If there were a law that stated the organisation (corp and gov) must reimburse people for their time wasted due to false accusations it would make a lot of these time wasters go away, when they know there is a consequence for these types of accusations they'd think twice.

I would support such a law.

Many people are saying Tesla FSD is far more advanced, and I've seen videos of A Tesla driving around LA for 2 hours completely autonomously so I agree Tesla FSD is the world leader by far and blows what Mercedes has built out of the water.

However Mercedes are taking liability whilst their system is in use which implies Tesla takes no liability whilst their system is in use.

I'm surprised Tesla is scared to take legal responsibility for their system and I am surprised lawmakers are allowing autonomous systems when the manufacturer doesn't believe in it enough to take responsibility whilst it's in use.

How is Tesla getting away with this?

Of course they can beat the competition especially if they do not need to take legal responsibility for any deaths/accidents that occur when it's in use.

I use digital text notes and digital paper notes (using a Remarkable tablet in the past, now using Supernote instead)

However for much of my life I still struggled to get more out of the system than the mere act of committing the note, which often is enough to make something stick in my memory for longer. (Especially writing a physical note on my Remarkable tablet)

So just that committing of a note was worth it.

Still, notes were one way for me for me, ideas and thoughts did not get revisited.

A few things changed all of that for me.

For my digital text note system, Logseq.

I finally found a system where I am able to amend, see, change, work with all my existing notes when creating new notes.

Now a new note uses blocks from other notes, I revisit old info more and more.

My mind works wonderfully with this.

Logseq is an infinite outliner, a bi-directional note system that allows for true in place transclusion (put editable excerpts of notes into other notes always editable)

Also Logseq has an incredibly flexible and powerful query language that is just nuts. I love it.

And then recently I switch my physical handwritten notes from Remarkable to Supernote.

Why?

Oh my God

Supernote let's me create inter note links!

My own handwriting, I can just select the vector text, and link to any page of the note or any other note I have to make a link.

It's such a powerful addition now my notes are becoming so much more powerful.

Links are great, they let me easily revisit old info when adding new which I find is awesome.

The Supernote is kind of on a wiki level with its link capabilities which I used to think was top tier but since Logseq bidirectional linking blows wiki based out of the water. However I can't see how to add bi-directional to Supernote easily? They are making a Linux based version soon so perhaps when they do if I upgrade I could write a script to add that functionality?

Anyways. Going back to Remarkable or paper without any handwritten note links is not possible. I've been spoiled.

Also I am working on a script to auto convert and retain links to my Supernote and integrate into Logseq but haven't succeeded yet. One day!

It's not about super intelligence leading to kill all humans by default, but among thousands of emerging super intelligences it only takes one to act against humanity to kill all humans, and that is the worry.

MacBook M1 Pro Max 2021

> Apple has always chosen form over function

Having used an M1 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro I can't say I agree with you on this.

Apple silicon MacBook Pro's are incredible - powerful, long battery life, fan-less most of the time, they are the breath of fresh air and kick in the butt the laptop/pc industry out of the stale state it was in.

The iPad Pro is an impressive device for digital art and other creative applications, giving Adobe and Wacom a bit of much needed competition.

I know many small business owners who use iPhone due to its stability and ease of use out the box.

Apple have many issues but I feel they have an impressive lineup of computing products of which are very functional.

I see your point. (I think)

However in this instance I feel that the current physics framework will describe what's being observed.

Either:

- Small compounding influence of various factors over billions of years can make something seem out of place or odd.

- some other influence in the planets past is to blame.

- or both?

- or something else within the current physics framework at play.

Or I am just being a stubborn old fool who really wants to see some cool physics rule breakage in their lifetime that would allow for things such as ftl or mind uploads but know this is pure fantasy.

What's more likely:

1. Our knowledge of physics requires updating due to this observation.

2. The thing being observed requires more observation because it doesn't currently make sense with our current physics framework.

I'd rather headlines and articles aim low and allow the reader excitement and discovery rather than be a let down where the reader is frustrated - the content of the article being nowhere near as exciting as the headline made it out to be.

A headline such as "Exoplanet discovered with crazy orbit" allows for the article to build, rather than take away.

I use Siri to turn on voice control when I drive. I have voice control number every item on the screen.

This lets me have 100% control of every feature/button and every app whilst I drive.

I can swipe on the screen using my voice.

I can write notes and messages.

I can switch to any app.

Voice control is a world leading accessibility feature that is a complete touch replacement controlled via voice.

