Literally the definition of an image: "An optically formed duplicate, counterpart, or other representative reproduction of an object, especially an optical reproduction formed by a lens or mirror."
The COBRA option is pretty nice to have available as gap coverage if you need it even if it is pretty expensive at the family level. (Of course, personally paid 100% medical insurance in the US in general is expensive--especially at the family level.) COBRA at least means you don't potentially have to switch medical providers because of a short-term switch in insurance.
I've seen them post threads in IG, and it made me go back to threads after abandoning it after 1 day
I'm doing this on a mac studio with 128gb too. I'm using llama.cpp.
Commercial UNIX was built to run on expensive RISC hardware; Linux was built to run on cheap x86 hardware.

Commercial UNIX was certified to run Big Corporate applications; Linux ran FLOSS LAMP stacks.

When x86 hardware became cheap AND reliable, and web apps took off, Linux became the better choice. The commercial UNIX vendors didn't adjust fast enough and were left behind.

And now we have a network effect, where very few developers/ engineers know HP-UX or AIX, and software is being written specifically for Linux that would have to be ported to HP-UX or AIX.
Only from the perspective of the person getting banned. From the perspective of the person paying the bills, you're paying someone to spend time explaining why you kicked them out, and then you're paying them to discuss the reasoning, and then you're paying them to discuss the reason with hundreds of users that don't think there's anything wrong with calling someone [some word].

Not only that, you're doing that to satisfy the curiosity of someone you've decided you don't want anywhere near your site. I'd be on board with your line of argument if it involved a payment of $X to cover out-of-pocket expenses and the hassle of dealing with BS.
No customers. If you get $1Bn in funding that doesn't mean you get to hire 10 people and never run out of money. You have to hire 500 people and run out of money in 5 years!

Wow this is insanely cool
Google absolutely does have some very smart employees, and their research org does amazing work. But as they've grown headcount they've certainly regressed toward the mean.
It's not that different right now you're right about that. It chains that sequence of steps together and I'm not really sending any meta data about the objects pose to SD, I just leave it up to the model. But the next step here is leveraging more control-net approaches and thats when it starts to really take advantage of 3D more than just the 2D snapshot minus background.

For example, a 3D editor to allow for simple low poly style scene creation, that then serves as conditioning input to control net. For example staging a model of a chair in a sketchup model of a living room with super basic furniture elements in low poly 3D models. You pass that into SD and out comes a fully rendered image. At that point i think you could argue that stable diffusion could be used as a platform agnostic renderer like VRAY but for any 3D modelling tool.

This was my version 1 haha
I use ChatGPT 4 with the GitHub plugin, so it "knows" what I am talking about. I let it writes some tests for me.

I'm skeptical.

The code page leads to a repository that just has a README.md saying the source code is "coming soon"

If it actually works, this is huge. I'd be using it tomorrow.

But that first demo gif strikes me as something being off.

The algorithm isn't picking up on the legs in the background painted on the wall... In the paper, I don't understand how what they've built could differentiate between a picture of someone painted on a wall and the part of the scene that should be rendered in 3D.
Copilot is like supercharged autocomplete that actually works. Writes all your boilerplate and finishes most of your lines with what you intended to write. Definitely worth its money. Using an editor without it feels like returning to the stone age.

I’m curious what type of stuff you watch on YouTube. I would pay for YT but it doesn’t have traditional TV shows or movies like other streaming platforms. I mean it does have good content but it’s quite short form and dare I say it…disposable

Bringing up Telegram in this context makes it quite funny, since Telegram users seem not to care about the safety of the contents of their chats at all in this shady black box.

We should just stop having the police cus I survived just fine without them.

At least having the option to defend myself would make me more comfortable standing in front of my friends trying to take a bullet for them. Made it easier to recover getting sexually assaulted knowing I could forcefully stop him if it truly escalated to a point where I had to.

