> If you're wondering how it's so fast and cheap and they can generate variants so easily

I assume its cheap because they are burning money to build a business, its not fast at all, and the quality... sucks.

> And if you're wondering how it can look so good

I’m not.

I'm wondering why they’re trying to get people to use something worse than using a decent photorealistic SD1.5-based checkpoint with some basic prompt templating.

Not saying GANs can't be awesome, just that this site isn't what I’d use to make that case.
>they're too unstable', a widespread myth

>See for example BigGAN

I remember when you try training a BigGAN model on anime images, the quality was bad. Now look at this example, one single GPU, 1.5M images with a diffusion model: https://medium.com/@enryu9000/anifusion-diffusion-models-for... ,the difference in quality is absurd, you can say this or that is not true but the quality speak for itself, obtaining good quality on complex distribution is much easier with a diffusion model than a GAN.

For example in the case of the site linked they have conditioned the model on poses because you're not going to get anything close to be coherent without them with a simple StyleGAN as they say they're using.
Probably shouldn't have made every individual adjustment to the gen parameters require a generation round-trip to persist them
Everybody's everything is being used to train "AI".

That was the reason for twitter going logged-in-only. Multiple companies were trying to download all of twitter at the same time to train their models.

Reddit put walls up for the same reason, though as usual they lied about why they were making reddit worse.

That's just the state of the Internet right now: If you have a large dataset of reasonably quality content, it's going to get slurped up to train models.
I feel like not having dedicated shed/storage area in the house plan is one of most common architectural mistakes, given just how often garage ends up being just that

Yeah those hikes sound pretty epic. My original question was more about finding a tiny segment of those hikes that would be close to civilization and could be done in a few days.
>Do the teams really matter that much...

Not to me they don't.
There are probably few people at comcast themselves who could tell you that. There are so many systems and few people have access to enough of them to know what the issue is.

Certainly not the customer service people. So, no probably not.

My dad has had deep brain stimulation (not the same as vagnus nerve stimulation, but in the same area) for over ten years. It helps a lot with his dystonia but he has developed severe paranoia which gets progressively worse. Of course you can't say that one caused the other, but I think it is reasonable to be cautious about devices that put electricity in your brain. Benefits are often instant side-effects may slowly accumulate over the years.

To be clear, there is a difference between SSR and SSG. SSG is something like PHP, which generates the full page HTML in the backend. I think HN is SSG? Many news websites or wordpress blogs also fall in this category...
It’s probably true of most complexity, it’s added for a functional purpose and payoff, but takes away from the simplicity.

People choose the complexity of a bottom freezer, but in this case the complexity of the choice isn’t even apparent to them. It’s unlikely to keep running as long as a top freezer fridge from the 80s or 90s, but they don’t know that when buying.
>Simple. Only interview with companies you'd like to work with so much that you'd be willing to negotiate from a starting offer 2/3rds of what you want. When your interest in the company is sufficient, you'll be motivated to tell them that their offer is "a good starting point for discussion" and then make a counter-offer or ask for additional vacation, bonuses, or whatever you value.

This would only work in a hot market, for a desirable candidate. Not everyone has the luxury of interviewing places they really want to work at any cost.
ChatGTP as a tool is so novel and magical that everyone will sign up and try it. Some of those people will shake out and follow a normal hype cycle.

Who would have thought that a machine would fail to bend it's computations to human sensitivites. Like someone who doesn't pick up on social queues that has to have all of their responses translated by someone who is overly-compliant.

No corporation can afford to turn AI loose.
You could argue that Bazel, Nix and Guix solve that problem but they introduce a lot of complexity as a result because it's not a simple abstraction. Hell, you could probably pull it off somehow in Cmake if you placed no value on your sanity. Most standard lib package managers double up as build tools for bundling your code after all.

