When prompted to change something in particular, even if they get it right, they often mess up something else.

I have no solid advice for you, but this particular issue is easily solved with “inpaint mask” mode. https://stable-diffusion-art.com/inpainting_basics/

Edit: If you’re fine with anime-ish looks, you can take some simpler anime model because it will be easier to vectorize. E.g. “visual novel” on civitai, or just use a detail lowering lora. You can img2img the result back with normal model later, if you want.

Also use controlnet and optionally 3d pose editor to create main poses.

From that point of view, it is probably in TSMC's best interest to not hand over their IP..
Can they not solve this problem? This shows the lack of creative problem solving that is widespread across companies. They've known only one way to work and they're convinced it's the only way, when in theory there is probably multiple ways of achieving the same amount of productivity, and it's probably just a shift in work ethic and culture. This is of course assuming the work can be done remotely, like any job that has digital deliverables and meetings can be done online. All the pieces of the puzzles are there.
The title is moronic, the content reads like it is written by someone completely out of touch with reality.

Let's start at $1B. I cannot think of any earthly reason a single individual needs more than $1B worth of wealth. After all, the US presidency apparently only costs $250M to buy.

I would fully support a 100% wealth tax for everything over $1B.

Now, of course, the implementation of such a thing would be enormously complicated. There are a million places to hide your wealth, squirreling it away behind shell companies and dark LLCs which you or a designated agent are a controlling member of.

But in concept, I cannot fathom why a human being could possibly say, "You know, $1B really isn't enough for <this>."
Yeah that's what I meant, but you expressed it more clearly.
Take the longest any human being has ever lived, subtract the age of the given person, multiply that many years by the the top 1% of US income, everything over that at the end of the year gets taxed at 100%. Reasonable place to start?
How Hans Bethe Stumbled Upon Perfect Quantum Theories
The American people voted explicitly for massive federal government reform. Those benefitting from corruption in the federal government, media, and NGOs are loudly fighting, but they are a small minority. We need an accountable government.
I don’t know if the transpiler approach really helps when you still have to be aware of the underlying database engine. I’m fine with choosing something like PostgreSQL and writing code optimized for its specific SQL dialect.

But I’m not sure I want to deal with a transpiler that still suffers from a leaky abstraction. It starts to feel a lot like using an ORM. ORMs promise database-agnostic syntax across different engines, but that promise falls apart when you need to optimize a query and suddenly realize you must account for engine-specific features—like PostgreSQL’s BRIN indexes.
> But "compatibility" needs to be defined precisely.

Compatibility is defined precisely! You're definition requires scare quotes. You want to define it "Precisely" so that you can permit incompatible behavior. No one who cares about compatibility does that, it's just an excuse.

Look, other languages do this differently. Those of use using C99 booleans know we need to include a separate header to avoid colliding with the use of "bool" in pre-existing code, etc... And it sort of sucks, but it's a solved problem. I can build K&R code from 1979 on clang. Rust ignored the issue, steamrollered legacy code, and tried to sweep it under the rug with nonsense like this.
Not hating, just describing.

And to be fair though, the players do make the game too.

Wow, I thought OpenOffice was new software written as an alternative to Microsoft Office.

Actually the history goes back way further. If anyone's curious:

- First release of StarOffice was 1985. It was a closed source commercial word processor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarOffice

- Sun, now Oracle, bought StarOffice in 1999 and released it as OpenOffice the following year

- Oracle bought Sun in 2010, and the community fragmented because nobody trusts Oracle

- In 2011 LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice

- Later that year Oracle gave up on OpenOffice and gave it to Apache, but that version (Apache OpenOffice) is an orphan that nobody maintains anymore.

So yeah, there's probably still LibreOffice code that dates back to 1985 in some form!

