You might enjoy the NEC section on fire pump systems. It's a complete flip from the rest of NEC, requiring design around "Keep the fire pumps running at all costs, even if you're in the process of melting down the windings." Separate wiring conduits, handling full locked rotor current indefinitely, etc.

The logic, reasonably enough, is that if the fire pumps are running, you probably have way, way bigger problems that will be made worse if your fire pump system trips off to protect the wiring.
This problem is pretty solved in the Netherlands. https://www.thuisarts.nl is set up by the Dutch federation of General Practitioners and provides good, non-sensationalist information that is guaranteed to be vetted by the likes of the very doctor you'd normally visit (or by the people who train them, I presume - pretty sure if you look up a GP handbook you'll find almost the same text as on that site, only with more detail and with more complicated language).

>The Zuckerberg interview he did was probably the most important interview of the last few years,

You mean of all interviews done anywhere? Surely, that's hyperbole.

What exactly came out of that interview that's worth noting other than that Facebook throttled a Hunter Biden story (which we already knew had been done across social media platforms)
Yes, it’s certainly one of those books that leaves you both frustrated and awe-inspired. If you like Ambrose’s writing I highly recommend Crazy Horse and Custer.
Here is my perspective on these kinds of images. This kind of 'picture' usually comes from speed-painters who incorporate techniques like photobashing. As in integrating 3D models and RL photos into their composition, or just painting over a 3D picture entirely.

It was already a genre that highly incorporated computer assisted methods. There is a lot of doom and glooming going around, but honestly the modern process of creating 'concept art' was already extremely commodified and efficient. These weren't exactly your idealized vision of some artisan craftsman laboring weeks over a picture, they churned this stuff out in a few hours (if that)
I don't think there are actually major legal concerns. Copyright protects reproduction of a specific image. Looking at an image and producing something in a similar style is not copyright infringement, it's called being an artist. The law on this seems pretty clear.

The UK recently announced plans to make this completely explicit, to remove any remaining doubt:
"For text and data mining, we plan to introduce a new copyright and database exception which allows TDM for any purpose. Rights holders will still have safeguards to protect their content, including a requirement for lawful access."

You don't just paint a better version of the generated images, you look at a bunch of generated images, and get a better idea of what you want to paint from that.

Say you know you want to do a portrait of a woman in armor, you can generate a dozen of those in around a minute on a 3090, look at the generated armors, the faces (usually all sorts of screwed up), and the composition. Its just a way to kickstart the creation process.
Approach to additional username creation, most likely!
I agree. But I also think that meaningful work that provides value to your community and to yourself is something that provides some of the greatest satisfaction available to man. If you remove that ability by either automating someone's job or reducing it to a kitschy "artisan" label which implies that their work is now inefficient and flawed compared to the efficient automated way, you are taking away something important about the human experience that cannot be replaced by leisure activities.
I'm not sure requiring a new motherboard vs flashing a bios is consumer friendly, unless you assume the consumer is loaded and technically illiterate. If someone paid me $150 to flash a MB, I'd probably take that deal every time.
Personally I don't find it on-par or even close to DALL-E... stylistically its output is a lot more plain (Midjourney does really well here) and it can't handle complicated prompts well (it will pick the one thing in the prompt it does know about and run with it, ignoring all else)

Plus, there are huge gaps in training. Ask it to draw something simple, like "a penis" and you get nightmare fuel....
Wow, is that in the U.S.? We pay $0.089 which is almost 10x less in the Midwest. Either way I'll pick up solar when Biden's inflation reduction handouts come along lol.

I would argue that the technology will soon be at a point where these flaws are much less visible and will then further cheapen the work done by a human.
Removing the NSFW and watermark modules from the model will easily allow you to run it with 8 GB VRAM (usually takes around 6.9 GB for 512x512 generations).

With an RTX 3060, your average image generation time is going to be around 7-11 seconds if I recall correctly. This swings wildly based on how you adjust different settings, but I doubt you'll ever require more than 70 seconds to generate an image.

I imagine it would take some work, but wouldn't it be possible to get the orbit information from one of those open source hobby satellite tracker websites and program the camera to close its shutter during those passes (or have the camera hooked up to a computer that monitors the website and tell the camera to close its shutter)?
I have to share my story, because I read the comments here and the post and I fell into a similar trap about a year ago.

It all sounds good. Compact keyboard has always appealed to me, so did ergonomics, I bought a split keyboard (36 keys) with Miryoku layout and went to town. I lasted about 1 month and quit.

What happens is the amount of keys you have to type concurrently increases forcing your fingers in weird positions.

For example, typing the following 48 characters

if (needle in [a, b, c]) {
println('found it')
}

In a standard keyboard you have to press 53 key presses (parenthesis is Shift+9 so that's two keys for a single parenthesis etc)

In a Miroyoku layout it's 59 key presses. This might not sound like a lot but it's a ~10% increase.

