Edit to add: There are a number of Google Colabs for fine-tuning SD and I wonder if there are (or if it is technically feasible) to accomplish the same with other txt2txt models.
That being said, both products are solid and likely a matter of personal preference or specific feature needs.
AI platform - They could charge a subscription fee for access to premium features on its open-source StableStudio platform.
Consulting services - They could charge businesses for its AI and machine learning consulting services on a per-project basis or on a retainer basis.
Acquisition - A larger company with more resources could acquire Stability AI to scale its operations and reach a wider audience.
TL;DR: Don't lie, or trust will be lost.
I'd agree with the idea of avoiding overdraft entirely unless a customer signs up for it. I don't want transactions I can't afford to go through. I manage my accounts quite closely. For me such situation would be 99% an unintended transaction that I would like to cancel.
By letting such requests go through, banks put the burden on the customers to clean up after a wrong or, in many cases, illegal transaction.
YMMV.
I love the spirit behind this idea, but please know that Substack doesn't allow to set canonical urls on posts. This means that all content published outside of Substack will be considered a duplicate for SEO purposes unless Substack is set as the original source (which is the opposite of the suggested idea here).
— Flow: The most fitting for the HN crowd. A fantastic read about the state of flow in work and leisure. Great framework for unlocking what drives the mind towards fulfillment and happiness. I liked the ideas around how "order of thought" relates to personal satisfaction. I wished it talked about the "how" not just the "what".
— Man's Search For Meaning: An absolute classic. A moving but most of all inspiring book about the experience of a man in the Nazi camps. Stoic optimism. It opened my eyes to the relationship between suffering and self-actualization.
— I Remember: A book by Joe Brainard to be found in the poetry section but written in a unique unconventional style. Accessible, playful and moving. It created a lot of noise with it came out because of its format.
— Never Say You Can't Survive: How To Get Through Hard Times By Making Up Stories: The book I needed to read to reconnect me to writing to cultivate the spirit.
— Carbon & Silicon: This last one is a comic book. The story is an intimate (yet grand) robot saga that expands over centuries. A battle between immortality and decay. A joy to read. It hit me hard.
Jack didn't like that accusation:
> in 2021, the average American spent only two hours and 45 minutes a week with close friends (a 58 percent decline relative to 2010-2013).
I understand some people might feel uncomfortable about "AI chatbots" (about their inaccuracy, or "fakeness"). However I can't help to think that the future of humankind will be plagued by artificial entities that we will interact with as we do with other humans. It might be in the form of simple ELIZA models, some ML artifact or full-on conscious intelligences.
I suspect there will be huge benefits to virtual companions to help with this crisis of loneliness that afflict us. In any case I hope humans will evaluate these technologies by the value they derive from them.
And, yes, his reactions were baffling to say the least.
> She said the decision stemmed from her first few months at Yahoo, when she was spending a couple of hours every day in the cafeteria talking to any employee who wanted to chat.
Selection bias.
> Mayer decided on the ban after spending months frustrated at how empty Yahoo parking lots were and consulting Yahoo’s VPN logs to see if remote employees were checking in enough.
Confirmation bias.
Both clear examples of cognitive bias: reading into easily accessible data as a proxy for relevant valid data and using it to justify decisions.
Not to minimize the rippling repercussions a of slow economic growth, but this article is entirely framed from an economic perspective. A valid perspective, but also an incomplete one.
What about the impact to individual wellbeing? To community cohesion? To mental health?
If we ask economists if workforce disenfranchisement is bad, they will always say yes. Slow productivity is bad for the economy, but is it really “bad” for humanity.
I suspect the organizers of Chess.com are at the beginning of a cat and mouse game that will produce more sophisticated detection algorithms, which in turn will help develop more sophisticated chess engines.
I bet that for lovers of chess, who want to continue to enjoy their passion, this is a critical problem to figure out.
However, can we expect that in games, sports, arts, humans will continue to compete with each other without any forms of artificial aid? Or should we instead explore now what augmenting human's cognition means for our culture? Starting now might be the only way to creating a framework to ensure success (however we want to define it) in the long run.
I'm not advocating for scamming any service provider but in this case I'd have to assume that an invalid payment would automatically cancel the subscription.
Makes me think (and hope) something like this could be automated in the future, where readers could adjust the stylistic complexity of the any text they come across.
HIV transmission is related to sexual activity not sexual orientation. Being in an open relationship, cheating on your partner, performing unprotected sex, are all examples of behaviors that put people at "higher risk". Being attracted to your own gender does not.