It's a totally different problem space than the one asdf aims to solve, which is just managing multiple independent versions of some programming language binaries in a consistent way, so you're not dancing between nvm, rvm/rbenv/chruby, virtualenv, etc. etc.
> Only interview with companies you'd like to work with so much that you'd be willing to negotiate from a starting offer 2/3rds of what you want.

So… literally no-where then? Because anywhere that would offer 2/3rds is not a company I’d want to work for.

It almost certainly wasn't a coup, nor was it intended to be. It was a boyar making a pilgrimage to Moscow to petition the king for help. Specifically, with Shoigu and Gerasimov's takeover of Wagner.

See Mark Galeotti's ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Galeotti ) writings. I can't find where he discusses this in his podcast, but https://www.patreon.com/posts/prigozhins-plot-86895135

> When it comes down to it, Prigozhin was not trying to supplant Putin so much as petition him. This formulation was suggested by Anatoly Pinsky in a very interesting article in the War on the Rocks (https://warontherocks.com/2023/07/prigozhin-as-petitioner-ma...). It was disruptive, it may even have seemed dangerous, but the perverse irony is that it came from a place of a kind of loyalty. Prigozhin was not in any way, questioning Putin‘s right to rule; he was simply trying to influence his policies. In the quasi-mediaeval political environment of Putin‘s court, this is not necessarily personal disloyalty. Putin was clearly viscerally angry when he recorded his first message on the Saturday morning. He may also have been scared. But as he came to realise what was going on, he seems to have become less personally affronted. In other words, he not only came to understand what Prigozhin was doing, he excepted in a way, the fundamental systemic legitimacy of what he was doing.

>

> We do not have to start speculating about compromising material, or that Putin still fears Prigozhin, and his maybe 15,000 - although the figure is likely to be is rather smaller - Wagner fighters. Rather that Putin acknowledges Prigozhin was engaging in the sharp-elbowed politics that he himself has encouraged. After all, we have seen Igor Sechin set up a minister and get him imprisoned, Kadyrov repeatedly blackmail the federal centre for money, and security agencies frame, detain and possibly even defenestrate officers of their rivals. Horizontal conflict is at the heart of Putin's system.

>

> Of course, Prigozhin overreached. He needed to be punished, he needed to lose the opportunity to repeat this exercise, and he needed demonstratively to be banished from the blessed confines of Putin's circle (not that he was ever that close to the personage in reality). However, so long as he’s useful and so long as Putin accepts that he is true to the fundamentals of today’s neo-mediaeval Russian politics, then there may be a place for Prigozhin after all.
I agree. Axum feels really raw and I understand some folks like it, but it's more of a microframework in that regard than something like Rails, Django, etc.

To me, Rocket has always had the best ergonomics to get going and Actix with macros is a close second.
I do find it interesting how little in the larger AI art conversation the idea of borrowing already exists in various art forms and each art forms unique culture of accepting this comes up.

In folk music for example, performing someone else's work is not disparaged at all historically. It was common for most musicians to travel around and teach each other songs.

In pop music we see sampling has increasingly become a major part of the art, and only really controversial when someone tries to avoid paying the original artist their fair share (which is itself a topic of debate).

In the visual arts it's much different. There is of course the famous Picasso quote: 'Good artists copy, great artists steal.' But even in the tone of that quote you can tell there's a different cultural acceptance of reusing work.

Writing is tricky because referencing or quoting another author without attribution is a common feature of "high brow" works. T.S Eliot for example borrows heavily form past authors, often without attribution, but assuming an audience which knows enough to not require attribution. However at the other extreme you can get in trouble for plagiarizing your own work.

Personally I think Diffusion models and LLMs are just bringing up an issue in the visual and literary arts that was already forced to the attention of musical artists during the rise of early hiphop djs who showed that you can genuinely create something new nearly entirely by cut and pasting existing works.

One thing I would point out: It seems to me that copying/borrowing/reusing are equally present in all creative fields, they just are willing to admit it to different degrees.
I’ve worked on code bases like this. It is a parody, but it’s not too far from reality.

