Because it’s still pretty hard to make it and it’s bad - you can easily tell it’s fake. This makes it as easy as typing a sentence - and the quality seems fairly realistic

No because there are lots of photos of possum and space that it has seen

How do you suppose your CP generator will be trained without using authentic CP images? Not only will that require revictimization but you’ll also be downloading CP to train the mo…

Of course some level of censorship is needed, otherwise it can be used to produce porn involving real people without their consent (eg celebs)

Just so others are aware, me and this guy have been 'friends' since 2015. He sent me a screenshot of this comment on Signal before he posted it. Its just his way to not address wha…

Refer to our conversations over the last 5 years, or even the last 2 weeks

The fact that this has never happened before except when literal incitement of violence was being carried out (google for screenshots) and not being stopped, shows there's no reaso…

Scala really isn’t that complex though. It’s actually pretty intuitive. You CAN write bad and hairy scala code just like you can in any language. But that doesn’t mean the language…

Can you make it so I determine the user segment on my end and just send you the user id and segment id? I'd totally use this then.

I have a pretty large codebase written in scala 2.12 or so (whatever the version was around late 2018). I'd like to migrate it to scala 3. Any ideas how hard it'll be?

This is like saying, airplanes are too complex. There are so many knobs and buttons. I'd rather just walk or ride a bike everywhere. Scala is a very powerful, very expressive langu…

I agree, this occurred to me too. I don't want to share my user data with a 3rd party service.

See my edit!

Looks cool, but why can't I find a screenshot of what the widget would look like on my website anywhere? Edit: Found the answer on the video. Looks like nothing is shown until the …

This is really cool. I wish there was a way to have non-english speaking journalists as interviewers, I'd totally set them loose on many of my family members. Edit: Your homepage d…

I disagree, you can definitely improve the stuff you built in retool. As a dev it's saved me a lot of time from having to build non user-facing dashboards, etc that would otherwise…

Can you give any examples of those 'walking through walls' moments?

He made this site in the early 2000s using the store builder he coded in the 90s. His framework probably doesn't even have support for SSL (because it was written in the 90s).

Here's my ugly duckling: naminus.com

Why not build your own VPN protocol similar to VyperVPN, but make it so ISPs in repressive regimes can’t tell the user is using a VPN? What’s the advantage of a p2p model instead o…

That's a lot of typing, over 57 years. How did you avoid RSI, carpal tunnel, and other injuries / health problems related to programming for this long?

When I'm working on a project for myself, I tend to code in stealth mode, and don't talk to anyone or show it to anyone, until its 100% perfect and complete. This time, I, accident…
