What you want to be looking at is murder rates, as they are always counted the same way.

By that measure the us seems to be the most violent it’s been in 25 years, roughly equivalent to 1997.

If you are motivated you can learn everything that’s in a boot camp on your own. However, going through a boot camp successfully is a good signal during hiring that you have some experience in programming in relavent technology. It’s much harder to signal your experience when it’s all self taught. Whether it’s good value for the money depends on your own circumstances.
Are you failing to take per capita measurements in that assessment? I think per capita violent crime, gun violence in particular, is high in rural areas. Seems to me what you're saying is "a lot of people live in cities".
I am bit surprised by the downvotes. I guess it seems that people seem to be interested in getting a full text search, which for me has never really worked well because results are too noisy (thinking back at least to solutions such as copernic).
Hey everyone!

InvokeAI 2.2 is now available to everyone - It's an open source toolkit for Stable Diffusion. This update brings in exciting features, like UI Outpainting, Embedding Management and more. See highlighted updates below, or the full release notes for everything included in the release.

- The Unified Canvas: The Web UI now features a fully fitted infinite canvas that is capable of outpainting, inpainting, img2img and txt2img so you can streamline and extend your creative workflow. The canvas was rewritten to improve performance greatly and bring support for a variety of features like Paint Brushing, Unlimited History, Real-Time Progress displays and more.

- Embedding Management: Easily pull from the top embeddings on Huggingface directly within Invoke, using the embed token to generate the exact style you want. With the ability to use multiple embeds simultaneously, you can easily import and explore different styles within the same session!

- Viewer: The Web UI now also features a Viewer that lets you inspect your invocations in greater detail. No more opening the images in your external file explorer, even with large upscaled images!

- 1 Click Installer Launch: With our official 1-click installation launch, using our tool has never been easier. Our OS specific bundles (Mac M1/M2, Windows, and Linux) will get everything set up for you. Our source installer is available now, and our binary installer will be available in the next day or two. Click and get going - It’s now much simpler to get started.

- DPM++ Sampler Support (Experimental): DPM++ support has been added! Please note that these are experimental, and are subject to change in the future as we continue to enhance our backend system.

Up Next

We are continually exploring a large set of ideas to make InvokeAI a better application with every release. Work is getting started to develop a modular backend architecture that will allow us to support queuing, atomic execution, easily add new features and more. We’ll also officially support SD2.0 soon.

If you are a developer who is currently using InvokeAI as your backend, we welcome you to join in on the conversation and provide feedback so we can build the best system possible.

–-

Whether you're a dev looking to build on or contribute to the project, a professional looking for pro-grade tools to incorporate into your workflow, or just looking for a great open-source SD experience, we're looking forward to you joining the community.

You can get the latest version on GitHub!

Actually I was wrong the murder rate is as bad as the late 90s:

I would have to go 100 feet up just to get out of tree cover. My backyard has a stream that created a valley on either side. To get past the trees at the top of the little valley I’d have to go another 100 feet. If the coverage area was a 360 degree circle around my house I’d have less than 90 degrees of clear sky. If the leaves are on the trees it less than that.

Well, you just described the point of product red and why it is not irrelevant just because there are "proper" charities.

1 they manage to collaborate with big names like Apple that create products in demand, 2 they make sure the color is not ugly, 3 they make sure you don't pay more.

If not for product red Y-bar may not have donated to HIV/AIDS cause at all. Same for me, I always buy product red if device is available because why not, I don't care about the color much.
I consider that intentional
Rust is a system programming language. If I have a new idea for an allocator they want me to write the experimental version in rust. If you never write an allocator and other such tricks you don't need unsafe - you could use one of the other languages. Java doesn't have unsafe, but you cannot write a custom allocator in java (well you can, but it will by a manual process to use it - you have to drop back to C if you want java to use your custom allocator by default)
That’s exactly what’s happening. Governors around the country and even the President have been issuing pardons for weed “crimes”.
"[...]you can mock them[...]" is already something that i do not agree with. This could very easily be seen as an insult and in court you would get fucked over. But then again, I am not american. It is illegal to show the middle finger here. Even to objects. Welcome to Germany.
I would say that the US still has freedom of speech. Just with a lot of cops that should not be cops at all. My country? No.
I've always been conflicted about this company. The marketing/news is always controversial(ISA, outcomes, lawsuits, etc), but clever in terms of media manipulation(more eyes on it to their service). The service is noble and good to fill the demand and change people's lives.

It's hard to use the words morally wrong and noble goals in the same sentence though given it's a contradiction.

Layoffs suck regardless though.