I got banned from Twitter ages ago and never bothered to create another account. I used to not have trouble reading threads like this but among other things with "X" the UI has become absolutely impossible to use lately. I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to read the rest of this thread on Twitter itself but, if I am, how to do it is not at all obvious.
That shows how little you know about user support.

Anybody contacts it.

You did. I did. Everyone does.
Stupidity and ignorance aren’t enough to excuse liability.
Apple is blocking an entire market of technologies from its platform outside of their own implementation by abusing the fact that iDevices have a single storefront they control.

It'd be one thing if Apple made it so that the iDevices just are too technically incompatible with Gecko or Blink, but that's not the case. It's literally just a reviewer in their offices going "no, non-webkit browsers are against policy, not allowed".

Like... there, that's it. Apple is abusing their monopoly in one area (the App Store) to force a monopoly in another area (the browser market on their devices). That's textbook antitrust.
What's the opportunity here, bigger companies consolidate markets?
There is no advantage that shows up in the data to show that trans athletes have an advantage in sports.

If there were we would see trans-athletes winning lots of medals. They don't. In fact there just aren't that many athletes. This is a giant nothing-burger.

There is another argument that says trans-athletes can be disadvantaged by having a skeletal structure which their hormone system can not properly power and this is actually hinders their athletic performance. Either way as I said, there aren't any trans athletes winning medals so I don't think we really have anything to be concerned about.

As for your concern about female sports I have my doubts about whether or not you are sincere but I'll pretend you are.

Perhaps it is easier for you to think of Female sports as "a protected category for people who do not have male levels of testosterone". This is what it effectively is anyway because of inter-sex humans. We monitor people's testosterone (whether that is right or wrong is another issue) and we decide if they are allowed compete in female sport. The exact same process can be applied to trans-athletes.
New productivity service: Gift Your Goals
Hey all, I made a little goal setting service where you essentially set a goal, set a gift that you will get when you accomplish the goal, and then pay up front for the gift. When you accomplish the goal you get the gift. It's kind of like beeminder but you pay in advance and get to celebrate your accomplishment instead of be punished if you don't accomplish your goal! I'd appreciate people trying it and sharing feedback. Thanks!
Some countries had notable levels of crime because they had the combination of smart techies with limited earning potential in their home country and governments which were either ineffectual or corrupt enough that they could make a substantial criminal income without going to jail. Similarly, the reason Nigeria was best know for phishing for years wasn’t that the people were unusually criminally-inclined but that many of their talented young people had the choice between being honest and poor or wildly rich, and unsurprising some fraction chased the easy money. Anywhere you don’t have great economic prospects for a lot of people will have this problem.

This depends on the definition of what is "real".

I consider photos before the era of AI quite real.
Average Joe and Jane consumers are quite familiar with data limits, more expensive access to highspeed data, throttled data based on arbitrary stuff, etc. People may not have heard of net neutrality, but that doesn't mean the basic concepts are over their head.

"AT&T could choose to throttle your streaming data when you don't use their partnered app to watch sports on your phone" cuts through the BS pretty directly.

You’re an optimist! I would argue the Sequoia writings about SBF and the farce with Theranos indicates these people actually did believe what they were being sold.

I am a 14 y experienced sw engineer and 6 years experienced entrepreneur. Today, ChatGPT 4 does 80% of the coding for me.

Today it wrote two blog posts and generated the artwork and SEO tags for it.

Recently ChatGPT put together a thorough research on what’s the best available solar power station on the market for my niche application. It saved me a day of research.

In one year I will be a better promoter, will have better tools, and the AI will be quicker and more powerful.

There’s absolutely no way back from this.

BTW I pay for copilot too, but it helps very little compared to my blatantly suboptimal ChatGPT copy + paste + prompt workflow.
Apple has airdrop and android has nearby-share or whatever it is called.

And many apps are running their own direct wifi-wifi, tons of ways to do it. No real reason for why it couldn't be native to all devices that exist.

The problem is that airdrop only works with apple devices so that is utterly useless. Nearby-share is equivalently useless.