Reading my original post i probably shouldn’t have said it’s how you should do it. I mean that lots of engineers created loads of pointless complexity with OOP
> but languages like C/C++/Rust would not have pretty code because it does not have yield

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but Rust has native generators with yield: https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/unstable-book/language-featur...

C++ also does using coroutines + co_yield (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/coroutines#co_yie...) or iterators (old syntax).
If it's a well known company, I've found sites like levels [1] to be very informative and accurate. Otherwise I always just ask in the initial calls, no reason to beat around the bush. If you know what you want, you can ask what the salary range is and decide if it's worth it from there.

Because the marker is relative. What’s crap pay to you is a golden opportunity to others. Experience is relative as well. They may not have the experience and the company doesn’t care about that, only to fill the seat. Don’t take it personally.

Haha. I love it.

Yes. Because AI hasn't changed the world in six weeks, that clearly shows it will never change the world.
This depends on the model being used, if you're doing anything which isn't English, you pretty much need large, and that needs considerable resources.

Don't know who built this site or how old it is, but the UX is definitely sub-par compared to many other server-rendered sites. Submitting a form and losing the scroll position doesn't happen in every site, even if the page gets reloaded. And the font thing is more of a CSS problem than a SSR/client-rendering problem.
I had a brief period of thinking it wasn’t as impressive as I thought, but came to realize that it’s still an incredibly useful tool for research and discovery, and occasionally debugging or loosely architecting code. I’m sure for others it has genuinely powerful and useful capabilities.

If you want it to do your job for you though, you’re going to have a disappointing time.

I almost think of it as a helpful method of finding what work I should do. It doesn’t really do any of the labour for me. Like if I want to find research papers about x, it’ll find things really well and make interesting connections between papers I otherwise might not. But I won’t rely on it to condense the papers or surface important details; you really still need to do that legwork. Same with code. It can give broad, loose, useful suggestions, but you really need to write it yourself. That’s fine with me.
I'd say you should observe more. I've lived in multiple countries and have zero desire to seek out members of my default peer group. I frankly do not understand people who move abroad and then want to spend all their time hanging out with other expats.

Gartner calls this phase "the trough of disillusionment" - it's just part of the hype cycle. AI is overhyped, like almost every new technology is overhyped. Now people are realizing AI isn't all unicorns and rainbows. However, there are some of us, myself included, who were curious and are discovering what these tools are really good at and where they come up short. AI is a tool, a technology - not magic.

Law #5: "Crash standards" that have steadily increased the width of the A pillars, at great cost to visibility. With the details and that picture of the intersection, I don't see how this couldn't have played a part.

I bob my head side to side when making turns, and even then I'm surprised how well those pillars are able to hide people.

Also FWIW in one of the news articles there the driver in the right most lane is quoted as saying they waved to the pedestrians to go. This was likely a contributing cause too, as people have a tendency to process "go ahead" from one party as if it reflects the whole situation. I've seen many near/crashes due to this phenomenon. (The pedestrians had the right of way and obviously they shouldn't have had to dodge oncoming traffic, but it would have helped)
Statistically likely answers are not necessary the correct ones.
For me this translation is extremely easy to understand:

What is the maximum amount I can pay in cash?
At this time, you may pay for all purchases in cash. For cash purchases above € 10,000, the seller must conduct a customer due diligence. But not all sellers accept cash. The cabinet is working on a bill to ban cash payments from € 3,000.

Pay for purchases in cash
At this time, you may pay for all purchases in cash. It doesn't matter how high the amount is. A seller can decide not to accept cash above a certain amount. Or not accepting cash at all .

Customer research for purchases above € 10,000
Do you make a purchase that costs more than € 10,000 and do you pay in cash? Then the seller must conduct a customer due diligence . This check is mandatory to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

Bill cash payments up to € 3,000
A bill is being drafted to ban cash payments from €3,000 . This applies to all buyers and sellers of goods. When the new law comes into effect, you may no longer pay for purchases from € 3,000 in cash.