Sure, you can force a fiction of O(1) by dramatically increasing latency and strictly limiting the size of memory, as we do with microcontrollers. This would now be O(1) with a very large constant factor overhead, basically pinning memory access to the latency of the memory cells that are furthest from the CPU.
My interpretation of the ice-bucket challenge criticism was that it had a lot of people dunking ice buckets on their heads on social media; but it is unclear how many wrote checks instead (or as well).

At least in this case there's pretty clearly money flowing to the cause rather than just teenagers doing teenager stuff on social media with added warm fuzzies.
> The latency of accessing memory is not a function of N.

How could it not be, given that any physical medium has finite information density, and information cannot propagate faster than the speed of light?

And on a practical computer the size of N will determine if you can do all your lookups from registers, L1-L3, or main RAM (plus SSD, unless you disable paging).
Credit where credit is due, then. Thank you to the FB folks who worked on this. Hopefully FB will do well by doing good, as they say.
How is typescript support? I found that a bit lacking when I was using Svelte (and I otherwise love svelte)
> who’s to blame for that?

Illegal drug suppliers, as they keep the vulnerable population (born poor and/or not educated) within the vicious circle of being too high on drugs to perform any decent type of work. This in turn reduces their income and increases their social risk at the same time. The root causes to this problem are far from the reach of local government, and this explains why the problem looks/feels unsolvable.
But look at 1993. You're citing a graph and asking to ignore the huge peak.
> You can stomp on your girlfriend's neck and get a suspended sentence.

Physical assaults are really poorly handled by the courts.

For violent crimes, they even allow alcohol or drugs as a mitigating factor, and rarely follow up on the character references. Amusingly, for nonviolent crimes they are much stricter.

Worse - self defense is next to impossible. You can't own pepper spray or anything like that, and if you fight back you can also end up in the dock for assault.

> You can blatantly violate GDPR and the Irish DPC will look the other way.

The DPC is (deliberately) chronically underfunded. Some suspect this is to keep the country a friendly location for certain multinational companies.

> You can plop a couple mobile homes on to your land and nobody will do anything.

That doesn't violate the letter of the (backwards) planning laws.

> You can break any and all environmental laws

Enforcement of those is left to councils, who often are the ones breaking said laws (specifically, destroying habitats).

As for turf cutting, those laws were poorly thought out and likely will play a big part in the next election in rural areas.

Banning commercial harvesting is undeniably a good thing, but the hard and fast attempt to ban cutting for personal use has not been well received, especially in the current climate with regards energy.

> The gardai are useless.

Yes, they seem to have their priorities backwards a lot of the time. They are excellent at pursuing cannabis users and road traffic offenses, but pretty rubbish at everything else.

The easy out politically is to call for more Gardai to be recruited, but numbers aren't the real problem - quality and distribution are.

> the officer told me "whatever you do don't vote for the Green Party"

The Greens here aren't well liked for many reasons around the country - largely when they come up with policies, they ignore the objective reality of life outside Dublin, and tend to go right towards taxing the bollix out of you or banning things without providing an alternative. See also: turf.

Take for example, public transport. Outside urban areas, it may as well not exist. However the Greens won't advocate for expanded public transit in rural (or even commuter areas outside Dublin) because there is "no demand" and "everyone there will just drive anyway".

They are also entirely opposed to nuclear power, which is unfortunate.

They are often referred to as "Fine Gael on bikes" for a reason.

> I'd be really interested in a politician who wanted to actually enforce the law.

This would require systemic change of the Gardai. FF, FG, and the Greens have no interest in this.

It would also require probably some changes to the courts...

But sure. Its grand like.
This is so hilariously backwards.

The conservative tough on crime policies may have been inhumane or even immoral, but they did reduce crime.

The soft on crime policies have allowed increased crime. Here are US murder rates:

https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/murd...
True. But this just shows that we do know how to bring crime under control. Just a question of political will at this point. The recipe is there, if we look to history.
I have a recent Samsung flagship phone, and the same DSLR and lens as you. The DSLR is far superior for sports photography. My daughter plays indoor volleyball and smartphone pictures are garbage, just completely blurry due to the fast action. If I manually reduce the shutter speed then pictures are under exposed due to the tiny sensor. On the DSLR I can run it in shutter priority mode and push the ISO, so the results are pretty good (although a full frame camera would obviously be better).

The smartphone does pretty well in most other situations that don't involve fast movement in poor lighting.
What about spam from political parties?

I don't have a link now, but IIRC in last USA election the spam filter of gmail blocks the fundraising or "informational" email form the mayor political parties, and it generated a big controversy.

