Hey, was the specific Stable Diffusion version used to generate each image recorded anywhere in the dataset?

In krea.ai, it doesn't say which version of the model was used to generate each image

It appears that later versions are better in generating faces or something. Like, Stable Diffusion 1.5 vs 1.4 (I'm not sure but there's a great variability nonetheless and I wanted to know if the version of the model accounted for this)
It’s helpful if you can read English but the code is difficult to understand. Most explanations of code are more verbose than the code they’re explaining because code is usually pretty terse compared to natural language.

You can think of “too long” referring to the time it might take someone to reason out a particularly terse, dense line of code verse the actual length of the code.

Google shows me ads that tell me to put coke in my fuel tank and forks in mains electricity sockets. Who knows why, I never click. And the reporting functionality is deliberately obstructive (if you can make Street View you can let me flag an illegal ad).

But at this point Google can’t pretend that they don’t know what they’re profiting from.

Which brings me back. Why isn't a practically all-powerful government asking you to abridge otherwise protected speech not considered illegal for the same reason?

LMFAO...yeah, you could say the same about Heroin. And Heroin is actually damaging to users.

So it translates the code into COBOL. That's awesome.
It's important to note that in the method of weight loss discussed here, you don't have to lose a single atom from your own body, but your weight can go down by an almost arbitrary amount. For example, Yuri Gagarin had his weight reduced to almost 0kg, together with his rocket, while not losing a single atom (talking about the indie of the cabin, of course).

It takes a lot of effort, but you don't have to feel hungry, and the results will beat exercise by orders of magnitude in terms of pure weight loss!

Epic is also just cheaper than steam for developers. Yes, they pay for exclusivity deals, but the developers don't mind much because they're getting an extra 10% of revenue. They'd prefer users migrate to the epic store. I wouldn't say that having a better revenue share is "bribing", but maybe their plan was to go up to the 30% rate once they became popular.
Free42 now has an infinite stack, which makes the 42 much better (I hate 4 level stacks)

I don't think that epicureanideal was asserting that the Holocaust and the Nazi party in general was overlooked--merely that its coverage is perfunctory, glancing at immediate cause and effect rather than the deeper patterns behind it. I, too, am leary of over-emphasizing German atrocities surrounding WII--heinous though they may have been, there is no paucity of savagery in world history; however, I feel as though your reply is, frankly, a very bad faith reading of what bombcar posted.

He appears to be surmising that we're becoming very impulsive in quashing whatever thought appears to impede our immediate policy goals--not that it is the Holocaust in and of itself that is special. (He even goes through the effort of explicitly highlighting it as entirely feasible for a populace to fall to!)

> What's the difference between Sony requiring you to buy headphones together with the tape player, or Android requiring Google to be the default search?

Because of the tying of third-parties, I don't think that this is an equivalent comparison. This is more like going into the record store (since we're going back to the 80s with our Walkman) and finding that you think the Walkman comes with garbage headphones. So you pick up a Panasonic player and the headphones you want. Then you pick up a couple of tapes that you wanted to listen to, get to the counter, and the store owner explains that those albums are on the BMG label, so he can't sell them to you. In fact, he can't sell any Sony Music group cassettes unless you own those shitty Sony headphones, because if he does, Sony Music won't let him sell any more Sony Music albums in his store.
in krea.ai you can create collections of images with their prompts by pressing the "+" button in an image.

you also have access to all the different components that create each prompt, and you can search similar ones by clicking them.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm gonna keep digging into optimization strategies! :)
The meaning of punning memory is obvious if you understand the implementation-specific representations being used. E.g. if you understand what a 64 bit double looks like and what a 64 bit integer looks like, then it makes sense when you look at the memory of one through the type of the other. The C or C++ program to it has only two rationally defensible meanings: "undefined behavior" (ISO C or C++ interpretation, allowing certain optimizations, or run-time diagnosis of a type mismatch or whatever) or else "do the obvious thing and access the bits like the code says". What the code is asking for can certainly be be framed in terms of concepts in the standard. Just what the code is obviously requesting is not granted by any requirements in the standard. The idea that by asking for it, it's not a C++ program any more is silly.