Once I no longer need voice control I turn it off via Siri. The entire action of turning it on, using it, turning it off occurs with no touch at any point.

Also it's great for when I am cooking or doing diy and don't want to touch my phone.

In comparison Siri is better at a few narrowly defined actions but has less than 1% of the scope of voice control.

Reading people's complaints about Siri in this thread I feel what most people actually want is voice control.

But no one outside the visually impaired community knows about it.

I use Siri to turn on/off voice control which lets me control my iPhone without touching it (it's a disability feature).

When I no longer need voice control I use Siri to turn it off (I have my voice control set to label all actionable buttons on the screen so I like to turn it off when using my phone via touch.)

I'm not visually impaired however I find voice control super useful when I want control of my phone and rather not use touch or in a situation where touch is impractical.

Whilst Siri is good for certain tasks it lacks the ability to control every aspect of the phone whereas voice control is literally a replacement for touch control.

By combining Siri and voice control I get fine grained complete control of every app when I need it, all enabled/disabled via my voice. Such a brilliant combination.

Apple's attention to this disability feature is incredible. I only learnt about it after a visually impaired friend showed me how it works.

I learnt that voice control/voice over is the reason most visually impaired people use iPhone due to Apple's dedication to building world leading accessibility features.

At these rotation speeds (10h33m/45m) how much of the planets diameter is due to rotation forces pushing the matter outwards.

I guess the solution would require a comparison to a hypothetical Saturn that has no rotation. If that's even possible.

I kind of like the idea that these gas giants have more rocky planet mass in their cores than all the rocky planets in the solar system combined.

Hard to tell, this paper describes the core as mixed with the gases and in fact it may extend out to 1/2 the planet's radius in a fuzzy sort of way.

So these cores are not like massive Earths sitting inside with clearly defined boundaries but rather various gradients with fuzzy boundaries as they mix into the rest of the plant's atmosphere.

I wonder if Jupiter's core has a similar structure.

I pay for 5 TB and planned to use the drive to store a copy of my data.

Things I store that have lots of files:

- The frames for my Timelapse videos = 400,000 files

- The files in my Eagle app photo database = 400,000 files

- Other image files, my programming repositories, documents, music, stable diffusion Deforum frames = 400,000 files

80% of these files I've accumulated in the last 12 months and can see myself easily hitting this 5,000,000 file limit well before I run out of TB's

So now I know I will never be able to use all the space I'm paying for, I'm going to stop uploading my files and instead search for a proper backup service, something I should of researched in the first place.

Anyone here have any recommendations for a backup service?

Did you put theft under the wrong heading?

I've had many bikes stolen and everyone I know who rides has at least one bike stolen.

I've never had anything stolen from my car and no issues with car theft, and I don't know anyone who has had their car stolen.

I've met two people in my life who have had items stolen from their car, and in both cases they left their car unlocked.

Unreal to believe someone thought that detecting stress would illuminate fraudsters, people used to lying and making hundreds of calls daily, and not illuminate the stress of many who have to call the tax office and/or social welfare departments for genuine reasons.

When I had tax trouble years ago I was constantly in a state of panic and stress on every phone call.

How many parameters in this model?

Humans will not stop creating due to AI, instead AI produced works and AI assisted works will contribute to the total human output alongside non AI works.

No need to make websites or manifestos, do not worry humans will still human!

Hands are some of the hardest forms for humans to draw, it is no surprise these models struggle with hands too.

In a way, a hand contains more features than perhaps the entire human body from a forms/intersection perspective.

I think an entire model needs to be built to focus on just hands and then combined into a more general model, perhaps that will be the path forward?

There is the api that the website uses to talk to their server.

Of course automating image generation via any means (including the private api) goes against tos for good reason, I have never misused the api to generate images and have no plans to.

However I do use the api to download all my images and their metadata including prompts. Using the API I sync every image grid + 'upscaled' I have ever generated, generate a json file with all metadata including the full prompt and then use that to build my local archive.

Yes, there is a website that many users including myself use to generate images without ever having to use Discord apart from authentication.

It's a full blown web app with better options than the Discord bot, it has batch mode/select, remix, all upscale modes, works with every Midjourney engine.

They make it available to users who have generated more than 10,000 images as it's in alpha state and not able to withstand the load that the bot currently takes.

I believe after v5 focus they will make this web app public, but for now only a select few get to use it.

They warn users not to talk about it or share the link because they don't want it public until it's ready for full load which means over 10 million concurrent users.
