Can it do hands & fingers now?

Stable Diffusion is amazing, but I've never seen it reliably generate realistic hands. The examples in the ControlNet repo show a chef in the kitchen with 6 fingers.
This is useful when your language is simple enough that you don’t need a real parser.

Fast lexer + cheap validator is a winning combo.
Thank you this is actually something that appears to solve one of my main issues. I did not see this before, and it's not linked to from their dashboard UI or the ethereum gateway docs [1]. It appears that I could make the DNS record go through another cloudflare product Cloudflare Zero Trust[2] which can do the access management.

While this is good to know, I still would much like visibility into public usage and user set billing limit caps. A large portion of use cases for an ethereum gateway is going to be frontend client side calls, and yes I know I could make another proxy layer on my own servers and set limits there, which if I could do things over I would have.

> Norms around language change.

That was addressed in the article, I think: Although the guides refer to language “evolving,” these changes are a revolution from above.

You reference slow, natural evolution of norms. Those happen everywhere, not just in language, but they happen organically. People change and then they change what they tolerate, how they speak etc. It's not that someone decides "people now have to speak like this, so that they then change to become like me". That's the "creating a new man" approach that lead to endless suffering under the socialists/communists, though I guess now it would be "creating a new person".

> Two wrongs obviously don't make a right. But this is not new.

"Everything is fine, because we've seen bad things happen before, so this isn't new, and only new things can be a problem"?
Apologies, somehow missed that. Thanks for the speedy response. Your explanation is very clear. Something that is keeping me tied to Airtable is their 'interface designer'. Allows for rapidly building internal admin tools. Something similar is apparently on NocoDB's roadmap (they are calling it page designer I believe). Am I correct in saying that this not something that is on your current Roadmap (had a look, but did not spot something similar, but could have misread)?
It's a useless definition. A woman is someone who identifies as a woman. Circular definition much? Makes the word pretty much meaningless.
The unknown isn't something to be scared of. It's alright if something isn't settled in stone, you don't need to resolve every little question. You don't even need to resolve the big ones!
The distinction between sex and gender wasn’t really made until the 1940s and 1950s in parts of academia. The idea of them as separate ideas is sort of a modern invention.
Tesla’s plan to slash silicon carbide use sends some chipmakers’ shares down
> Campbell revealed that, “In our next powertrain, the silicon carbide transistors that I mentioned, that are key component[s] but expensive, we figured out a way to use 75% less without compromising the performance or the efficiency of the car.”

> Shares of ON Semiconductor and ST Microelectronics each lost about 2%, while Wolfspeed dropped about 7% as investors worried that Tesla’s moves would be a harbinger for the automotive industry.

> Campbell also said Tesla’s new powertrains will feature motors built without any rare earth metals. Raw material supplier, MP Materials, known for providing automakers with neodymium, dropped about 11% in response.

> Chips made with silicon carbide transistors are widely used in electric vehicles. Generally, they withstand more heat, have a longer life and are more energy-efficient than semiconductors made with silicon power transistors, according to the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
> I prefer the term blind because it is pretty descriptive and relatively short

The Great European Firewall
Europa proposes the new law to protect online child sexual abuse.

An effective implementation will require installment of the Great European Firewall.

"(6) Online child sexual abuse frequently involves the misuse of information society services offered in the Union by providers established in third countries. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the rules laid down in this Regulation and a level playing field within the internal market, those rules should apply to all providers, irrespective of their place of establishment or residence, that offer services in the Union, as evidenced by a substantial connection to the Union."

Regarding how to "watch" movies: Its actually as simple as turning the TV on and listening to what comes out the speakers...
In the 80s, movies were actually much more story-driven then today. Even if you missed something happening because you didnt see the visuals, you would get it typically a few seconds or minutes afterwards, because somebody was refering to the event and therefore uncovering the riddle. Something like "Hey, did you see the car explode back there?"
These days, there is the concept of audio description.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_description

You might have noticed a second audio channel with some movies or sports broadcasts, depending on what country you are in.
Even Apple TV has an ability to configure such a descriptive audio channel, and have it played back when the movie actually comes with one.
Run about the two - the differences are much greater than what a birds-eye view would let on.

