If someone is an expert in their field or has a depth of experience, I'd prefer him to be challenged by someone with a similar level of expertise. Lex Fridman does this where he tries to challenge people but can't articulate it and ends up asking "can you steelman some criticisms to what you're doing". I get it, but if you can't really articulate an argument, just keep the person talking and you'll eventually learn more.

For instance, if you're talking to a Bitcoin developer and you ask them "what about the energy use", it's just a boring question that's been asked millions of times. You likely know the answer. I'd much rather they get in the weeds about some proposal or technical issue.
Now that Walmart has become amazon, what is the best online store for curated products?
This is by design. The downside to background pages is they consumed an entire page's worth of runtime resources (and depending on how they're set up, they may do that per foreground tab).

It's a headache early-era iOS developers are familiar with, but this move is basically Chrome team saying "We've watched the community try to implement responsible resource handling, and they suck at it, so we're taking some of their choices away so that the browser can manage resources for the user." Because battery matters.
> “I’ve been cycling in Manchester for the last 15 years and I’d say that in the last two years, I’ve noticed a definite decline not just in driving standards, but also an increase in aggression. Close passes. And not really giving a lot of consideration to cyclists,” she says.

I've also noticed this anecdotally in my own experience across the USA. Is it really just the pandemic fraying social norms and mental health? I haven't heard any convincing explanations of why this is happening, but it seems like I'm not the only person who feels this way. It could, of course, just be confirmation bias on my part. What do others think?
Target does this crap as well. When I search on these sites now I always check the box on items only fulfilled by the retailer. If there's no box like that, I won't shop there.
As an insider point of view, although it may not seem so, I am optimistic we’ll see a lot of changes in the near future.

The main reason is that there were many measures taken to make the government be a desirable employer and I am seeing many capable people entering the public service
This is very cool. I've been blown away from my dabbling with these text-to-image models, but I love the steps here to help it generate more what you're envisioning.

I'd love to follow this process to generate several that I have in mind to put up on my walls, but I keep running into the resolution limitation. You need a pretty high resolution to get a crisp image at a poster size. Is there a trick or a setting to get the models to output images suitable for posters?
In addition to what some others are saying here, they is often used as a singular gender neutral pronoun and not a specific pronoun that excludes the others.

I use singular they all the time, especially online where people are accounts and not people.
Agreed. My wife plays animal crossing, so I had stable diffusion do some animal crossing prompts and was blown away. This 4gb file understand how all the textures on the objects in this game should look. Then I turned around and was generating liches on thrones in the styles of the painting masters. This is absolutely mind blowing to me.
I mean, at the end of the day, it's just yet another symptom of how entitled these people feel to...well, anything. The message is:

"These are MY roads. How dare a cyclist force me to slow down for 10 seconds? I'm IMPORTANT! Don't you understand how valuable my time is, and how critical it is that I arrive at my destination without delay? Roads for me, but not for thee."

They act with the urgency of an ER doctor en route to saving lives. While going grocery shopping.

I suspect that people who hate cyclists may also hate other groups of people who are not like them, and may be politically aligned with a party that fosters and embraces fear-based tribalism. Just speculation, probably wrong...
I guess we know where the new market for all those Ethereum miners' GPUs will come from. I have always been sort of bear-ish on the trend towards throwing GPU power at neural nets and their descendants, but clearly there are amazing applications for this tech. I still think it's morally kinda wrong to copy an artist's style using an automated tool like this, but I guess we'll have to deal with that because there's no putting this genie back in the bottle.
I love this, there are so many interesting questions and challenges in the area of how humans will interact with AI. To me the correct model is to think of intelligence as a resource like compute as opposed to a personified computer, which opens up the opportunity for so many more applications.

An example is the recent text-inversion paper where they found a way to extract the embedding of a visual concept from several images. Or how Midjourney is able to somehow integrate their model with StableDiffusion to get the realism and control of SD but the aesthetics of Midjourney.

