But you literally still are. If you weren't, it should be trivially easy to create these models without using huge swathes of non-public-domain code. Right?
body {
-webkit-user-select: none;
-webkit-touch-callout: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
In the circles I run in, most people who don't live with a romantic partner have at least two long-term roommates, mostly friends from college or made in adulthood. Several of these three to five person groups own detached homes together that no pair of them could possibly afford.
Famously, Shawnee, KS banned "co-living" a few years back, because (in the city council's opinion) too many people were living with others.
I would argue that Signal is a great example of this working quite well, and tons of normal people use Signal. It's no more frictional than WhatsApp.
Was it correct?
How did you know?
I'm not asserting that LLMs aren't useful. You demonstrate successfully that, to you, they are. I'm asserting that they're not orders of magnitude more useful than powerful, composeable interfaces to the software we already have - and they are orders of magnitude more environmentally and socially destructive.
That's not correct at all. You can, in fact, do all of these steps in a single command line program with Konsole (or iTerm2 on Mac, or Kitty - whatever terminal you're using, as long as it supports these features), imagemagick, and bash.
$ for size in $(seq 10 10 100); do; convert -resize $size% input.png output_$size.webp; timg output_$size.webp; done
timg, here, is https://github.com/hzeller/timg, but you could use anything that speaks iTerm2 or kitty. This approach generalizes easily, too; you can easily use this to vary any parameter imagemagick supports, like webp compression or posterization or dithering, and print out any parameters of the image, like size, along with the image itself.
> With the web version I can snap a screenshot with CleanShot X and then drag that screenshot straight onto the web page. I instantly see the different images, pick one that looks good to me, download that and then drag it into my S3 uploading software (Transmit).
In my workflow, I edit in Showfoto or Darktable, resize (or, in my case, more often dither and resize) as demonstrated, and then `cp` the appropriate selected image into my blog's main image folder. Hardly more difficult, and while you might not enjoy it, that's exactly my point - we can both make things we like, but you're asserting that LLMs massively changed the landscape overall, while I'm not using them at all.
I also have a script, which took about one minute to write, that cleans up the extra temporary images, so that's not much of a concern either.
No, not at all. Microsoft's argument is that training an LLM on code is fair use, and thus doesn't trigger copyright-based licensing at all. That's why they include unlicensed code in Copilot, which under a training-triggers-copyright theory they have no right to at all.
This is also doable with one line of bash via imagemagick in any terminal that supports the Kitty or iTerm2 graphics protocols, which is most mainstream ones (iTerm2 itself, Kitty, Konsole, etc.)
I don't say this to bash your techniques but to point out that there are other methods which permit quick prototyping and easy iteration, and that LLMs are, at least in my experience, not a paradigm-shifting improvement in this vein.
This is certainly one takeaway. On the other hand, this very blog post points out that a community member, Dzmitry Malyshau, did the work to get the program working on the OS he uses. Malyshau does not work for Zed, which is a for-profit company; as far as I can see, he gets nothing out of working on Zed, except that he and other Linux users get to use it. Perhaps, rather than characterizing Linux users as whiny, we could take away the idea that many Linux users are willing to put in quite a lot of work to make things better for each other.
I see this especially with STEM experts attempting to automate away activities traditionally associated with humanities subjects.
Can you give some examples? In my experience, most music, even music we think of as banal or boring, had a pretty significant amount of effort, and creativity, put into its creation.

So in other words, not only is this opinion not supported by the scientific evidence, it's not even really supported by mmalmi's personal experience. Phenomenal.
