I’m not the commenter above but, something must be done about serial lawbreaking drivers. I see maybe 100 cars per day run stop signs, red lights, speeding excessively, and other dangerous driving actions with no consequences. There needs t

I wonder when the API release will be. I have a site ready to upgrade to DALL-E 3 but I need the API! I tested out some of my prompts I've used with DALL-E 2 and they are way way way better when run with 3. So much better it's qui

Ever since reading about this I have wondered if alien civilizations have been watching Earth in HD for millions of years, from thousands of lightyears away. Are they watching the Romans sail and fight wars now? Will they see nukes go off i

My first paid programming job was a VB6 app in ~2004 in high school. It was initially a volunteer thing for a local youth court assistance group but they paid us $100 at the end as a kind of surprise reward. The thing had a UI with the righ

FWIW Star Wars is set a long time ago, not in the future ;) I've always liked to imagine any similarities between Star Wars and humanity on Earth is because Star Wars is set so indeterminately long ago that it seems 'plausible&#x2

So is the weather just hallucinated then? We're just making up memories and calling them real? And advertising this blatently, called rainy days sunny and sunny days rainy? My god I hate this so much. Not even a discussion about if thi

I haven't heard of comfyui yet but a simple install with a headless API and ability to run on my linode (hopefully..!) without a gpu is all I really need to kickstart the local-running plan. Intersting, will check that out, thanks! And

Ooooh exciting ! Been using DALL-E 2 to generate space images every 30 mins from prompts generated by GPT-4; and I've noticed the DALL-E output is so dramatically worse and more constrained than MJ (no API though) or SD (which I'm

Software does degrade with age, though. Simply the fact that vulnerabilities are found over time means that our understanding of a piece of software and how it works changes. But it's not just vulnerabilities being found, it's pro

That was an official feature of the Facebook app at one point. Like 10 years ago. It's absurd that anyone would deny this. It was right there as a feature! Default off I think. But it was definitely there.
