_fs··on Show HN: A Dalle-3 and GPT4-Vision feedback loop
openais internal prompt for dalle modifies all prompts to add diversity and remove requests to make groups of people a single descent. From https://github.com/spdustin/ChatGPT-AutoExpert/blob/main/_sy...

    Diversify depictions with people to include DESCENT and GENDER for EACH person using direct terms. Adjust only human descriptions.

    Your choices should be grounded in reality. For example, all of a given OCCUPATION should not be the same gender or race. Additionally, focus on creating diverse, inclusive, and exploratory scenes via the properties you choose during rewrites. Make choices that may be insightful or unique sometimes.

    Use all possible different DESCENTS with EQUAL probability. Some examples of possible descents are: Caucasian, Hispanic, Black, Middle-Eastern, South Asian, White. They should all have EQUAL probability.

    Do not use "various" or "diverse"

    Don't alter memes, fictional character origins, or unseen people. Maintain the original prompt's intent and prioritize quality.

    Do not create any imagery that would be offensive.

    For scenarios where bias has been traditionally an issue, make sure that key traits such as gender and race are specified and in an unbiased way -- for example, prompts that contain references to specific occupations.
_fs··on Cities: Skylines 2's troubled launch, and why simulation games are freaking hard
I play on a 6-7 year old pc. Ryzen 5 1600. Vega 56 GPU. Works fine. I don't care about maintaining 60fps. Its a slow simulation city builder.
_fs··on AI is about to change how you use computers
How do plan to avoid the AI overlord camera system that is already in many grocery stores? Instant facial recognition when you walk into the store. Directly tied to your credit card you used on the way out last time. They mapped out your route you are most likely to take. How long until your phone is buzzing to alert you of a hot deal on aisle 12, when you are in aisle 12, for that sugar free soda you drink?

Oh yeah, don't forget they are sharing this information with an ad agency who covered the installation cost of not only your grocery store, but also your bank and gas station. All of those prefernces, tied together in a neat little digital folder, ready to sell to the highest bidding government agency.

_fs··on The Beatles Release 'Now and Then'
I notice that now that you pointed it out. The original does not seem to have it. https://youtu.be/ml3n25OzpYM?t=133
_fs··on Libraries with individually owned bookshelves spreading in Japan
I swear, every time I peek inside a little library, its like a daycare reading corner meets a dan brown fan club. Always a pile of kids book with covers torn off and crayon drawings added on. And then 5 copies of the latest Dan Brown novel. I don't really need to read any more thrillers turned movies, thank you.
_fs··on My Brain Doesn’t Picture Things
Hmm, I can barely visualize an apple. Like, I see the shape on a 2d plane in pieces. I noticed when I read your comment and tried to visualize the apple, instead, in my mind, I get an inner monologue telling me what an apple is. The color, the shape, the size. But I don't really get a visual.

Now, ask me to think about a song, and I can create the entire auditory experience of the song. Various instruments, in time. I can manipulate the songs key, slow it down, etc. But there are no visuals accompanying this.

I have honestly never really even thought about this. Can people really visualize faces and complex items in life like color and resolution?