Hotspot works, but only in some cases. About as convenient as unpacking a laptop and sharing thumb-drives. Which is a pretty embarrassing state of affairs in 2023.
This keeps intact my perfect record of receiving negative points anytime I make a comment that's meant to be funny.
I'm pretty impressed by how Zed seems to handle the CSV overhead we typically see with standard SQL. That 'gradual slope' concept and the one-shot query without a ton of preprocessing? Pretty slick. Seeing the CSV parse transition to Zed lake queries resulting in that kind of speed-up is intriguing. Before jumping on board, though, I'd be curious to see how Zed holds up with even bigger datasets. The CIDR match and join ops are a nice touch, making it feel a tad SQL-like.
I will put it mildly. I cannot see myself working without ChatGPT any longer.

The explanation of code blocks that is great. Stubs of code for e.g unit tests or design patterns.

I use chatgpt for emails a lot. I type an email i have written and then I tell chatgpt "please soften the tone in this email".

I use copilot in visual studio but I have for so long that I hardly realise it any longer.
Your argument would be wrong. Just because a company fails doesn't mean it was a team devoid of talent.
Back in June 2022 there was a landmark decision in the Swedish supreme court (https://www.domstol.se/hogsta-domstolen/avgoranden/2022/1155...) that made the banks responsible in most of these kinds of cases. The same thing needs to happen in other countries.

I love the British comedian David Mitchell's long time campaign against this kind of bank behavior:

I think Flock Freight will be the next shutdown. Rough industry.
yes, they extorted netflix and other big providers into paying them or else they'd use the lack of net neutrality to basically delete their service. Which ends up meaning you pay more for streaming services like netflix and it's competitors.
I realize I never really answered your other question. Its tricky sticking the two sugars back together into sucrose, as heating it will generally carmelize it. After all, when you carmelize sucrose you're breaking that bond and oxidizing the glucose and fructose, so heating HFCS will ultimately yield the same thing in an oxygen environment. You'll generally need some kind of chemical process to link it together, it takes a bit of extra energy to join the two sugars back together.

Sucrose will hydrolize and break apart in water on its own, but it does take some time. Adding a little bit of acid will rapidly break it apart.
That sounds really damned cool! Kind of like image bashing without having to figure out how to use blender/photoshop or something to arrange it haha
I tried to use GPT 3.5 for things I occasionally need

- A vim script.

- CMake configuration file.

- An awk script.

And it had a critical error in every 10 LOC, that I had to fix googling.

Finally not much of the generated code was in the final version.
why does it require logging into google to use?
I understand that this is "prosecutable", but I feel like the domination of Chromium is more dangerous than their search monopoly.
Yes.

Our salary bands are competitive outside of FAANG (my previous life was at NFLX), we are fully remote, nomad friendly, and work 4 day weeks.

You can come on full time or as a contractor (your choice).

We give space to learn and do things right. Are comfortable investing in knowledge today to see compounding returns tomorrow. For example, I spent the first 3 weeks of my employment here sitting on my couch reading research papers. That paid dividens, we collapsed a 1.5 year timeline into a 1 month timeline. 3 weeks of reading research papers and 1 week of building got us to a milestone we didn't plan on reaching until a year+ into the project: we trained a model running on a developers laptop in Grand Rapids Michigan against a dataset sitting on another laptop in Yorkshire, with a fully auditable CI/CD log of what data was fed into the model.

Another example, the team decided we should do rust to cross-compile to WASM etc. from day one, so we all took 2 weeks to study the Rust Book and learn together. Now we have a subset of our p2p stuff compiling to WASM and running in headless firefox during our integration tests from day one.

Pretty flexible in every respect, just need good people who can help build this.
You can repeat that theory, or find out the truth with practice.

Do some support.

It will make you understand the world a lot better.

Hell, it will change your whole perspective on many, many things. You will be a better engineer and a better businessman.

