Has Meta created something successful since Facebook? Seems like all of their success has been via acquisition. Not saying other companies aren't in the same boat, but it seems counter-intuitive that their stock price is supposed to reflect their value/execution ability when that seems to fall flat when they attempt to create something new.
I'm guessing that it's giving you that kind of image because usually photograph captions don't use keywords like "photorealistic", it's mostly when you're doing illustrations, concept art and similar, that you use it to convey it's trying to imitate a photo. So it's creating images that look like those images, rather than actual photos.

Here is "Create four photographs of a cat": https://imgur.com/a/dRlCwqy

Iteration "Make the photos more realistic so they look like pictures taken with a real DLSR camera": https://imgur.com/a/WX0LEjD

Seems to produce OK results.
Reminds me of a quote in Pi [0]:

“You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.”

Why does it have to be either/or?

Planetary GDP is around $85tn annually.

The US military budget on its own is around $1tn.

One-off mitigation costs followed by annual maintenance would barely be a rounding error on that.

They'd have the added benefit of hardening systems against hostile EMP, which is a more likely threat.
The mouse I use can charge wirelessly from a special mouse-pad. I’ve never had to think about batteries as a result. Pricey though. Combined the mouse / charging pad were close to $300 CAD
It's likely from the RLHF

Basically on A/B tests, humans tend to prefer more saturated, "punchy" images. Which is also why iPhones tend to do the same thing.

For artificial images people also seem to prefer stylized "dramatic" styles as well.

And the model was finetuned to match.
Show HN: ChatAPI – PWA to Use ChatGPT by API
I've built this PWA to use ChatGPT by API.

My main motivation was to use the API since it is much cheaper than the premium plan and I only pay for usage. The main inspiration was ChatGPT-web by Niek [1], but I was lacking time to dig into the code base to make changes.
Hence I went for a lightweight approach with Alpine.js and Open Props. There is no build step, the dependencies are fetched via CDN.

In general it was much fun to work with Alpine.js - being a parent means having very little time. So it was great to not have to invest 20h into learning a new framework. My main ask was something that gives me data binding and does not require a build step. Alpine.js was the perfect fit!

A hacky bit I'm proud of is the dynamic loading of languages for syntax highlighting with highlight.js :)

Feel free to fork, adapt and host for yourself!
Yeah, this reads like blatant xenophobia.
Any thoughts on this approach? (From the Local-First Berlin meetup in June)

I used to really enjoy my Razer wireless mouse with charging dock and ability to revert to cable.

That was until I stepped away from my computer (on my desk at home) to have dinner and came back an hour later to it being dead (mouse buttons worked, just didn’t pick up movement).

I contacted support and they couldn’t offer any kind of support, I asked if they could do a firmware reset and they said not possible.

This was about 9 years ago now and last piece of Razer hardware I ever bought.
Meta fails to realize that the initial attraction to Instagram was that it is not Facebook and therefore you can foster/curate a completely different vibe and friend group there. Now that it is becoming entwined with FB (and all their excessive moderation, boomers, etc.) people are looking for the next cool thing. Doing the same with Threads will increase eyeballs and numbers but probably not by much and will suffer the same round peg in a square hole mismatch.
There are 2 'net neutrality' items in play and are conflated and team lines drawn up ages ago.

One is the double charging of services. Buy service XYZ on the internet then the ISP says 'hey you buy or special package or ABC is throttled'. That is the one most people think of when they hear net neutrality. Or 'we have not cut a deal with XYZ no data for you'.

Then there is the 'stop the cap' ones. Where 'hey here is a nice unlimited service except when you use more than X data then its not'. 'want more data pay for more on top of your "unlimited" plan'.

Also at one point both 'sides' playing the other side. The donations flowed and the 'sides' were drawn up. I have watched this since it started. That was wild to watch. Then instead of passing laws to do it right they again are pretzelling the existing laws. Made some up and said yep thats good. Each "side" of the argument has had control of both houses and the presidential. Yet none of them got it done. Instead we are going to end up with more rubish and no real laws. Just made up interpretations that can change on a whim (and it will).

