It's largely an artifact of classifier-free guidance used in diffusion models. It makes the image generation more closely follow the prompt but also makes everything look more saturated and extreme.

Sounds like the Lishen batteries might have a safety issue when charged fully. Not sure why else they would limit the charge on them. At least they're offering free replacement or cash payment.

Very cool. This is exactly how I would expect ChatGPT to be integrated into a search engine - removing the burden of of reading multiple results to find the complete answer to your question. Let ChatGPT read the results and provide a summar

I hope developers still default to making their personal repos public after this change. One of the fringe benefits of GitHub is the ability to search across the entire site for uses of obscure, poorly-documented APIs. Defaulting to most re

I think another factor for the marathon finishing time discontinuities is the use of pacers --- people who run carrying signs at a pre-defined speed (usually targeting a specific finishing time, e.g. 3:15). Lots of people who have finishing

I'm curious - was that TV edge-lit? I've been on the search for a suitable TV for this project for a while now. Most of the cheap/broken TVs you can find are backlit with fluorescent tubes. I disassembled one and discovered i

For what it's worth, I'm still able to open and use Doxygen HTML docs without running a web server. Looks like it loads both CSS and JS. So I'm not sure what the changenote actually means.

I used Blendle regularly for a while, and noticed that their painless refund option really mitigated this "decision stress" for me. There were a few articles that just turned out to be garbage click-bait, so at the end of the arti

I got my Dad set up using GnuCash several years ago when I transitioned him from using an ancient version of Quicken on Windows 3.1. He's in his 70s and uses it to manage his small business finances. Although the dense menus can make i

Beyond the readability aspect, I really dislike that the programmer is required to make sure that the inline datatype matches the type passed to sizeof. If the API ever changes, e.g. to using a long, it has to be changed in two places, and

Why don't projects let you sign away your copyright so your contribution becomes public domain? Is that even possible?

Looks like a great project! The webpage mentions the app size, but no mention of RAM usage, which is a bigger concern with Electron apps to me. Can you comment on how it compares?

When I was first learning git, I found an online visualizer like this [0] that really helped make make concrete the ideas of git history being a graph, and what different operations did on that graph. There was still obviously the issue of

A capacitor shouldn't allow electron flow between its (dielectric separated) plates. The charges should build up on the plates, then exit through the terminals when discharging. If charges cross the dielectric, then you have leakage.

As a soon-to-be college grad, I can attest to this. I applied and interviewed at a number of big tech companies, but explicitly avoided Facebook because of ethical concerns. On the other hand, I know of only a few classmates whom I believe

Personally, I feel like if I calculate an exact 15% to the penny, I'm being petty. So I'll typically calculate the exact tip, then round up.

That was my first thought, too. It seems quite plausible that the exact skills suited to doing well in sales (competitiveness, focus on short-term gains, etc.) may be the exact opposite of skills suited for managing. The article's ge
