I've been using KeePass for years and have recently switched to Strongbox which is an incredible app/ui to interact with Keepass databases for macOS and iOS.

The database is kept in sync with either Dropbox or iCloud.

A lot of notes apps seem to be adding some type of visual note-taking (is that the right term?)

Logseq now has a whiteboard feature that is similarly powerful.

When is SBF going to be arrested? I cannot believe he did this and lost US customers money yet he can walk free.

I agree.

As my business become more complicated and I become less a tech oriented student and more a "have to get the paperwork done for legal reasons" type person I went back to iPhone and never looked back.

I noticed many people I know running very time consuming business to be iPhone users too, not having the time to tinker with Android.

I notice my tech friends working in support love android, as their job doesn't really let them tinker. How we for those running's servers and dealing with backend stuff I see iPhone ownership is about 50/50, far higher than in support.

And most people I know that own their own business like I do are almost always iPhone users.

We just do not have time to dig deep into our phones and tinker, we have too much work to do and we are already stretched for time with our families, why waste that on configuring yet another Android ?

Another recent development: Midjourney v4 has much better "image prompt" abilities allowing you to feed in various images of a character you have made to allow further scenes to maintain the characters likeness throughout.

I've read people making comics and generate many different scenes say v4 now allows consistent character design.

Is there any option to set so that every image is automatically saved, and not to camera roll, but to the local app folder (same folder that contains this apps data)

Do you have a source for this?

This issue has been claimed many times and I've heard that DALL·E 1 & 2, Stable Diffusion & Midjourney all can create images that are exact copies of the training material.

This doesn't make sense considering the compression ratio of training images to model is about 1:25,000.

Further investigations I have made show that all these cases can be explained via the following:

1) The prompt included an image, so some form of image2image was used. Of course if you use an image as a base, and tell the model to stick closely to that image, the output will largely resemble that image.

2) The example was completely made up.

So far I have seen no evidence, given a text prompt, the output of an image containing some portion of any image from the training set.

It's not needlessly provocative human neurons have shown in almost every study to be superior to all other animal neurons.

Let the backlash happen and as a society let's put a stop to letting religious idiocy get in the way of science.

There is an entire field of study for ethical science and I stand behind that 100%.

Unethical science can get lost!

I'm not a progress at any costs type of person.

But is this actually unethical or just something a religious idiot doesn't like?

It's because there is no exchange, if I give you a birthday gift can that be considered income? Obviously not as I am not asking for something in return.

However:

If I buy you a gift and we agree for the gift you do task x for me. Now that is income and the value of the gift must be considered income on your tax return.

Disney isn't saying "here is a room for free if you do x, y , z"

Disney is saying "here is a room for free" and that is the end of it.

Of course the obvious issue for Disney is that the influencer might never do the review of the park and never in a million years could Disney take them to court complaining services were not rendered.

You cannot give a gift with expectation of return.

So it's not income.

But it's limited because the one giving you the gift really has to trust that you'll do the thing you do.

I am surprised Disney would bother to be honest. I thought their theme parks were popular enough already.

It's a farce.

Stable Diffusion cost less than $1 million to train.

I'm dumbfounded to see all the gatekeeping around these ML models considering this.

Within 24 months someone will train a stronger model with a $20,000 home setup and this gatekeeping ridiculousness will be dead for good.

I'm excited to see what $1 million gets you in 24 months, possibly a multi-trillion parameter NLP god. :p

If you're using Mac m1 DiffusionBee is a one click app install that I've been using to generate high quality renders in seconds.

The devs recently added img2img support too.

I had tried to install the more complete versions but I just end up in a wormhole of python and conda errors.

What I mean by the next few years is instead of upgrading eventually to the M3 Max version of my laptop I'll buy something not Apple. If Apple continue down this path and don't do a reversal on this move.

I would rather go back to cheaper computers and phones and deal with ads than pay for extremely premium products and get ads.

I feel like an idiot buying a $7,000 aud computer to have the native apps contain ads.

It's disgusting.

Incorrect I just checked that the stocks app on Mac OS does indeed have unrelated adverts.
