Ask HN: Reverse engineer prompt from an AI generated Image?
As more and more blog posts I see cram in some generative AI to make their point or keep the prose bit colourful, I was wondering if it would be possible to give a model an image and retrieve the prompt back so that when that same prompt is passed to the corresponding model, it generates that image, pixel perfect.

I am wondering because that's how whole generative AI probably started with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and I am thinking if this reverse engineering of an image to prompt is explored, what it might lead to?

PS: And interestingly enough, if it is extended to reverse engineer from an answer of an LLM to what the actual question/prompt was?

I agree with your point, however in this case i think it's important to pinpoint the hypocrisy of some people.

You can't blame israel for oct 7, ask them to stop their ongoing operations in gaza, not call for the release of hostages, not say a word about the women raped by hamas and gaza civilians, AND pretend to "just want to spare the civilians population". Those people are in practice siding for the hamas, even if they deny it.
I can concur with personal experience : I learned to fly at a young age (14-15 year old) and was able to go solo and get licensed with the minimum required hours and age due to hundreds of hours of sim.

EVMole: Extracts function selectors and arguments from EVM bytecode
EVMole v0.3.1 has just been released, with Rust implementation added to existing JavaScript and Python libraries.

This library extracts function selectors and arguments from Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode, even for unverified contracts.

The GitHub page includes accuracy and speed comparisons with other tools (spoiler: it's faster and more accurate).
Hi guys, I made an App called DreamPal, now available on App Store. This is the download link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dreampal-self-discovery/id6470... . Could you download it and give me some feedback? It's totally free now.

In this App, you can record your dreams and discuss your dreams with others in the community.

Most importantly, you can interpretate your dreams and paint your dreams, which can give you more insights about your subconsciousness.

It was just released on App Store with limit download and usage. I hope get feedback from you. Many thanks!
It's absolutely pointless for us to discuss once again why Israel is considered to be practicing apartheid. It has been established by the major human rights organisations: among which Amnesty International, Human Right Watch, and in Israel, B'Tselem. That's all we need to know, if you don't agree contest those and their findings- which you can consult online.

Gold itself? or the scams it enabled due to weaknesses in its monetary qualities?

For example, coin shaving (difficult to quantify without a scale), counterfeiting (tungsten wrapped gold), fiat central banking with zero reserve (due to poor portability + above) which transfers enormous wealth from entire populations and countries to the bankers?

Or maybe its scarcity? The amount of above-ground gold doubles every 50 years (which halves its value).

That's incredibly frustrating. I'm not a programmer or computer anything (except a perpetual Linux journeyman) but my dad was a craftsman who could make wood sing, and no one appreciated what it took.

I am forever thinking of drawings I would do to enhance (for myself) some idea or note I'm developing but I can't draw, but I would never ask someone who could to do it for me as a favor.

I had a once-in-a-lifetime dog who died, and I have an idea for a triptych of 3 scenes on him I am saving up to pay someone to paint. I would never, ever say I just need an artist.

Ideas are easy. Craft is demanding. Mastery is damn hard.

And you're probably better off without reading a lot of this stuff.

Advertising can easily be a source of income without privacy invasion. Those who don't figure this out may be in for a rocky road ahead.

Google is wisely positioning itself for this new reality but it won't give up blatant privacy invasion until absolutely forced to do so.

To me, the only interesting aspect of Google's new "Topics" proposal is the ability to disable it and whether doing so will actually stop the privacy invasion madness. History suggests they will blow right through this in the same way they did "Do Not Track".

Surely noncompete clauses are mainly to allow companies to treat their employees poorly, knowing that they won't be able to get a job elsewhere. The alternative to having noncompetes is to value and reward your employees sufficiently.
I actually assumed that this was actually creating ROMs.

I wonder if you could somehow use a large multimodal model trained on all of the existing NES software machine code along with manuals, forums and videos for each game. If it's not enough training data, maybe include other 6502 software, with the platforms encoded to differentiate?

