Are we so sure Intel sees this as a bad thing? The US now has even more reason to prop them up.

Won’t it just be the UK telling Cloudflare to block 4chan specifically for the UK (or we’ll fine you too)?

Probably not, but it would still absolutely crash the economy. All we “need” is food + water, shelter, and medicine (kind of). I’d guess people’s economic output doesn’t directly contribute to those.

Exactly. I firmly believe that was a poison pill put in the bill to try and eventually push insurance prices so high that Americans would acquiesce to single payer. The alternatives are the bill’s authors were so stupid they didn’t see the

I have so many game ideas that would use a small LLM built up in my brain, so thank you for this. Now if only I could somehow fine tune my life to give me more free time.

Source for that debunking? Because I sure as hell can walk into any Walmart and see it in action.

Even their abstract seems biased: "...and price increases of about 1.5 percent— or about 6 cents on a four-dollar hamburger." Ah, yes, the fabled four-dollar hamburger. I know I never need to spend more than 4 dollars nowadays wh

I agree. I can listen to a podcast in my car, there's no chance someone will cough or sneeze near me, etc. My first time being into a McDonalds since I was a kid was earlier this summer when I gave my 3 year old the option of going in

Cool. Tell that to my 35 year old friend who died of cancer last year. Or, better yet, the baby of a family friend that was born with brain cancer. You might have had a hard time getting her to hear you with all the screaming in pain she co

Unless I missed something just from skimming their tutorial it looks like they can do parallelism to speed things up with some models, not actually split the model (apart from the usual chunk offloading techniques).

You can’t split diffusion models like that.

That’s what we have computers for though - to compute.

Nah, that won’t gain you much (if anything?) over just doing the layer swaps on RAM. You can put the text encoder on the second card but you can also just put it in your RAM without much for negatives.

It may fit but image generation on anything but Nvidia is so slow it won’t be worth it.

You can’t split image models over 2 GPUs like you can LLMs.

Which very few people have, comparatively. Training it will also be out of reach for most. I’m sure I’ll be able to handle it on my own 5090 at some point but it’ll be slow going.

Why? Pretty sure the data of the past few years has shown we don’t really need a minimum wage apart from ensuring people aren’t absolutely taken advantage of. Nobody is paying just minimum wage anymore, apart from servers and the like that

Hm, I’ve always struggled with the other bottleneck - speaking. I tend to slur my words because my brain is forming the thoughts faster than I can speak. I could perhaps speed up my speech to match my brain but I’d sound like a maniac. Don’

Yeah, I’ve used mosquito dunks experimentally but we have a pond behind our house and in front of it, and a lake nearby. It’s Minnesota, after all. I did try to chuck some dunks into the ponds but they have a lot of cattails in the way so I

Do you show them on a monitor or large prints or on your phone? I’ve long thought the main “issue” with people not realizing the difference is that they’re just looking at photos on their phones, where the images are so small it’s harder to

I get what you’re saying, but I was a wedding photographer for ten years and that’s a job where ideally you’re doing both. That carried over to my personal life. Not that I don’t ever take snapshots - I do - but instead of just taking a pi

All your points are true, but primes tend to have more character as well. I’m no optical engineer so I can’t speak as to why, but it seems like they have more choices on prime design than they do on zooms.

My entire photography career I was incredibly frustrated that there was no good way to change the minimum shutter speed in aperture priority. Sure, I could go into a menu and change it from the range of 1/60 or a second to 1/200

I live in Minnesota and the struggle is tough. Either my yard is completely unenjoyable for the family due to mosquitoes and deer flies some years or I kill 50 insects that I don’t want for every one that I do. I put up deer fly traps every

Yeah, it doesn’t imply you did something wrong. However, the “attack” is against the institution they get a loan from, not you. You didn’t give them money under false pretenses. You had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Eh. My 3 1/2 year old daughter woke up from a nap on a weekend after just recovering from a cold, screaming while grasping her ear, telling us how much it hurt. I looked in it with an otoscope and confirmed it was super red. I figure

I considered putting some in our under-sink reverse osmosis tank, to cool the water. Couldn’t come up with a way to exhaust the heat well enough to even look at how much electricity it would have cost me though - probably too much to make i

That’s awfully hard to do well though, especially setting up a system quickly. Sure, you can limit amount per customer per store. But then someone comes in with their husband and double dips, and then go back through in 10 minutes hitting d

I’d argue that’s a better time to do it? People will eat less, conserving food.