Not 'bad' really, but it's clear that in this plot the all-to-human morality tale takes precedence over what's actually possible in the physical world.
Also it is very common to think that once you achieve X you will be happy and maybe you will be for a moment, but then you start to feel empty again and you think now if I only had Y I would be happy in a never ending cycle. It is human nature.
This is correct. IRB will be simple is not the same as not needing one.
Do I see it happening in the next five years? No.

Ten years? Maybe. But our workflow will have changed to accommodate AI being the primary code generator.

Twenty years? The new workflow from ten years will be standard and AI will be able to competently do all code generation.

Will AI replace software developers? Yes, and many of those developers will have transitioned to new work driving the new workflow.

By the time AI is ready to replace the developers driving the new workflow, then there's very little at that point that humans can do, and AI can't, without assistance from humans. In other words, replacing software developers isn't our biggest problem because by the time AI can do that, nearly all humans are replaceable.

But you can still use gets() if you're using C89 or C99[1], so backwards compatibility is maintained.

Rust 2015 can still evolve (either by language changes or by std/core changes) and packages can be broken by simply upgrading the compiler version even if they're still targeting Rust 2015. There's a whole RFC[2] on what is and isn't considered a breaking change.

You should click through some of the links to see where the clashes actually happened. It didn't have anything to do with the actual hardware support. Rather, it was over stupid shit like the kernel DMA team throwing a hissy fit over the idea of there being Rust bindings for the DMA interface: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250108122825.136021-3-abdiel....

When the response to such a small contribution is just "No rust code in kernel/dma, please" with a complete shutdown of any attempt to discuss alternatives, it's kinda pointless. Even though Rust is supposed to be an allowed language in the kernel now, with blessing from Linus himself, there's apparently just submaintainers of critical, highly shared infrasture that outright refuse it.

So this has nothing to do with "who will own the Apple drivers?!" but just the rest of the kernel going "your integration layers are an affront to our Holy C, begone religious heretics!"
The other is the US military one 14FEB2025,yes? That and ISO are all we need.
I've used powerline gear twice, both for similar applications.

In the first instance, someone wanted wifi in their detached garage at the back of the lot. A couple of randomly-selected powerline adapters and an access point later, and that rig worked reliably for them for over a decade.

In the second instance, someone else wanted wifi in their detached garage at the back of the lot. A couple of randomly-selected powerline adapters and an access point later, and I couldn't make it work at all.

The main difference between these two was that one had power fed from the house's main breaker panel, and the other had power fed directly from the same transformer that the house was using but it had its own service entrance (and meter).

This anecdotally suggests it can work, and that security is inherently enhanced by not allowing the neighbors to poke at it at all (if I can't use it because there's a transformer on the loop, then the layperson next door can't use it either).

However: At my own place with my own detached garage at the back of the lot, I just use some fairly minimum-effort wifi. I've got a Mikrotik access point in a central spot in the house, and another one in the garage that acts as both a wifi client and a wifi access point (and an ethernet bridge).

Works fine. Speeds are in the >100 megabit range in both directions, which is a whole fuckton of bandwidth for anything I intend to do out there.

If the garage were far-enough away, I'd enhance this by mounting the requisite mikrotik hardware on the outside walls instead of the inside walls. If the garage were way, way out there, then I'd use different mikrotiks with directional antennas to backhaul, and additional radios indoors for wifi coverage.

If I had more than one outbuilding, then I might use a one-to-many topology with an omni at the house and directional antennas on the outbuildings.

(I made an extra SSID that was just for the garage to keep the dumb devices out there from wandering onto the house's access point for whatever dumb reason they elect to do that, but meh: They'd still do dumb shit like that even if I were to string fiber.)
Estonia and Poland both spend more as % of GDP than the US.

The US also spends less than the amount designated by the UN on foreign aid.

America also spent less than Germany in % of GDP in the World Health Organization funding.
1) There is a group of voters, typically younger men, who would very much want to see things burn to the ground. A form of nihilism of outlook.

2) People never want the bad things, which is why voters tend to ignore information that tells them that things will be bad.