There is no standardized programming language that doesn't have vendor specific extensions comprising a local dialect.
You only know that you were slightly hungry most of the time. For you, meals were the highlight of your day.

But you didn't need to go hungry. Folks lose weight by caloric restriction and fill up on a lot of fruits and (non-starchy) vegetables. Some folks have luck with legumes and beans and filling foods. Some folks snack and don't have meals.

And the experience of hunger changes, too! Sometimes, in the same person and definitely between folks.

Examples: I used to smoke. Nicotine is an excellent appetite suppressant, and honestly made it easier to lose weight.

High stress can make me lose most of my appetite or do the opposite.

I menstruate. A few days each month, I have indescribable hunger. It is hormone driven, and unlike other hungers I've experienced. Suddenly, I feel like I've skipped meals. It consumes me. I can't do anything about it, but if I eat a little, I can go back to paying attention to other things.

Not me personally, but there are a number of drugs that increase your appetite, too.

Again, the point really is that hunger isn't as simple as "you'll be slightly hungry most of the time".
The bottleneck in supply that is causing high prices is not lack of lithium ore, but lack of refining capacity, that purifies lithium ore to lithium carbonate or lithium oxide at the purity required for making batteries.

There is plenty of lithium out there. There are at present not enough refineries to clean it up, but that is easily fixed. The cure for high prices is high prices.

Lithium is definitely renewable. It's more difficult than lead in lead-acid batteries (approx 99.5% recycled), but it's doable, and will eventually cost the same as lithium ore from mines. Recycling will start when there are a few million tons of dead lithium batteries to start recycling.

Isn't this a variation on "who needs comments anyway, just read the code?"
Specifically, the study, published in Nature on 21 September, shows that just 20% of PhD-granting institutions in the United States supplied 80% of tenure-track faculty members to institutions across the country between 2011 and 2020 (see ‘Hiring bias’).

If you look at the LinearSolve.jl defaulting system, if non-standard BLAS's are installed on the system then that takes priority in the defualt, so this all still works just fine (And would reduce compilation).

There is. Ethics constitute a voluntary constraint on behavior. Businesses with no ethics are less constrained, and therefore can outcompete businesses so encumbered.
> it's hard to refactor Python or change a large codebase and have it keep working correctly, so huge Python projects tends to ossify.

Although I don't work in Python, in general, projects written in dynamic languages can be refactored if they've been developed in a disciplined fashion, that is, with substantial test coverage (I guess that in modern projects, with type checking, the need is significantly reduced). This is not unrealistic (I'm currently worked on a large-but-not-huge project, and it's perfectly possible to refactor), although of course, whether dynamic language with lots of testing is still more efficient (in terms of engineering resources) than static language with less testing, it's another story.

>>I'd like to see similar study about the original gateway drug: "24-hour News Channels"

Back in the early 80s I was living in LA and I'd grab some food on the way home from work and the "News" on an independent station. They had 3 half hour News show back to back. They started out with "Local News", then moved on to "National News", and finally "World News".

At first it didn't seem much different than the big 3 Networks. Everyday I'd come home from work feeling fine but after a few months of doing that I realized by the end of the last broadcast I was very depressed.

It finally occurred to me, after a few months, that the station was gathering every tragedy they could find, rapes, robberies, murders, wars, airplane and auto crashes, etc. So I decided to stop watching it and immediately went back to my normal, happy, content self.

Since I've learned to monitor the "News" as opposed to consuming it and that's much easier to do when we can pick and choose what to consume and ignore it with just a click or tap. And since then I've had quite a few friends and relatives who're happy and content before and are now in a constant state of rage because they're pretty much addicted to watching FOX/CNN/MSNBC, etc.

That said, I would love to see a serious study on this because it's grown into a serious and national mental heath problem here in the U.S.

Same impression. At least in that example it's faster to read the code to understand. I'd like them to decipher some real spaghetti code.
Both of these examples are enterprises, not something a private citizen does. I would also hesitate to say that you can become a felon overnight with either of these scenarios (remember all of the rights lost, including gun ownership, by being labeled a felon). And a majority of businesses shield themselves such that if they do violate the law it’s the business itself penalized, not the workers. In the case of gun ownership it’s the individual being penalized.

