The core function of trusted computing was to lockout malware, so it does make sense that this needs to be handled by the OS. That said, and as many others have pointed out: with great power comes great responsibility. There are definitely

I feel like TikTok took the Vine idea to its natural extent. Meanwhile Facebook/Meta shoehorning Snap & TikTok features into Instagram ruined Instagram and wasted their lead. Many big tech companies don't perform real R&D,

Piggy-backing off my comment, because I forgot to mention this very interesting project: https://replicate.com/andreasjansson/stable-diffusion-animat... The idea is that it takes two txt2img prompts and animates betwee

Arguably the cost effective solution is to use cloud services, since we're talking just a few seconds difference (or you might be lucky like one HN reader who got allocated an A100 today.) But to play devil's advocate there are cl

I’ll definitely continue to call people ignorant when they make grand unsubstantiated claims, that frankly are nothing more than trollish internet behaviour. A better approach for people is to ask questions, rather than trying to write cont

Amongst the many video experiments, I find Karen Cheng is making some interesting concepts by piping AI output to a range of other interpolation tools. Below is a mini tut where the content from Dall-e it piped to Ebsynth and then DAIN. ht

For the same reason why you don't send good money after bad. A line is drawn in the sand and while this isn't significant at first - it compounds over time, and allows businesses to divest, avoid new relationships and allow existi

In context it is all or nothing - because people on HN think illustrators and artists are what they find on fiverr.com. They're making hugely naive blanket statements saying that this will destroy an industry and make creatives unemplo

It's not a good comparison. A better comparison is like saying AI text generation bots will replace authors, or that AI drug testing will replace drug development - which clearly isn't the case. The core issue is that people with

I've said this ad nauseam - but people who think this is going to kill an industry clearly have no idea of said industry. It's a fantastically great tool, and a very exciting space, but reducing the function of creatives to people

Reflexive heel-digging is indicative of your priorities, i.e. people you don't disagree with aren't conspiracy theorists. This topic is well covered territory and to touch further on the examples I've given: Facebook's o

It’s called the political horseshoe - but it’s exceedingly overweighted on the right wing in the USA. Being external the USA helps provide a reference point that people inside the USA often lack. However the key difference in my point is th

This is always the assumption of a new technology, and relies on people that assume the absolute minimum of the person's role. It seems you might have the belief that a creative's role is to sit and generate MS Office style clipar

It becomes most noticeable for me when my phone can only get 3G or lower. Once upon a time this was enough to pull up a variety of web pages without too much wait, but now it might as well be no connection at all.

Not against this idea, but it seems like the real solution is better government service for the available public toilets for areas that don't already have it. In my area there is a simple map layer that shows all of the available publi

You being ignorant to how devices work isn't the same thing as your device secretly spying on you. Your phone literally can't make a phone call without having initially shared data with Apple and your telco. This isn't some p

There's a few problems with this thinking. First you need to distinguish between what your phone knows and what Apple knows. Most of what you've described are things that only your phone knows. Through a judicial process of attain

Right now there is a desperate PR push to make Apple look like they wanted Facebook's ad business and that tracked ads really aren't all that bad. It seems part of a larger campaign to force apple to drop tracking protections by m

The issue with online privacy isn’t that ads exist or that the entities we engage with are able to provide us services based on easily ascertained information. These recent anti-DDG articles seem to have a privacy-weakening agenda. Each tri