People didnt realize that Biden had stepped down after the election. Voters were not aware that Obamacare and the ACA are the same thing.

Information that this was going to happen, was shared, repeated and told over and over again.

This is basically leopards-eating-face territory.

Sugar coating it, leaving people berefet of their own authorship of their life, of their choices? I have no idea how that results in anything other than a way to feel nice about each other.

The Milwaukee is smaller and lighter than the drill, even. It's amazing. And it has adjustable torque, which means you can use it for drywall even without punching through the paper.

And putting in metal roofing or walls without hammering the rubber washer on the roofing screw is amazing. You don't even have to think. Set it to torque setting 1 and forget about it.

I'm not protesting at all, I take a bit of delight in my apps that are no longer supported. Listening to iPhone owners lament "old-school" software and "lost media" is music to my ears. It's irony amped up to a palpable level.

My broader point is 1) it's not unmaintained until Apple says so and 2) it's only unprofitable once the App Store deems it is. Both of those are arbitrary decisions that justify nothing, even with profits as the context, which is why you are being downvoted.

What Apple "doesn't want" is people coming up with justifications against their arbitrary fees, case closed. No need to blame the developers and implicate yourself as a victim, that's an embarrassing dog-and-pony show that hasn't been fresh (let alone acknowledged by Apple) since like 2012.
As explained in the article there have been significant additions to the Wayland protocols during the last 3 years, which have been necessary to fix the author's complaints.

These protocol changes appear to count as changes in the fundamentals of Wayland, because the older versions were incomplete, since features that were considered essential by the author were impossible to implement with the then-existing Wayland protocols.

In general, I think that there is no doubt that Wayland has been very badly designed in the beginning, so its fundamental features have been bad, because for many applications it has become usable only after many years of additions and changes, which have resulted in a quite different Wayland than in the limited vision of its creators.

Wayland still has fundamental choices with which I do not agree, so it is unlikely that I will ever switch to Wayland. For instance, I do not want a GUI application to touch anything outside the client area of a window. I want everything outside that area, e.g. window frames, decorations, titles, buttons, menus, etc., to be drawn by the window manager, so that they will always have an identical appearance and behavior, regardless which application is run in that window and regardless what the application does.
> we, American citizens, will never receive anything like that amount of aid

21% of the federal budget goes to Social Security (aid)

16% goes to medicare (aid)

10% goes to other health spending (probably at least partially aid -- edit: further research shows that of this, around 90% is some kind of aid)

7% goes to income security (aid)

4% goes to veteran services (aid)

3% goes to education, training, employment, and social services (aid)

1.5% goes to natural resources and environment (aid)

1% goes to community and regional development (aid)

1% goes to foreign aid

We are already spending a huge portion of our budget on various kinds of domestic aid, the majority of it in fact.

Edit to add, data from 2024, source here: https://www.usaspending.gov/explorer/budget_function
Absolutely. Something is different between the very-very-remote worker and the remote worker and the news will do anything to keep from making that comparison.
Smallweb also allows you to run server-side code using deno. The main process watch for changes in the app directories, and automatically restart the corresponding deno processes when a change is detected.

How is that relevant? The question was whether the resolution figure in the survey is hardware resolution or software settings, and it's the former.
We're on track for TB to become a problem again, even in the west. Global eradication efforts were put on massive pause during covid. Some governments are downplaying the issue to appear on track to meet arbitrary eradication deadlines. It's been cropping up around North America. Just as a reminder, there isn't an effective vaccine (BCG is not what we would consider a modern vaccine). Current treatment regimen is 6 months daily antibiotics. Throw in any complications (paradoxical reactions, resistance) and get ready for that to become much longer.

I had watched a loved one suffer from this disease. The pills were huge. Waiting too long to start treatment causes a lot of complications. These aren't well understood, given the massive TB funding deficits. Even when the disease is cleared from your lungs, it leaves plenty of things behind.

