Even on the remaining Intel models having Apple upgrade the RAM is a bad deal. The Intel Mac Mini has socketed RAM and they want $1000 for 64GB of DDR4 2666. You can get 64GB DDR4 3200 sodimms for less than $200 right now. Even in 2018 it was a bad deal. I put 32GB in the one I had for less than a third the price Apple was asking.

And for storage that isn't on the SoC, it's just flash chips on the board so it shouldn't be much different cost wise to what the M.2 drive manufacturers are paying. Yet it costs considerably more.
ssh -X for those couple of GUI apps that need to be run remotely. It's not great, but it's not terrible either?
A really great container solution is Podman and Linux. If macOS wanted to provide namespaces they could have done so, but to get the native container experience and a truly open source operating system just use Linux.
Yes, but not as a general purpose encoding. It's more fit for it's intended purpose.

> looking very much into Nim to see if I can replace Rust because of the high cognitive load to keep all of the Rust stuff in my head, as I don't really need safety.

Personally I find that Rust has less cognitive load, because so much of what you'd generally worry about in other languages is covered by language features in Rust: static typing, algebraic data types, etc
Cloud drive approach considerably simplifies the code. You can use shell scripts, Unix tools, 3rd party apps. You can combine them. This approach gives a lot of freedom and power. It is just Unix but with a cloud.

Such approach also protects you from a vendor lock-in: you can use any cloud storage you like today.

Performance drawbacks are evident - if a file is not cached in the local cache then it takes some time to get it there. But it does not really matter for the most apps because that initial lag is relatively short.

Reliability has been perfect so far.
I've had similar experiences trying to commission works. Turns out artists are difficult to work with almost by definition. And the few who actually act like they're providing a service you've agreed to pay money for are few and far between.
I struggle to see how this is different from another artist eyeing then aping their style. The choice would be to not show other humans the art basically.
One interesting next step to the idea is to indicate a continuity of meaning via the edits. For example, for each randomly selected gif, have the next gif share at least one tag. This allows each vaguely connected gif to create a randomly generated narrative by their connected meaning.
> It creates stability, but often at the expense of flexibility.

Also at the expense of individualism.

The freedom to think differently gives us many different issues in the western world. But I still think it's worth it. Making the most of one's life is important.

Also I don't think law enforcement is the biggest factor in reducing crime. It doesn't eliminate the need for people to commit crimes, it just moves it to less policed areas. The bigger problem is disenfranchised and low-opportunity groups. If all the chances you have in life are to be a minimum wage burger flipper then it's easy to become disenfranchised and turn to crime that does offer you chances. Increasing the risk will also increase the potential rewards as the war on drugs and prohibition have shown.

I think our cities in Europe are safer because people have more economic equality and a better welfare safety net for when things really go wrong. And our prisons are a lot milder than the US's or Japan's. Especially in the exceptionally safe Scandinavian countries.

Not sure how Japan deals with welfare but I wouldn't consider this just a law enforcement issue.
I have tried all the new toys and I am keeping track of this fascinating development.

I work in the video games "industry", we need concepts and mockups, but a much larger part of the production is assets, meshes, textures, materials, shaders...

We're seeing huge improvements, from photogrammetry to simplified production pipelines and more powerful light models.

ML based tools will also help to iterate faster, but the key point is control, human control.
The answer can be summed up in one word: "privacy"

I don't understand this.

Once Google has my data, how does it affect my "privacy" if Google Service A shares it with Google Service B?

I'm somewhat privacy conscious, but I don't understand the concern there. I assume that once I give them my data, they're already doing whatever with it internally.
This just implies style will mutate as it has in chess.
What would you think about a casual/emergent ontology, like the way fan fiction is tagged, or like Wikidata? I realize these are very different approaches, but people are already putting in huge effort to categorize content just out of their own passion, and I'm curious what you would think of a user-generated approach.