Then you get a model that can take a description of a game and maybe a proposed screenshot and generate a new ROM. You train it further by testing the ROMs and giving feedback, starting with negative feedback for ROMs that don't boot.

McDonald’s doesn’t own those small-town locations. They are franchised, typically by locals. The employer of those low-wage workers is a completely different “corporate” – one that is in tune to the local realities.

The fake agenda pushing is funny and all, but why don’t we just stick to reality? There are real reasons why non-competes are a problem. What is gained from the "But won't someone please think of the (adult) children?" narrative?
What a magnificently well written exploration.

I think the most important takeaway is that the old school RDBMS products are probably more than enough for whatever you are trying to accomplish. Query planners in these are indistinguishable from magic, as should anything that has been forged in the fires of a million production environments for a few decades.

I've been playing around with an idea that involves putting sql server at the heart of a game engine, and it is turning into one of the biggest rabbit holes I've ever explored. I thought latency/jitter would be more of a problem but it simply isn't.

It's not really hostile in this particular case. It beeps a few times when the status changes and then just displays led in amber instead of green.

It is kinda sad how much effort went into this "functionality", how much it increases the cost of the device, but selling replacement heads is their primary business. Maybe the brushes would be more expensive without the NFC reader and timers.

"A functional public transit system that’s safe, clean, and effective, is a fundamental and essential nice thing. Especially for the US, where our larger cities are basically two tiered, with a wealthy downtown professional class that relies on inexpensive labor with long commutes (without the resources to drive) who work early/late shifts."

This is horrible. HORRIBLE.
Businesses, execs, and the wealthy at large, all need to be punished heavily. There is still way too much glad handing and brown nosing happening... and Im sorry but all of the "longevity" and "mars" talk is for the wealthy too. Im pretty sure everyone "at the top" thinks two things:

1. It wont happen in our time.
2. Some rich ass hole will solve the problem for us (the rich).

A worryingly similar incident happened last year (AF011) on a Boeing 777, where two Air France pilots were fighting each others’ yoke inputs.

Not to say the Airbus UX isn’t a problem, but one of the most basic things in dual pilot flying is being explicit about who has the controls. Once that basic level of situational awareness is lost, it’s going to be hard to maintain control.
Super cool. Next he should make versions for individual states (Alaska would be amazing, maybe Georgia and Florida, or California)

“idea for a business”—which doesn’t pay its workers or value the necessary contributions to get it off the ground by having a respectful, thoughtful discussion? Mental, for sure.

Regular ccache supports remote storage as well: https://ccache.dev/manual/latest.html#_remote_storage_backen...
Hello, Thank you for replying here :)

Many of answers you replied are reasonable and good.

---------

And I just want to add more comments for others.

1. SIEVE is not scan-resistant, so that, I think it should only be applied for web cache workloads (typlically follows power-law distribution)

2. SIEVE is somewhat scalalbe for read-intensive applications (e.g. blog, shop and etc), because it doesn't require to hold a lock on cahce hit.

3. The purpose of golang-fifo is to provide simple and efficient cache implementation (e.g. hashicorp-lru, groupcache).

-> I don't want to beat high-performant, bla-bla, specialized in-memory caches (bigcache, fastcache and etc).

-> Both S3-FIFO and SEIVE have O(n) worst-case cache eviction. and it only happens when all of objects in the cache are hit, which means, a perfect(100%) hit rate in sequences.

4. when increasing contention otter sacrifices 1-2 percent

-> I think that the statement is not enough. The hit rate varies depending on the total number of objects and the size of the cache, so it should be compared relatively. for example, otter's efficiency decreased by 5% compared to single-threaded when lock contention increased (decreased efficiency makes a mean network latency higher, because it may need to conduct heavy operation e.g. re-calculation, database access and so on)

-> Therefore, in certain situations, the efficiency of a cache library may be more important than its QPS. This is not a matter of which one is better, but rather that other people should be able to choose a cache library that suits the specific needs of their application.

