"A thing" is substantially different from what they claimed, that it's now the norm.

There's too many other places. VC can't find every tiny community out there, or even any noteworthy portion of them. Places small enough to still have a coherent sense of community are beneath the notice of VC.

No, it's resistant to transformation. Rotation, cropping, scaling, the image remains poisonous. The only antidote known currently is active artist cooperation.

Exactly, that's why calling this concept nonsense is so weird. It might be a tiny bit counterintuitive at first glance, but there's plenty of examples of it all around.

Only as much nonsense as rowing a boat without taking the paddle out of the water. In that specific example, you're going to be going in circles, but you will be moving.

The article poses a different use case, replacing diesel generators for off-grid power, not hooking into the grid to replace turbines.

This does not match what GP claimed, that when prompted with the start of an article, GPT 3 (mostly) faithfully completes it. The original article also claimed that it seemed to have been patched shortly after publication.

MidJourney, too. https://twitter.com/Rahll/status/1739003201221718466 It's frankly impressive how well this image is embedded in the weights of their model, down to tufts of hair. And it's far from the o

Prompters aren't artists, and neither are image generators. The corporations that create these generators are responsible for the content they illicitly fed into them that they are now spewing out. If you sell me an endless coloring bo

You can believe it's fair, what you can't do is claim they support aftermarket app stores while they also take actions to stamp them out. You have to acknowledge that the situation Google has created conveniently and heavily disco

There is a compounding effect of this though, the fact that the Play Store doesn't allow this greatly dampens development of libraries that would make it much easier for developers to add this functionality to their apps, making people

It makes a difference, absolutely, but the battery still exists and it's surprising for it to live for so long.

All Gameboy games (as far as I'm aware) have batteries inside the cartridge, the saves were stored on volatile memory and were battery-backed. Gold, Silver, and Crystal just made extra use of the battery with an RTC. I can find many in

Real time clock doesn't matter, I thought all Gameboy games had battery-backed saves. I can find forum posts of people talking about replacing batteries in their Red cartridges, troubleshooting why the game still won't save after

Plenty of sites ignore GDPR, some sites will GDPR just to CYA, some sites have cookie popups just to be polite, "Site with GDPR popup" in reality is a very poor analog for "site that wants to track me." Most sites that w

I'm asking why because I don't understand and I would like to understand your perspective. With my current understanding, that seems like a strict downgrade.

> If a site requires a GDPR tracking pop-up Not sure I understand that particular hill for dying on. If they aren't legally required to give you a choice, they're just going to be tracking you unconditionally.

Very many of them do. They weren't meant to be filled, lots of them are open paths that will just look awful filled.

My bad, that's what I get for commenting before bed. I meant to tack on an "on Nvidia" in there. AMD and Intel are well supported with VAAPI, but I've never managed to get any of the NV-to-VAAPI wrappers and shims workin

Firefox still has no support for hardware video decode on Linux. There's all sorts of shims for it, but I've never managed to get them functioning. Maybe Vulkan video decode could be the one agnostic API to rule them all this time

This is not what they did. They fed off enormous databases of pirated material.

If you use an Apple Silicon Mac you won't be asking that last question. Being able to reasonably go days without charging with regular usage is quite nice and opens this laptop up to new ways of being used. There's no other device

It's at least a different field though, and the world is full of endless amounts of overlapping acronyms. I was in a meeting the other day where people were talking about CFA forms, I found at least 6 different meanings across 6 differ

What I understood from GP was the possibility of some fragment of consciousness in that small bit of tissue. Humanity isn't in the fragments, though, it's in the structure of the whole. It doesn't matter much if it was human

I don't disagree. Communication is important and allowing use of the name but withholding funding, unless something was communicated beforehand, sends mixed messages.

I don't disagree with any of this. People in those areas should be able to hold their own conferences, and should get questions on funding answered in a timely manner. The point I wanted to make was that there are valid reasons to not
