Having been engaged in the online TTRPG/D&D discourse for many years - the general zeitgeist didn't start out as being snarky about D&D, even when they were proponents of alternative systems. But the explosive success of 5

My Voron2.4 build was one of the most fun projects I've had. Keeping it running in top form has been... more effort than my Prusa printers. Don't regret it, though. I am interested in building one of the Annex-Engineering medium f

That's nothing new with Stability. Even 1.5 was "released early" by RunwayML because they felt Stability was taking too long to release the weights instead of just providing them in DreamStudio. Stability will release them in

The good news is that since the universe on the whole is expanding faster than the speed of light due to dark energy, as long as it happens far enough away the universe will be expanding too quickly for it to ever reach us.

> But the other side doesn't see it that way, specifically not the "something more" part. It's "just math" all the way down, in our brains as well. The "emergent phenomena" are not undefined in thi

You don't need nvlink for inference with models that need to fit in multiple cards. I'm using a laptop with a 3080 ti mobile and a 3090 in an eGPU enclosure for running LLM models over 24GB.

It's pointless to talk about that 8 minute warning because the speed of light is effectively the speed of causality. There is no way we can signal back faster than that initial wave of radiation hitting us. There is no way to alert us

You could leverage the exact same accusation against the other side - we know fundamentally how the math works on these things, yet somehow throw enough parameters at them and eventually there's some undefined emergent behavior that re

Most physicists have assumed that singularities don't exist and are a limitation of our understanding and current math, but they've felt that's the case because we need to quantize gravity, and that they are still the solutio

The PoE of 11 years ago isn't the PoE that people rave about today, though. That's more of the past 6-7 years through today. You skipped over mentioning Elden Ring, with it being from 2022. Some others from the 2020s: Hades, 2020

There's a wide variety of reasons. 1) People learned to build web apps for other reasons - their job, other projects that were multi-user, etc. Now they're comfortable working in that language and deployment model 2) They can acce

Nothing professional. I run a variety of tabletop RPGs for friends, so I mostly use it for making visual aids there. I've also got a large format printer that I was no longer using for it's original purpose, so I bought a few fron

Largely some old channels from the 90s/00s that really only exist as vestiges of their former selves - not really related to their original purpose, just rooms for hanging out with friends made there back when they had a point besides

I pay for both MJ and DALL-E (though OpenAI mostly gets my money for GPT) and don't find them to produce significantly better images than popular checkpoints on CivitAI. What I do find is that they are significantly easier to work with

Midjourney 100% at least used to use Stable Diffusion: https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1561917541743841280 I am not sure if that is still the case.

Somewhat equivalent to TikTok videos. On YT they are frequently clips from longer videos. I assume they offer some form of monetization, so automated low-effort videos could potentially bring in revenue.

Not exactly the same situation, but... a little similar, I guess? Cannabis has never given me generalized anxiety - sometimes it does, however, force me to pay attention to some real truths that I tend to ignore while sober. e.g., I gained

Emoji in readmes seem to be a fairly consistent trend in the generative AI/ML space. The generative AI/ML scene seems to be very meme-y, from that, to all of the anime related stuff, to Mistral releasing models as torrents with wa

Football/Soccer, American/Gridiron Football, and Rugby all descend from the same class of sport that was just called football back in the middle ages (you played it on foot instead of on horse). Etymologically, neither sport calle

As an American, I have never once in my life used a football field as a size comparison, nor have I heard it used as a size comparison for anything that wasn't roughly football field sized. It might be used more commonly in some places

My text editor is not covered under 230 regardless of whether or not it has spellchecking because my text editor is not an online platform. It's a text editor. I'm sorry, but this is a nonsensical argument.

Portugal's use of hard drugs increased at a lower rate compared to the rest of Europe post decriminalization. Obviously decriminilization is not the same as legalization, and there are other demographic factors in play, but I don'

The problem is that that isn't what this bill is about - we can have a reasonable discussion on whether an AI written article or tweet or whatever should have the same Section 230 protections - but even things that are human written an

I am of the opinion that legalization is one of the steps needed to really solve the drug problem. I think it's not the only one because it only truly solves certain parts of the issue, on the harm reduction front. Just having public h