> And I bought Macs exclusively when the hardware was both much slower and pricier than PCs (68k and PPC), because I loved the software so much.

Incredible that these myths are being perpetuated by a Mac user. The fact is that at release, new Macs (including 68k and PPC) were always the most performant machines available in their class. Always. You could buy a cheaper x86, but it wasn't as powerful on that date. And the fact is, Mac prices were and are always within $100 of a feature-matched PC. The problem was consistently that PC consumers didn't want the included hardware features, wanted other features that weren't included, and translated that they could buy a much shittier PC for less as Macs being outrageously expensive. It was always bullshit. Ornery PC consumers were never Apple's market. Macs were and are the computer "for the rest of us." And, ironically, everything Apple designs gets copied poorly by Microsoft and PC manufacturers. Asahi is the inverse of Hackintosh. Both ideas are somewhat ridiculous. I want a Ford engine in my Chevy powered by tomato soup!
Really impressed. The ability to chain the http calls with assertions is great. The one thing I would prefer is to set the environment variables also in the .hurl file rather than in a .env file. Also, how do you access the key of a nested object?
Running on an iPhone-grade hardware is what they refer to as "struggling". You need a lot of iterations in any workflow, be it style transfer or text-to-image, so you want as fast generation and as much CUDA cores as possible, and up to 24GB VRAM for higher resolutions. More importantly, most of the power of this stuff is not just in inference, but in finetuning the model on your custom data, which requires 12GB VRAM for SD 1.4 at the very least, and ultimately multiple server-grade GPUs. And even more importantly, you need full control over your own box, not an iPhone app - as it's still a very experimental field which is only going to be more complex and hard to master.

That said, you can just rent a GPU instead of buying it right away. It's not very expensive, and can be cheaper overall depending on your usage. It's also the only sane way to experiment with training as you need a lot of attempts.

This stuff can really devour any hardware you can possibly throw at it.
Oh sweet child, try transferring your “dollars” out of your country first – especially into US – before you claim they are real.
> CI would fail on existing code that previously passed.

You problem isn’t that black changed formatting rules, your problem is that you didn’t pin CI dependencies. This isn’t a unique problem to black, any other tool used in CI pipelines can cause things to break if you don’t pin them.
There is a lot of case law on what a derivative work is. A model that outputs an identically image to the training doesn’t mean the trained model is infringing or a derivative work.
Hey, old friend.

Sadly Cloudflare seems to treat client certificates as an optional nifty feature as opposed to the critical feature that it is. And even some of the settings that look secure aren’t:

Authenticated origin pulls should not be “useful”. They should be on and configured securely by default, and any insecure setting should get a loud warning.
The key point is that this is a different kind of tool, and you'll still need artists to use them.

Pretty much like power tools for carpenters. The house won't build itself, but the process will be improved.
Regardless of if congresspeople were or were not “acting on behalf of FTX”, I find this style of argument absolutely counter productive.

The vast majority of journalism today is leading me so stupidly by the reigns to a particular watering hole that my gut instinct is to buck the lead and sprint into the desert to die. It should not be so easy to be the devil’s advocate, and I’m so tired of defending the devil.

Not sure how that is overly complicated? Or you or others shorten that to 'the court said the App Store wasn’t a monopoly'?

The court said a very different thing.

And yes, it should be illegal to sell physical devices with a non-user-selectable digital store.

And what are the currency volumes? What mechanisms can you use to turn rubles into other currencies that are legal in Russia? Can a bank or investor trade rubles currently? What are the interest rates charged to loan rubles? Those currency controls have the direct impact of making imports expensive or unattainable.

Russia is now mulling issuing yuan denominated bonds. As if they were a client state of China. That’s not because their economy is strong. Their trade surpluses are largely because their imports have collapsed.

The ruble/yuan pair is quite simply China taking advantage of a Russian economy that is teetering. Extrapolating out anything beyond that about global reserve currencies is folly.

