> Most are no more than a saas template on the gpt3 api (or chatgpt unofficial as ‘prelaunch’) or one of the stable diffusion api’s, with a bit of lazy prompt priming showing a few cherry picked demos. This is what really grinds my gears

Well said. Most of this shit just circles back onto itself. Unfortunately having a very public, very unequal distribution of rewards only seems to perpetuate the cycle, and with commodities where the service is the product and the reward,

Sounds like the name of an illegal warez / software / movie release group.

A better "hack" for linux users: Linux supports a "digital-only" modifier called "Hyper". You can use Xmodmap to set a key as hyper on press, and set Hyper-F[X] to whatever functions you wish to. Alternativel

This is achievable without copy/pasting eyes: If you're using the Automatic111 GUI, go to img2img -> inpaint, mask the area for one eye (on the forehead), enter prompt, and set padding = 0 and denoising accordingly (0.4 - 0.6 w

Grasp is an invaluable tool for me! Thank you so much for developing it!

Money sans "managers" at the top is a system taking the long way to suicide. Money with incompetent managers is a ponzi scheme. Money with excellent management is a cult.

Only if they somehow manage to hoodwink everyone by signalling exceptional competence. Otherwise, it mostly comes across as someone that lacks theory of mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind https:/

Why do people do this? I understand the motivation behind people making endless pages of generated useless content that they then use SEO on, but this is bizzare.

Books that I read (and re-read) in 2022 that I'd recommend to folks on HN. Ordered from most enjoyable / insightful to least. - Edward O. Wilson - Biophilia - Will Durant - The Lessons Of History - Freeman J. Dyson - A Many-Colo

I think a better distinction than "people vs things" is "interconnect vs push/pull".

Anyone think there'll be another editor that'll surpass VSCode, similar to how VSCode surpassed Atom (and others)? I used to think that there would be one, but now I'm not so sure.

Who's doing the marketing / promotion over at OpenAI? Very underrated effort IMO.

Nipping a fantasy =/= killing people Asking people to "take the quick way out", though, IS asking someone to kill himself for having an opinion you don't seem to like.

I don't think lone immigrants would immigrate if they had to cut contact with people they knew. It's also a big difference in outlook -- people that would scoff at life extension would also be the people ready to "end" s

I'm a fourth of the way in. Your outlook is fully alien to me. We die when we die. This struggle for X more years of life is at best vain.

That's very rude.

If you like that premise, you'd like to read "The Golden Age" by John C. Wright. It's hard scifi.

I think 100 is quite enough -- life is meant to be lived with people one knows.

That is exactly the right thing to do. Github (aka Microsoft) should take notice -- Valve could be a big software player in the next decade. "OSS dev payment pipelines / mentoring" is passé. Putting all their code into a LLM

In my limited experience, it does help, but only by making one accomplish a much more difficult task (learning to play the piano is much more difficult than learning to to touch-type). An example: https://www.youtube.com/cha

I'm in my early 20's, and I started using an ergonomic keyboard just to stave off the RSI worries. I don't have any issues, but I've been able to type easily with much more accuracy on this keyboard. Row stagger (norma

That is not how it works for me. I select a screen, set the scaling, and it just works.
