Some applications make use of this macOS feature, like CheatSheet or Shortcat. I wish other platforms had a similar feature, I only know of vaguely similar behaviour in Vim/Emacs which which-key.

Restricting read access is one of the missing features in monorepos. While they make a lot of stuff easier and trackable, I don't feel comfortable having every temporary consultant having access to all code at once.

Some stuff I'd love to see implemented: - Typed inputs and IntelliSense. There is very basic support for types, even so, I'd love even more strict types and type inference as in Typescript, so my terminal and shell can give me a h

In theory the giants that already hold the vast majority of all email communications - like Microsoft and Alphabet - are in a prime position to introduce a successor, hopefully this time with a receipt so the last argument in favour of fax

I don't think that Signal is a proper substitute for anything that email is used for. Maybe it would be better to work on more secure successors or extensions to email.

I have similar doubts as well. Especially considering that digital signatures and encryption do not protect against impersonation attacks, like phishing via facebok.com or other similar sounding domains, in either the case of websites or em

One of the largest holes in encrypted communication is still the fact that the vast majority of email is still neither digitally signed, nor encrypted. And even if they are, the usual schemes do not encrypt the subject line. I wish there wa

Do these implementations use the neural engine? I saw that there was a stable diffusion implementation using the neural engine and I found that my macbook noticably did not run hot, as opposed to an average Teams call.

Maybe you can start that list, on GitHub or something like that, so people can contribute.

No. On the contrary, GDPR explicitly allows data to be stored if retention is required for law, such as all financial data for 10+ years. However, there is absolutely no need to hold all this data "hot" in the production system an

What are the warning signs? The paths you described kind of describe things I do. Sometimes they are necessary and I am taking steps to prevent them. At the same time I worry I already shut down the warning signs. Sometimes I wonder whether

Of course the quality is horrible relative to a proper video, it just illustrates that txt2vid might not need 100B+ parameters.

There is a video model making the rounds on /r/stablediffusion and it is just a tiny bit larger than Stable Diffusion.