5. ghost queue : honetly at that time of writing the code, I didn't deep dive into the bucket table implementation, it may not work same as actual bucket hash table (see here: https://github.com/scalalang2/golang-fifo/issues/16)

Exactly, and I don't understand the line of thinking that led to the "well let's just have both pilots have the controls" decision.
Another 100% (dangerous) anecdote: once upon a time, a boss of mine took me for a flight in his Cessna. As is tradition for him, he let the passenger up front to control the airplane in the air for a minute or two. Apparently, he thought I was good enough when controlling the airplane in the air that I should attempt a landing. As I was young and dumb, I obliged and successfully landed the airplane. Even have video evidence of this happening which is a fun ~10 minute video of me lacking composure while landing my first airplane.

And yes, I attribute this to me spending 1000+ hours in various flight simulators since I got my first computer. And also yes, I know this was reckless and dangerous.
books that have less errors per page generally do not contain factual information

I understand rules if I know them. If I don't understand them I don't know them. You're making a weirdly pedantic distinction.

For example here's a rule:

* The king must always stay between the guards. If a move would end with the king not between the guards it cannot be performed.

How can you "know" that rule but not "understand" it?
In my experience finance bonuses are much less guaranteed than in tech. You don’t calculate your bonus as part of your compensation until it happens, because it’s so performance based that “no bonus” has a reasonable chance of happening.

So garden leave amounts to a bad performance year without having to work, which is a pretty reasonable trade off. At least it always was for me.
I guess the difference is that sccache supports cloud storage (S3, R2, Google Cloud Storage, el al) out of the box while cache doesn't, as far as I can tell.
to me its because there is sign up in and out. but there is no log up. for me it brings consistency.

I agree the md editing story for non-dev contributor is not great.

You can try a git based CMS like Tina, they have a Docusaurus starter/example.

StackBlitz web publisher is also a good solution, allowing you to run Docusaurus directly in the browser in a very simple interface allowing you to commit or send PRs easily. No need to install nodejs locally, and you get a real preview.
Smart. Well good luck then, hope the project goes well.
Rigid fixation on spam is an overly constrained understanding of the problem.

Email spam is a problem because it directly attacks the utility and value of the communications channel, driving people to other alternatives (or none at all in some cases). Similar issues exist with telephony abuses (robocalls, scam calls, spoofing, privacy invasion and sruveillance, etc.).

In the case of group discussion / social / microblogging platforms, a key dynamic is the nazi bar problem (let one in and you're now running a nazi bar), and the race-to-the-bottom dynamic of various forms of harassment and intimidation: those voices which don't feel safe talking on a platform or channel won't talk on that channel. They're denied a platform, and the platform is denied their voice.

(The Fediverse is actually under fairly sustained criticism by those voices for not having sufficient tools, policies, and/or enforcement.)

For commercial, advertising-supported platforms, an additional consideration is advertisers' sensibilities, and the fact that high-value advertising, brand-safe content, and attractive advertising audiences are all factors which are dependent in large part on content moderation policies. This doesn't apply generally to the Fediverse (though individual ad-supported instances might appear within it, as with Threads). It does strongly apply to Twitter and Facebook's properties generally, however.

There's also the observation that clue flees stupidity and/or banality. The more a channel is taken over by any low-signal content (whether that's overtly abusive or not), the less that intelligent and substantive contributors will care to engage with that channel.

That again is a dynamic I've observed for many decades now online, and am coming to appreciate has a long prior offline history before that.

And also, again, these are all cases where systemic abuse requires systemic response. Your initial comment is not only naive but demonstrable infeasible. It's been tried, repeatedly, and it simply does not work.

The fact that we're having this discussion on a forum in which there are in fact system-level controls over what does and does not appear, and no individual user tools to accomplish same (bar hiding specific stories) somewhat underlines my point.
True, though I'd go by the date of the material it's specifically referencing, which is the 1972 book.