Basically, it seems like deep learning networks are a lot more composable and controllable than I would have expected, while still demonstrating really interesting features. There could be entirely novel neural net architectures with no analogue in the human brain that still do really interesting and useful things. It’s exciting to see what people are coming up with!
Yes they can, because then they not will not be "annoying ads" anymore, they become "relevant recommendations" as a coping mechanism.
The problem with UBI is Jevons paradox[1].

Just to illustrate what the problem is using an extreme example: Oh good, we made it so anyone can turn the whole of the earth's crust into paperclips with a push of a button in a fully automated way that doesn't require any human labor and the energy to do it is completely sustainable. Hmm... Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

I don't know about digital art, but centuries prior, traditional artist training followed the apprenticeship model just like any other trade at the time. Leonardo da Vinci walked this path.

You say 'look at the generated armors' etc. but this does not mention what you use to look with: the artist's eye.

People so quickly assume that access to these tools will make everyone an artist, but the raw output is so lacking in a voice and intentionality. If you supply the voice and intentionality through your iterative process and a hybrid visual/text language playing the generator like a violin… you're playing the generator like a violin.

Your artistic skills have been translated to a wholly new set of vocabularies, and it's your eye that is tested most. Can you see/imagine better than the next guy?
I considered qualifying “any” but decided it required no qualification. I don’t know how many examples are needed in the training data for a given artist to be able to reproduce that artist, but given how many obscure artists I have seen Dall-e and Stable Diffusion able to recognize, it must not require that many examples. And it’s still possible to fine tune a model with additional training if a new artist comes along or you want a bit more capability with a rare style.

So yeah ANY style, I’m pretty sure of it.
I use it to reach a team of ~20 gaming and chatting together. It works great, and even if we don't use all the features, on larger servers Ido not feel disoriented at all.
Hate to say it, but I used to have the job of testing on Firefox and (at least at the time) no, Chrome was the best.

The number of irritating little performance regressions we'd hit when doing anything interesting with the DOM in Firefox was notable (as in, we noted it in the bug-tracker ;) ). Broadly speaking, I began to assume Mozilla didn't have enough real-world integration tests back-stopping changes to their rendering engine.

I haven't tested in a few years so that information is stale.

As if windmills weren't enough of an eyesore already.

The value of windmills (yes I know they're wind turbines but I don't care, I'm calling them windmills) is very limited. Most of the places I've seen with lots of windmills really should be nuclear powered instead, but politicians get a lot of brownie points for windmills. They can be a good thing for rural areas or places with limited infrastructure, but the whole windmill thing is beating around the bush when it comes to a practical solution that also doesn't engage the carbon cycle.
Me too!

I've been doing this with the Walmart+ delivery service for $100 a year.
I even applied for their 5% cash back credit card. It saves me a good amount of time and money, and I am overall very happy with it.

If Walmart ever starts mixing 3rd party reseller crap with their "in-store" inventories, they will ruin a fantastic product and lose me as a customer.
Yeah and be able to attach items, no doubt. But I kind of just want it for the fun nature of it.
Architect, developer, tester, etc. are project roles that are inherent to software development.

The job title may say Staff Engineer, JavaScript Ninja, Principal Engineer, Senior Architect or any combination of the above, but in the end someone has to do the job.

When your company didn’t use the specific title of architect the role of architect was still distributed between different engineering levels. For example you had the role of X Engineer + Architect… this can work well if the project is mostly of technical nature and doesn’t require a lot of technical requirements elicitation, negotiation, synchronization and other people and organization focused work. Because if it does contain such work, you’ll be spending so much time in meetings that you won’t have time to write code any more.

Other companies assign the architect role to a specific person, or have multiple kinds of architects. An important duty of architects is alignment within and outside the organization and mediation between business and engineering.

In large-scale projects such work is especially important and can’t be done by someone with the title of developer, because they would probably get bored out of their mind and also not actually develop anything any more.