To add to what Pavish said, reads are always safe, so you can examine, monitor, make reports and what we call Explorations (our user-friendly spin on Postgres views) of your data without worries. When it comes to adding data and updating it, that can be safe as well in many cases, but definitely should consult with someone that knows the specifics of your application. Schema changes, however, are very likely to break something, hence the permission system Pavish described.
I think TypeScript's decisions about these methods were done either because early versions of the transpiler couldn't detect certain behaviour or to make the language friendlier to work with.

If you have a function `widgetifyFoo(object: Foo)` and some JSON that you're pretty sure returns a `Foo`, you'd like to be able to do `widgetifyFoo(JSON.parse(data))`. With `any` the method call should just work, but with `unknown` you need to be explicit in what kind of data you're expecting (`widgetifyFoo(JSON.parse(data) as Foo)`). That may be too verbose for some.

The `[1, 2, undefined].filter(x => !!x)` typing is just a limitation of the transpiler. The end result will be an array containing two numbers, but you need to do some complicated validation to get the type right; `filter`s can be very complex if you want them to be, and they do by contract return a (sub)selection of the input. The type guarantee you want as a developer is based on the implementation rather than the underlying type system.

I suspect the `Array.includes` implementation to be a choice by the devs. The check will only succeed if the type matches, so you have a choice between setting the right type on your array (`"matt"|"sofia"|"waqas"|"bryan"` if you want to check for `"bryan"`) or using the type error you receive as an indication your check makes no sense. If you have an immutable array of specifically `["matt","sofia"]`, why even check for `"bryan"`? It won't be there, unless you make a mistake!

Javascript will obviously happily call the method for you and do what you expect, so TypeScript is breaking valid JavaScript standard API code here. That said, I agree with the TypeScript devs that they made the right choice on that one.
I make sure that I spend an hour before work, around people (gym), then my break in nature (forest/park) and then the hour after work in a exercise class (yoga). Sometimes that boils down to 3-4 hours of exercise per day. So I am always around people before, during and after work. It's hardly a suggestion, but this really works well for me.

Also, if I deviate a week from this schedule, I start to feel claustrophobic. So I have been keeping this up for close to a year now.

> The language terror they were subjected to has made them so unsecure that they actually dont want to hear that blind people have no issue with being called blind.

It is unusual for the opinions of the minorities involved to be relevant.The language policing appears to be a power play within the majority. What you are observing is consistent with that - they aren't worried about offending the blind, they're worried about how their language will allow their peers to jostle for position.
It doesn't trick the TPM, but as mentioned in the other comment, it does disable Bitlocker before compromising the boot chain so that won't be obvious from an end-user perspective. Remote attestation would still demonstrate that the boot chain had changed, and something like https://www.osfc.io/2022/talks/user-friendly-lightweight-tpm... would let you use your phone to determine that before logging in.

Well, it matters to me that I be corrected sooner rather than later.

We're sitting in a conversation and someone says "well, that actor also played $CHARACTER in $OTHERFRANCHISE", and I think that it was actually $OTHERACTOR, I'd rather know for certain whether I have misconceptions or not.

Obviously, if we're actually talking about it, it does matter to the participants.

To you actors may not matter, but I guarantee you're not sitting around idly having conversations where the topic doesn't matter to you.

Personally, I've set 10 years for myself as a reasonable timespan, and I round up or down the version number to where it makes sense in terms of larger changes that have happened throughout the version history of the respective piece of software.

There's a thought that Nassim Nicholas Taleb mentions in one of his books that I've frequently used as a mental model ever since coming across it: For a book that has continuously been read for the last 100 years, you can expect it will continue to be read for the next 100 years. For a book that has only come out last year and been continuously read since then, you should have an expectation that one year from now, people will stop reading it.

10 years is a number I've arrived at by experimentation, thinking about version histories of various bits of software I build upon. For example, for Python this takes me back to version 3.4, before type decorators and many other things hit the scene that I disapprove of anyway. So now, I test all my code with both version 3.4 and the newest version (3.11). I won't use language features from 3.11 that weren't already there in 3.4, and I won't use code in 3.4 that breaks or throws deprecation warnings in 3.11. I also apply this test to dependencies, seeing what happens if I try to get the newest version of some Python library running on version 3.4 of the interpreter.

This means, my code is engineered in such a way that it could have been in continuous operation for the last 10 years, while running continuous updates on what's underneath it. And this gives me a reasonable expectation that my code will require only minimal code changes over the next 10 years to keep up with whatever might arise.