This is still optimization. It’s just better optimization because it’s longer-term and considers more variables and their interaction effects.

Agree. I have so many problems with my Mac Mini it is by far the worst device I ever owned.

- It randomly disconnects bluetooth for 30-40s. Especially annoying during calls. When your headset & keyboard stop working and you don't have a way of make anyone know.

- The processor goes full throttle out of blue. Makes my fan go 100% for good 5-10 minutes.

- From time to time it refuses to wake up my monitor and I need to force shut down it.
A great example of this phenomenon is the white response to desegregation in the United States. White union workers voted against their labor interests, white flight from major cities, municipalities closing down public swimming pools, disappearance of social clubs, etc. Community services were shut down in favor of the "free market" and we've seen the rise of pay as you go government services. Even obviously true notions like "it takes a village" were derided. Collectivism and the notion of "community" were greatly reduced in response to desegregation. The nation self immolated its social fabric in response to desegregation.

EDIT: In the last sentence I wrote above “nation” should have been written as “white people of the nation”.

Unfortunately this is the result of weakening laws and stripping funding from the agencies that enforce those laws. When thievery is akin to a speeding ticket, the act is going to increase exponentially.
I would think if my life is in the balance I'd prefer literally any other method of communication before freaking website push notifications.

Phone, text, email, even snail mail.

What's cavalier is thinking because your business wants to use them that they then should be used.
I second the RX100 series. As a step up, there is RX1 with a full frame and fixed lens. And HX99 the other way with a smaller sensor, but goes all the way up to 720mm.
or you can watch msnbc/cnn and pretend that their is no crime problem - or make excuses that minimize it. So, it cuts both ways.
Surely it would have adapted to become the defacto for touch apps, and it would be great for that. Apple's decision to kill it made that future impossible
Unfortunately, wealthy snobs can sustain crime --they can buy bigger houses with guards, cameras, fences and beckon the DA when needed.

It's your poor and middle class who do not have the means to deal with the crime who suffer the crime brought on by opportunistic criminals. Mundane examples are people have had their third and fourth catalytic converters stolen. It may not be a lot of money to you, but for your average worker, it's a day or two of inconvenience and a few hundred each time --money that now has to be reallocated.

How Long Do Rovers Last On Venus?

The lifespan of a rover on Venus is limited by a number of factors, including the harsh conditions on the planet's surface, the availability of power, and the reliability of the rover's systems. The longest-lasting rover on Venus was the Soviet Union's Venera 13, which operated for 127 minutes (just over two hours) before being destroyed by the extreme temperatures and pressures on the planet's surface. In general, it is difficult for a rover to survive for more than a few hours on Venus, and the majority of rovers that have been sent to the planet have survived for only a few minutes. The extreme conditions on Venus make it a challenging environment for rovers, and the development of more durable and reliable technology will be necessary to extend their lifespan on the planet.

The article explicitly makes the distinction between law and culture in free speech. Implicitly, that includes your concern about spam and porn, which are legally approved and culturally disapproved.

For example, the article points out that Apple could decide at any point to remove the Twitter app from their store for any reason. Such a reason could be that there is lots of porn on Twitter, and this could encourage Twitter to discourage porn on their platform, kind of like what happened with Tumblr.

As a consumer, I don't mind it if platforms censor spam and porn as long as there is a switch somewhere I can toggle that will let me opt out of it if I want to see spam and porn. That's just my personal preference and if enough other people express that preference then the culture around free speech will change.

Well, this sounds crazy, at least looking from Europe:

In February 2022, BNSF Railway implemented a points attendance system named "Hi Viz" that a union president called, "the worst and most egregious attendance policy ever adopted by any rail carrier." In the system, each worker starts with 30 points and loses points for taking a day off. Workers can accrue 4 points by being on-call for 14 straight days, but any time off, even for illness or a family emergency, resets the clock. Unions representing about 17,000 workers threatened to strike over the points system, but BNSF Railway sued and won a restraining order to prevent the unions from striking.
I mean they basically have a single purpose programming language (AFAIK Flutter is the only relevant use case) and it is taking them years to add ergonomic improvements to the language that would make day to day dev much easier.

Meanwhile they spent colossal effort and broke half of community packages (including a bunch of first party ones) with null safety. I'd say go for low hanging fruit first.

Because the language is so limited it's impossible to solve this via library, unlike say JavaScript.
The idea that there's some kind of globally-optimizing resource allocation for altruism and that you're open to criticism for failing to adhere to someone's line on it is just so fucked up.
