Stuff marked [dead] on the first page of /newest right now:

- A Chrome extension for tracking dramas. It appears to have been re-submitted, as the link was previously shared just yesterday (and it was dead, too), but this particular author has a lot of dead links which seems peculiar.

- Questionnaire for a school project. I don't know what this is because it's a Google docs link and I'm not going to open it. But also because the submitter doesn't even bother mentioning what the "chosen subject" is. I don't really care much that this is dead.

- "Trillion Ton Iceberg, Worlds Largest, Crashes into South Georgia" a youtube video which is hardly a video since it's just a bunch of AI generated illustrations and appears to be fairly grandiose but low on actual sources and info. meh

- A link to a tweet from an account that "applies AI" to put your face on a ballerina animation. Yawn.

- Spam for a "IT solutions for healthcare" company.

- A link submitted by someone who has all dead submissions on their profile. Uhmm...

- Spam to a blog about AI, I guess.

All in all, I'm setting showdead back to no again.

P.S. Meanwhile, I counted about 5 or 6 links sent from newly created users which are there happily unflagged.

> People that never considered the value of artistic process

One certainly learns of crazy things on HackerNews. Apparently people have never considered the value of artistic process, and not only that, but you also happen know that exactly.

> the topic du jour unilaterally decided

You're literally in this thread disagreeing.

> it was inefficient, oppressive, complex, frivolous, and unfairly inaccessible

Very interesting claims, too bad they were only stated in your imagination. That being said, your imagination I think is surprisingly close to my opinions! Let's discuss each point:

- it is very time-intensive to produce creative works of any kind, and indeed to perform any kind of mental work at all

- it does get pretty complex too, and because of this, some mental efforts are even shot down for being too frivolous (such as that bit of automation that is not worth making because it would never pay itself off)

- oppressive is a bit of an odd one, but if I think hard enough, I guess I can see how having to use the output of e.g. my work (software) can be oppressive

- same for unfairly inaccessible - lately there's been a trend where various services would only be available online, and the only contact you'd get is a self-service form or two. Maaaybe you'd get an AI chatbot to chat with. Certainly, to those with minimal to no tech literacy, this will be inaccessible and it will feel unfair.

> was merely the natural progression of artistic praxis

If only there was a way to disagree with this without being a dickhead!

> these tools have democratized creativity

How does one democratize an innate property of people? Surely you mean that they have democratized the production of creative works rather, and even of those only the less high-art ones, which I'm sure you never fail to point out when shown one?

> they're now broadly available to anyone willing to pay money for a subscription service that will obviously soon be a hell of a lot more expensive, or shell out a few thousands dollars for a top-tier video card that you almost certainly already have in your gaming rig, anyway.

And what happens after that? Artists will be like "oh gee, well I'm not doing this again!"?

Comparing this with the war in Gaza is ignorance or just manipulation.
Gaza was (and actually, still is) a home to a murderous organization that terrorized not only Israelis, but also its own people for 20 years.

Gay men were thrown off the roofs to their deaths in Gaza shortly after Hamas took over violently, political opponents were brutally murdered.

Hell, whole families were burned on Oct 7th, to the chants of "Allah Akbar".

It blows my mind that people don't know that wars lead to casualties, even in the civilian side. I think that since it has been 2-3 generations without any serious conflict in the west, people are simply not familiar with the nature of war.

There's genocide, and there's war. Those are not the same.

Ignore the below, it is for a different "FOSS" discord replacement.

i did self-host it for a week to test it out - and honestly i was put off immediately.

What happens when you set it up according to the docs, is that it automatically "registers" for a license - the free license being limited to 5 users, even if you self host. Ridiculous, and just right out the gate shows me that whoever makes this does not have the user's best interest in mind.

the UI is also full of stuff that requires an expensive license, and i did not see an easy way to remove that stuff when self hosting.
It was in a small box, not just a DVD case. I still have mine, with Alyx Vance on the cover. I see there are big box versions on eBay, so that might have existed in some regions too.

