Generative models does not work like that, if it were so, how do you explain that I can generate a picture of a purple six legged cat throwing lasers from the eyes in space?

In a very very very simplified way, the models are trained that from noise it de noises it until the image is “restored”. A part of the model learns to remove noise until a drawing of a child is restored, another learns to restore the image of a drawing of a nude woman. Basically you say to the model that from noise it has to restore the drawing of a nude child it combines the two proceses (also it is trained to combine things in a way that makes sense).

It says rubles but the axis is in dollars. Is it a typo or it has been converted?

And disk serial numbers 😟

I have another one unlicked, I accept $750.000.

I don't have it either

But I 3D printed a d’k tahg. Can I keep my Trekkie license?

I found a lot of them.

Spanish authorities have faced criticism for being too slow to respond to the floods, with alerts only being sent out to mobile phones late on Tuesday

And not everyone received it. It seems the Tuesday morning was an alert but a lot of us did get nothing, the second one at the afternoon reached more people it was when there were happening the floods. You know, the alert is helpful when is before the something you want people to prevent.

But nobody paid $100k for a Multipla that it corrodes by itself, right?

I’ve seen multiple people making fun of the car (myself included) but never the owner.

And also I share FlyingSquid opinion, it’s ugly but in a cute way.

But the best part? It's a $5000 work laptop, and my 6 year old Thinkpad (with Linux) runs laps around the thing any day of the week. Opening the file explorer takes, most of the time, 5+ seconds...

In my previous job I was doing Java development on e-commerce (Hybris, then renamed to SAP Commerce) and the laptop (a beefy thinkpad) took ages from powering on to being able to work, also Java compilation could take 30 min and just starting up the project on local another 5.

Had the opportunity to install Linux (the policy was that dual boot was required and don’t disturb IT with Linux issues) and oh boy, from turning on to being able to work was incredible fast. Compiling went from 30 to 5 min (with same Java official version from oracle in order to avoid any implementation discrepancies between openjdk and the oracle JDK in prod), and starting tje local server went from have enough time for preparing a coffee to seconds.

Unfortunately my current job only allows Windows and the policies are too strict.

Not too late but later than I should have:

• To seek professional mental health help
• To understand that Bisexuality really exists. Growing up and in my teens in media and pop culture it’s seemed that you either were gay or straight, no other option.

Wait what? Why?

I prefer paracetamol since ibuprofen can create secondary effects in the gastric system.
