do you have a link on how this is done? what does "fix the seed" mean? I was experimenting last night with seed variation (under Extra checkbox next to the seed input box) and i couldn't accurately describe what the sliders did. Sometimes i'd get 8 images that were slight variations, and sometimes i'd get 3 of one style with small variations, and then 5 of a completely different composition with slight variations, in the same batch.

As far as the OP goes, they claim you don't need to prompt engineer anymore, but they just moved prompt engineering to chatgpt, with all of the fun caveats that comes with.
I never saw a post being more deboosted before but this "announcement" was extremely underwhelming so I welcome it.
I find this a bit hard, the author is clearly framing this from an anti left prospective but I also think isn't 100% wrong in some of the discussion around men from the left.

However, I also think it is complicated. We can't talk about progressive policies while ignoring the very real advantages that men (largely white men, which I am one) have had for many years.

That doesn't mean that men should suffer while we work towards a more equal society. But to some degree there may be a need to take a back seat and there will be some unavoidable pain along the way especially while what you have been conditioned towards changes.

But there are pieces that I agree with. Mental health being a big one. There is still a lot of stigma around mental health for men. A lot of this comes from a toxic masculinity view (which to be clear I have seen some women contribute to this view as well) that it makes you "less of a man" or whatever and men not getting the help that they need. This does go beyond just mental health but just the idea of asking for help making it seem like you are some sort of failure.

I feel like a lot of us here are likely in a more progressive environment. I mean just Monday I was out with dinner with friends, I happened to have a psych evaluation and got my results that day and I mentioned it because I was curious about others thoughts and opinions. I can say the same thing about coworkers or even my Boss. But having family and friends in far less progressive parts of this country does make me believe that attitudes like this are still the exception in the US.

We still have a long way to go for mental health for everyone in this country and (based on my experience) there is still a ton of stigma for men and it really is ignored my the left for the most part.
I'd like for that sort of AI to generate alternate versions of shows to explore the stories where characters made different choices, or things happened a bit differently and how the characters respond. Or generate Bandersnatch-style movies where you can make choices for characters. I know the director for that movie said it was very time consuming to film all the different paths.
there are so many comments here that really feel like they didn't read any part of the announcement other than that there's a thing called runes.

For me personally I tried svelte in the past and bounced off because there was too much implicitly happening that I needed to have a deep understanding of to model correctly. This solves basically all those problems for me.

I thought your video[1] especially did a great job walking through the pros this change brings. Thanks for all your great work on this!

CUE or any other configuration language is orthogonal to whether or not a meaningful declarative provider (whether TF, Pulumi or anything else!) can be generated from a cloud provider API specification.

The only cloud that offers a really declarative API at all is Azure, via Resource Manager.

For AWS, since most APIs are request-response focused (AttachENI, DetachVolume and so forth), something has to tie all that together to make a resource-focused API.

OpenAI unveils DALL-E 3, allows artists to opt out of training
The banana image is 1792 x 1024, the hedgehog with watermelon is 1024 x 1024, DALL-E 2 does 1024 x 1024, or more if you use outpainting. The composition on the portrait and landscape images seems better than I would expect if they were just outpainted normally though.

Common issue in Ireland for DSL customers. Damaged copper cabling would leak water when it rained causing dropouts and lower speeds.

> In addition, something that is an error in a subcomponent may only be a warning or even just an info on the level of the superordinate component.

Or, keep it simple.

- error means someone is alerted urgently to look at the problem

- warning means someone should be looking into it eventually, with a view to reclassifying as info/debug or resolving it.

IMO many people don't care much about their logs, until the shit hits the fan. Only then, in production, do they realise just how much harder their overly verbose (or inadequate) logging is making things.

The simple filter of "all errors send an alert" can go a long way to encouraging a bit of ownership and correctness on logging.
10% of the richest have about the same energy carbon footprint as the other 90% of people [0]. So an average person within the top 10% emits 9x more than an average in the 90%. Call it doomerism, get annoyed, etc - these are the facts.

