That would probably depend on the scale. I'm pretty sure, to the extent they could imagine anything, ants would find it unimaginable and economically absurd for any creature to spend monstrous (to them) amounts of energy just to fuck a

Oh, no. The other extreme wasn’t Step Functions. It was AWS Lambdas stringed together through DynamoDB Streams, SQS, SNS and S3 triggers, all obscurely tied together in a murky single-file yaml template deployed by JAWS (now the serverless

I should have mentioned this was more than 4 years ago. I remember having to use a Choice State to hack together my own looping mechanism. Considering how much progress has been made since, and even though I haven’t gotten around to try App

I wouldn’t be surprised if those who feel or have felt something similar were much more likely to reply here than others, so it will probably be heavily biased. Nonetheless, reaching out is always a good idea. If only not to feel alone faci

That can happen. It’s one of those things that, for many reasons, can come and go. But I’m afraid a random stranger on the Internet wouldn’t necessarily be in the best position to help you here.

I thought the same. I was pretty much getting slowly convinced I had to get out before I threw my laptop out the window. I both loathed and dreaded the thing. And then Stability dropped Stable Diffusion, with all the messy and impressive ef

I think many of us aren’t used to working on anything actually critical to human lives. And I wouldn’t be surprised if quite a few of those who are have never actually fully understood what that means. I certainly don’t. But then, there’s a

Ah! Yes, ok. I wondered if there was anything out of the ordinary that I may have missed. Thanks!

That’s pretty much why I’m working on summarising content, no matter the media. Just getting started, but it has already yielded some fun results.

I’ve been impressed by what both Stability.ai and the open source community have been capable of achieving in terms of performance gains. Truly remarkable. I wonder how OpenAI will cope on it’s own… unless Stability strikes again, with it’s

Oh! I like the way you think. And you could also only load assets as needed (or, ideally, preload them intelligently).

Neat! I’ve never done any WebGL so far, hence the question. I’m even more interested now. Thanks!

I wonder. Since this runs in the browser, does it mean that we could dynamically use different assets based on device and bandwidth? Or start with lower res assets and progressively get better ones, like jpeg progressive downloads?

So far, everything I’ve had to type in it was code specific to what I was doing. And that feels nice. The extra boilerplate that doesn’t bring any value to me, as a dev, when needing to update values at runtime. I find two-way binding to ju