To make your example equivalent, imagine if the food truck or some piece of equipment in that truck was suddenly made illegal. And if you’re in possession of it you are now a felon. Yesterday (literally) it was legal and you were not given advanced notice anymore than waking up this morning and receiving notice.

If heavy machinery and food industries operated this way there would be much less competition and likely no food trucks at all

What I am talking about has nothing to do with Intellisense or your workflow. What I am saying is that, if someone in 2019 told you that there is a "thing" that is able to take a very complex sentence and qith high accuracy (and awareness of the database details) generate 50 lines of SQL, using CTEs, complex JOINs, subqueries, string formatting, date manipulation, etc, you would have been amazed. That thing now exists, and it didn't exist before. It is a complete phase shift and it cannot simply be viewed as a incremental improvement. This is a whole different beast.

Using this beast as intellisense is just one application (called "Copilot") and it has all these annoyance factors sometimes. But I am not talking about that.

To me, this is like we found a way to transform iron to gold with low energy usage, and people are complaining that gold is not that useful. And most chemists not even hearing about the news. I'm constantly amazed by this, every single day, as I read threads like this one.
> yah, this is the amazing part. societies are much more resilient than we might otherwise give them credit for. we can endure a lot of suboptimality and hardship, and even reasoning our way into tenacious consent, because the activation energy for change is so high and the final outcome so uncertain. perhaps this is the best we can do--find stable local optima for limited spans of time.

You know, on one hand this is harmful...but then on the other hand I think it is also a bit of a silver lining. As it is, it seems to me that we are on some sort of a collision course with Mother Nature, climate change being the biggest threat but certainly not the only one (nuclear weapons, AI, etc). But if the shit was to ever really hit the fan, a "Get Out of Jail Free (maybe)" is in existence: humanity could [1] upgrade its firmware/software.

[1] Or, the option exists - whether we are able to actually take advantage of it is another matter, but even if we're not doing so good, I think a "bootsrapping" type deployment could maybe be pulled off, so we could maybe "work our way up" slowly, despite our inability to go directly to higher versions.
True! But a link shortener SaaS is more than just redirects – it also needs data visualization to help marketing teams understand the performance of their links, which is half of the value prop imho!

There are ways to fix a lot of the issues, like over allocating arrays could be fixed through escape analysis to delete allocations through compiler analysis. And there's a lot of prototypes for these features. I expect a good chunk of them start rolling out over the next year. Some of them though are more foundational, like knowing when to use dynamic dispatch vs avoiding dispatch.

Over time I shifted my opinion to consider that ternary operation as "logic", so the Foo is not the right place for that. Either Foo should've been created with "Default" already set to the `name` field, or Foo users should make the decision themselves.

Foo class can only contain something, but not make any decisions, no matter how small, because it's not obvious whether a decision is still small or not anymore.

Getters are still useful though, for example:

class Foo {
// all contents of Foo, but we want to keep it serialized for performance reasons
private ByteBuffer bb;

public Long getId() {
return bb.getLong(ID_OFFSET);
}
}

I feel like this is almost like... an intuitively good thing to be observed? I know there are a lot of complications around how admittance to such universities can be biased and exclusionary - but if we ignore that for a moment the pure fact that most university professors come from the highest ranked schools is a good thing. It means that the education you'll receive at any university (I myself am a UVM grad which is a wonderful but definitely not elite school) is likely being taught by adroit professors - I'd rather have the most educated graduates all be funneled into future teaching jobs than have lower tier universities stuck with less well educated teachers causing a perpetual cycle of that university being stuck as "low-tier".

Now, in our universe (bringing back all that baggage I initially eschewed) university "eliteness" is pretty stupid and meaningless - it's used as a status symbol which is irrelevant as soon as you have real work experience with the exception of academia which obsesses over degrees even into your 60s. I guess Harvard is probably going to get you a better education than Mass Bay - but a keen student at Mass Bay will get more out of their education than a trust fund baby at Harvard.
