    This is image based, not text based. It’s very useful for a number of applications! I think your usecase is extremely promising assuming it results in better quality output than ju…

    Sure, my team and I created “style transfer” GANs to help people better understand particular data in light of other data (the latter of which is usually easier to understand but n…

    I am super familiar with the generative modeling space, have designed them and deployed to real prod, and I will say you’re right that generative modeling results can be hit or mis…

    Ah that makes sense. Still, feels clunky and not compelling imo, but I may not be the target audience.

    I am a big fan of hugging face, but whenever these examples come up, they always seem to be half baked and don’t quite work well, and are not compelling. I think it would behoove t…

    I saw this earlier, and while I’ve been using git for many years, I think this graphic made me understand git less. Maybe because most of my usage is committing and resetting thing…

    I absolutely love it. Tried it for a few days on vacation because the resort had a few, then started doing it at my work gym, then bought one. I was an athlete in high school and c…

    I used to work as a waiter when I was in my first summer out of high school. The calculus was similar there. When it was busy the tables turned as soon as the person got up, so I w…

    This sure is a lot of text, but I have no idea the context of what’s going on and haven’t heard any sort of controversy (though this seems related to _some_ controversy). I’m a lit…

    This is true with pihole. PiHole is one of my favorite pieces of software and true to this post opening a website off my home network can result in a horrible, ad-ridden experience…

    This is really interesting. Copying to the scratch container is powerful and I’ve used it a lot, regularly, but occasionally something comes up where I need to use a more fully fea…

    I assumed making money was your metric, but if the metric is “change in currency from fiat to digital” I would argue that after nearly fifteen years of little adoption for mainstre…

    It doesn’t seem obvious that people who didn’t put money into cryptocurrencies were wrong. Even if you happened to through sheer luck buy low, sell high during one of the pops, tha…