Cutting back brush and putting powerlines underground doesn't help people evacuate during a natural disaster, it just removes two ways a single type of natural disaster can spread.

Everyone living in an area needs enough space to evacuate fast enough to get away from natural disasters safely. It doesn't matter if there's a downed power line when no one can get out due to gridlock even in the best case scenario. Everyone's gotta be able to get out fast enough.
People will inevitably continue to train models as they see fit. Nothing can stop that now. Creativity is a set of algorithms that can be mimicked, learned, and reproduced by a machine. Holding onto a deep-seated preference for humanism is limiting your perspective.

Works should be judged on their own terms, not their origins. And in the near future, the lines between human-created art, collaborative human-AI art, and solely AI-generated art will blur. The point is, soon enough, you will not be able to tell the difference between art created solely by humans, art that is a product of the combined efforts of humans and AI, and art that was made solely by AI.
I would use Bing as my search engine if Microsoft didn't have Bing chat locked to Edge or Chrome.

I use ChatGPT almost every day and use it to work out ideas, improve my writing, or even just for general queries. But the reality is that even though they charge for it it's not a product.

I think these chat bots are fantastic even though they are locked down and often kind of saccharine. I can't wait for this to become an actual product like a smart speaker or computing interface (like the Star Trek computer).
>"I actually really don't like getting text messages that end in periods because it always feels so harsh and passive-aggressive," said Juan Abenante Rincon, 24, a social media manager for Adidas. "Like, are you mad? What's going on? Like, did I do something wrong?"

What level of neuroticism is this?

¨In other words, enough to send a chill down anyone's spine.¨

I say again, what level of neuroticism is this? If folks are reading that much into a standard element of grammar, then maybe the grammar isn't the problem.

¨Klin said the entire debate demonstrates that language is constantly changing — and that's OK.¨

Language exists to communicate ideas; if a change makes things harder to communicate, it's a bad change. Change isn't inherently good.

If hundreds of millions of people are using grammar one way (and have been for a long time), and some young adults come along and _misread_ that grammar, the worse course is to tell the 100s of millions to change their behavior.
The other option is self-built.

But that's been roughly the way things have always been.

What's changed is the creation of a middle path of "built to sell" homes.
Yours is probably the better suggestion; however in the world we live in i fear its actually about as unrealistic of implementation as mine.
Its terms of use of the site, you are offered use of their geneator in exchange for agreeing not to use it commercially. If you use it commercially, you are breaking those terms, which they will argue are an enforceable contract. Copyright has nothing to do with it.
This may seem like I'm being dismissive but I don't want to work anywhere. I work because I have bills that need to be paid. I don't derive enjoyment from making other people wealthy. I legitimately cannot think of such a state as enjoying work nor enjoying working at any given company in particular.

Do you, and if so how did you cultivate that? If you don't mind answering.
Funny, because AI has seen plenty of applications before ChatGPT, yet "the oncoming train" in most peoples heads is "this is going to completely replace artists, programmers, etc"

This is what is laughable, and has been from the very beginning. Will we _continue_ to use AI to try and find novel drug treatments? Yes. Will chatbots still be the first thing a customer support flow uses (and will it still suck)? Yes.
That's certainly a challenge to navigate, but not an excuse to completely throw your intelligence away. If a road sign clearly pointing off a cliff, don't drive off the cliff!

The core question of this subthread was what, if anything, the effect of only having a de facto logging solution was on a language community. The community easily coalescing around a de jure solution (and for a different problem with a significantly smaller API surface) is not really relevant to that.
It already practically does. You just pay the fee to sufficiently high-powered lawyers. Or spend the money to incorporate, where your actions can be divorced from the consequences and maybe you pay whatever the actuarial cost of a human life is.