With the python interpreter itself, it's remarkably easy to do that, and I feel it doesn't limit me in my own coding in any meaningful way. With other bits of software, including many python libraries that one might depend on, it would be absolutely unworkable. In such a case, I take that as a clear signal not to use the software/dependency at all.

This is a lot of work, but also a good forcing function that prevents me from becoming a dependency hog myself. It's also useful research, because I get to develop an understanding of what time does to a piece of software, i.e. what causes breakage through time versus what causes stability through time, because I see the breakage in other bits of software through the time axis that I simulate into the past. And this way, I can avoid those mistakes when designing my own software.
Yes. The rules were complicated, too. Children referring to adults and teachers with Mr./Ms. is a relic from what was once a more complicated set of rules about social hierarchy. Relative age, familiarity, and social status, both of the audience/listener and of the speaker relative to the referred person, were the main factors that determined the choice in how to refer to someone. The older, more socially distant, and socially superior they were to you, and the more formal the situation, the more likely you used the title. If the listener was socially distant or inferior to the party, you were more likely to refer to the party with a title. Using simply a last name without a title was also an option for a superior to an inferior. Given names were considered intimate to use alone, and reserved in private between family and close friends and sometimes close colleagues.

The change started in the '70s and it's not quite complete. More progressed in some regions than others. A couple decades ago, the manager at my first job was addressed as Mr. and it seemed quite natural to me at the time.
It would be nice if you had an explanation of how this service is different from others
My partner is disabled, and by chance and via support groups she is a member of, she has many friends annd acquaintences who are as well. And while it's by no means universal, she and all her disabled friends absolutely loathe the "people first language" currently in vogue (ie, "person with a disability" over "disabled").

And it's odd! Because while there are certainly disabled people who prefer one form over another when they speak or when people refer to them (although again, in my experience, the overwhelming majority prefer the clarity of "disabled"), the only time I've ever run across someone making a universal dictate about how everyone should speak about all disabled people everywhere, the speaking has been non-disabled. And invariably backing a viewpoint which is tenditious at best among actually disabled people!

And to what end? It sometimes feels - certainly to my partner, hence her anger - an attempt to just sort of pretend the issue dosn't exist so that nobody has to be uncomfortable. Her disability is, at the moment, entirely incurable. She has experienced significant grief over her disability; she would love not to have it. But she does, and relabelling her as "differently abled" or a "person with a disability" doesn't suddenly remove the physical limitations she is struggling with.
The Amazon Basics Graviton ARM SoC currently powers Ubiquiti's networking hardware.

So far not much to write home about for that product line, though perhaps supply issues from Amazon or an unwillingness to provide vendor credit is why Ubiquiti is constantly out of stock of so many SKUs of products.
There is much wrong in this comment.

> This is an academic issue, ”a solution in search of a problem” as almost all the rest of academia is. As such, it never stops at a reasonable, meaningful equilibrium; it has to be kept pacing, moving forward towards more and more ridiculous extremes.

Not at all. Academia is about the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment. What you are describing is happening in academia, but that is not its purpose or its main role. Academia is as much about the mating habits of the spotted fizzbuzz up in the Andes or the design of advanced composite materials or developing vaccines for malaria than the understanding of how humans behave in society.

The ridiculous extremes are not confined to academia, this is just an anti-intellectual talking point. Nobody is running around panicking that the purpose of elections is to produce fascists.

> An academic, in order to stay relevant, needs to keep pushing the invisible and mostly inexistent boundaries that they perceive in whatever field they are involved in. If they’re faced with a set vocabulary today, then tomorrow they’ll have to come up with an ”aha! Found a new offensive word” to position themselves as a relevant, meaningful part of this strange, ethereal movement.

Again this weird focus on academia. Journalists, politicians, and random blokes on the internet do it. Most of academics don’t. The problem is humans in general, your scapegoat is meaningless. By ascribing your issues to an immaterial Other entity out to get you, you absolve the rest of society, which is really where the problem lies.

I get it...I tend to think in point solutions as well, but getting stuck there is the problem and moving past that to abstract point solutions into a systems design that talks about the architecture of the solution and the 'why' behind the design choices is what gets you out of NDA-land.