It also doesn't account for a very big problem, arrow key navigation for non VIM users. Since pressing the arrow keys requires two button presses in smaller keyboards, and done repetitively it's a huge slow down in navigating text. Now there are solution to this, most IDEs can support VIM keybinds, or have their own hot keys to skip words etc. To me the arrow key navigation is what got to me long term and I opt4ed out of it.
?? They elected politicians which drove the price of electricity up and you think this is a "good thing"?
I'd tend to agree with this sentiment, since tin-foil hat pundits rarely understand the nature of research that is in the last decade, let alone the last month. Sort of sad really, but unfortunate nature of our news cycles.
Parens vs. Brackets in Clojure
You can limit the maximum boost clocks to reduce power draw and thermal dissipation. Some have reported that they have set this in the motherboard settings.

At any rate, this demonstrates how much more efficient the Zen 4 cores at lower power when compared to Zen 3. If you need high clock speed across cores, you won't gain as much of the efficiency, but the potential here for laptops based on Zen 4 is extremely promising. In those cases, chips are often configured for a maximum TDP between 15W and 65W depending on use case (though some high end workstations and gaming machines are set even higher.)
It is objectively less safe to use the web without an ad blocker.
That is correct. I had to generate confidence intervals on over 8000 univariate data sets using very small VMs, so I needed to limit large dependancies as much as I could. This package was the result of this!
Ask HN: Anyone get ISO Security Cert while relying heavily on Notion?
Our company uses Notion extensively. It is a replacement for Jira, Google Docs, and several other tools. Notion has been effectively adopted across the company and is an indispensable tool.

However, We were recently acquired by another company, and we now need to be ISO certified. Notion only has a SOC2, and our new security team says it's the worst SOC2 they have ever seen. They said it is not compliant with our ISO and we need to find alternatives.

Anyone here have experience going through an ISO cert while still relying on Notion? What are people's thoughts on Notion and security? Any recommended way to continue using Notion while mitigating security risks?
Perhaps you could narrow things down a bit by trying to figure out what key characteristics need to drive your design. I'm in aerospace. Some of the systems I stare at are designed pretty much exclusively based on safety considerations. Others are almost completely devoid of such considerations and more care is given to maintainability due to expected high rate of change, or requirements on throughput etc. Security is another joker with a high potential of impact on design. Also figure out what you consider to be "system design" as opposed to "software design".
They claim that being politically correct is not learned by children.

> they enforce "political correctness" of speech without being told

but then claims that they have learned the difference

> When I was a kid "gay" was one of our go-to pejoratives for almost anything uncool. With my kid's cohort, it's not acceptable because they don't think being gay is insulting.

Obviously they are different kids growing up in different times with different political climates that have learned a different political correctness but both have learned what is considered politically correct from society.

The point "So what are your kids pejoratives?" simply points out that the kids are not born with an inherent knowledge of pejoratives being harmful but have simply learned different pejoratives from their parents and society.
> Separation of concerns is not a rule to be applied blindly

A switch statement that only calls functions is almost like a state machine transition table (granted not a very good one).

Organizing conditional logic into a state machine is an excellent separation of concerns. The state machine becomes essentially an abstract model of your system that says what to do and when to do it, but not the low level details of how to do it.

The functions that define how to do it are the refinement of the model. You then have something thats directly mappable to TLA+, which you can use to model check your system.
Yeah it's fiction and stupidity
Git’s database internals II: commit history queries
Why is it meaningless? It tells you how long a clock cycle takes, and you can look up instructions per cycle for relevant calls. I admit the picture for what makes a fast CPU is highly application dependent and has a lot of variables to consider, but I don't think it's meaningless.
We do support publishers using an API directly, and running none of our code.

Our ad client is also open source, and pretty simple: https://github.com/readthedocs/ethical-ad-client -- we have publishers who use a published version with Subresource Integrity, but you can also just host the JS yourself if you want.
Pretty exiting stuff. It feels like there's a new cool model being trained every week, the probability that some of the upcoming ones won't have a huge impact on the world in the next few decades seems close to 0% to me.

I'm using the fork at https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion which is optimized for lower VRAM usage. My RTX 2070 (8 GB) takes about 90 seconds to generate a batch of 4 images.
Can you describe what you mean by that?
The PE format is used, and the cosmopolitan libc example was compiled for x64.

PE requires a single machine type to be specified, but these days there are support for hybrid binaries with the ARM64EC ABI (which follows x64 conventions and can include both x64 and ARM64 code) and fat binaries with the ARM64X ABI (can include both ARM64EC and ARM64 code).

Hmm, no, are you dang? Are you the link police? Fuck off, look at my history if you want, I'm trying to be helpful. I'm a happy customer of replicate, yes, but I also ordered a GPU to run on local... You say it's not relevant but actually I'm giving exactly the functionality that parent is asking, giving back a prompt without having to pay for it, that's what text2image does.

