mIRC is one of the best chat programs on the market these days. It uses megabytes of ram at most for hundreds of channels. It's a modern technology miracle and I wish more people used it.

Food costs money. When the price of your labor becomes zero, you can't afford to eat.

Author of the article here. As far as I care, if it quacks like a hashmap, it's better to describe it as a hashmap. The fact that it's an associative array under the hood is irrelevant.

If you have a compatible Apple device, generate a few dozen images with Image Playground. The device heats up a lot. It's assuredly on-device.

I shoot in raw from my iPhone and Canon EOS R6 mark 2. For my iPhone I usually use Halide's Process Zero to remove all the computational photography garbage that I can from my images.

No, it's worse than DALL-E 3, it's an on-device model that can only reproduce placid soulless images. The ones I put in the article have been heavily cherry-picked. The worst ones get far worse. DALL-E 3 can at least do text. Orig

It's an AI generated taco smoking beer, I don't think it really needs defense. If I were to create such an illustration for my blog from scratch, I'd probably use that to communicate abusurdism in a light-hearted manner. I&#x

https://halide.cam/ has Process Zero, which is about as close as you can get to straight off the sensor. Here's a photo I took with it: https://bsky.app/profile/xeiaso.net/post/3le3dd53zl

No, I'm aware of the irony. I also wrote it down when I woke up, and you can see on stream that I copy it from a Discord message when I'm looking for it ( https://youtu.be/N_KNpVujAL8?t=14677 ). I figured you'd

There is a reason I do _extensive_ editing after the fact, here's the draft for Soylent Green is people [1]: https://gist.github.com/Xe/3fe0236412c1ce16389bfcd6c6562d7a The differences I added in editing are _vast

Hi, author of the article here. I do most of my drafting of these longer articles on a Freewrite Alpha, which is effectively an electronic typewriter. When I use it I have one rule: the backspace key is banned. This makes me restate my thou

The purpose of a thesis statement is generally to establish a conclusion and then over the rest of the article, the goal is to build up evidence to support that conclusion.

My guess: that requires bigger models than can run on local hardware, and the appetite for sending emails out to a server for classification is negative zero.

Author of the article here. I do video work occasionally and I use Davinci Resolve to do it. Davinci resolve uses generative AI as tools to help you. It makes all my subtitles and if I'm not going into domain specific terminology that

Article author here. Thanks! I've found writing on stream to be really hard, but it's getting easier with practice. One of the more frustrating parts is trying to get the pure thought nuance out onto the page in a way that reflect

My greatest gift is that I’m naturally glue. My most horrible curse is that I’m naturally glue. Sometimes I wish I could just turn it off and just do my job, but I can’t because I am just glue. I’m a support build naturally, I lift others u

Can you upload a picture on the company domain with your face, and holding a piece of paper containing your name, the date, the time, and the current bitcoin block number? That would make us more likely to believe you are properly human.

The main comparator is Kasane Teto and Suno. Kasane Teto is functionally a piano that uses generative AI for vocal synthesis: https://youtu.be/s3VPKCC9LSs . This is an aid to the creative process. Suno lets you put in a desc

My hope was that AI would make it easier for people to create new things that haven't been done before, but my fear was that it would just be an endless slop machine. We're living in the endless slop machine timeline and even genu
