IIUC, it doesn't. Hair grows for a certain time period, falls out, and regrows. The follicle has no knowledge of the length of the hair it is producing, it is simply on a grow-stop-shed cycle with a certain period.

Of course, a discrete, finite sampling of a square wave at a set of points in time only requires a finite number of coefficients to perfectly reconstruct.

I think underground metros, while expensive to build, solve this, because they are always more convenient compared to any traffic-ridden area. A bus can get stuck in the same traffic as the cars, and bikes taking over any significant port

It's not common for companies to have many breaks at all in the US — paid time off is a rare luxury for many workers here. The country's culture is riddled with Protestant views on work and its virtue, which when combined with our

Prescriptivism vs. descriptivism. Taxonomically, you're right — kelp is a macroalgae, not a plant. But most people don't really care (and don't need to care) about this taxonomical distinction in their day-to-day life. It

San Francisco also refuses to enforce basic rule of law and has hamstringed its police department, so this doesn't surprise me. Crime rates are through the roof, and a housing crisis has been ongoing for years because of restrictive zo

You're totally right, apologies for my non-answer earlier :) I feel like education is probably our best bet for sort-of-kind-of dealing with the repercussions of the problem. Ultimately, attempting to legislatively regulate the product

With the honestly astonishing ramp up in solar power and grid-scale battery production over the past decade, I have to disagree with this take. We're hurtling towards solving climate change through market forces alone — now, that doesn

I mean, I'm just making an educated guess based on how society has historically been quite good at changing its norms based on new technology. We didn't have cars, and then we did, and within a generation it became extremely norma

Agreed. The "transition period" between this technology being invented and society finally adapting to its existence is probably going to be quite rough for a lot of people. My only hope is that society adapts quickly.

The point isn't that it wasn't possible before, it's that it's 100x faster, easier, and cheaper to fake nudes now than it was previously. I think the reason for why claims of leaked nudes being fake are scoffed at

And this is why I began my comment with "I can't speak for everyone!" Art is so subjective that it would be rather silly of me to try to make a bold, authoritative statement about its nature. I definitely understand your pers

I can't speak for everyone, but the reason I personally find generated images completely uninteresting from an artistic standpoint is that they are low-effort. I appreciate art because a human sacrificed time and effort to make it. As

Have heard from others attempting it that it needs 40GB, so basically an A100/A6000/H100 or other large card. Or an Apple Silicon Mac with a bunch of unified memory, I guess.

I don't think transformers or diffusion models are inherently "unsupervised", especially not the way they're used in Stable Diffusion and related models (which are very much trained in a supervised fashion). I agree with
