Not exactly. If you're using the word "simply" you probably don't quite understand what exactly DALL-E is doing. It's not just mapping correlations between words to pixels. The intermediate representations and textual attention are what make DALL-E interesting.
You may find some examples in the forum and wiki, but they are community-(un)maintained. There's no guarantees that everything will work and be up-to-date with the most recent versions of the engine (I have not maintained mine, for once). A lot of people are attracted by the minimalism and the DIY approach, but I understand that's not for everyone.

If you are looking for a more "batteries included" approach, then probably Unity (with its plugins on the Asset store) would probably be a better fit.

Here's one for you. Buy iBonds from treasury.gov now! Think of it as a risk free savings account that pays almost 10%[0] at the moment since it tracks inflation which is currently high. If you need the money back you just forfeit the last 3 months interest.

If you have a business open an account for that entity as well, get one for your spouse, get one for your child, then spread the word. Note the limit is $10k per year.

A year and a half is too long to launch an MVP. If you can't do it within 3-4 months tops, you shouldn't do it (again, I'm talking about an MVP).

Self doubt creeps in when you work on something, perfecting it, but never shipping. The voice of doubt grows louder and louder because now there's more at stake.

For myself, the products that worked were the ones I shipped within < 1 month, and got a lot of user feedback and kept making the products better and better throughout the years.

1. The stack-smashing pattern is simple, straightforward and sure to be used often. Other ways to smash the stack require some more "effort"...

2. It's not just _you_ who can smash the stack. It's the fact that anyone who calls your function will smash the stack if they pass some large numeric value.

I bought a pair of studio monitors from Amazon. I received one. Returned it. It took months to get a refund. Amazon claimed I needed to return the other monitor :/ I finally convinced them by pointing out that the weight of what they shipped me could in no way be two monitors. You would think their system would have such basic logic to catch this at shipping, it knows the product weight and it knows the weight of my package.

I had a gap of five years between using Amazon or any tech. The difference between Amazon's prior usability and stepping into it five years later was jarring. Like I seriously thought I was just no longer capable of using websites. Turns out, nope, Amazon's shopping site is now a zombie be exploited for some other purpose that is different from why I use it.
Use twitter long enough and it's hard to not be convinced that p-zombies exist - it may be that such zombies are ephemeral though, and a transitory state of some individuals.

I guess my question then becomes two-fold: (1) what makes Fox News less official? And (2) why does there seem to be the implication that truth is determined by amount of authority? I.E. when looking for news, why would "non-official" automatically, without any other analysis or evidence, be considered "more true"?

In the end, who says something only matters like... 1% at best. If you're looking for truth, then critically analyze the claims and the evidence they do or don't have, don't put so much stock in the claimants nor how much you want to agree with the claims.

And you force China, Russia and India into that big hydrogen market how exactly? I like hydrogen, but your argument is incoherent.
Not defined as part of the standard, but before compilers got as smart about their optimizations, it was easier to have behavior that was technically undefined but could be reasoned about in practice.

Now that compilers know cleverer optimizations, undefined behavior is often impossible to reason about because the compiler can change your logic into something else that is more optimal and is equivalent to your logic only in well-defined cases.
> When people talk about the "reliability" of EVs, I think that a hugely-overlooked aspect is the reliability of the supply chain (including engineering, design, and component supply). It's all very well having a fantastic design for a zero-emissions, comfortable, fast and efficient family vehicle, but it's not much use if it can't be made.

This argument is only being made because widespread EV adoption is a new phenomenon and they are still a fraction of the market of ICE cars.

We could flip the tables around. Modern car engines are highly precise machines. If we were just starting to make them, they too would have enormous supply chain problems. Only a couple of companies would realistically be able to produce the components with the required tolerances and lifespan.

Once most cars on the road are EVs, we'll have plenty of suppliers.

And yes, EVs _are_ reliable. Orders of magnitude less components and even fewer moving parts. ICE vehicles require a whole chain supplying more stuff all the time, even for vehicles already on the road.