We could regulate the emissions of the billionaires and corporations who have the resources to go carbon-neutral, and reach the 1.5C target just with that. Or yeah, the whole rest of the world could recycle, cycle instead of using a car, go with rail instead of air travel, reuse, buy ethical premium products, heat less in the Winter, AC less in the Summer, and I'm sure we'll get part of the way to 1.5C. If only everyone would do their part, we could save the rich the trouble!

Being climate-conscious is important, but it's a very weak climate change lever to pull for the 90% of us. Let's not pretend it isn't, in light of all the evidence to the contrary.

You're describing a social function without a lucrative profit motive.

> equating political rights with social norms is a false dichotomy.

But one begets the other, no? See also all this noise from TN and FL about crossdressing being a sex offense. People are more okay with women looking masculine than men looking feminine, and now we're seeing laws that reflect that.

Similarly, because men aren't viewed as nurturing or whatever, they're far more likely to lose custody cases in court. There's absolutely tight bindings between political rights and social norms, and similarly I think there's a lot to be learned from the contrast between men and women's distinct challenges.

And, when this medical computer was manufactured (from marks on case), I already have developer documentation on secure SIM card with integrated Java, so it was possible to totally eliminate all external drives, and make "over-the-air" upgrades via GSM network, enhanced with software security running on SIM, which I think much better way of security implementation, than limit USB to storage (which is not secure now).
DeepFloyd did it, at the cost of lower quality images overall. Maybe that was because it wasn't a commercial product, though, more a proof of concept? ideogram.ai has similarly good text with higher general quality, as long as the text is short.
Is anybody aware of the specific technical reason that it struggles with words so much? There seems to be enough of a pattern to create a million reasonable hypotheses - curiosity makes me want to which it really is!

Looking at the images it's particularly interesting how it seems to have never once gotten the text correct, always just being a little bit off. Well sometimes way off, but mostly quite close.

We are using svelte for the front end, which I like and does interesting things with letting you decide what to SSR… but it’d be nice if we move to rendering things more statically with it maybe.

> So that's basically most of the lowest layers of the Xbox Live protocol as well. Simply game discovery happens over local broadcast instead of through the Live servers. There's some other specifics that change, such as logging into a host xbox doesn't diffie-hellman anymore but instead key sets are distributed by the server backends with the session information. Additionally the auth side is basically non existent on system link.

Ah, cool, there has been some similar work done before! Is there any documented resources or write-ups of the Xbox Live protocol somewhere?

Thanks!

Ok here it is. An LLM with physical senses. They mentioned sense of touch and I think that is a big deal. You can teach me all you want about a new color with all the text description available and it would be worse than just show me that new color.

In the same way, letting an AI actually touch and interact with the world would do wonders in grounding it and making sure it understand concepts beyond just the words or the bytes it was fed during training. GPT4 can already understand images and text, it should not be long until it takes care of videos and we can say AI has vision. This robot from toyota would have touch. We need hearing and smelling and then maybe we will get something resembling a true AGI.

Is this the turning point where svelte start to over engineer stuff and becomes just like other frameworks/libraries? The whole selling point of svelte is simplicity and straightforward implementation, you over complicate it, I will just use something else, popular at least.

>Do male teachers make that much difference?

You would be surprised. A boy having a male mentor is extremely helpful. Oftentimes an adult male can connect with boys in ways that an adult female might have trouble with. Teachers, for better or worse, are mentors. They are who kids spend the most time around during school semesters, and where they receive the most instruction, outside of parents.

Now don't get me wrong. Boys can absolutely succeed without a male teacher in their lives, and it's great that we have lots of female teachers. But it is absolutely helpful for a boy to have a man to look up to in some fashion.

This article makes a lot of good points about it, though its more about mentorship in general instead of male mentorship:

Characterizing competition as exclusively individualistic is I think, a very limiting and overly simplistic way to see this. There is such a thing as collectives and institutions being competitive.

