Holy hell. This take is so arrogant it’s incredible. Get out of your city bubble sometime. I live in a rural area (the nearest town has a population of ~500) and use Starlink. I’m a photographer/software developer. My wife is a financ

You can’t use their generative AI tools on images it deems NSFW, even if the part you’re generating isn’t.

There are many people in this country that will buy a 2 year old used car for just a few thousand under the new price because the majority of their lives they’ve been told buying new is a waste of money. My friend’s in-laws are like that a

For me, it was simply how it was incredibly alien and incredibly familiar at the same time. Everything was different, but if you’re at all a nerd (and you’re on HN so…) you’ve been exposed to Japanese culture. That and it was all so friend

Eh, more: That’s infringement. Question mark? The images aren’t exact copies, though they’re obviously really close. Considering those are all famous stills from the movies I kind of doubt they actually just took random scenes from the movi

I'd argue that a vaccine that allowed the virus to evolve rapidly out of it because it's only targeting on small section of the virus is pretty crappy by definition. Don't get me wrong, it saved a lot of lives. Compared to e

Well that’s just plain revisionist history. Name another example. The flu vaccine, maybe? But that’s because they don’t know which strains to target. Both the CDC director at the time and Biden said the vaccine would prevent you from getti

That seems like a pretty clear cut first amendment violation, no?

They no longer do it as a default, but they absolutely still do it with some couples. IVF is expensive, and miscarriages or lack of implantation is devastating.

by Auracle 3y ago
Even if it wasn’t IVF they may have done other fertility increasing treatments, such as using Clomid and then possibly doing IUI.

When does that come? I’m the father of a (very) active 2 year old with another on the way. “Come on daddy, let’s play” is a refrain I hear probably 50 times a day.

Maybe not in urban places, but it absolutely makes no sense that it's not legal in my rural area to bike down (some) trails/sidewalks that run along roads. Usually if you bike down them it's rare to see another person even o

When visiting Europe I've literally had to get up and find my waitress after not seeing her for 40+ minutes. I'll take tip culture any day...in sit down restaurants, at least.

Heh, as a Minnesotan I was confused by the original comment until now. I didn’t realize that was a regional thing.

As long as the population is growing, if your business isn’t you’re effectively shrinking. Plus image of Megablocks did Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc. They’d overtake Lego in a minute.

My 2 year old daughter hasn’t really shown any interest either. It’s weird, as a kid I wasn’t really into building stuff. Lego, wood blocks, etc. The only exception was “forts” in my woods. I could play with my Power Rangers toys for hours

I don’t have one, but something I can just put in my wallet as opposed to another thing that needs to be in my pocket seems nice.

Sure From experience they try to pay far below market rate, so then people challenge it (possibly in court?). This delays things, adds expense, etc.

That $1700 will be somewhat outdated in 5 years, and definitely outdated in 10.

Not every job has 'more work = new skills.' Usually it's just more of the same.

I would simply call it demeaning.
742.
by Auracle 3y ago
Sure, and I agree with that. As I said, I'd probably push that just as much as it being 'offline,' if not more.
743.
by Auracle 3y ago
I realize it may be good marketing, but it's odd to have the fact that it's on device and offline be the primary differentiator when that's probably how most people use Stable Diffusion already. I'd probably focus more o

Well, it could have been, but they would actually need to work on both sides to make it work.

True. I just question doing it (too much) at such an early age, if only because every time they play when they're 2 years old they're also probably learning as well. Just last night my daughter was putting Hotwheels down a ramp

The heritability of intelligence is pretty well established. Your second point is true, of course.

by Auracle 3y ago
Other people have put it more eloquently and perhaps a bit more diplomatically, but you’re wrong. I lived for 33 years before having a child and nothing - absolutely nothing - ever brought me more joy than something as simple as my daughter

by Auracle 3y ago
I don’t think my daughter socializing with other children is a “shitbox of a time wasting experience.” She enjoys it and learns a lot just being around older children. Probably more importantly, so far it seems she’s on the path to being an

Unless you absolutely force them, their interest is a huge factor in what they’ll learn. I started to read when I was 2 (presumably late 2), and my parents did nothing special but read to me. I just wanted to read, I was really into it, and

I'd imagine I'd want it to be time based, not per video, but yeah. I'd probably want a counter right on the page of how much I've spent, and perhaps a toggle right up there if I decide I've spent enough that month