Then both sides are pretending there is robust competition and not oligopoly/monopoly pricing. When the reality is I used to be able to choose from 20 ISPs with different perks or whatever. I can now realistically pick between 2. They are then stepping in with a bunch of rules that make it even harder to make an ISP. That is by design and called regulatory capture. Not once have they talked about how to make competition more robust.
And? You go up to them and tell them to quit or you'll call the cops for indecent exposure.

We already have a pretty sane law on this. We do not need shitty blocking tools that way overreach their bounds.

And yes, anything that blocks "sexual content" or otherwise also blocks VPNs and Tor and I2P as well. Those "bypass tools" are default enabled on ALL blocking systems.
Not available via API yet, right? I've been hosting a stable diffusion instance for a while, and even with the latest SDXL models Dalle3 really blows it out the water, would love to try it out.
They also keep silently worsening their API (persumably for a moat)

When turbo-gpt3.5-instruct launched you could see logprobs of words that you had in the prompt, then suddenly one day you couldn't, because it's "not possible" or "not available" or something like that.

It's not the worst approach to it, but there's a specific change they'll end up making to their proposed UI. Currently, the time limit is applied at the moment that Discord issues the warning:

> You can't send messages for 1 hour.

This will end up needing to incorporate a timer, so that users don't just say something offensive and then go take a nap and let the ban expire unnoticed. What they have now is easily dodged and disregarded ("I didn't see the notification!" objections). Something like this:

> You can't send messages until 1 hour after acknowledging this message.

So that when they next open Discord, the timer begins once then (and not prior), while removing all deniability for having 'overlooked' the notification.
You don't even need poetry, as great as it is. Write your tutorial to include versions:

It’s a little unclear what you mean by that without further explanation. Do you mean that conceptually one selects a real number at random and then rounds that real number to the closest representable float? (And if so, which rounding mode?)
These companies made billions of dollars via fake reviews. Only now they want to launch a global coalition? This is similar to how big tech wants to self-govern AI advancements; trust me bro. I am also concerned that Amazon is trying to leverage its auto-generation of review summary technology, without ever addressing the underlying concern: garbage in, garbage out. Further, this signals Amazon is going to have access to even more customer identifying information. As a consumer, this is unsettling.
Thank you. I will adjust to that.

As much as I and other citizens of CA loathes their over reach, I'm actually in support of this because there's so many leaf blowers that run around here during the day. Most people in my bubble agree with this sentiment.

I personally have an electric blower because they're less smelly than gas blowers and easier to maintain.

I'm not too worried about landscaping pros because their existing equipment will be grandfathered into these new laws and I'm confident the market will bring equipment to pros that they'll end up preferring over gas.
I have seen exactly what you are talking about.

Some court cases in the US have said contractors with no autonomy get the same rights as employees, has anyone made that argument in France?
I think it's simpler than that.

I asked a few DiDi drivers why they only use EVs. They basically told me that oil is expensive and electricity is cheaper. It's only profitably to drive EVs as DiDis because of that.

China is a net importer of oil.

100% of my DiDi rides in Shenzen and around 80% in rural areas were EVs.
Go and the Simplest Approach: It might not scale
Using a mousepad at all is a nonstarter for me, and I avoid wireless charging generally because of the power waste that comes with it (I know, I'm weird).

Cords on my mouse and keyboard (aside from the one use case I mentioned) give me exactly no trouble anyway, so wireless stuff solves no problem I generally have.
> I thought the internet was purely a federal law domain

It is not, there are plenty of state laws that have applied to the internet. On the specific issue of net neutrality, the FCC in 2019 lost in the D.C. Circuit in its attempt to assert that state law regulations for neutrality were preempted, specifically because the repeal rested on them reclassifying in a way which means they don’t have the power to preempt state regulations.

> It looks like this law was challenged on those grounds

It was (EDIT: well, not on the broad “internet is a federal law domain” grounds, but the narrower “net neutrality regulations by the states were preempted by the terms of the FCC neutrality repeal” grounds), by multiple parties, and those challenges failed.

> but the challenge lasted until after Biden was elected and the suit dropped.

No, while the DoJ dropped its case then, the case making the same arguments by the broadband industry continued until the industry participants dropped it after the Ninth Circuit ruled (similar to what the D.C. Circuit had previously), that by reclassifying broadband under Title I in its net neutrality repeal, the FCC had removed its ability to restrict state regulations, which would only exist if it were regulated under Title II.
The most annoying wireless drawback is devices that won't work while charging. My MPOW wireless headphones are great, but when I plug them in to charge they can't play sound. Why!? It would be so much more convenient if they degraded to "being wired" while charging, instead of degrading to being totally unusable.
The stuff is tremendously nutritious.

