No need gor a china-style great firewall. Just compel your local dns providers to stop resolving that website. That's what they do for copyright violations

Easy to circumvent ? Sure, but most people don't know how, so you've made the website inaccessible to the vast majority

Depends on which ones. Embedding assets as base64 makes little sense nowadays with http pipelining.

Relyinging the least possible on js, and using CSS for animations sounds like good engineering to me

Right ? What a wild thing to say

Hell sometimes the ai may look at values in .env or other uncommited stuff. Its execution path may depend on which commands are available in the environment. The specific model and settings. On top of the inherent randomness if you havent set model heat to 0. i suspect it is very hard to get consistent reproducible ai runs

But then who's responsible for reviewing and correcting the ai-written code ?

I used to put swap on zram when my laptop had one of those early ssds, that people would tell you not to put swap on for fear of wearing them out

Setup was tedious

Indeed ?

The EU in its current form is mostly about markets. It routinely pushes for the sacrifice of government monopolies to the altar of the free market (see for a recent example the french train network). Most of its regulations are to ensure a level field for a balanced market.

Hell it pushes for free markets even when it makes very little sense (the eu electricity market and its weird idiosyncrasies are an artifact of that)

It basically bans member governments from printing money and imposes very strict limits of 3% GDP on government deficits. For reference the US deficit was 5.9% gdp this year, Almost twice as much. this greatly limits government control over the economy.

Socialist is a very weird term to use here. The eu is the epitome of neoliberalism, even more so than the us

As someone who worked on transformer-based diffusion models before (not for language though), i can say one thing: they're hard.

Denoising diffusion models benefited a lot from the u-net, which is a pretty simple network (compared to a transformer) and very well-adapted to the denoising task. Plus diffusion on images is great to research because it's very easy to visualize, and therefore to wrap your head around

Doing diffusion on text is a great idea, but my intuition is it will prove more challenging, and probably take a while before we get something working

In between the beds?? Does that mean the shower was right in the middle of the room ? So that it would be impossible to place a double bed ? This is the weirdest part to me

I tried that concept whith my ergodox when i had an arm in a splint, but i couldnt quite get my brain to wrap around it. I could type on the right key, but not press the mirror/switch key at the right moment.

What would have made it easier is if it could infer the right key like an autocorrect

Python has static typechecking which, while not perfect, works pretty well as long as you're not actually trying to circumvent it (or manipulating things "too dynamically")

This feels like something that should be opt-in, not opt-out. It feels trivial to have all clients that support it send a header stating they do, and it is ridiculous that the default is to allow sending reacts to clients that don't support them
