djleni··on Perhaps it is a bad thing that the leading AI companies cannot control their AIs
That was an excellent read, thanks.
djleni··on The Twitter Files Part 2: Twitter's Secret Blacklists
Okay, so that gets us to “it seems that my account has been shadowbanned.”

Has someone compiled a dataset of users that appear to be shadowbanned, that tweet political content at least some of the time, as well as the political lean they have?

If it was done in secret how could you know it was abused to silence criticisms primarily from the right?
djleni··on Tesla Semi, a Deep Dive
I said this in the other comment but that’s exactly what I mean; this is an example of him not holding true to his word.
djleni··on Tesla Semi, a Deep Dive
Heh I think I wrote the comment in a bad way. This is what I meant; Elon said anything within the law and then just weeks in banned Kanye.

An example of is word not being worth much.

Free speech on Twitter means anything within the law
djleni··on Huawei phones automatically deleting videos of the protests?
That’s not a free speech or “cancelling” problem. That’s a privacy problem.
djleni··on Photography is not just about the camera
Does anyone have a resource they like for improving composition in photography?
djleni··on Why Tesla removed radar and ultrasonic sensors [video]
THANK YOU. Reading this thread was getting to me because so many comments say humans drive eyes only.

I use far more than just vision driving:

- sound, for emergency vehicles, detecting vehicles outside of my field of view if my windows are down or the vehicle is loud, tire sound (especially in snow and rain), engine sound (more feedback in snow or ice about what my tires are doing)

- touch (steering feedback, gives information about grip in some circumstances)

- acceleration (can feel if the rear tires break loose in a turn on snow or ice, or if I’m sliding while breaking)

And probably many more

djleni··on FBI testimony on hair analysis contained errors in 90% of cases (2015)
Maybe you know more about this than me, something that makes me uneasy about DNA evidence:

Say you can confirm a sample is 100% a certain person. How do investigators have any idea how it got there? How do you know it’s from a criminal and not the guy that stocked the convenience store shelves?

I tried to look into this and maybe I was searching the wrong thing but found nothing.

djleni··on Show HN: I made a new AI colorizer
Heh, a lot of the results are more visually appealing than the real landscape I shot in B&W.
djleni··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
Okay I mostly agree with that. It’s difficult to lose weight while not eating meat and maintaining a high protein diet.

But my point isn’t that, it’s that for an average person eating average calories it’s not difficult by any means to get enough protein.

To be fair though, plant based protein powder is about 700 calories for 150g of protein too :)

djleni··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
I guess if I’m being pedantic, sugar isn’t technically the same as carbs, but from a health perspective carbs aren’t much better. I’ll give you that. No one is going to be using using this stuff for a keto diet :)
djleni··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
Not at all. Just pointing out that 75g isn’t some breathtakingly large number to hit without meat.

A wheat bread PB&J hits about 23G of protein with 4TBSP of peanut butter.

White rice and tofu, the most boring meal I can think of already gets you to 14g or so.

Hitting 150g of protein is really difficult and arguably a gross way to eat if you’re just eating meat anyways. That’s over TWO POUNDS of ground beef.

djleni··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
Might be more than you need: https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speak...

But regardless, not hard to hit with legumes and soy and nuts and meat replacements like Impossible.

djleni··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
You can nearly hit 75g a day with PB&J sandwiches. That’s not exactly difficult.
djleni··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
> and plant based burgers have about 10g of sugar in it

Where are you getting this? Impossible’s nutrition facts state < 1g per serving.

djleni··on ‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US
> Getting adequate amounts of protein is incredibly important and is very hard to get that as a vegan/vegetarian.

Why do you believe this is the case? It really isn’t.

What do you consider “adequate” protein consumption?

djleni··on DALL-E 2 open source implementation
Software developer that knows nothing about ML: What would it take to mess around with this?

From a skim of the README it seems like install the package, and then find some training dataset, and then ??? to use it.

djleni··on An unsolicited streaming app spec
I can’t believe there isn’t a white label streaming SaaS yet.
djleni··on How credit cards make money
Charging less for cash is identical to charging more for credit, is it not?
djleni··on Are we on the road to civilisation collapse? (2019)
I think that’s a fair argument about the past, but the last 200 years are so incredibly different than the 6000 before them I don’t know that it will hold.
djleni··on How did the plain green lawn become the central landscaping feature in America?
Interesting, what’s the square footage/acreage? Maybe that’s the disconnect.
djleni··on How did the plain green lawn become the central landscaping feature in America?
There is no way xerisxaping should cost you $30k. I did mine for about $500 and if you mulch sufficiently weeds aren’t a big problem.
