There’s also the massive example of illegal immigration. DACA basically says “we’re not going to prosecute this specific group for this specific law.”

I've heard it argued that it could be the reason the middle east is the way it is now as opposed to the world's hub of scientific discoveries and great culture that is used to be. However, that's racist-adjacent so I doubt th

Huh. I'm in no way qualified, but as someone who used to run a flash game website back in the day I wish I was. Neat.

No, he’s saying one singular (small) telescope could be pointed at Jupiter at all times. Not every telescope everywhere at once.

"The solution to the housing crisis is to not to try to mess with demand, but to increase supply." Why? Why should we only worry about supply, especially when that's a much, much harder issue to tackle? I live in a rural par

I work outside. I guarantee my 2 year old daughter will be just fine in regards to global warming. Some areas of the world might have issues, but if you're in a rich country like America you don't really need to worry about it on

I didn't say it was men. Unfortunately I haven't seen any studies looking at if women have also had a decrease in testosterone levels. Like I said though, it could be another hormone. Sure, we can find plenty of excuses...but t

My high school experience was largely teachers mentally assuming that their homework was the only homework we were assigned, and not realizing that the time we’d need to spend on all of it was 6 or 7 times what they personally did. I had on

You pretty much just described Excel as a whole, not to mention any kind of formula/macro/whatever that gets entered into it. Yeah, they didn't come up with those formulas entirely on their own - they adapted what they learn

Are we sure that there's nothing else going on with fertility rates? It seems odd to me that one of the primary drives of humanity has fallen off of a cliff so quickly. Sure, it mostly manifests as a drive to have sex and we can get

Do you think any parents have ever known that answer? Before climate change was the Cold War and threat of nuclear annihilation, before that was two major world wars, before that was a string of wars and plagues going back to the beginning

I would argue that "For the year 2022, Canada welcomed 437,180 immigrants and saw a net increase of the number of non-permanent residents estimated at 607,782." Combined with "About 286,000 new homes are currently built each

This is HN. How many computer programs have been created based on existing professional workflows that vastly reduced the amount of people needed to do that job? An absolute ton. Now that it’s happening to art instead of accountants everyon

Alright - what if I take Stable Diffusion and further train it on my own art, and then use that to generate things? Or what if I don’t do that, but generate several images and spend hours making a composite? What if I start with my own pho

It's fine, no worries. We really should come up with something in reverse. "The arrogant coasts," perhaps ;)

And yet if you look at the birth of any other animal, their birth is way, way easier. My wife has wide hips but our daughter couldn’t make her way through and needed a c-section. Maybe she could have made it after another 18 hours of labor

No, I was trying it for another medical condition. It worked most of the week other than the 2-3 days after injection where a side effect made that condition effectively worse, so it wasn't worth it.

People deliberately bypassing the system doesn’t mean it’s not effective. Seatbelts are also pretty effective unless you don’t put them on and then put some duct tape across your chest to fool police officers.

My mom says she took ivermectin frequently as a child, and we’re in the disparagingly named named “flyover country.” Looking at Wikipedia it seems she was taking it after it was approved for animals, but before it was for humans. I don’t kn

Yeah, that’s absolutely already a thing for regular Joe Schmoe hearing protection. I have a pair. They’re big earmuff types though, not earplugs. I suppose they very well might exist now too. The fun thing about them is you can turn up the

I mean, that last point is - again - normal for everyone. There's a reason "hangry" is a term. I had that same experience on semaglutide where I had to actually remember to eat...and drink water too, though I don't kno

That's silly, and a bit like saying "See, you didn't need to budget to get rid of your credit card debt. You just needed someone to give you a million dollars." I'm relatively fit and tried semaglutide for reasons

The problem is you’re on HN, which probably means you’re quite intelligent. A lot of parents that homeschool aren’t, and I sure as hell wouldn’t trust them to teach my kid anything past grade 4.

Wouldn’t that be largely solved by doing two scans a few months (or so?) apart? You’d see if any of those potential issues grew, or disappeared.

The popular fork of Automatic1111 SD.Next recently implemented diffusers for its SDXL support. It seems like an odd move to me as what makes Auto1111 so appealing are the extensions and I’m assuming that breaks an awful lot of them, but wha

No wonder the birth rate has been dropping.

I should have been clear - I'm using the Prodigy settings on that page, not the Adafactor one. You set the learning rate to 1 and the scheduler to cosine, but the real learning rate is figured out by the optimizer.

It was about 30 images, though I'm planning on adding more and training again sometime. Either that or splitting it up between when her hair is short and when it's long, as it really changes how she looks. This isn't what I
