Cybernetic Vermin posted:in fact what specifically made me post that is how stupidly reductive to the engineering effort it is to do "well, obviously it is great thanks to open source" I can think of one instance where the Linux kernel being open source allowed a company to "optimize it down to the hardware level" and Android probably has 1000-2000 people working on it. For some value of "works great" that is.

The duality of hn, going to come back in a day and see which comment "won". Uber and Amazon use AI to pay people different wages for the same work (businessinsider.com) egypturnash 42 minutes ago | This article is making a very compelling argument for unions. Wow. This is cartoonishly evil. charcircuit 47 minutes ago | It makes sense. Why pay someone $20 for a job they would have done for $10. There needs to be some logic to guess what this value is so AI would be useful. Trying to make this illegal would make the economy less efficient than it could be.

dustedcodes 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] > Musk buying/poisoning/killing Twitter Well, Twitter has not been killed yet, actually I think it's been quite remarkable how Twitter has had relatively little issues (bar a few which had been quickly resolved) and was even able to roll out new features and test how the community reacted to them after reducing the workforce by so much. Poisoning? What does that mean? The only thing I noticed is that Twitter doesn't suppress balanced debate anymore. If you were hoping that Twitter remains a far left echo chamber then I guess poisoning is the right term but I thought it became more balanced again. I always found myself disenfrenchised by Twitter before. I'm not a right wing American. I'm a European who hates guns, thinks climate change is the biggest problem we have, has mostly turned Vegetarian and supports the strikes and the workers strikes in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. That would make me very left, but then equally I also believe that some controversial topics were not debated enough, especially around safe spaces for women and I also mistrust our mainstream media, I think that during COVID honest debate was suppressed by our governments and media and the same is happening now with the war in the Ukraine. I support the Ukraine, but I am also aware that not everything we are being told is true and there is a massive propaganda machine going on to get the Western population in support of this awful war and now nobody is allowed to mention that anymore. You can see I have a very varied and wide range of independen beliefs and I really felt like that under the previous leadership of Twitter independent thinking and critical thinking was taboo and I would have been thrown into the same category as extreme far right Trump supporters who stormed the Capital, when in fact I am very far away from them in my personal belief system, but the extreme left wing Twitter echo chamber didn't allow people like myself to remain curious. I like the new Twitter if I'm honest. It feels more honest. reply

that might just be shaggar dustedcodes 27 days ago | parent | context | prev | next [–] | on: Cyclists now outnumber motorists in City of London I really dislike cars in cities, but equally I dislike cyclists and cycling myself for the following reasons: > do not have to worry about car maintenance, parking tickets or theft; Not sure where bicycle theft is not a thing, I've not encountered this, even in Vienna, one of the safest cities in the world. You still need to lock your bicycle safely. > you will not kill someone if you ride after a night drinking; In London I see plenty of irresponsible cyclists badly harming pedestrians. > amazing when the weather is great; Or you end up drenched in sweat wherever you go. Personally I hate cycling for that reason as a way of commute in the city. Other reasons why I hate cycling and cyclists: - Uneven roads, pot holes, getting splashed by cars who drive through puddles - Inflexibility. You go somewhere, meet someone or your group of friends now spontaneously decide to move on to a different place and you'll be the loner who has to split from the group and meet them later again or you have to abandon your bicycle and get back the next day to pick it up. Sod that. - Helmets. I can't stand helmet hair. Also how loving annoying is it to have to carry your helmet everywhere even after parking your bicycle. - Dirty clothes. You always end up with muddy splashes on your trousers. If you cycle then better not wear nice shoes or light trousers, which again limits where/when you can effectively use a bicycle as a way of commute. - Male genitalia. Cyclists completely kill off their male reproductive parts. If you cycle your whole life for daily commuting to places then you'll certainly end up with fertility issues and probably require assistance to get erected in older age. No thank you lol. Cycling is hugely overrated and I can't find anything nice about it to be honest. I rather have cities be transformed into amazing public transport systems so that I can go to places without a stupid castration apparatus.

ptsneves 2 hours ago | next [–] Byzantine history is so important to understand the modern world. It gives us the context for the orthodox/west divide; it gives us an example of a economic and intellectual superpower needing to live with the realities of barbarian neighbors, and being destroyed! It shows us great statecraft lasting a thousand years. It even shows us why generals and senior civil servants were eunuchs and how the next best thing was celibate people. This is the reason why catholic priests should be celibate and therefore the answer against nepotist corruption. We all know how nepotism is a serious issue in states everywhere in the world. I became a fan of the Byzantines and seriously found team Roman Catholic to be a bunch of barbarians. I say team Roman Catholic because this small book[1] makes Byzantine history and trivia so humorous. [1] https://global.oup.com/academic/product/a-cabinet-of-byzanti... reply

londons_explore 4 hours ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] Isolating your country language-wise does have some benefits. For example, it tends to create cultural unity and prevents parts of your country breaking off and joining a neighbouring country. For example, in the USA, the english vs spanish divide pretty much aligns with the US/mexico border. If both countries used the same language, the border could be more easily moved by groups friendly to one government over another. The effect could be strengthened by requiring english/spanish tests at the border, and preventing teaching in the 'wrong' language. It can also prevent emigration of the smartest people. reply

In reply to this video about painstakingly recreating a pixel art image from a photograph of it being displayed on a CRT monitor: VikingCoder 2 hours ago | parent | context | favorite | on: Four-Byte Burger [video] I absolutely love this. However... I was wishing the recreation had been done in software rather than in Photoshop. I was hoping that some clever image processing would result in a Github Repository of a program that could take any photograph of a pixel image, and reproduce the original pixels. Handling all of the distortions along the way... reply  I would have just written software to do that instead, bing bong so simple.

Oh man, that reminds me, I saw Zizek at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He schniffed, then tugged on his "I would prefer not to" shirt and said, “My God, like you’re doing now and scho on?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and schniffing as if he were on cocaine and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen hot dogs in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the hot dogs and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence and scho on and scho on,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each frankfurter and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