Jordan has taken far more refugees relative to is size than Turkey and Germany. Its population of 11.5 million includes 1.4 million Syrian refugees, 300-400k Palestinian refugees still living in refugee camps (and at least 1.5 million who have gained citizenship), and 1+ million illegal immigrants. There were also ~1 million Iraqi refugees in the 2000s, but most of them eventually returned home. It's kind of surprising that the country is still mostly functional and stable, despite all this.

Egypt is kind of overpopulated. Most of the country is uninhabitable, and the Nile from Aswan to the Mediterranean is effectively a contiguous chain of settlements with a total of ~100 million people. The current administration also doesn't want to import Hamas, because they have enough trouble with the Muslim Brotherhood, which used to be the parent group of Hamas.

>There must be a better way to do interviews.

Interviews are a game of asymmetric information. The job seeker has much more knowledge of what they can and cannot effectively do than the job offerer. And the job offerer has much more knowledge of what is and is not required for true success than the job seeker.

Given that, no, there really doesn't have to be a better way than just "interview a lot of people and take your best guess". If you stop taking the time to do that you will eventually be outmaneuvered by someone who does.

Exam is interpolation.

Research is extrapolation.

Neural networks are interpolators, they are notoriously bad at extrapolation. For simple example, look at pendigits data set [1]. The test part of pendigits is taken from different "writers" than train part and neural networks aren't that good at it.

I 100% agree. When people say things like "You have to be on GitHub because that's where the community is" I don't know what to say. Who cares? Is it really that hard to log into (or not) a different Git server? Do we really want to encourage this idea of community anyway, at a scale larger than an individual project?

Having talked to a few Palestinias that live outside of Palestine, I know that they all have temporary statuses in the neighoboring countries (for example, those in Lebanon) and that doesn't give them much rights and it has lasted for decades already. Forcing the remaining people in Gaza to leave "temporarily" is first of all ethnic cleansing (forced displacement) and second of all it will be anything but temporary.

The same for Syrians in Turkey, they don't have a proper refugee status and have instead a secondary status that gives them fewer rights.

Here's some food for thought from me as well: why does anything that goes in and out of Gaza go through israel? Why don't other countries recognize the state of Palestine? Wouldn't that be a good step towards a two-state solution? (Even though I don't believe that would work, at least not without justice for the Palestinians).
How was my answer not also sincere? Because you don't like it?
Probably the pitchfork risk. Governments have gotten good at keeping safe distance from the point where things might get violent.

To some extent, though, I don't think you're meant to spend lots of time on each question struggling to figure it out as it's trying to determine what bits of the course you can skip, so if you can't answer a question relatively easily it's best to just say "Don't know" and move on so you get some revision during the course.

This is a great point where nationality does not reflect political values. Many Americans exist that do not carry the opinion of their government, as do many Russians.

If a global set of "Don't be an asshole" values could be defined, put into words, shared and progressed, it would have much greater value to a consumer and the world than merely going back to nationalism and protectionism.
The refugee status of Gazan and other palestinian has been strategically kept this way for generations.

Many peoples have suffered wars throughout history, were displaced and relocated in other countries.
Only the palestinians retain their refugee status even after living in surrounding arab countries like Lebanon, Syria for more than 3 generations.

There are more than 2 million arabs that remained in Israel and didn't flee during the 1948 wars, they are all full citizens now, in full contrast.

The only reason for keeping palestinians in a refugee status is to keep the conflict going until the eradication of the state of Israel.

> The biggest selling point of Discord is its insane network effects

True. As it also hits a local minimum in terms of user experience (to the point that the average user does not care), I don't think it is possible to make a new centralized (even self-hosted) alternative on technical merits alone, since you necessarily incur a cost in the form of signing up to every server.

The only hope is a decentralized alternative like Matrix which is enshittification-resistant. I actually think the server part of matrix is more or less ready for a good Discord-like client, but the client side is lacking.
