Is anyone else struck by the similarities in textures between the images in the appendix of the above "Scalable Diffusion Models with Transformers" paper?

If you size the browser window right, paging with the arrow keys (so the document doesn't scroll) you'll see (eg, pages 20-21) the textures of the parrot's feathers are almost identical to the textures of bark on the tree behind the panda bear, or the forest behind the red panda is very similar to the undersea environment.

Even if I'm misunderstanding something fundamental here about this technique, I still find this interesting!
and what about oxygen use in this "clean" energy, it is not renewable if hydrogen not produced from water.
I don't believe that the covid vaccine is a mass sterilization conspiracy, so I don't really have a problem with the WEF.
The term "shorts" is also part of that and is what YouTube was trying to co-opt. In the link you can clearly see the word "shorts" being used to refer to these. Here's one from 2010: https://thescorecardreview.com/tsr/review/film-reviews/2010/...
They clearly knew that, but was joking about the dual meaning of the question mark and mā as in 妈/mother, which is ambiguous when written out in an English comment where it's not a given why there isn't a tone mark (or whether or not they intent the English 'ma', for that matter).
Do you mean directly uploading files in the UI and chatting against those files? This one will be done within the next few weeks, it's a very high value item for sure.

Alternatively, if you're talking about real time indexing to make it available to everyone immediately, there's an Ingestion API, where users can send documents in the expected format directly to the system, is this what you're thinking?

The integrations are built in house, some using client libraries of the particular tool (like the Atlassian python client library for example). We considered using Airbyte, LlamaHub etc. but we found that they don't support the full flexibility that we need, including pulling incremental updates and access permissions.
Again, Intel is a fierce competitor to TSMC, yet they are also TSMC’s customer. AMD will be the same to Intel if they can’t secure enough volume from TSMC.

TSMC’s revenue is like 70 times of Intel’s foundry business. Intel only plans to leapfrog Samsung by the end of this decade. What Intel aim to lead is the process. They plan to introduce 18A by the end of this year, followed by 14A.

China will not be cut off from the global market, only at the very high end. Nvidia just recently showcase their latest chips to Chinese market. They will continue to be a main driving force along with the US.
There simply aren’t enough people that can do the job and not that many Germans are interested in taking an apprenticeship so they can polish glass for the rest of their life.

Nope. That's mostly (I guess?) an issue in places with a lot of winter months that use salt on the roads instead of sand. It's had a bit of rust, but nothing a buzzbox welder and some steel sheets couldn't patch.
I ran some numbers. I think a typical "gold hydrogen" reservoir yields a mix of about 75% hydrogen and 25% natural gas, by volume. Hydrogen is much lighter, but much more energy dense, so overall, for such a mix 50% of the energy will come from hydrogen and 50% from natural gas. In other words, the CO2 emissions if you burn this mix will be cut in half. Basically, moving power plants from natural gas to "gold hydrogen" would result in the same type of emissions reductions as moving coal burning power plants to natural gas.

Thank you for bringing this up. I have PTSD, and that compounds with OCD and ADHD, and for years I was just sort of a slave to compulsions and trauma responses and a whole host of other things. More often than not had bad reactions to SSRIs, and generally avoided any medications for a long long time.

When I finally did start taking stimulants for the ADHD, it was magical. I was really really worried that it would cause me to get locked into obsessive compulsive cycles I was already in, and talked to my doctor quite a bit about what would work for me.

I started taking methylphenidate in 2022 and it was life changing. It was the first time that I felt I had some amount of control over my focus, whereas before I would just get stuck on whatever anxiety inducing thought I've had.

Now, I've never been more regulated, and it's never been easier to pull my attention to something else. That isn't to say that it's solved all my problems, it hasn't. I still have bad days and triggers and can still spiral out in different ways, but I'm managed to hold down a job for an entire year now.

Currently, I'm still struggling with trying to figure out what I need (in an emotional sense) at any given time. Should I have a cry? Reach out to a friend? Do yoga? Eat some food? Etc, and I'm working with my therapist to try to figure out that intuition a little.

I believe the intent is that the local climate and soil will be sufficiently altered that no laborious long-term upkeep is needed. So its not rewilding per se, but its also not purely agricultural project and parts of green wall afaik are completely non-agricultural. That also highlights the fact that the implementations of green wall projects have been very varied, there is no single formula that is applied everywhere.

But yes, it is ambitious project and there indeed are lot of questions on both short-term feasibility and long-term outlook. As is natural for a project of this kind, the financial aspect is especially messy.

Depends. Usually black if you don't know any more. Black British if you know they are British, but a lot of black people here are born in Africa or the Caribbean, and not all will be pleased to be described as British (some will take active offense, given Britains colonial past) and will prefer you to use their country or African/Caribbean depending on context.

My ex would probably grudgingly accept black British, but would describe herself as black, Nigerian, or African, despite also having British citizenship.

If you're considering how to describe someone who is present, then presumably you have a good reason and can explain the reason and ask what they prefer. If you're describing someone by appearance, 'black' is the safest most places in the UK unless you already know what they prefer.

"Nobody" uses "African British".

