This is image based, not text based. It’s very useful for a number of applications! I think your usecase is extremely promising assuming it results in better quality output than just running a modern object detector. Another usecase I don’t

Sure, my team and I created “style transfer” GANs to help people better understand particular data in light of other data (the latter of which is usually easier to understand but not always available in practice). It ended up getting strong

I am super familiar with the generative modeling space, have designed them and deployed to real prod, and I will say you’re right that generative modeling results can be hit or miss. But, I was more referring to the page layout, its unrelia

Ah that makes sense. Still, feels clunky and not compelling imo, but I may not be the target audience.

I am a big fan of hugging face, but whenever these examples come up, they always seem to be half baked and don’t quite work well, and are not compelling. I think it would behoove them to polish these a little more, in my opinion.

I saw this earlier, and while I’ve been using git for many years, I think this graphic made me understand git less. Maybe because most of my usage is committing and resetting things and not doing the more wacky git commands?

I absolutely love it. Tried it for a few days on vacation because the resort had a few, then started doing it at my work gym, then bought one. I was an athlete in high school and college and now in my 30s I’ve tried all kinds of aerobic fit

If it’s a variable there’s a reasonable chance it’s used more than once and thus saves more than four characters.

I used to work as a waiter when I was in my first summer out of high school. The calculus was similar there. When it was busy the tables turned as soon as the person got up, so I would often not emphasize dessert. The added $15 on the check

Can someone explain whether there is a principled reason to not use all the sensors available and choose just cameras?

This sure is a lot of text, but I have no idea the context of what’s going on and haven’t heard any sort of controversy (though this seems related to _some_ controversy). I’m a little surprised they don’t lead in some of the intro paragraph

This is true with pihole. PiHole is one of my favorite pieces of software and true to this post opening a website off my home network can result in a horrible, ad-ridden experience. But installing PiHole seems to make a number of sites not

Precisely. It has no legal effect.

Have you ever seen those signs on the back of dump trucks on the highway that state something like, “Stay Back: Truck Driver Not Responsible for Cracked Windshields”?

The other poster roundly dispatched your comment about using a “crypto credit card” so I’ll defer commentary on that. On the others: the crux of my argument was adoption and usage, with the implication that cryptocurrency was better for the

This is really interesting. Copying to the scratch container is powerful and I’ve used it a lot, regularly, but occasionally something comes up where I need to use a more fully featured base to support things. One other downside I’ve encoun

I assumed making money was your metric, but if the metric is “change in currency from fiat to digital” I would argue that after nearly fifteen years of little adoption for mainstream, lack of ability to use cryptocurrency for anything but b

It doesn’t seem obvious that people who didn’t put money into cryptocurrencies were wrong. Even if you happened to through sheer luck buy low, sell high during one of the pops, that doesn’t mean everyone else was wrong any more than saying

So you evaluated a whole list of things against your requirements, then chose something not on the list of things evaluated that didn’t meet your requirements?

Mentioned above, but got into foraging lightly a couple years ago and found the community to be absolutely welcoming and open. I have not gotten a hint of not wanting to share.

Anecdotally I got into mushroom foraging a couple years ago and have used this app a number of times. It is completely unreliable.

Taking the book example further, I’ve often found that doing something I don’t like in the moment can more than make up for it in long term happiness or skills gained. Skiing is a good example for me. I hated skiing, hated learning it, hate

You’re right mostly. It is about reaching a meeting of the minds. And law isn’t some thing with “loopholes” and “one weird tricks” but contracts generally contain integration clauses that state that the entirety of the agreement is containe

This happens quite a lot, the answer is yes. One of the travesties of the American system though is that it’s often these videos that cause justice to be done when it would not be done otherwise.
