Can't wait to see it mixed with multimodal GPT. E.g. real time advice and visual hints while repairing something.

Their slogan should be: "scuba diving into virtual reality"

But unfortunately for now it seems there aren't any viable self-hosted options...

It's better to disrupt your 90% revenue rather than to let someone else do that. In the first case you have situation under control, partially at least

If you know who to follow. It's still much to be done with account recommendations

Or people will get used to seeing make-up so much, that having it would be even more essential in IRL interactions

Timeline should not be focused on posts from local server. It should be tag oriented. I think it would be better to show users posts about their interests and hobbies from all around the network, on whichever sever they were posted.

What if I started my own server, just for me to manage my own data? What would "local timeline" look like then?

Exactly this. Also, servers should not be topic oriented. Imagine that email services did something like that: "it's email for plumbers and it's plumbers you talk mostly with here"

I buy a lot in polish online book stores. I've never seen any DRM-protected books yet, they always give me mobi and epub files which I can give to whoever I want. Maybe it's time to change where you buy them? :)

Just a reminder that tools like DALL-E could potentially:

* generate false surveillance footage of someone innocent stealing something just to give him a bad press

* generate porn video starring any person on a planet

* spread disinformation on a mass scale

Are we really, as a society, prepared for that? Too many people still believe everything they see on Internet, even before inventing generative networks.

Is it what tech companies really have in mind restricting access to their models? I don't think so, that just don't want competitors to take advantage of their work. But that doesn't change the fact that we should gradually prepare non-tech people of what's to come in the near future.

How is it possible that all of them just started to appear at the same time? Is it possible that those models were designed and trained in a last few weeks? Has some "magic key" to content generation been just unexpectedly discovered? Or the topic became trendy and everyone is just publishing what they've got so far, so they hope to benefit from media attention?

> if you read “France declares war on Canada”, you’re not gonna believe it

A lie that is repeated a thousand times becomes truth. We are not talking about one out of place, weird news that would appear once on someone's newsfeed. We are talking about mass flooding.

> unless it’s coming from an extremely reputable source

It's 2022, no one is verifying sources

> they only got even that far because because an eccentric billionaire has staked his reputation on the problem and thrown a huge amount of money at it

That's what Bezos did with its Blue Origin. If you check where is Blue Origin in space race, you'll quickly realize it's not enough

Edit: ah, and is space still expensive? If one of universities in my middle-sized country with no space engineering background could afford to launch cubesat via SpaceX, then yes, I think it became cheap.

> people were making convincing edits of street signs, etc. literally 20 years ago using just Photoshop

You needed to have tools, skill, resources and time to do such things. You don't need to have that anymore. Anyone can do anything on any scale.

It's something what SpaceX did. Ofc it was possible to launch a rocket before SpaceX, but few really could afford that. Now that prices are low, that opens infinite number of new space exploration possibilities.

I have been programming since I was 10 and I had exactly the same regrets as you. Stop thinking you should use your life in a "productive" way. You don't exist to be "productive". Just enjoy your life.

Ahh, this technology moves so fast I'm not even able to even keep up with reading about it. Not to mention trying it myself.

Great app for discovery of interesting places nearby, especially while walking/hiking/riding a bike. But search is quite bad. Also maps are often loading slowly, it happens that you zoom in just a little bit and entire map is gone and you need to keep waiting for it to appear

IMO the issue here is just that people think of git as it was something like SVN where you need to have some kind of external server to host project. Which isn't surprising as most of the time (when you cooperate with others) you do exactly that: push changes to one server. Idea of decentralization and independent copies of repositories may not be easy to grasp for newbe, because it's really technical concept.

Does it just download pre-trained DALL-E Mini models and generate images using them? Because I can't seem to find any logic in that repo other than that. I'm not into that field, just curious if I'm missing something.

I wish they asked more about remote working, e.g. "Do you work for a company that operates overseas?". I'm also curious how does those answers differ by country: which nationalities are most open to work remotely for foreign companies? Where do people from my country work when they work remotely abroad?

But does it really matter? If we can just replace, one-by-one all neurons in brain with artificial ones and that would not affect consciousness of the user, then we've just proved it's possible to have a thinking machine

Obviously wikipedia.org. Nothing better has been invented in 20-some years. I honestly feel relief when I research some topic and it has Wikipedia page on it, so I don't need to dig through some sh**y blogposts

Edit: I mean: it's one of the very few websites that actually provides sources of information. It's insane it's that rare these days. And most important facts are just placed in visible and easy to spot place, no need to dig through author's life story, thanks for subscribers etc. before getting to the point.

Stack Overflow badges are IMO the best example of how such feature should be done. They all make up a great summary of all actions that are considered to be useful in community. They are encouraging to raise flags, upvote questions, visit website regularly. You can quickly learn features that you haven't tried yet from "Next badge" section in your profile. They are just encouraging learning about how website operates in a fun way.

Most satisfying animations I've seen in a long time. I just can't stop staring at them, they are wonderful.

Are there any other possible use cases of this language other then image or maybe in-game world generation? Do you consider it just as an interesting academic problem or do you plan to use it somewhere?

1. Rider provides really good linting and static code analysis out-of-the box. I've once opened my project that I've been developing in Visual Studio and it gave my a sh*load of actually useful hints on how to improve my code. 2. Typing is also much faster, once you get used to snippets your code just writes itself :) 3. Lots of built in tools, I just didn't even need to install any database management tool as the one built in in Rider is enough for my needs 4. I tend to use mouse in Visual Studio more. Don't know the exact reason, maybe it's because Rider gives a really powerful shortcuts like "Shift+Shift" and "alt+Enter" that are easy to remember and does most of the job.

But it may also be, that it's just because it works on Linux. I develop mostly for Linux servers and use Linux tools that obviously integrate better with Linux-based OS than on Windows. There is WSL, but still, experience is not that fluent.

I'm using Rider on Ubuntu and it's perfectly fine as long as you are developing web-related stuff (WebAPIs, Blazor, MVC). Rider is much better IDE than Visual Studio, also dotnet is really terminal-friendly these days.

A year ago I needed to quickly do something related to Xamarin and as far as I remember I actually had to move to Windows for some reason, but that was the only time. I'm not even sure if it was related to inability to run stuff or it was just too much tinkering to launch that single thing.

Ahh, what a disappointment. Being able to subscribe to hashtags is the feature I wanted to see for so long and when I saw the first comment, I thought they did it finally. But no, it's not what I needed. It should not be called "subscribing hashtags", but "pinning" them

> The problem is getting the competitor to have traction

The mere fact that the platform belongs to him can help a lot

Also this one:

I'm wondering if he really wants to make Twitter open [1] or this entire thread and twitter-related surveys on his profile is just a justification for taking over this platform. I mean, Twitter is one of his most vital way of promoting his companies and would totally makes sense for him to ensure no one would shut him down and that he maintains broad reach on this platform.
