What happens if you give an image prompt like "mona lisa", "daffodils van gogh", or similar designed to describe an image the model was trained on. Will it generate that image? Or for written works, start with a sentance

So put the charge on the entrance to the bathroom so you have to pay to get into the bathroom. That is how bathrooms in London train stations and airports work. Then it does not matter if you are going to use the urinal or stall, or even th

IANAL, but what you should be able to do is have a set of quotes of one or two sentences each from various sources (books, TV, movies, etc.) that have the modern word or idiom you are specifying. That should then be small enough to fall und

Mis/dis-information is not only located to the fringe/tail-end. See for example: 1. The reporting of the Hillsborough disaster by The Sun, The Times, The Spectator, and others [1]. 2. How Martin Bashir secured an interview with Pr

I've generally found that things like the part of speech type is inconsistent, so the wiktionary files require a lot of work to extract the information from them if you want to use the data for natural language processing tasks. I&#x27

I suspect it is designed to describe images, like you would find in alt text but run in reverse. As your first example is closer to English it can do a better job than with the second example, like how the Jabberwocky poem contains nonsense

There's an interesting Google TechTalk on YouTube called "The Next Generation of Neural Networks" from 2007 [1]. In that video, there is a demo [2] that showcases the neural network recognizing numbers when given a drawing of

I tend to write lots of tests at each level -- lexer, parser, AST, etc. -- to cover the different BNF grammar statements. I've done this with an XQuery and XPath parser I wrote for IntelliJ. You can cover the different lexical variatio

The general approach is to refactor/generalize when creating a third version of something. With the first thing, you don't know if it needs any common functionality or what an appropriate abstraction will look like. With the secon

On some projects I maintain a set of local fixes that I regularly rebase on top of the latest code. I don't need to run a bisect on those. I've also managed other projects/branches like you have, merging the changes into my w

I personally find the "Living Standards" from WHATWG difficult to use. Specifically keeping track of what has changed with things like what new HTML elements have been added. With the versioned standards, I can work towards suppor

I've already noticed several things not working on Firefox that work on Chrome and Edge, such as the Discord age selection dropdowns -- clicking on them does nothing in Firefox. It's frustrating as I use Firefox exclusively (outsi

And with the Path of Exile inventory space purchase, the game is effectively a free trial with an optional purchase when you get sufficiently far into the game for inventory space and management to matter.

IIRC, the Borland C++ STL implementation made use of buckets of consecutively allocated entries so you would generally find consecutively inserted items next to each other in memory. You can also define your own allocator that does somethin

The idea behind Big-O notation is how the time generally varies as you increase the number of items for a given algorithm on a given data structure/data set. That is if you plot a graph `y=f(x)` where `f(x)` is the time taken to perfor

Early 3D graphics clearly fit the "haven't aged well" category. Most of that is due to the low polygon count making the models look angular.

If they made a film of this or a similar style story, it would be interesting to do it in a slumdog millionaire style where the character picks up some things playing video games, some from a case where the nato phonetic alphabet is used, s

I contacted my UK bank about this and they switched me to using an email confirmation where they send the OTP code to instead of via SMS. For my digital account, they previously sent me a card reader which the login process still accepts.

The issue I have with this type of thing is that it is difficult to work on the goal if you don't already have the funding to do so. This then incentivises institutions like Universities that can front that cost to work on it, and disi

Also, games like Stardew Valley use pixel graphics (pixel art) and that hasn't hurt their popularity.

My perspective comes from writing an XPath and XQuery lexer and parser for IntelliJ, which has its own lexer, parser, and AST APIs. The XPath lexer and parser are designed to be overridden where needed to implement the XQuery lexer and pars

This is the difference between building a parser for a compiler and for an IDE. For a compiler, you want to stop at the first error. The parser can also emit an intermediate representation as it goes, so that what it is processing is not ne

What I find interesting about The Witness is that it has different layers to it that all fit together. Some spoilers ahead. On a surface level you explore the world, find puzzles, and solve them. On the next level is the scenery. There are

How would such a competitor be created and work? How would they gain sufficient market share? How do they gain influence in the standards organisations to push for changes they want instead of what Google wants? If such a competitor were to
