I have to clarify I am visioning DALL-E-2-PORN.

Couldn't you just scrape porn to get copious amount of dataset? Scope would be narrower and thus require less classification and in general it has common themes.

I'm more concerned how expensive it will be to train it on GPU instances. We are looking at A6000s right? That's like $15/hr.

This is so cool I had no idea this was possible I would often seek a particular segment manually. Thanks!

What game engine and stack did you use to finish this? It's very well done, how big is your team and how long did it take to get to beta?

I didn't know this...how do you show transcript?

this is one of the greatest trailers i've ever seen its hilarious!

those **ing pirates!

im going to buy this and play it!

Unfortunately this will be a 3-sigma recession. Once every 100 year type of thing. The last one lasted 10 years followed by a major world war.

If you want to look at what happened to advanced economies that got a taste of credit bubbles Japan is a very good example. 40 years later and still have not reached their ATH.

So if that dot com bubble lasted 2 years, this recession will last a lot longer.

In addition the door is closing on entry level junior SWE positions other than FANG. Many businesses do not want fresh grads or bootcamp coders. The tools have gotten so good that they have automated/replaced much of the grunt work. So it is down to experience.

Generation Z is utterly screwed and its sad because they live in the product of the world created by our generation and the previous.

We are witnessing the beginning of the end of small governments. The only path to stability is no longer the markets but a large government that struggles with growing wealth gap, aging population, healthcare.

As in the past, 3-sigma recession was always followed by a global armed conflict. George Soros talk at Davos confirmed this.

Contrarian advice: This is the best time to take on student loans. We are entering a structural shift in how our global economy fueled by a credit bubble post 08.

It is going to be much much worse than 2008 and 2000, combined.

They are not going to be able to collect student loans for a very long time.

Yeah I mean if you look at the IPO of YC backed businesses they are all down on average -70% from its previous ATH. Now ask yourself, how much of a run way would non-IPO businesses sustained by cheap capital has left.

People aren't joining YC to build a sustainable business. They are doing it for a shot at selling their shares on secondary market if they can't IPO, or dumping it on retailers through direct listing

The good news is that these failing startups will end up generating a ton of businesses for those that had been financially stable and conservative. Those are the ones to look at.

I see, so is it routing requests to a single instance or is it routing it to the nearest instance to the user? How will it scale if there are lot of users in a particular city?

Oh good, you are becoming self-aware

interesting, i was more pointing to the cold startup time on lambda with docker images vs this.

    Deploy App Servers
    Close to Your Users

is there a timeout limit to functions? This piques my interest but I can't tell if fly is a serverless function provider or some way to deploy my docker closest to my user (which is what I am looking for right now)

What guarantee is there in terms of average latency for my users? Is there a looking glass of sort where I can ping/see all the locations where my docker images will be running?

a dedicated 4-core 8gb ram is $124.00/month which is 4~6x more expensive than running on KVM vps so I want to know what I am signing up for

edit: I see the list of locations and it makes me think, aren't I already doing what fly.io is doing? I spin up a VPS instance at one of the locations that is closest to my user. It takes about 30~120 seconds. It's far far cheaper

are you sure you can offline?

It's funny to me why people aren't aware of CDK. It's literally no different than writing code. You don't have to depend on anyone, you can customize this to no end, its part of your codebase.

    from aws_cdk import aws_s3 as s3,naws_iam as iam,bcore

    class S3Template(core.Stack):
        def __init__(self, app: core.App, id: str, **kwargs) -> None:
            super().__init__(app, id)

            myBucket = s3.Bucket(self, 'MyFirstBucket', 
            bucket_name='balkaran-aws-cdk-s3-demo-bucket')
            myBucket.add_to_resource_policy(
            iam.PolicyStatement(
                    actions=['s3:GetObject'],
                    resources= 
                    [myBucket.arn_for_objects('*')],
                    principals= 
  [iam.AccountPrincipal(account_id=core.Aws.ACCOUNT_ID)]
            )
        )
            myUser = iam.User(self,'s3User') 
            myBucket.grant_write(myUser)

    app = core.App()
    S3Template(app, "S3Template", env={'region':'us-east-1'})
    app.synth()

both are still much more expensive than KVM vps with more cores/ram/bandwidth and storage.

How does this compare to AWS Lambda's docker support

If he mentioned that today he would be cancelled. Already I see people anxious that plastic is being somewhat degradable because it hurts their narrative that plastic = evil.

It's funny to me that we need to destroy more trees for a manufactured moral panic

I believe this comes from close contact via air droplets for pro-longed period. Not sure what the sex angle is here since its the air droplets becoming airborne but requiring close proximity.

my concern is then, is there a chance for this to become mutated and transmit? Say in a night club, stadium and concerts?

What is really curious is this:

    The name monkeypox originates from the initial discovery of the virus in monkeys in a Danish laboratory in 1958. The first human case was identified in a child in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970

Are there known interactions with locals and monkeys? Are they consumed?

edit: so there is consumption

    monkey meat is common in bush meat stalls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Central Africa in general, with red-tailed and crowned guenons, baboons and agile mangabeys being the most common

well what is perception? It is mostly visual, sensory, temporal, olifactory, auditory and sensory. Visual audio have received far more attention than the other areas. We still don't have digital smell generator, we don't have micro tactile bodysuits with genital stimulation, nor do we have digital taste.

In the future, once we have complete mastery of all facets of human sensory inputs, we can record and manipulate experiences.

Web development has gotten much more complex these days and while RoR still strong, Python has gone "mainstream"

This chart alone should be telling. Ruby has more learning curve, smaller set of libraries and stable but slow rate of innovation. The returns aren't that great for something like Python developers who can be trained on most tool in its ecosystem.

This is not something you can train on a regular AWS gpu-instance without racking up millions of dollars in bills to my knowledge. Dataset isn't an issue its a capex issue.

was that snark necessary? this article is about python. i have no interest in ruby

this is a game changer. i did not know f-string could be used like this, i was largely satisfied with being able to not have to use the awful 2.7 era percentage symbols.

even more reason to love python, right now for me slots and dataclasses is my new obsession. there was a great article that was posted here that went into details about 3.8 and up that featured all these great python hacks

and you know this because you've spoken to the author?

whats right or not is completely an internal dialogue that you engage with and irrelevant here. if you dont like archive.org crawling your blog, the correct action would be:

- dont write it

- dont submit it on social media with unknown side effects

Are you blaming me that archive.org crawls the web and makes archives?

why stop at audio? the pinnacle of this would be text-to-videos, equally indistinguishable from real thing.

when will there be a "DALL-E for porn" ? or is this domain also claimed by Puritans and morality gate keepers? The most in demand text-to-image is use case is for porn.