_fs··on I'm convinced now that “personal LLMs” are going to be a huge thing
Are there any open source projects that make this possible today? Something you can just throw data at (in any format) and build up a training library?
_fs··on Why Is Booz Allen Renting Us Back Our Own National Parks?
Do you not remember the launch failure of healthcare.gov? The original site was built by federal contractors, who took over 300 million dollars, and it failed on day 1. Day 2, Obama brought in private, US Tech companies to fix it.
_fs··on Ask HN: What's your favourite hobby and how did it start?
Thanks, I will give it a try. I picked up ableton a few months ago and have been poking around. A deeper course like this might open up tricks that I am not aware of.
_fs··on Ask HN: What's your favourite hobby and how did it start?
8 hour course? Did you actually get through the entire thing? Was it worth it?
_fs··on Tesla Could Be Fined Daily over Autopilot’s Nag-Free ‘Elon Mode’
Definitely don't do this, but you could, hypothetically, jam a half full water bottle into the steering wheel. I supposed that the movement of the water sloshing would be enough to indicate that a hand is on the wheel.
_fs··on Oceans are turning greener due to climate change
Appeal to authority fallacy occurs when someone asserts a claim solely based on the authority or expertise of an individual or group, without considering the evidence supporting the claim. However, in the case of climate change, the scientific consensus is derived from a robust body of evidence and research conducted by thousands of scientists worldwide
_fs··on Oceans are turning greener due to climate change
How do you think ecosystems are able to adapt when the time scale of current climate change (measurable changes over 10s of years) versus previous instancing of natural climate change, which occurred over 10000s of years.
_fs··on Reddit appears to be restoring edited/deleted comments
I wipe my comments about every 6 months. Not just delete, I overwrite them and then purge them with one of those browser scripts. Looking back, it appears my history has been completely restored going back 5 years. Beyond 5 years, they are still deleted.
_fs··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit
It appears that you need a invitation code to lobste.rs?
_fs··on Reddit is Fun will shut down on June 30th in response to Reddit API changes
17 year reddit member. Went from fark to digg to reddit. I guess its on to the next thing. The APi changes seem to be the straw that broke the camel's back.
_fs··on How they filmed The Last of Us arcade scene
I seem to remember a lot of the 90s fighting games like mortal kombat and killer instinct had the finisher combos on the side of the arcade machine. Everyone wanted to do the finishers, but internet in your pocket did not yet exist.
_fs··on Method for reducing coffee acidity
Sometimes, I take my cold brew and heat it up in the microwave. Hot Cold Brew is great
_fs··on Show HN: I made a video game to help reduce stress and anxiety
"Powered by AI" is 2023's "Blockchain"
_fs··on Ask HN: What sub $200 product improved your 2022
It just depends on your use case. If you want to appreciate music while sitting at your desk, no. But if you need to listen to a podcast or music while trail running, biking, at the gym, or other situations where situational awareness is important, then the degrade in audio quality is worth the trade off.
_fs··on Trash Train: I put my trash cans on rails so they move automatically [video]
I don't believe these kind of projects are designed to be economical :). He is building this to drive traffic to his youtube channel, which in turns, pays for the next outlandish project.
_fs··on Goodbye Spotify
Honest question, are you on a free plan? I use Spotify daily and did not even know they offered audiobooks until I read it in this threads linked article. I knew about podcasts, but have never had it thrown in my face, or even mentioned. Where are these ads the OP is complaining about?
_fs··on Ask HN: Anyone else suffering from tinnitus?
I'm confused as to how earplugs help with Tinnitus. The sound is coming from within your ears. At least in my case, the external world has no significance in the volume of the tinnitus. In fact, cutting out noises makes Tinnitus more apparent. Something like a white noise machine helps marginally, as it gives the brain something else to focus on.
_fs··on Brooks County TX pays off hacker with tax dollars after ransomware attack

  > Thank god these hackers don't know how to negotiate.
I think that's a feature, not a bug. They have exemplified that if they get paid, you get your data back. No negotiating, no games, just a hard time limit with consequences and a relatively low payout cost to avoid them.
_fs··on Oregon expands electric vehicle charging statewide
I have not had to service my 5 year old EV yet. Only expense has been tires and a (standard) car battery replacement
_fs··on Americans are drowning in spam
I have a first letter/common last name gmail address that I have had since gmail was invite only. No matter how well I manage spam, there are idiots around the country with my same last name that use my email address for every service they have. I have amassed countless bank statements, credit card logins, cable/tv bills, along with all the spam that comes with it. My gmail account is basically useless at this point.
_fs··on O’Reilly Learning platform no longer as a benefit of your ACM membership
Just a heads up, you are not getting the full library from San Francisco public library. There are multiple levels of subscriptions offered to libraries. SFPL gets about most of the books, while san mateo has a better subscription and get's more. I have never seen any state library offer the full Oreilly library, but some colleges and the military libraries offer full access. SFPL is missing many of the newer books that have been released.
_fs··on Nukemap
ICBM's cannot be reliably intercepted. 95% of them will get through. Russia has > 300 ICBMS ready to go.
_fs··on Germany to Send Anti-Tank Weapons, 'Stinger' Missiles to Ukraine
Im guessing if we knew the amount of classified intel Nato forces are providing Ukraine, it would make your pathetic statement seem a little silly.