No, it didn't. Read Piloting Palm (you have to get a used copy, since it's not on Kindle and print is expensive).

The first Palm had only a sync cradle with the PC. It did not have any wireless, and it was a huge success. The sync cradle gave users what they wanted.

We could quibble whether all those users were "early adopters." Whatever you call them, there were plenty.

Yes, it has some effect on the company. In my opinion, lots of teams had too many cooks in the kitchen. Work has been less painful post-layoffs. However, it doesn't seem like anyone related to Gemini was laid off, and if so, it really is a no-op for them.
Brains take a lot of energy, having a brain bigger than life demands can be a liability and less fit than a dumber, but more energy efficient, variant.
Yes this. This is what I've been trying to explain to my friends.

When Tron came out in 1982, it was disliked because back then using CGI effects was considered "cheating". Then awhile later Pixar did movies entirely with CGI and they were hits. Now almost every big studio movie uses CGI. Shunned to embraced in like, 13 years.

I think over time the general consensus's views about AI models will soften. Although it might take longer in some communities. (Username checks out lol, furry here also. I think the furs may take longer to embrace it.)

(Also, people will still continue to use older tools like Photoshop to accomplish similar things.)
This is awesome however, I’m hesitant due to the pro pricing. I get it, but I’m definitely looking for something we can host that can do this for our customer support team who aren’t the best at git, or markdown for that matter, but have valuable knowledge of setup and configuration of our apps.

Any plans to just go full OSS with it and do sponsorships or OSI model foundation support? If this is yet another SaaS product then we’ll have to stick with our current methods.

Very cool stuff though. Keep going! GitHub or GitLab should just buy this for their platform.
Hispanic racism is an advanced-level topic that most of the blue-haired know-nothings aren't prepared to discuss because they can't easily construct the requisite Oppression Pyramid. It's easier to lump them in with "Black" (er, "BIPOC") and continue parroting the canned factoids they were already regurgitating.

The ideology is primarily self-serving ("Look at me! I'm a Good Person!", "I'm a member of the in-group!") and isn't portable to contexts outside of the US' history of slavery.

They'd know this if they ever ventured outside the office to talk to the [often-immigrant] employees in the warehouses, etc. A discussion on racism/discrimination/etc between "uneducated" warehouse workers from five different continents is always more enlightened, lively, and subtle than any given group of white college grads (who mostly pat themselves on the back while agreeing with each other).
This might contribute in a big way to the economic dynamism and entrepreneurship culture of the United States (and not just in tech/silicon valley). The garage (and excess/sub-standard space generally) is a big component of American housing and explicitly included in houses and touted as a selling point.

Not true in Europe and other parts of the world, where excess space can be a rarity or is improved to be living area.
I have a kobo gathering dust somewhere. I should find it. Lower intensity reading materials would help I think. I remember reading Game of Thrones in bed and I could never put it down unless I reached a Bran chapter.
It's also possible Google removed names of people who left. It's not really a research paper, more a marketing piece, so it might be possible (I don't think they would do that with a conf paper)
that being said, the ecological cost of manufacturing probably outweigh largely that power consumption at usage.
Arguably, it tends to lag, but not sure you can leap ahead much before changes are required/the changes to be addressed can be observed at least somewhat (other than just completely changing the social model, perhaps). Then social technologies can actually move quite fast.
1. Currently, we expose the status of actions (success/failure boolean), plus any additional metadata (status code, any http response header) so that you can retry (that's the nice thing about it being fully in Python - an `if` or `for` loop is easy to write). We are working on allowing you to configure the retry mechanism within the action, so we handle it on your behalf. However, for now we didn't want to be too prescriptive on what should happen on failure.

2. You do not have to worry about rate limiting calls to our service. We enqueue each request and respond with a HTTP status `201`, and our worker cluster will start processing the job. Within the workflow, 3rd party API calls can be rate limited, but for now we leave that to the discretion of the workflow author (see 1.)

3. I may need a bit of clarification on this one. Is the question whether you can provide idempotency key when making a request to a 3rd party endpoint? If so, yes you can. We have simple abstractions of common actions (for example sending a message in slack, or creating contact). However, you can always build your own custom action that sits on top of the underlying HTTP request, and therefore you can pass any additional parameter (idempotency key) in this case.
You will become fantastically rich as a founder/early employee if the startup takes over the world.

While this is still generally true for founders, it hasn't been true for early employees in over a decade. VCs decided to capture all of that surplus for themselves.

In the 90s, Microsoft support had a DJ spinnin' tunes while you waited:

https://www.wired.com/1994/04/radio-microsoft/ (check out those single-digit wait times.)

I worked there when it was still going, but I don't recall if it was employee-accessible or not. I seem to have some vague recollection of having heard it, but I might have been actually making a support call for a product.
I feel like something bad is happening and I am unsure how much of this is me being negative. I "quit" the internet in late 2018 due to severe addiction and years-long disengagement in my hobbies (reading, programming, thinking, music, art, ...) and only recently have started reintroducing it into my life, for example, catching up with what people do on YouTube, trying to get an idea of "what people are talking about". It feels like a fever dream and I am unsure whether this is due to me picking up my extremely unhealthy internet browsing habits that I had pre-2018, and I wonder whether there is a "healthy" internet that I am not seeing.

