Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • An AI has been accepted as a student at the Vienna art school that twice rejected Hitler.

  • I can get the anger people have and all that, but as a general tech they're still impressive all the same.

    Running from a consumer piece of hardware I can take a model maybe 10-20 GB in size and tell it a few things I want. Then based on what it knows those things look like (or text or sound, whatever just picking on images) it creates something from the void. Sometimes stupid things, but something.

    The model was created from images already existing but it doesn't store them whole cloth and just paste them together, so even if one where to think of it as derivations of existing images, at the very least it's an impressive storage compression to hold so much in a relatively small space.

  • We're truly having a great people's revolution are we not comrade? Soon those filthy rich dogs will be begging for our support.

  • It got people to talk about it and take interest in what is going on. There are undoubtedly some portion of the population that are fully oblivious of the world around them, or just indifferent at least, but someone going on for that long has to make them wonder why he would do that.

  • Policies, not price gouging, to blame for California’s soaring gas prices, study finds

    Jump

  • Because Fox News would never shift blame from the oil industry to those libs out in CA, they're known for being fair and balanced.

  • Don't do it, you really don't want to try and race us to the bottom when we have a solid head start.

  • Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs

    Jump

  • Not even 3, barely into April...

    If anyone isn't a neurotic wreck after a couple years of this they where probably not fit for polite society to begin with.

  • Trump announces sweeping new tariffs to promote US manufacturing

    Jump

  • I'd take bets on it, how many times where Canada/Mexico on/off/adjusted withing a couple days?

    Edit: my guess is whenever he makes some big sweeping gesture it's because his other hand is pilfering out collective pockets somehow.

  • What's he trying to distract people from? We know perfectly well these won't actually happen.

  • They'll be reverted as soon as he gets some flattery and palm greasing from the right people.

    Dordash! Delivering your next cold!

    Jump

  • The overall trend presented in the article is in a positive direction, which is particularly notable given that it seems these 3rd party delivery services have grown significantly in that same time.

    So why are you commenting as though it's some dystopian oppression by corporate overlords?

  • Denmark, Netherlands react to Trump's DEI ultimatum

    Jump

  • So now he thinks he can make demands extraterritoriality, awesome. I don't suppose he would make demands like 'stop invading and murdering you neighbor countries and their people' now would he? Nah, let's drop sanctions from Russia and who is this Israel place that he was meant to stop from doing bad things, I haven't heard much on them of late....

  • Today is the day of the FL-1 and FL-6's US house seats special elections. Despite being super red, Republicans are worried they could lose. Make sure to vote, if they do flip it'll likely be close!

    Jump

  • Half way to a flip just with the FL already, would love to see it.

  • Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)?

    Jump

  • I mean, they might be very strong. So strong in fact that others may wish to come join on their rock. Perhaps for their strength these newcomers could make some payment to them to help defray the costs of protecting their space and providing services...

    Jump

  • In that case though you own the property, however the government or courts can attach a lien to the property IF you fail to pay taxes as part of your dues to society for things like roads and schools.

    Don't like paying for such things? Go find some rock in the middle of nowhere and make your own way outside of the bounds of an established nation and provide for everything yourself.

  • Does such a device exist?

    Is there a non leftist version of this website?

  • So much red in that post history... This is not the place for you.

  • Lithium-ion battery waste fires are increasing, and vapes are a big part of it

    Jump

  • Stop selling disposable vapes, this is not complicated. I've since stopped but first encountered vapes back when they called it e-smoking and the devices where really crude. After a few years they finally got something decently reliable and reusable down and people had their personal device.

    I'm not even sure when disposables became a thing but the notion of use one and discard electronics is nuts. The whole industry could do well to come up with some standards so you don't have to search out some specific model of atomizer to fit a certain piece, but it's not impossible.