Oh, and don't get started on battery materials. We too thought that our oil reserves were not able to satisfy the demand of so many cars (not to mention other industries). We found new reserves and some that were not economically feasible became available, as technology (and demand) improved.

Big Oil lobbies government hard to not price in externalities (carbon tax).

Therefore diesel is cheaper than it might be under a carbon tax. Truck manufacturers optimise max length & volume, so flat front and back, rather than diesel efficiency.

I'm not sure how someone who hasn't had that experience would elaborate on it. The point is that not everyone makes money on these posts. The way the question was worded indicates that those who didn't make money are still welcome to answer.

The fact that it (at least at the time) was the only response about not making money does add to the conversation, as prior to that the conversation was very one sided. So all you're really hearing is how some people made money, but it's not accurately representing how many people do or don't make money on here. I would like to see responses by other normal devs saying they did or did not make money on here since that can give insight into the assumption to determine what kinds of people benefit. Or perhaps I'm looking for too deep of a discussion?
Thanks for the great question. We support ~14 languages at the moment and are working on adding more. You can visit our tracks page (https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks) to see the courses available against each language.

As a 2-person team, we're prioritising making a complete experience for Go, Python & JS for starters (our most popular languages).

So far, our tests are language agnostic. Our testers are written in Go (they’re open source, example: https://github.com/codecrafters-io/redis-tester). The testers interact with user code by testing for observable behaviour - exit codes, stdout/stderr, files written etc.

Although the testers are language-agnostic, a lot of the educational “content” is language-specific. We emit language-specific hints in stages where appropriate, and have expert solutions that are language-specific. A lot of this is new, so we might not have coverage across all challenges - this will improve over time.

Does that help explain our setup a little better?

IIRC it tracks at inflation which can run down to zero just as quickly as it can run up. That said, I seem to remember that you’re only penalized three months’ interest after year one so it’s not a crippling flaw.
GraphQL Optimization: Deduplication and Reuse
I was thinking about this yesterday. We should probably start allowing active aerodynamics in racing, especially electric racing like Formula E.

Active aerodynamics are under-utilized. We start to see them, but they could be used much more, as break or turn assist, etc.

Imagine a car with retractable wheels. Only have a couple (or single) "bike" (narrow) wheel(s) for propulsion at highway speed, rely on aerodynamic controls for the rest, and on lift if necessary. Deploy aerobrakes and lower both the body and wheels in case of an emergency braking.

Such a system would be much more complex, but it could probably be engineered to be as safe as current cars (with aditionnal self- checks, attention to failure modes, etc).

I am not sure how much energy could be saved, but it's probably substantial. Plus people would finally have their "flying" cars (make them jump over detected obstacles too!).

There probably are some low-hanging fruits too, like deployable wheel covers for people who do not want to sacrifice low-speed aesthetics.
You may not know what material the muffler is made of, but you know its made of a material. You "care about the objects themselves" in the sense of having this framework of objects, all of which have certain properties and relations to each other which form a predictive model you have about the world. You expect everything to have a position in x,y,z, to have a size, shape, mass, hardness etc. You might not care about a particular property of a particular object in a particular context, but you fundamentally think in the semantics of objects. You know what to expect when the heavy hard object meets the brittle lite object.

DallE doesn't really have a system of the semantics of objects. It doesn't know why it would be useless for a building to have all the doors on the 2nd level. Its not even clear that DallE makes use of discrete "objects" in its limited understanding.

Here's an example from budget DallE

It understood the shape of "stick figure" and "boobs", but had no understanding of what a stick figure is meant to represent and thus where it should place the boobs. The results are hilarious.

I buy probably 10 things on amazon a month, none of which I can identify as counterfeit. purchases end up in 3 categories: an item so cheap and generic every version of the product was going to come from the same warehouse in china anyways, amazon basics products, and expensive name brand goods. looking through my past 5 pages of orders, I see an aeropress, old spice deoderant, an ipad magic keyboard, and "genuine hd600 earpad replacement". I guess maybe the latter could be seen as counterfeit and undersirable? there's no perceivable problem in quality with any of these.

i get the feeling that people with this mentality don't even try to help themselves. the refund process at amazon takes at most 5minutes. I've had a couple dozen refunds over the years with 0 questions asked, for items upwards of $500.

maybe such refund policies are geography based, so service is perceived as awful in these locations?
I was excited to try the Clojure track, as I have been planning on learning Clojure soon but couldn't get it to work. I attempted to start the free trial a few times and was redirected to the Go or Redis track repeatedly. So couldn't try it really.
Image search has a recall problem. This is obvious if you search for a specific photo.