I made a twitter account recently and followed Jonathan Blow, Sebastian Lague, and 3blue1brown. I just scrolled through the default twitter page and I got karen videos, a naked woman in a car caught cheating, israeli soldiers harassing someone, a police dog mauling someone. I made an instagram account to see 3blue1brown videos on my phone and went to the default page (I assume it knows nothing about me) and I was given videos of disabled people doing sports which are clearly meant to be "funny", with extremely hateful comments apparently from children, spelling out the N-word with separate letters, etc. That was in 3 minutes of using Instagram and I gave up. I am interested in game development and a google search of "game development" gives me absurd "industry knowledge" youtube videos and r/gamedev. r/gamedev is just "meta-commentary" pointing out "societal problems" of game developers, you won't make money, noob assumptions, angry at the world, even mixing in discussions of depression, self-hate. It is a mess. Where are the people talking about neat collision detection tricks? I am aware that this is the "surface level" and I will eventually need to find and curate a variety of incoming "feeds", such as group chats with good engaged people, great forums, etc., but I just don't feel like it is "natural" to find them. I feel like I need to start a project for myself to intentionally build my own "algorithm" which leads me to find enriching content. I feel though that that is actively going against what "the internet" wants me to do. It is so easy to find such hateful things, and I am worried it will bring me back to being as depressed as I was before quitting the internet.
I love the Apple Jonathan in that landing page. Panic rocks.
Yale definitely is that. Elon Musk put it bluntly in https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1526975113597489154?lang...

Yale is the epicenter of the woke mind virus attempting to destroy civilization.

Paul Graham's response to this was:

Bizarre as that last sentence sounds, I have to say that when I asked someone with a lot of experience in freedom of speech issues which universities to avoid, Yale was the first he mentioned.

When my son was applying to colleges, Yale and Stanford were at the top of his list of schools not to consider because he didn't like DEI.

Maybe someone is finally waking up to the fact that this is becoming a long-term reputation problem for the university?

School uniform policies linked to students getting less exercise
I am not familiar, so that may be the case. However, I think the bullet use goes beyond what that linked document describes.

Sometimes the bullets include:

• A statements and a question. Why?

• Only a dependent sentence clause,

• Like this

• Which is odd.

• Sometimes complete sentences are punctuated.

• Sometimes complete sentences are not punctuated

Sometimes the lists used bullets instead of commas, hyphens, and semicolons.

Sometimes the same lists also contained explicit commas, hyphens, and semicolons within points.

The effect, at least for me, was a feeling that the format had little underlying rhyme or reason. Kind of like an ad-hoc ramble

Ask HN: SSH – authorized_keys comment field format (best practices)?
Hi,

I know about SSH certificates and we use them primarily
but we still have systems which use classic pubkeys managed in authorized_keys

From authorized_keys (5)

Public keys consist of the following space-separated fields:

options keytype base64-encoded-key comment

The options field is optional
The comment field is not used for anything (but may be convenient for the user to identify the key)

What I often find is something like this

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIN5EYh69EeIDiVYxgy6O4fUWoxiT4cRxb8JkLdikE27a user@host

which makes it hard to find out how to contact that key owner.

So I often use this format:

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIN5EYh69EeIDiVYxgy6O4fUWoxiT4cRxb8JkLdikE27a user@domain.com

Currently I am thinking about a more generic format
with more info which can be parsed later by Bash, Go or something else.

Something like this:

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIN5EYh69EeIDiVYxgy6O4fUWoxiT4cRxb8JkLdikE27a o:user1@host1|e:user1@domain.com|p:manage-vhosts|t:2024-02-21

.

Reddit's enshittification was a driving force for me as well. If fact, they might be the golden standard of enshittification: they killed there warrant canary, crap interface changes, took money from Peter Thiel and Jack Ma, ignored mod pleas for help with bots, went closed source, killed 3rd party apps and scrapers, sells user data to anyone, censored anyone that didn't parrot there politics, and finally suspended and cancelled thousands of dedicated Reddit users who protested any of the above.

> No one has the truth, neither the historical revisionists not the licensed historians

This is a common claim by those who never look.

It’s one thing to accept you aren’t bothered to find the truth in a specific instance. And it’s correct to admit some things are unknowable. But to preach broad ignorance like this is intellectually insincere.
Ownership rights and various kinds of access rights are not identical and often conflated.

For example, if I own a water well, I don’t necessarily have the rights to do whatever I want with it. Some jurisdictions might let me pump out as much water as I want, but even those will punish me for blatantly polluting it (one would hope).

What some people think of as something akin to “total ownership” — completely unlimited access — would be tantamount to putting one’s “rights” above everyone else’s. Even dictators usually have some limits on their power, whether by laws, norms, or geopolitical pressures.
The neighbor thing doesn't seem like a large threat any longer, especially with WMDs (otherwise Russia would be sweating having China as its neighbor in Siberia, but it doesn't seem like a large threat due to Russia being able to defend its territory)
