Maybe not for you, but I'm building miniatures for custom board games. Works great.

I've been just getting started on this with Astra. Astra is one-shotting good 3D models from photographs for me. I was unable to get Sol to do this, even after multiple rounds. It's not a small change, it's from "not use

They are likely going to have access. Lots of things have built in cellular modems these days, and your cable provider already uses your cable modem as a hotspot for other people. You can do things like physically modifying your TV, or seei

I have no idea what 'the orange cloud icon' means, as I'm not a CloudFlare used. But DNS/Name servers do not see HTML traffic, as the above poster mentioned, so it's not obvious how this change would matter. Is it t

Have you tried YouTube recently? Simply FINDING good media becomes the problem. I have no interest in AI slop, but it's everywhere. I don't choose to consume bad media, but finding good media is getting harder and harder.

On the spectrum or go gentle vs fight, I'd have to say, now is the time is history where "fight" makes the most sense. This is not abstract for me. I have not one, but two forms of cancer. Both were considered incurable when

Yeah. I'm gonna have an LLM rewrite Star Wars and then film it. Should be fine, right?

I knew two hyphenates who got married. They picked one non-hyphenated last name.

I find this follow on article really helpful: https://shinesolutions.com/2018/01/08/falsehoods-programmers... It contains concrete examples of each of the ideas listed in the first article.

That's cool. Thanks for the info

I get burnout from frustration when the LLM just can't follow instructions. Like when I'm trying to get it to create an image, and the first pass is beautiful, but ten different request to modify it, with different phrasing and ev

Not an area I'm familiar with, but do the chips really handle up in the gigabit IO? I thought they just handle connection setup. I had thought the gigabytes were not processed at all by the chips. They just flow through the wires. ?

Ah, but are you remembering to discount the future time saving, to get the net present value of the time savings?

No IBM PC references? Not one? I mean the 5150 pc not the 5160 XT they mention.

No, but you can form a syndicate, convince others to buy in, get your money out and still participate in the payout, if any.

No. Per Google, most HP printers are made in China. A more likely explanation has to do with the economics of ink jet printers. The ink sales are so profitable that HP and other manufacturers subsidize their printers. This leads to prices a

We need to stop pretending the VC valuations are meaningful. It's like asking someone playing roulette to value "13 black", after they bet on it. There valuations are always based on expectations of huge growth, not current v

Yeah, test prep was considered more for people who were worried about low scores. 1500 vs 1600 wouldn't make much difference in college admissions at that point.

That tells them everything they'd need to know to discriminate. If you took the SAT 40 years ago, it doesn't really matter if it was 42 or 47. People are biased 25 vs. 55 not 33 vs. 34.

by ____tom____ 3mo ago
I somehow doubt that the people that would ask for SAT scores would actually be the sort to think about how those numbers should most effectively be used.

There is probably more money in this as entertainment than architecture. And less liability. How many of us have made house plans at some point?

I wonder how long it would take on faster hardware. I have ten times that much footage, but 67 * 10 hours is a lot of processing. I might be better off getting something with a beefy GPU on AWS or Google cloud.

Your docs say you integrate with Davinci resolve. Other comments mention davinci resolve has this built in. How would you compare the two?

by ____tom____ 3mo ago
Perhaps I have misunderstood or was unclear. Everything the parent comment mentioned were implementation details that did not affect the correctness of the code. I just wanted to point out that there are implementation details that DO affec

Exactly. You can prove that f(a,b) always returns a+b. And then you overflow the int on that machine. Oops.
