In practical terms, a more convenient way to achieve this is just printing the document to a PDF, which rasterises the visible layer into what the printer would see. Most pdf tools support this.

Now first of all, women below the age of 18 are children. Feels strange to actually having to spell this out, but okay. More importantly, you seem to know an awful lot more than anybody else right now, or how would you be so certain?

I don’t think I expressed a particular opinion here, I just stated where the suspicion comes from. That being said, I think we can demand a level of due diligence from public institutions that entails only censoring actual victims on actual

There is a picture of Bill Clinton with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross that was just publicly available before: https://www.threads.com/@meidastouch/post/DSfEKJslM1H It doesn't belong into the Epstein Files,

Sarkozy is the whiniest bitch imaginable, and then he even has the gall to write a book about his prison experience. Someone wrote in Le Monde, "it's like a man writing a feminist essay because he emptied the dish washer once&quot

Very unproblematic. Your travelling back will land you in a freshly branched universe with no way back to the one you came from, so no worries there.

Fair enough. To someone with a background in biology, it sounds like an argument made by a software engineer with no actual knowledge of cognition, psychology, biology, or any related field, jumping to misled conclusions driven only by shal

They don’t understand anything, they just have text in the training data to answer these questions from. Having existential crises is the privilege of actual sentient beings, which an LLM is not.

You, and OP, are taking an analogy way too far. Yes, humans have the mental capability to predict words similar to autocomplete, but obviously this is just one out of a myriad of mental capabilities typical humans have, which work regardles

The yearly release cadence annoys me to no end. There is literally zero reason to have a new CPU generation every year, it just devalues Mac hardware faster. Which I guess is the point of this for Apple, but still.

I would argue the reason the early web is a good memory now is that it was only used by a handful of nerds back then. All that encryption is there for a reason, and simplicity gives way to complexity because the internet of today has to ser

I always wonder how people make qualitative statements like this. There are so many variables! Is it my prompt? The task? The specific model version? A good or bad branch out of the non-deterministic solution space? Like, do you run a prope

So it is the Zionists for you. I should have guessed so.

No, that's what I was getting at. Thinking "they" are in charge is actually very widespread, with varying opinions on who "they" actually are—whether it's billionaires for you, the Rothschild's for others,

I know its satisfying to think of the government as some singular nefarious entity, but the reality is far worse: There is no one in charge. It’s chaos all the way down.

The point I am making is that the reason artefacts of highly automated production (even with minimal human labor required) will never become accessible for very low human labor, because all that automation has its own cost. We can externali

by 9dev 10mo ago
It doesn't matter much how exactly those costs are passed on; someone has to eventually pay for them. That includes the energy itself, which doesn't come for free, but also the bill for environmental damage and resource exhaustion

Another one for the graveyard!

by 9dev 10mo ago
You're completely omitting externalised cost, though. As it stands, all this production requires gargantuan amounts of energy that have to come from somewhere, and cause pollution and waste that must be accounted for. As long as these

Maybe it’s just me, but these sample workflows don’t look less complicated, just another kind of complex? If you’re already heavily using CUE in your project this lateral complexity shift might make sense, but I don’t see why I would start