Both cooperation and competition is part of the human psyche, and there is a place for competition as well (such as the refinement of personal character and development of capabilities). More problematically are such things as, exploitation, rent-seeking, status-seeking, etc. There are also problems when people in cooperation are not mature or capable enough to take care of themselves and cannot then adequately contribute, and others who contribute to the point of undermining their own health and development.

there has a to be a way to link the API from automatic1111 and a "gpt" or "bert" model, to allow similar flexibility, right? The only issue i see is training the llm on the rules of image composition correlated to what CLIP/Deepbooru sees. maybe there will be a leak, or someone can convince one of the "AI Art example/display" sites to give them a dump of images with all metadata. enough of that and this sort of thing seems like a "gimme".

I just started training LoRA, and the lack of definitive information is a burden; but following the commonalities in all of the guides i was able to get a LoRA to model a person i know, extremely accurately, about 1/8th of the time. in my experience, getting a "5 star" image 12% of the time is outstanding. And when i say 1/8th i mean i ran off 100 images, and hand ranked the ones that actually used the LoRA correctly, and 4 and 5 star ranks were 21/100 - i just double checked my numbers!
So intentionally misreading comments? I think there is something in the HN guidelines about that...
Yeah, that's another good point I forgot to mention; it's often hard to know the difference between "I haven't received this info yet but it might still come" and "I know this info definitely isn't coming at all". I've dealt with this more often in the context of a specific schema rather than in the encoding format itself (e.g. sending back a simple "success" response when relaying a message where the response will be delivered asynchronously so that the other side can tell the difference between the message or response getting lost and the message being successfully sent and the response just not having arrived yet), but it's definitely possible for an encoding format to be designed in a way where it's not clear where the message should end, and having a length prefix is an effective way to deal with that as well.

I also fully agree with the "streaming can be done as multiple messages" approach; from the discussion here, it sounds like there may be some nice use cases where having a length prefix would be prohibitive (e.g. compression being generated on-the-fly), but these don't sound like typical use cases for encoding formats intended to be used generally; if anything, I'd expect something like a gzip response to be sent back as the entirety of a response (e.g. an HTTP get request for a specific file) rather than a part of a message in some custom protocol using protobuf or something similar.
Yeah, I was surprised how "ai blobby" that image was. Guess it makes the rest of the page seem less cherry-picked? Maybe there's a trade-off in "have lots of little details" and "have uniform good quality"?

We have no "end goal". PVNI-ae-udi is intended to capture the semantics of most existing C code. I mention terminology such as "exposure" etc. just because this makes it obvious that this work builds on C's provenance model (the terminology did not exist before as far as I know). PVNI plain is a stricter subset. You can already use it in C and a lot of C code would just work fine with it. Note that some compilers people and formal semantics people were pushing for PVI.

If you think that "map_addr" etc. is an important API, then I agree that this is an innovation on top of what we did. But I personally do not quite see the importance of this API. Yes, it allows some things in the scope of strict provenance which in C would now require PVNI-ae-udi. We envisioned future extensions that prevent exposure of pointers for certain operations, but somehow this seems more academic at this point in time. If you are not using hardware such as CHERI, this does not matter. On the other hand, PVNI-ae-udi makes most existing C code follow a precise provenance model, which I think is a huge step forward.
It was more a rebuttal to you claiming that it only has explicit images going for it. Almost like you were labeling those using SD to use it only for your claimed reasons.

Very, very awesome! I love the per process table. How does that work?

CBM was a fine tool [0]. I think it's been basically abandoned though. It does only do per interface, but it seems like an earlier simpler iteration of this type of tool. It works by reading the stat tables in /proc/net/dev

I'd just throw our something I wrote a long time ago called fsbm [1] (fucking small bandwith monitor) which was a rewrite of CBM without curses. useful for logging to a file or to something without NCURSES support.

I think I'm with the author on this. The two scenarios are very different. Bold text is probably a span of text within a larger block of text: delimiting it with an opening and closing tag makes sense. A config value is a boolean switch.

This makes sense:

<element>Some text here. <bold>Some more text here.</bold> And yet further text here.</element>

This does not:

<value>true</value>

That should be:

value: true
