Visions of the future where the consumer has to pick apart "human curated", "human assembled" and "human made" much the same way we do now for cage free and free range eggs at the grocer.

Ok, so on the generative model modality landscape I'm now aware of: - speech - images - audio samples - text - code - 3d models I've seen basic attempts at music and video, and based on everything else we've seen getting goo

Given how robust it seems to be with fast speech, I wonder if you could save cycles by speeding up the audio before feeding it in.

Please, it's not that imagen won't do people it's that Google won't publish imagen images with people in them. Does anyone seriously think that imagen couldn't put a person in that prompt?

Is it the largest CLIP model or the largest open source CLIP model?

A prion is a misfolded protein, a quine is a program that can produce itself with no input. So a prion quine would be a self replicating nano machine, a semi popular doomsday scenario.

How are three people dead because of KF? Not concern trolling, a google search only turned up a kiwifarms thread that _could_ have been relevant, but is now obviously inaccessable.

My thought has been even more pessimistic than that. Why even pass your own legislation when your intelligence agencies can just get Australia to extract that info for you. You don't need to actually backdoor the targets device, just t

Nah it makes perfect sense, normalizing encryption that 14 year olds can break in an hour is totally in line with Australian government policy.

Okay, how about a tad more nuance though. The better headline would be "Remote Startups will win the war for top talent among employees who prefer to work remotely" Not quite so sexy. Sure some; probably even most software devs pr

Been playing with this for the past hour now on my RTX 2070. Each image takes about 10 seconds. Results vary wildly but it can make some really great stuff occasionally. It's just infrequent enough to keep you going "one more prom

HN is more of a notes of writing software for taking notes, but hey I'm sure people here would be happy to branch out.

This was my first thought too. C'mon Google put Imagen to work, I'm so over this art style.

Materialize looks like a perfect tool for the job should the need ever arise. I think my ideal would be for the functionality to be baked directly into PostgreSQL. Has anyone here used it? Any comments on speed/scalability/reliabi

I'm aware, however there have been a couple efforts now to introduce CAD tooling into Blender. https://github.com/hlorus/CAD_Sketcher https://github.com/EleotleCram/blender-cad-tools I'm

I swear, the companies in 3d software tooling adjacent industries must almost _want_ Blender to eat their lunch. If affected companies banded together to pay in even 10% of what they currently pay Autodesk towards working with the blender f

I feel the same way. The clumsy replication we currently use of cables held under torsion using servos would be replaced instantly. The kinds of actuation we'd be able to produce would only be rivaled by nature.

Go's concurrency is such a breath of fresh air whenever I interact with it. Python would be immediately so much easier to use for so many other cases if it implemented something similar.

This is a fantastic resource. Are there any similar resources for setting up internal packages that you don't intend to publish publicly? I can think of a number of situations where I would have benifitted from it, but the process of c

I finished my first on 1:33, starting from the edge and working in, moving to a different spot when I noticed too much flex was my strategy. Given the authors note in this thread about each puzzle only having one solution probably means I s

I mostly agree. First off, city limit property is already seeing this effect. Tenant protections in the USA suck. Big Time. However landlords raising rates are a great signal that your infrastructure is failing somewhere. This is useful bec

True. People are asking how you would lower the price though. If you don't _want_ lower prices, then the NIMBY positions make sense, don't build more to meet rising demand, keep prices high and poorer people out.

Ah, from your original comment, I thought you were advocating for seizure + rent control. If you are instead suggesting some form of eminent domain of low density housing, and then building higher density housing in its stead, with a target

I mean sure, if you want to address it from the demand end of things that would work if there were a viable solution. The hard fact is that people want to live in large cities. Even if you were to legislate that all landlords had to provide

> CMV Rent is high because the demand in large cities majorly out strips supply. All policies that attempt to address housing costs that don't increase supply are treating a symptom and not the underlying cause.

The Godot 4 alpha builds are surprisingly stable for playing around in, and feature wise pretty good too. Still not there for working on anything other than small toys or concepts yet, but once it's done it'll be great.

It seems pretty reasonable that a court will decide that "a law enforcement activity" isn't a single point in space but an area that encompasses the situation. From there it's a pretty reasonable expectation that all inv

I'm joking about how the technique seems to relate to the recent trend in generated text in general and how the comment is somewhat self referential in how it looks like such generated text while describing a use for it. The OP's