I have a photo of my daughter as a toddler wearing a red vest or coat that reads, “Coca-Cola Security Forces” (She was a child soldier in the Cola Wars. Thank her for her service.) I can not search for that photo. I know the picture was taken at my house, but only vaguely when. If I search for her name and location, I’ll get thousands of photos. If I add some years, I get fewer, but not necessarily the one I’m looking for. Add some content descriptors like “red vest” or “red coat”, it’s totally random. Search for the words on the coat? Lol. That’s not indexed. If I breakdown and scroll through the list of thousands of photos, it’s not there.

Why isn’t it there? I have no idea. Maybe it’s not facially tagged? Maybe it just ranked low in some algo? No clue. No way even to figure it out. I have to resort scrolling through every photo for the date range to find it.

It sucks.

Electrified freight rail has prevailed in Europe, but mostly because the European rail system is optimized for passenger travel which favors faster and shorter electric trains. America freight trains are several times longer than European freight trains, use double stacked containers (which don't fit under the wires Europe uses) and run slower. This makes them disruptive to passenger rail, but also more efficient. As a consequence of these factors, America moves a much greater percentage of its total freight tonnage by rail than Europe, which relies more on trucks.

So in short, electric freight trains are not 'disruptive'; they don't compete with diesel freight trains unless you have enough political pressure to prioritize passenger trains above diesel freight trains.

This is a really cool idea! I may check this out.

One concern I have is that it looks like you're having people rebuild Unix command line tools. Tools which have a tendency to look at the world in one particular way. Unfortunately, that way is not very good to users. I'm really concerned about how many different programming courses, from boot camps to graduate level CS courses, push this narrow view of programming. I'd like to see some more variety in the ways that programming is taught. Have you considered bringing in projects that have graphical user interfaces or that use different paradigms than those espoused by Unix?

Your argument sort of imploded on itself…your claim that only a file can be considered tape is insane because memory is just as usable as tape and you can keep extending memory available to you using sbrk() . If you’re going to claim the memory is finite, well so are files. (Also lseek is not part of any C spec)

And yes neither is infinite, so every computer is just a DFA, and lseek changes nothing. But given the amount of memory that exists we approximate and say they are Turing machines since there is enough memory to do most what we need.
> You can’t guarantee that you can check them, and that’s the problem.

Understood. I misread your mention of "checking" as meaning for an organization which wants to deploy a TUI internally, where they can check all of the supported terminals.

> That is, you are unlikely to be able to check the colours on the very environments where you most need to.

Which terminals are these? Do modern TUI developers need to support them? Or can they be ignored like how most modern web developers ignore IE 4 support?

That's why I keep asking you which terminals you refer to. Experience from 30 years ago may no longer be relevant.

DALL-E either doesn't generate images you want to see, or if it does, it does a bad job, because it generates many images you don't want to see.

In other words, the claim you've set up is basically unfalsifiable, given that thre's no way to form strong counterevidence from its outputs. (I would argue that if there was, we'd already have it in the vast majority of outputs that aren't images people want.)

If I were to refine what you're saying, is that DALL-E is constrained to generating images that make sense to the human visual system in a coherent way. This constraint is a far cry from what you need to be able to lift it up to claim it is "bullshitting" though, since this constraint is at a very low level in terms of constraining outputs.

> Apple hasn't been anti-ad (though their products have way fewer ads than the competition.)

You don't have to see ads. There have been and still are operating systems with no ads, and Apple is absolutely swimming in cash. There is no necessity here— Apple is not integrating ads because they 'have to', and we don't 'have to' see them because we don't have to use operating systems that integrate ads.

The resignation here just kills me.
