I remember about this being posted about 3 month ago (the product, not the link. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36573437 ). Outside of a few marketing and hype terms, the website was so dry it was actually really hard

You could argue the same about other types of buildings too. You are going to a restaurant, a McDonald's, a Cafe, a Taco Bell, a bar that also serves food and so on. People make a distinction between those when they are all places to e

Exactly. You follow the link you get what is basically an image as landing page. Then you have to click on it to get to a small article/text, which doesn't tell you much either about what the actual product is. Somewhere in the te

We still have people believing WW1 and WW2 propaganda, or have a very cliché view of the middle ages for example. With tons of fact that have been debunked over and over again being spread.

Yes. Language and image models are fairly different, but when you look at dall-e 2 (and dall-e earlier) that blew many people's mind when they came out, they have now been really eclipsed in term of popularity by Midjourney and stabled

I'd say most of the time the split between legit or not is fairly obvious: - legit: focuses on "simple" builds that they usually work on for months. They also cover many topics and techniques relative to primitive life - fake

I also expect people like Chad Zuber ( https://youtube.com/@ChadZuberAdventures ) and a few other in that style to be legitimate. Basically you have the ones doing it for fun / as a lifestyle, where progress is slow and

Yes, that's also where the french dessert canelé comes from: the egg whites being used for wine filtering, you have a lot of yolks left. So instead of wasting them, they were/are used to make canelés.

Does it truly contain all these texts? It seems more like it can generate any of these texts, but they are (obviously) not pre-generated and stored anywhere. If we consider only lowercase non accentuated English characters and a few additio

This isn't what is usually meant by "technological singularity". It is an inflection point where technology growth becomes incontrollable and unpredictable, usually theorized to be cause by a self improving agent (/AI) t

Actually curious, what do you mean exactly by "doesn't perform better" in this context? My experience doesn't go as far (10-15 years), but while I agree a whole subset of softwares don't feel much different (text ed

For having played for more or less the last two months with Midjourney and Dall-E 2, and some crayon/dall-e mini, I'd say they have different content (what the image is about, ex: a winged firefighter riding a sheep) quality vs st

I am in a similar situation, except the country where I come from usually makes it to the top 5-10. I have been surprised by how poor the coverage of the Olympics is here in the US: only sports where the US have a change of medals, don&#x27

Interestingly my country (France) shows the same trend, but with a peak almost reaching 50%. It also shows that after that peak, the number of women in IT kept increasing then stagnated, while men exploded: https://imgur.com&#x2F

If interested in an other project that offers good tweaking, artbreeder (artbreeder.com) has been around for a while too. You have different models to play with (faces, anime, general, buildings, paintings etc...). Not all of them have the

I agree. I was on a big screen an some of the smaller countries were still impossible to see for me. Like some of the smaller islands are probably just a couple pixels. A dot of color or a circle around them would probably work better than

I watched it a while ago, but the TLDR is more or less that the learning styles (ex: visual learners, or auditory, reading/writing, by doing etc...) are a myth. People do not learn better when we use their preferred learning style. But

Similar situation here. When I was younger, there was plenty of these specific pine trees close to a local cinema (back in France). We wouldn't go often, but before / after the movie we would pick the shelled nuts off the ground a

The "switch/case" statement is now in too (or match/case here, even though it goes beyond a simple case statement). It had been rejected by Guido before (see: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep

Maybe I am wrong, but I think I've red somewhere that these are made to be re-threaded. Meaning when the outer layer get damaged with use, instead of changing the whole tire, just the outer part can be replaced. Not too sure how that w

For having dealt with various religious communities, mostly Catholic, you'd be surprised how little people care about what the pope / their priest thinks, especially on anything outside the sphere of religious matters. There is al

This might be very anecdotal, but in my case, outside of tech/programming topics, I feel like google results are getting more and more generic. For example, a while back I had some changes in my life and had to fill lots of paperwork.

Vivaldi has a similar option: you can pick the tab position between top/bottom/left/right. I don't think it has the tab area reduction to show the icon only that edge has, so it does take extra screen scape.
