I saw this coming a long time ago and I'm still very pissed off. For three reasons: 1. We are all forced to use the damn "chat" API instead of regular completions. Can't wait to have to deal with chatgpt's conversat

Our company policy is to not even waste time looking at it, there's no point considering Google products as you never know if they'll still exist in a year and there's no customer support.

They're right, and touchscreens also inconvenient, annoying, and not universally useful. For an entertainment center and navigation a touchscreen is great, but for basic functions I want switches so I don't have to look away from

It's bit odd. You would want the form to be handled by Django forms system or wtforms in Flask - and having third party package to provice CSS for the classes they used (or you use on a wrapper element). And you can make reusable compo

midjourney data set is curated with only consented images, and they have an artist opt out option for artist who want to be removed from their data set. Either way, competition is always good for the market as a whole.

Very nice. I think the NYT has been tweaking the word list a bit. I know they've removed a few words, but don't know if they've added any. I don't know how much the list has drifted over time.

It's not only a zsh thing, works in bash too. I liked the way he covered just one function though, which at least might be starters for such operations, and are fully operational, and probably caters for better workflows for most, than

Surprised Ctrl+T didn't get a mention. Maybe that's a zsh-only thing, but it's basically the same as his vim $(fzf) example, except I only have to type vim and then Ctrl+T. I use this all the time when I'm running unit t

I think it’s safe to say that US no longer sees China as competitor, but an adversary. And I would speculate that it’s the direct result of rapacious hacking and IT/IP theft by Chinese military and other government directed espionage e

Turning off VOLTE and WiFi calling on phones sold in the USA means using airplane mode - there is no VOLTE switch and most carriers in the USA no longer have 3G service anyway. Edit: I mean Pixel phones sold in the USA, I'm not sure ab

Running LM on two gpus on a single system comes with 10x speed penalty. Getting layers across network will be in general even slower. They talk about 1 token per second, with images it will be even less due to larger amount of sequential st

It's hard to tell for certain from the paper, without going deep into the code, but it seems they created the new model the same way the depth conditioned SD models were made i.e. normal finetune. It might be possible to create a &quot

this is a great biased TLDR article full of misconceptions as one can tell from the headline. I read through part of it and I had enough. I quote one of the many misleading statements: "So far, the gamble hasn’t paid off. Only 20 milli

My favorite old UNIX UIs are 4Dwm, Rhapsody, and NEXTSTEP's for sure. However I do think working in modern macOS is pretty nice; I honestly like the Ventura redesign a lot, though that may be an unpopular opinion(?).

The above is interesting because it highlights the fact that humans do not have truly unique cognitive abilities, and hence must differ from other animals not qualitatively, but rather in the combination and extent of abilities such as theo

Bitwarden argues that the finding is out of scope because from what I can gather the claim that exploiting this requires access to the device. If that were the case, I'd agree with them. But having access to the Bitwarden database is n

It is worth pointing out that zero actual information is transferred, it's just an inexact analogy to describe a problem space which lacks terms in plain English to describe it. It's not possible to communicate faster than light w

Going back to your experience with programming, it's inspiring to hear how you progressed from BASIC to Assembly, Turbo Pascal, and eventually Turbo C. It's great that you found C to be a language that allowed you to reason about

It really depends man. I joined the plumbers union and don’t regret it at all I hated school. Getting a degree these days you really gotta be careful what you pick and knowing someone getting a good job goes a long way. Also it’s expensive,
