0] for my racing bike, a Commencal Stewart; I ripped out all of the gears and replaced the rear wheel with a wheel from Nfixed [1] who builds wheels with the Halos. Conversion couldn't have been easier -- just replace the rear wheel, take away the gears and replace the front blade. The result is an amazing bike, fun, easy, beautiful.

I still haven't pushed the range to the max, but with break regeneration and moderate assistance, it seems like the range would be 50-60 km, which is more than enough for me.

I highly recommend it!

Instead you ought to pay someone $15/hr to sit next to you. Anytime you're distracted by a website for more than five minutes, they punch you in the arm.

They also have to know they don't get paid if you manage to convince them to go away and leave you alone for a while.

From the article:

This video (back in the Flash days) is how I discovered the electronic group Shpongle. Their remix of Divine Moments of Truth is used in this animation.

You're missing the point. GP was mentioning the common assumption that all systems in the last 30 years are sector-atomic under power loss condition. Either the sector is fully written or fully not written. Optane was a rare counter example, where sector can become partially written, thus not sector-atomic.
Slack Overflow: How We Scaled Slack to Support 1000s of Developers
The TechCrunch article the OP linked above mentions this:

you need the advice of a medical professional, not HN.
In a college chemistry lab we would have to write lab reports of our work. The instructor made it very clear that he has never given 100% on a lab reports because there's always something to improve.

A one of my CS cohorts happened to be in the same class so we teamed up for the first lab project. It was pretty straightforward, we collected whatever information, and started working on our report. We didn't bother spending much time on it because we already knew we'd lose points for something or another.

When we got it back, there was a big, red "100" on top. We checked around and it did look like we were the only ones that got a perfect score, so we went to the instructor and, mostly jokingly, said, "What's up with this?" to which he stayed on beat and replied, "Do you want me to take another look?"

It's not hard to do good work, but you do have to make a habit of it. Re-read what you write, preferably out loud, to make sure it actually makes sense.

You'll still make errors and mistakes and you won't catch them all, but no one's going to care about a typo or two unless you draw attention to it with more glaring problems. And I think this is where metrics, especially things like code coverage, can actually be detrimental, because they bring attention to the wrong things.

Specifically, in places I've seen code coverage enforced, tests (written by consultants making x5-10 more than I do) tend to look like, `assert read_csv("foo,bar") == [["foo", "bar"]]` that execute enough of the function to satisfy the coverage requirements, but everyone is surprised when things break using a real CSV document.

The corollary of the author's trick is that if you keep making excuses to produce poor work, you may subconsciously decline instead.

I genuinely can't think up of something other than cooking up a solution using a helper process and a buffer to store messages, which is probably what you are doing anyways. Other than that, you're looking for an asynchronous IPC.

You’re in agreement with the parent comment; I lean furniture is comparatively easy to assemble.
Is there actually reason to believe costs will come down significantly? I've been under the impression that companies like OpenAI and Google have been selling this stuff at well below cost to drive adoption with the idea that over time efficiency improvements would make it possible, but that those improvements don't seem to be materializing, but I'm not particularly informed in this so I'd love to hear a more informed take.
> hadn’t started investing beyond just the normal mutual funds/bonds/etc

You'd be surprised how far you get ahead with S&P 500 + Treasury inflation adjusted securities.

It's really hard to beat S&P500. Most funds after fees don't beat it. If S&P500 goes to shit, inflation adjusted securities give you guaranteed returns.

The richest IMO people are those who live a modest lifestyle only from their interest, never having to touch the principle. Maximizing who and what they spend their time on.
Maybe you're just burnt out? If you can, try to take some time away from study, tech, distractions, and maybe even people. Get some mental distance from all of that, and all of the stress they bring.

I'll share my experience, too: I live near Glen Park and was in Bello that day, taking up one of those coveted seats, as all this was happening. I recall being aware of a lot of police cars outside, and perhaps seeing the phalanx around Ross as they walked past the window. Clearly something big was going on, but I stepped outside and the street was already back to normal. Shrug, perhaps I'll hear about it on the evening news. Not a peep. :-)

It was only some months & years later that I heard about Glen Park, the library, and Bello being part of the drama, and other local landmarks. To this day I keep hearing about other local details. (I learned a few months ago that his group house was on Monterey Blvd, not far from the conservatory).

Looking back, I had noticed a number of 'out-of-town' business people in Bello around that time. Glen Park is a busy local scene, but gets very few visitors, so they stuck out. Clean cut, business casual, but not FiDi types. They were cheerful but not interested in chatting. Who would go to a cafe and not want to socialize, I wondered? I thought perhaps realestate people.

I went to Bello frequently then, and must have seen Ross there a few times too, but I only vaguely recall once or twice. Something drew my attention to his laptop, maybe it had an EFF sticker on it? But he likewise didn't seem interested in conversation. I do recall once he was talking with an older man, in his 50's or early 60's, about libertarianism.
> that couldn’t have been in the training data

I'm curious, how do you know this? I'm not doubting, but is it falsifiable?

I also am not going to claim that LLMs only perform recall. They fit functions in a continuous manner. Even if the data is discrete. So they can do more. The question is more about how much more.

Another important point is that out of distribution doesn't mean "not in training". This is sometimes conflated, but if it were true then that's a test set lol. OOD means not belonging to the same distribution. Though that's a bit complicated, especially when dealing with high dimensional data
