Well, with models like SD at least, the datasets are large enough and the employees are few enough that it is impossible to have a human filter every image. They scrape them from the web and try to filter with AI, but there is still a chance of bad images getting through. This is why most companies install filters after the model as well as in the training process.

Broken pasta is good for soups where the noodles should be small, such as chickpea or lentil soup. Otherwise, if you have a pot large enough to hold the noodles, there is no reason to break them.

Then buy shorter noodles?

Even with automating shitty jobs that no one wants, you’re still getting people out of a job and the only way they have of making money. This is kind of how people reacted when Boston Dynamics showcased its warehouse robot. It seems that we need a universal basic income first, but no politicians are willing to do that at least until unpleasant jobs are automated. There’s a bit of a chicken and egg problem there. And, on top of this, companies don’t care that much about automating shitty jobs because the people in them get low wages, so they don’t cost the company much to employ.

As someone who has tried out a lot of open source image AIs, I would say that ‘original art’ is something it can’t do. It can make a lot of stuff, but if you deviate too far from the topics it knows it just stops giving you what you asked for. In addition to this, most of the originality the generations do have comes only from the prompt.

It clearly does, and allowing this to be enforced clearly breaks precedent, but with how the Supreme Court is now who knows what will happen.

Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women. Over 10,000 others are missing and presumed trapped under rubble. Nearly all of the strip’s 2.3 million Palestinian population has been forcibly displaced, and a lesser number of Israelis internally displaced. Israel’s tightened blockade cut off basic necessities and its attacks on infrastructure have led to a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, including a collapse of the healthcare system and an impending famine. By early 2024, Israeli forces had damaged or destroyed more than half of Gaza’s houses, at least a third of its tree cover and farmland, most of its schools and universities, hundreds of cultural landmarks, and dozens of cemeteries.

We don’t know how many of the Palestinians killed were part of Hamas.

Doesn’t a 3070 have less than 7k cores? A UHD 750 (relatively recent iGPU) only has 256.

And I don’t know the structure of JSON that well, but can’t tokens be made of multiple chars?

I still use Windows as my main computer, partially because I got this computer before getting into linux and have built up a lot files on it, and because I have a WMR VR headset that doesn’t currently have controller support on the open source drivers (maybe once Microsoft kills WMR with the next windows version I’ll switch)

for a quick web based downloader I use cobalt.tools

Shutter encoder, it has a ton of useful tools built in for quick video conversion, compression, trimming, etc, and it works very well for batch encoding of a lot of different video files

Affine, its a surprisingly feature rich notes app (open source but all cloud features are currently paid)

If I was lost in the woods, a human would be more likely to have cell phone service or know the way out. And realistically, it’s just going to be some hiker or birder, which from what I’ve seen are generally welcoming groups.

Yeah, I think games just take longer to develop nowadays than anyone is prepared for, especially the managers. Both companies and gamers have yet to realize that there is only so much you can accomplish in a certain span of time.

It really reads like it was written by AI. I’ve never been to linkedin, maybe everyone talks like that there but it really sounds like it was written by ChatGPT

This really reminds me of the latest wendover video. It seems like large companies see small studios as an investment and take any chance to cash out and fire everyone as soon as it’s hurting their short term profits.

Currently any AI models that have the ability to make complex decisions are trained to recreate patterns from their training data. At its current state, you’d have to be pretty exceptionally stupid to make an AI that wants to kill you, and give it that ability at the same time. Of course - who knows what’s going on at all of these private corporations and military contractors, but I think regular war, fascism, and nuclear weapons are by orders of magnitude the bigger threat.

Double-ended extension cords belongs in the top left right corner. Sounds bad and is bad.

Remember, you’re probably more technical than the average person. Double ended extension chords sound fine if you haven’t heard of them before until you think about it for five seconds.

Remind me how Mr. Joe is protecting trans people down in the southern states?

The president can say “Hey Congress, can you make this bill?” but Congress has no obligation to listen to him. Unless trans rights are being violated specifically by executive agencies, the president’s influence is pretty limited.

It’s different with Isreal, in that Biden has to approve foreign aid bills made by Congress, he himself expresses support for aid to Isreal, and he has the power to make treaties (as long as Congress approves them)

Our government does not give him the power. I’m taking a class on the US government right now and this is literally just how it works. We give that power to congress and the states, and we can’t really change that without a constitutional amendment. This is with regards to trans rights in the south, he does actually have some more power when it comes to Israel.

Qualcomm is listed as having $10 billion in yearly profits (Intel has ~20B, Nvidia has ~80B), the news articles I can find about Rabbit say its raised around $20 million in funding ($0.02 billion). It takes a lot of money to make decent custom chips.
