Also the oil paint doesn't have its own memory banks that someone could accuse of being trained on c---- p---. But still, I also wonder if Microsoft's liability would be less if it weren't screening images.

Was gonna say, this guide is too light on examples. So an example of string usage would be passing around null-terminated char arrays.

It's just more fun if I know I'm making something that isn't a strictly worse version of something that already exists. Also it's more educational if I'm pushing some kind of boundary.

Well I have limited time for fun and self-education. But yeah it's not a product.

I can't think of anything more lame that's ever happened with tech. ChatGPT came out and it was so cool, you could make it sound almost like a real person. Then they neutered the heck out of it.

Yeah that too. Sure plenty of tools could be used to retouch illegal pics and so on, but a court would probably see it differently if the model distributed by Microsoft is able to produce that on its own. At the same time... F that, I don&#

They sell you a license to use the software, so you can't for instance redistribute MS Paint as your own software. But you could certainly hack it not to phone home.

I was about to ask how you do the equivalent in Krita, but I saw the GitHub showed that under "Using ControlNet to guide image generation with a crude scribble". Cool, gonna try this on my Mac mini.

Man it's just fun to make paintings. I don't need AI everywhere, but since it's impossible to draw stuff with precision using a mouse, this makes sense. Also when you want detailed control over AI images, this might be a lot

Only explanation that makes sense so far.

I did manage to get the regular ChatGPT to say "I don't want to talk" regardless of my prompt, cause I previously asked too many times about stuff it can't discuss. Also, I miss the jailbroken one, it was a lot more fun.

Looks like "really YIYBY, NIMBY" was an attempt to narrow it down

There's a whole market of people who look sorta like famous people, hired for B-rate movies.

Tensions run high in these situations, and in the end they were just building personal computers. So yes, I can understand a boss who's always yelling that the product is shit and demanding that people fix it, but is also an ok person.

I agree, that and the "no cold call" agreement (which equally involved other CEOs). If I were that famous, someone would probably pick out all my missteps and make me out to look like a horrible person too. The most iconic superf

Yes, also you're supposed to listen to a journalist telling you what to think about this.

Image and text resizing both seem rather broken in HTML/CSS. Especially images. If I care somewhat precisely about how a mixed-media site is going to show on different screen sizes, I have to set up React and start calculating stuff ba

It felt like living with children even when I was in school, but it was cheap and got the job done. My desk area there was actually quieter than apartments I lived in afterwards.

Fraternities in Berkeley rent out rooms for cheap, and they're in a nice area.

by hot_gril 2y ago
The minuscule effect on the rent market of where you move to/from is not a consideration.

by hot_gril 2y ago
Everything costs more in SF besides the rent, especially if you're constrained to shopping (groceries etc) at places you don't need a car for. Though it might not matter as much for a single person living without housemates.

Yeah, didn't think it was that easy.

by hot_gril 2y ago
Since you have no roots there, you can pick anywhere in the area you want. Are your meetings with contacts in SF infrequent enough to live somewhere vaguely nearby instead? I imagine half of them are in the South Bay anyway, which iirc is a

It seemed true before covid. When I lived there, a ton of special events and spur of the moment meetings just so happened to be a walk or short ride away from me. Nowadays, it still seems better to be there, but all things considered, I&#x2

Not sure, but worth checking on this, I thought the tax on RSUs can follow you out of California if they were vested there.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah it seems like you need a clock.