Also replicate links you to github, but in case you cannot run (not have a GPU at home) you can just run some free queries on it. What's to hate about that?

> These flaws would not exist (to such a degree) when a professional artist paints the same scene.

The flaws in AI generated art were 100x as obvious in systems like this only a few years ago. In 5 years I doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference between AI and human art.

When the photograph displaced most portrait painters, we invented a new type of artist - the photographer. I hope we’ll see the same thing here - artists who specialise in using stable diffusion (and friends) to make new art in a new way. This blog post is like one of the world’s first photographers saying “hey look how the photo changes when I move the subject relative to a light source!”. I can’t wait to see what results we get with deep expertise (and better algorithms).

How long before we have filmmakers using AI to cast, direct and shoot their films?
Making artists hyper productive will cheapen even further their output. If one artist can do the work that you are currently paying 8 to do, you only need to pay one artist that can wrangle these tools.

I would agree that this is like 20th century mass production. To be clear, I don't necessarily think that mass production is a good thing either. In fact, it has been probably the most detrimental thing to our environment that humans have ever done.
The 7700X is one 8-core CCD, which won't clock all cores as high as two 8-core CCDs with half the cores disabled.

Personally I think the trade-off in cross-CCD computation is worse than the slightly lower all-core clock for the kind of workloads that benefit most from 16 threads, but I could see the benefits of higher all-core clocks for desktop use cases like gaming.
I mean does studio Ghibli own the concept of the style of their art?

Interesting fact. France bought the patents of Daguerre (Daguerreotype was an early name for photograph) and gave it to the world for free.

"Arrangements were made for Daguerre's rights to be acquired by the French Government in exchange for lifetime pensions for himself and Niépce's son Isidore; then, on 19 August 1839, the French Government presented the invention as a gift from France "free to the world"

Can you imagine if a country did this today just for the glory of it?

Love this reply! Hopefully we can make the real world act like that idealized version in your post :)
I think you're not grasping the magnitude of the change. Creating even an average quality speed-painting requires tremendous amount of expertise in drawing, painting techniques, composition, lighting, perspective. It takes years of training.

These models let anyone achieve similar results in minutes. Without any prior learning. It is not even lowering the bar, it is literally dropping the bar to the ground.

Besides, stable diffusion is able to generate not only painterly scenery, but also photographic images that are almost indistinguishable from actual pictures (certainly helped by the fact images have a heavy digital look in our era).
All of these AI image-algorithm furnaces are ultimately powered by the raw material shoveled in by humans. If we stop providing the algorithms with unique material the capabilities will decrease.

Further, when you automate one portion of the work you still need the human brain to strategize and orchestrate at a higher level. Job opportunities have only increased as a result of this, not decreased.
Base clocks are largely irrelevant. These things will run way above or way above that clock speed when appropriate.

Furthermore, architecture determines what frequency can be achieved. Designers can choose to sacrifice IPC to increase frequency, or vice-versa. We could build a machine with ridiculously high IPC if you don't mind it running at 1 MHz.

I think it's fascinating, and at least to me completely unexpected, how good these image generation models are. What happens when we have a 42gb model, or a 4.2tb model?

For comparison, the human brain is estimated to have a (equivalent to a computer) capacity of about 2.5 petabytes [0].

I think I read in the past that the human mind holds memories in a picture like way, I wander if that's why these image based models are so incredible when compared to the text models.

Maybe we are in a new "Moore's Law" like period where the complexity and size of these models is going to double something like every 18 months. It's going to be fascinating what's possible in a few short years time, I fully expect to be continually surprised.

I'm looking forward to seeing a video model trained on 10 second clips, someone somewhere is working on it.

He sold out Madison Square Gardens and headlines along with Dave Chappelle. He's not one of the top comedians of all time in my opinion (Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock Louis CK, Bill Burr), but he is wildly successful for a comedian.

He was a state champion in Tae Kwon Do when he was younger and is a black belt in BJJ. He's very experienced in multiple types of martial arts. He doesn't compete because he's 54 years old but he still trains every day.
The issue is an ever smaller percentage of the population can be successful at ever more difficult opportunities that result from ever better automation.

Manual labor still exists, but it’s a vastly smaller percentage of overall jobs. Productivity and automation seem like the same thing on the surface. However, the argument for a long tail of creators in an ever more wealth society breaks down when AI can start writing niche romance novels not just barely coherent news articles etc.

In theory we might have ever more new types of jobs, but automation isn’t just getting better it’s also getting faster.

> and the issue with having to remove BIOS support can be solved by just telling motherboard manufacturers to spec larger for it so they have room for more.

I think I've read somewhere that the cause of that issue was that the SPI block on older AM4 CPUs can only address up to 16 megabytes of the SPI ROM chip. There's not much the motherboard manufacturers can do, when it's hardware on the CPU itself which does the reading directly from the ROM chip.