[edit] went looking for detailed trade data for Russia and it turns out it’s no longer published by the Russian authorities https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-russia-import...

Sure, but one of the things they use it for is to impede this sort of thing. They don't care about perfect accuracy, just inject random faults and increase latency if they suspect this sort of tunneling.

>If the Linux kernel had worked the same way, we'd never have gotten Linux.

Yes we would. In fact it's exactly how Linux works and has worked for decades. New features get added in drivers and then get rolled up into driver subsystems when enough hardware supports them.

You shouldn’t move wearing Gore-TEX in my experience. If you stop and it’s wet you put it on while stopped. You take it off when you start moving again. If you’re moving you’re going to be wet anyway (sweat) so no point trying to stay dry from the outside.

Best application is sleeping bag covers. Worst application is boots. Makes no sense.
KATT https://github.com/for-GET/katt is the same concept, but following the pattern matching philosophy. Written in Erlang, available as a CLI tool as well but needs the erlang runtime installed.

Code example: https://github.com/for-GET/katt/blob/master/doc/example-http...

Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors, thus biased, but the reason I'm mentioning KATT is that the low barrier of entry for captures and asserts makes it a nice requirement tool for non-techs to write complex API scenarios.

> One consumer-grade fiber link is enough to serve my company's traffic and with two months of what we pay MS for their barely working cloud I could buy enough hardware to host our product for a year of two of sustained growth.

I don't believe that is even remotely correct.

It isn't the pricing you should be worried about but the staffing, redundancy, and 24/7 operations staff.

I'm dealing with AWS and on-prem. On-prem spent some $5M to build out a whole new setup, took literal multiple months of racking, planning, designing, setting up, etc.

It's not even entirely in use because we got supply chain issued for 100 Gbit switches and they won't be coming until at least April of 2023 (after many months of delays upon delays already).

The difference is that it can effectively turn someone with very little artistic training into an artist. Sure, it's not usable for every use case, but it would be usable for album cover, or just to have nice illustrations to draw people to a website, and some cases of concept art.
Unfortunately the game of cat and mouse between marketing teams, and potential consumers simply trying to research, continues.

Quite a sizeable crowd, actually. The M1 series is quite fine for gaming, it just requires vendors/authors producing for it.
If donating money to politicians didn’t buy influence companies wouldn’t do it.
I'm keeping up with this pretty well, and it's very far away from being practical and controllable enough to get the actual job done. Txt2img is largely irrelevant for the real work, generation from text alone isn't going to work well beyond toy and novelty purposes.

I made the transition a few years ago. I enjoy coding and I'm probably a better developer than PM. However, once I realized there were higher level business problems that I could provide significant impact on, I couldn't stand spending time heads down programming anymore. It just felt like a bad use of my time and I was always keeping an ear out for what the higher level problems were and wishing I could work on those.

I think that is pretty obvious. This is beyond nitpicking.

A platform that nobody develops for isn't really a good platform for gaming. And I don't see why developers would bother when Apple is just going to break compatibility for their games in a few years unless they keep updating it.
It's not a race thing, it's a trust and culture thing.

There are diverse countries that have similar levels of safety like Singapore.

If your government sucks, laws are poorly enforced or even maliciously enforced - there is low trust among the people, no respect for public spaces and no one follows the social norms.

An elegant guideline for a more civilized age.
I am. I have no interest in getting a Windows PC just for gaming, so I make do with what's available (for the games that are not better played on my Switch anyway, it really is the ideal gaming device for me).

Sometimes it's a struggle to get it working, but the payoff of being able to play my strategy game or whatever on my same old laptop on the couch is well worth it to me.

Plus, sometime I'm amazed how well the games then run on battery and with only little fan noise at worst, despite Rosetta. Just yesterday I played XCOM2 at maxed out graphics settings for hours. (Partly because the DLC I played isn't on the Switch, and partly because I wanted to see what the game was like at full graphics.)
