I started out using my old GTX 1080 on Thursday, could generate 512x512 just fine. That's in 8G of VRAM. It worked well on the hlky branch using webui (built using gradio). Seeing that training etc. is much more memory intensive, and w

Rapid change is a real problem and not a flaw of society. People cannot change careers quickly without loss of human capital. There is no flaw in society that you can fix to prevent this. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't make thi

This article demonstrates control via iterative techniques, which is more flexible than trying to encode everything in a sentence. The input image acts as state carrying forward much more information than a sentence from one iteration to th

Most likely what's being talked about here is using Oracle to track identity across accesses to data on a per user basis, for permissions and auditing, and that piggybacking on Oracle's own password management with its own restric

Unless you like the inside baseball of publishing, this article is probably not worth reading. I regret it.

To be clear, this technique (which it seems I independently discovered in 2015) mostly only works in MySQL because other databases usually have planners which are smart enough to not pull everything in eagerly. MySQL is fairly predictable,

If you subscribe to the idea of small PRs (dozen or so diff lines at most) and code ownership then you'll want to split PRs up and have them reviewed by different people. In this mode blocking on code review interrupts flow, and it&#x2

On the pourover side of things, coffee can tend towards a tea-like substance, with some degree of translucency and delicate flavours, the kinds of flavours that you need light roasting to preserve. It's in part exploring different kind

Train carriages used to go ca-chunk-ca-chunk, ca-chunk-ca-chunk, ca-chunk-ca-chunk. Each carriage has two bogies and each bogie has two pairs of wheels on axels; the first ca-chunk pair was the forward bogie, the second the rearward bogie.

When I store tree-structured data in a relational database I generally add a 'path' column which is a denormalized string containing the names of all the parents with a path separator between. The biggest reason is it makes findin

It is not particularly convincing in the last part, the most relevant part: our own selfish interests in prioritizing people related to us over those not related, close to us over those far from us, and so on. It does a lot of handwaving ar

35k sounds like a median or mode in a distribution. 2x sounds very feasible to me for deltas between geographic regions.

The latter three are for RPC / interop / automation scenarios, simplifying the programming model for things like Visual Basic. HeapAlloc (and legacy routines GlobalAlloc and LocalAlloc which wrap it) is mostly a relic of 16-bit Wi

VirtualAlloc is a better base for a custom memory allocator. It's closer to mmap + mprotect in functionality. There's also CoTaskMemAlloc (aka IMalloc::Alloc). And COM automation has a bunch of methods which allocate memory for dy

Windows doesn't have a malloc. The API isn't libc like conventional Unix and shared libraries on Windows don't generally expect to be able to mutually allocate one another's memory. Msvcrt as shipped is effectively a com

IMO it's a useful lens to think of religion as an operating system for a society, and the Bible as the source code for an OS specifically for an agrarian society. Agriculture only works if a lot of people do a lot of work which has mos

This is almost the only advantage. A related "advantage" is forced upgrades when dependencies change - since you can't have code depending on different versions of in-repo libraries and services, client code needs to adapt or

Many aren't very detailed. I could do with more detail on e.g. King's Cross, a station where it's easy to be suckered into a much longer walk to / from your platform if you don't know some of the shortcuts.

RSUs are better but you can't get them before a company goes public. RSUs will have non-zero value. Options might never be exercisable but they're the normal way you get a stake of ownership at a startup (you don't get stock)

This denies the effect of exogenous information on choices, and conflates objective determinism with subjective free will. What if telling someone they had free will to make a choice affected the choices they deterministically made? What if

One of the nicer things about using a separate process is that resource isolation is much better than in-process. You can kill the process without worrying about mutexes, OS scheduling applies priority consistently, the entire heap is freed

Sure, you can build striped raidz and 3+ way mirrors and other more exotic variants but the two most typical corners of the configuration space are plain raidz2+ for all the drives vs striped mirrors. You lose usable space not putting all y

Raidz (or preferably raidz2) is good for archival / media streaming / local backup and has good sequential read/write performance, while striped mirrors - raid10 - are better for random access read and write and are a little