Neither of these approaches is wrong. I’ve worked with dev teams that expect to receive a design/spec that they will implement and at the other end of the spectrum with teams that love to design their own architecture. I will provide that spec for the former and I will make sure that their architecture remains cohesive with the platform architecture for the latter.

And it did happen to me that teams would insist on designing their own architecture and then create an over-engineered heap of code. Too bad for them, because they have to fix the bugs, but still ok for the platform, since all the interfaces and platform requirements mesh as they should.

Whatever level the architect is operating at, it’s crucial that they keep their technical skills sharp through building small prototypes, reading and analyzing code, code-review, etc. I can say from my own experience that whenever I neglected that, I started to become detached from the reality of the project and my decisions were poorer as my problem-solving approach became too abstract.

This requires control where people house and the ability to remove people who do not follow the law. This is not water management infrastructure this is social infrastructure.

They would populate on their own if were able to move freely. The volume of people displaced however would end up in the "imperial core" and apparently we can't have that
With wind power killing 20,000 birds a year, and fossil fuel extraction killing 14,000,000 in the same time period... does it matter? I mean, paint the turbines or whatever, but it's hard to care about sweeping the porch when the house is on fire.

I’ve never been a fan of Walmart, but I bought from them after getting frustrated by Amazon’s sea of questionable products. Even though I bought a new, “sold by Walmart” item (i.e. not from a marketplace seller), I received an unopened Amazon return that was shipped from an Amazon fulfillment center (complete with someone’s return slip that included their name and address).

If thats the case, that only the language will be open-sourced, not the visualization, then I'm not entirely sure what that really gets you, beyond perhaps alternative editors?

Well, a house brand isn't made by the company.

The retail company has people called 'sourcers' who find other companies that sell a product, test those companies can handle the retailer's scale and the product meets quality standards, and then sets up a white label agreement.
>that's quite a screed you wrote there. you must feel very strongly about it. amazon has made the choice to exclude ISIS flags, and exact copies of nazi flags, so it's curious why one is allowed and not the other.

Which is their prerogative. And fine with me. Not that I have any say in the matter.

As for whether I "feel very strongly" about such things, that's not so relevant, IMHO.

What is relevant is that morality is not a team sport. It's individuals making moral choices. Whether we agree or disagree with those choices is also an individual thing.

>your position seems to be from the free-market/libertarian angle that people can print and publish anything they want, sure, okay, whatever... the logical conclusion of this in the free market is that amazon as a private entity is also able to pick and choose what products they choose to sell and associate with their brand name.

That's not how I would phrase it, but essentially correct.
I'm obviously not listening in on every private conversation, but my kids have shown me group texts of kids chatting with kids in private and they don't let other kids get away with exclusionary language. They still curse with the same sort of f-bombs and such that have been used forever.

Ironically, the biggest rebellion language I see is an inordinate number of kids who opt for gender neutral pronouns (they/them). It's not really an expression of being nonbinary as much as it's a statement that they don't want to be told or expected to be a certain way and they'll pick a gender and orientation on their terms when they're good and ready.
Supporting multiple versions adds a huge burden, for sure, but I'm not sure it's bigger for a configuration UI or webpage than it is for any other application that has some kind of backend or data shared across the versions.
It's why I keep falling back to excalidraw over tools like mermaid with auto-layout. When I need to communicate an idea, often I really need to fuss with layout in order to get my point across, and having the control to drag things around is the only way to get there.

Dell replaces swollen batteries on our whole fleet, even nearly 3 years into the “Pro support” warranty. Happens to about 1% of our machines over a 3-4 year lifetime.

That's nothing compared to what worse things could actually be happening. There doesn't seem to be any quality control or authenticity verification on any of these marketplaces including Amazon. Good case scenario the item you buy is a high quality fake. Worst case scenario it's a low quality fake.
