Renewable energy just isn't up to the task in the timeframe we are talking about and in Germany where there really just isn't that much sun. Long term, 100 percent. We need renewables and we should be Manhattan projecting fusion,

This seems like a really bad idea when we are facing mass energy shortages that threaten to let Russia tear our allies out of our sphere of influence. Yes, we need to get off of oil and gas Yes, we don't need subsidies. But wait for th

A week isn't quite long enough. I think it was about a month before I got proficient, and you have to unlearn some bad typing form, like typing Cs with your index finger. If you (meaning you speak to onlookers more than you here OP) w

What people are doing right now is taking these wonky outputs and putting them back into the system after making some crude edits to it. As you repeat that cycle things are going to get better, but it does require human labor at that point.

No, but I feel like the ideology of the person posting this misses the fact that they are on the side of what empowers people like Putin. Kiwi farms is clearly an issue that needs to be handled, but in my mind to handle it requires you be h

I would imagine that the root of all evil is anytime you do something without having a clear goal in doing it. Premature optimization is when you optimize without a slowdown anyone has noticed. Going overboard with architecture is designing

I touched on this somewhere else in the thread, but it is not uncommon for companies to end up in a position where they have so much control over society that they need to be limited in their power, else they just hold too much power and th

In an ideal world (in this world) we would be able to both deal with bad actors and not have mob rule at the same time.

I think that systems like cloudflare should be treated partially as utilities and required to provide services as if they were one, because that's what they are. There are lots of times that companies find themselves in a position of s

This is mob rule, private companies do nothing but appeal to whatever they have to in order to make money, and to rely on them for control of our basic ability to have a platform is incredibly harmful and you should not support it. There ar

If they are doing something criminal, let the courts set them out with an established procedure and a a group of informed jurors instead of mob rule.

Telegram I can understand, but discord is a centralized platform that doesn't encrypt your messages. I'm astounded the authorities don't have a direct ability to just search their database at this point.

Guns don't work at scale for these things. You can't have a functioning society when the only thing keeping people in line is the threat of force.

The scummy part is that they are physical concrete images that you can share with other people. Imagination cannot escape your head, but these images can. The threat is somewhat unique from something like Photoshop as well, because the ba

The only way that's going to damage your trust with your kid is if you are secret about it. Show them and tell them that you're getting onto their accounts. They could even be sitting in the room with you. Eventually you have to

At that point it will be too late. Censorship like this creeps on forward until everyone is scared to speak up against it and then it clamps down hard enough that no one is able to speak up against it.

I don't think either of you are correct. Doctors and parents should be involved in every single one of these kids decisions, but if the doctors and parents are involved, it's their job to care for their kids. If they decide their

To be fair I'm not a parent either, maybe this just won't work. But I was also a kid, and I know that if I was barred from doing something I would 100% go behind my parents back and do it anyway, so that's not going to work.

The correct answer is to be having regular discussions with your kids about what they're doing online, and occasionally log into their accounts, having access to their usernames so that you can do it, so that you know what they're

This ability to "deplatform" is also what allows fascist nations to exist and keeps Putin in power today in Russia.

One of SDs big limitations (understanding from what I had read about it) is positional prompts. dall-e seems to understand x on top of Y, but simple diffusion does not.
