Overall, nice. But it immediately hits a pet peeve of mine: requiring an in-app purchase to enable native features built into my device’s OS. In this case, $6 US for dark mode.

I am a product of a coding bootcamp from awhile back, so JavaScript is really the only thing I’ve ever known in my career (outside of writing some apps in Visual Basic around 2001). Maybe it’s because it’s the only thing I’ve ever known, bu

Ah, these are good things for me to keep in mind. Thanks for responding!

I went from being a geologist to coding bootcamp grad to software engineer (nearly 8 years in and still enjoying it). I would probably go back to some aspect of geology. Part of me still misses it (though, my previous jobs were less glamoro

I actually don’t know. We just rolled out access to LLMs internally for the first time within the last week and both models were present when I was granted access.

Honest question -- what are you doing otherwise then? Just checking for typos in variable names?

I treat it the same was as a code review. Makes it easy to generate a bunch of boilerplate code, but still want to verify it. (Just as I would if it was something I found on Stack Overflow.)

Just rolled it out internally at our company as well. It’s nice to have access to GPT-4 without having to pay for it myself (those queries and responses get pricey if you use it a lot). Super helpful for boilerplate code. Right now, we have

After struggling for years, I finally found someone through Kaiser (my insurance company for those outside of west coast USA), and they were absolutely phenomenal. By some sort of fortunate occurrence, I started talking to them about 3 week

Gizmodo has a piece awhile back lamenting this fact. You’re subjected to the whims of someone’s jokery. They example they have (if I recall) was that they couldn’t guess the word, only to find out that it was related to holiday XYZ that was

Nice! I just love this podcast so much. I think I discovered it from an older Hacker News thread a year ago or so.

I love the detailed workflow that OP posted. Dogs seem to be particularly good subject material for this. I turned my dog into a robot awhile back using the img2img feature of Stable Diffusion and the results were pretty amazing![1] [1] ht

Check out useReducer and all your problems go away! (It has no relation to Redux, many people think this but it’s a native React hook that makes updating keys within an object much easier)

I recently added support for it on ArtBot[1] and it supports additional options like models, steps, control type, etc, as well drawing on a canvas[2] and generating input from that. It’s pretty wild! Free and open source [3]. Bonus: it work

Quite a lot, at least based on my experience using Steam and playing various games I’ve bought for my actual gaming PC, but have builds available for multiple platforms. As long as they’re 64 bit builds, MacOS’s Rosetta translation layer do

I definitely agree with the overall idea of this post, but I realize it's not for everyone. For some, the last thing they want to do at the end of a work day is fire up their personal machine and dig into... more code. (Especially so w

I'm curious -- where are you hosting your Stable Diffusion instances? Local machine(s) in your garage or renting out GPU time from various services? Despite the 30 second delay, the image generation seems pretty fast. I'll be hone

On the generative image side of the equation, you can do the same thing with Stable Diffusion[1], thanks to a handy open source distributed computing project called Stable Horde[2]. LAION has started using Stable Horde for aesthetics traini

This is just so wholesome. I love it. And that's gotta be a cool thing for someone to randomly get a viewer. I know when I randomly stream (only when I play MSFS...), it's really cool to get even one viewer! (It's usually zer

Since these things are all the rage, I've made something using Stable Diffusion (but with a twist): ArtBot: https://tinybots.net/artbot You can create images with numerous Stable Diffusion models using a distributed cl

This is awesome! I love these sorts of creative community projects. Have you had to deal with trolls at all and how have you managed that?

Yeah -- definitely toxic! There were really no boundaries. We have two kiddos as well. So it ended up conflicting with bedtime at night or getting ready for school in the morning. Managers were just not sympathetic at all. To clarify, we wo

Perhaps I phrased that wrong. When we woke up at (roughly at 6:30), she saw a work email on her phone announcing the layoffs.

Yeah, that's what it sounds like to us. She had been there about 6 years.

My wife woke up this morning to an email sent at 3:16AM informing her that she was laid off as part of this restructuring. It's a blessing in disguise, IMHO -- the work-life boundaries expected as part of her org were non-existent (cal

I come from a web dev background, so my opinions are probably suspect, but I’ve tried on a number of different occasions to write an iOS app (or even a simple MacOS app) for learning purposes… …and I’m honestly surprised that Apple has such

Ah, personally, I think getting hung up on the whole " legitimate public interest" argument is a distraction. The simple fact of the matter is that due to how this data is created, it's publicly accessible information: All

I've been working on a web client[1] that interacts with a neat project called Stable Horde[2] to create a distributed cluster of GPUs that run Stable Diffusion. Just added support for SD 2.0: [1] https://tinybots.net/a