You won't get out a few anecdotes out of it. I promise. You will get an entire field study.
Except in very rare circumstances, management team knows this is going to happen well before passing the threshold where this isn't possible.

So it's a (common) choice. They are balancing the +/- against other uses of the last bits of cash. To some degree they do it because the employee pool accepts and expects it, no better reason. If the representational damage was more acute, they might choose someone else to disappoint.

The more common problem is a "hail mary" play, where the management team is perhaps fooling themselves about the probability of success.

I think the ethical thing to do there is discuss it with employees, but that's just me.
Sure, as long as they're told why they're banned.
I disagree. If I could only have one: Google's engineers, or their deal with Apple, I'd take the former. This is an easy choice for me, too.

I think you are mischaracterizing their argument if you are suggesting that Google is saying lots of queries makes nearly no impact. They would have that regardless of their deal with Apple.
That's a very good point. There's precedent for it too.

Humans themselves are black boxes too, and yet almost everyone grows to have a good handle on limitation of individuals, both in general and specific to contexts and individuals one encounters. It's not just peer-level understanding - parents quickly learn to understand the limitations and failure modes of newborns, and maintain that understanding as their children grow.

Now human-human understanding is cheating, since we all share the same hardware architecture. But we have no problem with getting a grasp on animal behavior and limits either. Really all it takes is enough personal observation and interaction. It's like we're wired for "getting a feel" for complex systems over time.
That’s not wage based labour. You are an owner/operator in that scenario, and you fully realised the value.

The value of the fence is X and you got X.
Chrome on Android also lacks support for extensions entirely, likely because Google is well aware that overwhelmingly the most popular type of browser extensions are adblockers. There are Chromium based browsers that get around this, but usership of those is low because most people just use the default browser. Seems like a fairly clean cut instance of conflict of interest.

At this point Chromium and Blink should be spun out into a Mozilla-style non-profit, not only due to conflict of interest but also because it's a bad idea to have a single corporation in full control of software that has become critical infrastructure.
Sure, Google has some very smart employees, but so does Microsoft, who "can't compete". The reason why is the defaults and the data volume. What Google wants you to believe in this claim is that Google employees are smarter than their competitors' employees, and that is absurd.
Thank God. Almost nothing we see is trustable in the first place.
It's intensely frustrating that most big banks' branch staff are now there just to say "computer says no". They're not empowered to do anything whatsoever.

I'm exceedingly glad to have switched to a local credit union.
I love how you left out the "/author"... I'm sorry, where are we again?
AFAIK, Telegram always had the mobile phone number requirement so, no, the friction to sign up is the same.
>Regulation is a response to bad behaviour, not the cause of it.

Regulation is a means to an end. Sometimes the goal is to curb some bad behavior. Sometimes the goal is to give the appearance of doing something (like looking tough on crime). Sometimes the goal is fundamentally corrupt, such as the bans of municipal fiber networks pushed through by incumbent ISPs. Sometimes the regulations even mostly achieve their goal without much in the way of unintended consequences. But it's certainly not as simple as regulations are always an effective response to bad behavior that do not themselves cause bad behavior.
Honestly, I just don't care
if people sell it. The infrastructure that treats everyone like a criminal is so much worse than some people getting high on a drug that is broadly speaking safe for everyone. Like there's no complex physical eval to see if you can take stimulants, if you're a healthy adult with no known complications on your chart they just write the Rx. I'm not saying make it legal to sell, hell no. But until it becomes a real problem who cares?

If you must, kill the secondhand market by letting people take it for fun if they want. Has to be medically supervised just like for ADHD patients, and you pay for it all out of pocket. No one would bother going to a dealer if there was legal, safer, and cheaper way to acquire it. From what I know of coke heads it would basically kill that market overnight too because it seems like given the choice adderall >>> coke.

I will never understand why people want to take this stuff voluntarily, it's miserable. It's just my untreated ADHD is worse.
Why does it need a 3d model ? It looks like it is just doing inpainting which can be done with a single image.
