Functional programmers think this way though. Everything is data, or a manipulation/transform of data, and we can wrap functions with higher level things to track inputs and outputs and persist that.

Erlang won’t do this out of the box but it’s a menial addition to your system.

That's the most Ameri-centric thing I've read all day. I assure you that:

- There is no such thing as a "standard keyboard"

- Not everyone can type Latin alphabet

- Almost nobody can read, speak, hear or write latin, and it makes no sense to "hear latin alphabet". How do you pronounce "Bordeaux" using only your knowledge of the Latin alphabet? How do you pronounce "Queue" using only your knowledge of the Latin alphabet? You realise native speakers of various languages will pronounce words (for example "pain") and even letters (for example "w", "j", "y") very differently? Etc. My name is pure ASCII and every foreigner pronounces it very incorrectly (even though all the sounds exist in the English language already, just mapped to different letters).

- Not every country is related to the Roman culture.

I am a semi-pro artist and graduated from art school. But I had an almost 10-years break from painting. Some time ago I started painting again and decided to combine my painting and programming skills. Before launching ArtistAssistApp, I painted about 10 works with its help to make sure it's convenient and easy to use. Also, I asked a pro artist to make a few paintings with the help of the app to get the feedback. These paintings by a pro artist I used for promo videos in Instagram, YouTube and GitHub.

Your sentiment toward generative AI ("the foundation for many useful new technologies") is exactly the same that the crypto/NFT bros have towards crypto/NFT. So far generative AI has shown a couple niche use cases and a lot of surface level demos that don't actually work in the real world.

> If you are claiming that 0x0132 is a codepoint in common use or required for correctly spelled Dutch, you are mistaken.

I made no comment in support or opposition of that. I cannot talk to that as I’m not familiar with either Dutch or that letter. However there are many compat characters in Unicode and there are incredibly few deprecated ones so I was addressing the deprecation claim (and what I believe is a misuse of the term letter). You’re interpreting things into my replies that just aren’t there.

Compat characters are very useful and even if they are not stored all the time, they often show up in text processing in memory for better glyph selection.
Sorry.about.computer – New decade, new nonsense
I completely agree, talking about the macroscopic [1] universe as one thing is at least complicated and unwieldy and maybe even severely limiting. But that does not actually matter, it must be outright wrong to do so. If I can talk about the universe without splitting it up and counting things, than that undermines your position that the numbers are inherent in nature. And I agree with you that it is much easier to think about the world split up into many countable objects, but that does not make the idea of numbers inherent in nature. Maybe they are inherent in the human brain, maybe they are a complete invention, I do not really care for the sake of this discussion. Or maybe that is what you actually meant all the time, inherent in human perception and thinking, whereas I really mean inherent in the universe, predating humans.

With regard to the delusions I can only say think again. A non-wobbly stool for a human to sit on or a five-finger glove to keep a human hand warm, those things can not possibly have existed before humans. There might in principle have been a collection of atoms in the shape of such a stool or glove before humans, but they would not have been a stool or a glove. Objects as we humans use them are more than the sum of their atoms, they also capture things like intentions, usages and even their history. A tree trunk can just be a tree trunk or it can be a bench to sit on. An atom by atom copy of the Eiffel Tower is not the Eiffel Tower build by Gustave Eiffel. The human notion of an object is in general very rich, often fuzzy and inseparable [2] from the human mind.

I have no real objection to the claim that they are for all practical purposes part of nature to humans, those concepts could be hard wired into the human brain and that seems even very likely to me. So if we are limiting the discussion to the universe as perceived by humans, maybe there are numbers or at least precursors to them in our minds, encoded in the connections of our neurons controlled by our DNA. But if we step back further, if we try to look at the universe independent of the way it is perceived by us, there I do not think you said anything so far that convinces me that numbers are already exist there.

[1] As before I want to avoid also having to deal with elementary particles and given the examples we have discussed so far sticking to the macroscopic world does not seem to be a limitation.

[2] Inseparable is not the proper word here but for brevity I will gloss over that until it becomes relevant.

Well, with Erlang you really have to plan these things and implement those. Functionality (pure/immutable more-so) helps, but it doesn't pick up everything as in, it's not drop-in; it's very possible, but you have to change habits, even if you were a functional programmer before.

What is a "text encoder" and why does a text-2-image net need it?
in German there is an official convention for the non us-ascii letters, AFIK it predates computers and is rooted in germanic dialects developing differently and later stuff like non-german specific type writers, printing press machines, etc.

ä => ae

ö => oe

ü => ue

ß => ss

but one gotcha is that it's a fuzzy one way trip, some words, especially city names, can have a ae,oe,ue in their correct native spelling. Worse ss is a normal language building block in German which is pronounced differently then ß so writing it as ss is quite confusing for anyone which doesn't happen to know that it's correct spelling is with ß. To top that of some cases of ß spelling have officially changed to ss spelling over time due to people anyway pronouncing it more like a ss and getting it wrong all the time. And to some degree ß is semi-official abandoned by now.
Seeing mentions of Temporal and Erlang. Got some research to do.
> Is open source falling behind again?

My impression is there's a large open development community that has come up with some really clever stuff - fine-tuning, LoRAs, ControlNets, regional prompting, and so on. You can teach the model completely new concepts and styles at home, for <$1 in electricity.

But it's all been built on top of a base model trained by Stability AI at a cost of $600k (or at least, it would have cost that at AWS GPU prices).

And some imperfections like mangled hands, prompt concept bleed, the inability to generate clock faces and mirrors etc seem to go deep into the base model, and beyond the point that fine-tuning can fix. And there aren't many people with $600k of spare cash lying around to train a new base model.

The outputs of the open source models are great despite such weaknesses IMHO - but the costs involved mean the open source community is fighting with one hand tied behind its back.

Of course, open models will always win in some areas - like if you want to generate a picture of Xi Jinping.

Most, if not all, EU countries have laws on personal names.

> If you read /proc, you must "read" each file with one unbuffered kernel read to be free of race conditions

AFAIK, as that StackOverflow page also says, that’s not guaranteed to be possible. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/read.2.html:

“RETURN VALUE

On success, the number of bytes read is returned (zero indicates end of file), and the file position is advanced by this number.

It is not an error if this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested; this may happen for example because fewer bytes are actually available right now (maybe because we were close to end-of-file, or because we are reading from a pipe, or from a terminal), or because read() was interrupted by a signal”

I think you can avoid the “because read() was interrupted by a signal” part by not installing signal handlers, but even if that’s an option for you, that list isn’t exhaustive.

Your best bet is to pass the maximum supported number for count to the call (SSIZE_MAX in POSIX, 0x7ffff000 on Linux, and hope that the call returns all bytes.

Luckily, I think that will be fine most of the time, but that doesn’t mean /proc is a good idea.
Direct democracy also solves this issue.
A text encoder is the part that takes the prompt, tokenizes it, and then turns the tokens into an embedding [1] (an n-dimensional vector in the image (or latent image) space). The embedding is then used to "push" the noise diffusion process towards the desired part of the image space. The encoder is a net distinct from the diffusion net (and if the diffusion is done in a latent space like SD does, there's yet another net, so-called VAE, responsible for the image<->latent mapping). SD uses CLIP [2] as its text encoder.

At a high level, the SD architecture looks like this:

noisy latent -. +----------+
+------+ `-> | UNet | +-----+
prompt -> | CLIP | -> embedding -> | diffuser | -> denoised latent -> | VAE | -> output image
+------+ +----------+ +-----+