If you or somebody you know is coughing persistently for weeks, losing weight, has evening fevers, just get the quantiferon gold test. Be persistent with your doctor, just mention past TB exposure. Your insurance should cover it. Don't wait around months trying to look at every other avenue. It'll look very similar to aspergillosis on x-rays.
> a loving, trusting and attentive relationship with their primary care giver

If you grew up without this, you would not be able to avoid noticing how seemingly effortlessly the people around you have adjusted to adulthood when it can sometimes be a struggle to get over your fear of interacting with other people when you go to the grocery store. Not saying your skepticism is invalid but I would suggest to consider that perhaps the above is a privilege that not all enjoy and what injurious effects its absence may have. You may wonder about those close to you who seem to have trust issues: did/do they have a good relationship with their childhood care givers?
Yes, given the new health secretary, it's likely to be much more than 100x worse, if the money is redirected to any sort of positive end at all.
It's not charity, it's a need that will be fulfilled by someone anyway. China is already offering their funds for everyone affected by USAID shutdown.

> However, exceptionally, for Rust, a subsystem may allow to temporarily break Rust code. The intention is to facilitate friendly adoption of Rust in a subsystem without introducing a burden to existing maintainers who may be working on urgent fixes for the C side. The breakage should nevertheless be fixed as soon as possible, ideally before the breakage reaches Linus.
Yeah, this post reads like “socially awkward guy discovered the mechanism by which the rule of law is a sham and always has been” to me.

100% this. Yes, Hector went nuclear, but he begged Linus to step in and provide leadership (either merge or reject) and instead Linus ignored the whole technical issue with regards to rust being totally blocked.

Even now with Hector out of the picture, there’s still no suitable path forward for rust in Linux. No wonder why people are giving up (exactly what the blockers want).
Apparently something that can replace docker or build on top of it. Buzzword here once again.
> As an analogy, driving a car is dangerous. Whenever I drive, I could easily kill someone. But the government doesn’t force me to submit a driving plan any time I want to go somewhere. Instead, if I misbehave, I am punished in retrospect. Why don’t we apply the same policy to research?

"We" decided that Tuskegee was bad enough that it should be stopped before harm is done, and that there is no appropriate or sufficient "punish[ment] in retrospect" for the fallout.

The government makes you get a license to drive at all, then "drive a Pinto" versus "drive a Trabant" are similar enough that they don't require more info. They require you to get different licensure to drive a bigger truck where you could potentially cause more harm, or to drive an airplane. In this analogy the IRB is the DMV/FAA/whatever, and you're asking for permission to drive a tank, a motorized unicycle, a helicopter, an 18-wheeler or a stealth fighter. You don't get a Science License rubber stamp because that's like getting a Vehicle License - the variation in "Vehicle" is big enough that each type needs review.
> No agency would voluntarily modernize systems

This is speculative based on an idea that you have about what must be true. It can be shown to be untrue by one example: NASA, NOAA, and other agencies now host applications and data in a cloud environment. Before this, they were hosted at various NASA data centers. You can now search for, download, and operate on data in the cloud. In contrast, twenty-five years ago someone was required to order a physical magnetic tape. They could have kept those systems running, but they didn't.

I don't know of any reason why having some convictions should prevent you from running for political office. That would make it too easy to prevent your political opponents from running for office in any system where there is some political influence over prosections. That is exactly what happened to Trump! His so-called "felony convictions" were for misdemeanor offences and it was a transparently politically motivated prosecution. It likely backfired and helped him get electes.

Why would you need such a rule anyway? If the convictions were disqualifying, the candidate would be unelectable. It is up to the electorate who wins the election.

He certainly hasn't done anything I am aware of to deserve to be in prison for years.

I don't see any evidence that he is ignoring the constitution. Do you apply the same standard to every president or governor that has signed blatantly unconstitutional gun control legislation? People test the boundaries of the constitution all the time. When Trump does it, he is held to a different standard.