There's a theory named the "kelp highway hypothesis," which describes how the first people to make it to America might have taken a coastal route (instead an inland route via the land bridge). By following the massive coastal kelp beds, these hunter gatherers would have been able to sustain themselves with kelp itself when no other food was available.

>also make getting rid of “that fucking guy” easier.

Very much so. An ex-coworker worked for a cardboard factory, attempted to unionize the workforce by providing lunches to workers during talk shops. He was taking liquid cannabis, had a doctors permission, script to get his medical card, only dosed enough for his aliment, and HR was aware.

Management had him take a urine analysis, supposedly workforce wide, of course failed due to the cannabis use, fired him the same day.

Never missed a day he scheduled, good guy.

Working for the city we do routine tests, especially CDL drivers, but from what I understand, they don't look for positive tests for cannabis, so I'm unsure if we're seeing a shift due to the legalization across nearly half the US, or they're specifically looking for opioids.

Just figured I'd share a perspective.

More of an archaic pronunciation, although maybe emphasized for comedic effect.

Orthography is typically more conservative than pronunciation, so when the language was written down, all letters were pronounced.

Comparing cognates can be interesting.

For example English 'night' with German 'nacht', the original English pronunciation was closer to the German one.

Or 'knife' with French 'canif' (pronounced like it's spelled, for once).

I think you misunderstood. I didn't say that leading a union isn't important. If anything I said the opposite! Leading a union is a lot of work. People who have a high profile or very busy job just aren't going to have time for it.

My memory might be incorrect, but I recall using a version of MacPascal in the early 90s, that gave you absolutely no control whatsoever over indentation - pressing tab or space outside of a quoted string did nothing at all. The editor indented automatically according to the code you typed and some (presumably) hard coded rules.
It was the most liberating thing I had ever encountered in the act of coding, and I still yearn for it.
I gave you a reply to a similar post of yours above.

In my opinion, it isn't what the government is doing to encourage people to buy EVs that is impressive. It's the fact that they can fill the demand.

I think the author learned for first time of his life that framework plugins need to keep up with framework changes.

2 years (flask 2.0 release) should be plenty for deprecation notice.
Any single vendor product that does not conform to a specification is, ergo Quarkus (was).

Now, Quarkus _finally_ got pulled into JakartaEE certification kicking and screaming, however, it has a million out-of-spec features that I see as risky and likely to break in the future... Spring Framework is now big fat and ugly for this reason!

Quarkus's initial philosophy of "Kubernetes first" really isn't such a good rally cry anymore. They've toned down on that, but it does influence the framework to this day.

I think if you program and stick to "just the" Jakarta Spec you are in good hands (which Quarkus now implements, along with other APIs). CDI absolutely rocks and is probably the easiest to write fast code for, but also make it composable so it's very testable.

I'm hoping someday the Apache Foundation (maybe the TomEE crew?) comes out with a leaner competitor to Quarkus, basically something thats "just the cdi container" and you can pull in stuff as needed.

What is the most capable LLM for summarising stuff like long educational articles perhaps?
I haven't taken a Didi since 2016, so my direct experience is way out of date, but I assume it would still be very regional. In Beijing, at least, it is hard to buy a new ICE car given the lottery, it is much easier to buy an EV. Maybe gas prices also have a role in it, but you really can't discount the lottery.

If China could drive EV adoption via gas prices alone, you would think they wouldn't have provided so many incentives for buying EVs.

Fair enough, I agree with everything. I’ve never had remote start before so I don’t know how the other OEMs do it. Climate control would be nice. I’ve had remote start straight up not work before, but I didn’t think it would be cell connectivity. I have Verizon (the Mazda uses Verizon too) and I’ve never driven anywhere without coverage so it might be a bug rather than cellular connectivity.

The lawsuits over the FCC repeal, the California law, proposed laws in other states, and the Presidential election and the expectation that the FCC would revisit the issue and readopt neutrality regulations (and that any major conduct violating the neutrality principles made that both more likely and would be specifically targeted in the new regulations) all contributed to restraint.
