Veggie is a lot easier than vegan. Ghee is used a lot in Indian cooking.

Everybody did. Now we have everything.

Things get less well connected in the more eastern nations, especially heading down to Greece.

Disagree. Central Paris is something special. Like any European capital there’s tons of stuff to see and do.

It falls off off a cliff once you’ve done the centre though.

…but it all goes wrong again at the south coast. Even the locals leave for the summer.

Since Apple’s keynote this week.

You are, if you’re calling for Apple like features.

You might argue that “private cloud” is privacy preserving, but you can only implement that with the cash of Apple. I would also argue that anything leaving my machine, to a bunch of servers I don’t control, without my knowledge is NOT preserving my privacy.

I don’t understand the people who say they’d be bored if they didn’t work.

I think it’s that they would miss the sense of achievement that comes from a group collaboration on a shared goal. Doesn’t mean it needs to be what they do today, but I suspect you’d find these people in community projects if you didn’t have to earn.

Yes and no.

You have to eat less than you consume, and going to the gym doesn’t “burn calories” in a significant enough amount to make a difference. So there you’re right.

However, the biggest factor in your consumption rate is how much muscle you have. You can be laying in bed, but your muscles still need feeding. You just don’t keep muscles very long laying in bed all the time.

So, does the gym help weight loss? No, not directly, but increasing your muscle mass can.

While I was vacating my colleagues…

I’m reminded of a scene from The Wire:

(I know. I removed a comma from the quote, but that’s how I read it)

It does matter in distributed application on LANs. The thin client model is still in operation at a lot of HPC and similar environments. Laptops and Desktops just display what is being done elsewhere.

Remote X11 is a better user experience in that environment than anything else I’ve tried. It feels like the application is local even if it’s not.

Still worth trying.

The word “support” is used in a very corporate way in the ROCm docs. They mean in terms of support contracts, sending engineers out to customer sites, having people dedicated to specific customers.

The code works on more devices than they list, but they won’t enter into a support contract with anyone using anything but their latest and greatest.

“set the magic environment variable because the tool chain will mis-detect the architecture of your unsupported card”

I don’t think it’s misdetecting it. Rather it detects it correctly, tries to use specific support for that device, but then finds that the support was switched off at compile time. The environment variable forces it to pretend to be a different (very similar) device.

Clunky, yes.

…or the research is flawed. Gender identity was gained from social media accounts. So maybe it’s a general bias against social media users (half joking).

Oh no

Comparing base model to base model I think Cascade is quite a lot better than SDXL, but …and it’s an enormous but… It seems to have been shunned by the community.

Maybe nobody with resources to do training is interested in a model with commercial restrictions, or the multi-model flow was just too different for people. Not sure, but the output of the base model can be really nice. Not always, but I find the biggest errors are people taking on a painterly/waxy appearance rather than the arm turning into a leg body horror you can get with SDXL. I think the “compressed” Stage C works to keep the composition together across the whole image more.

Yes. The problem was the interviewer wasn’t prepared for a different correct answer.

Depends on the setup, but if these are tests where the interviewer is present then maybe that’s because they expect you to ask questions.

One of the biggest problems that happens in companies is that people get given a piece of poorly defined work and the developer doesn’t clarify what is required. They make assumption about what is required and end up producing something that isn’t what’s needed.

If you’re just launching into the problems without clarifying what’s needed, you may have failed before you even start.

The Charlie Chaplin ones?

I keep trying catalog but it doesn’t do anything.
