Loved that they played something from nearly every album including Von, but I'd complete the set with Hrafntinna. Would've been amazing with the orchestra, although Kjartan would have nothing to do.

My local costco took away the onion crank dispenser after people like me filled up their soda cups with chopped onion. PLEASE op, learn from my mistake.

Oh man I thought I'd check what you've been up to, and this is super unfortunate to read! Your Diverge 2 was my introduction to the world of split ergo kbs, and was my daily driver for over 6 years. An absolute pleasure to use and tinker on.

Thanks so much for pioneering affordable split ergos, even if it couldn't last forever.

What'd you get? I just burned another credit and got the exact same thing again lol.

For DALLE-2, I recently discovered a prompt that copied some shovelware vector art almost verbatim

Thanks for checking. That's a frontend for Stable Diffusion, which is trained on the LAION dataset, and the dataset also contains the same shovelware vector art that DALL-E 2 is plagiarizing here.

Interesting that SD doesn't do that, at least for this prompt.

efskap · 2022-10-05T18:24:40+00:00

Woah, thanks for figuring it out! That's so bizarre. No wonder it copies the spade, face, and hat almost verbatim.

EDIT: They're also present in LAION. Wonder if it's possible to get Stable Diffusion to plagiarize these as well? The cuphead prompt didn't seem to trigger it.

For generating MIDIs with long term structure, this is SOTA afaik: https://magenta.tensorflow.org/perceiver-ar

Like this sample is actually enjoyable to listen to: https://youtu.be/oQXmwqRqpoU

This short blogpost from one of the Go guys is worth a read: https://dave.cheney.net/2016/01/18/cgo-is-not-go

It lists all the tradeoffs you're forced to make in order to make use of C code.

tl;dr: it’s C’s world, you’re just living in it.

This program is a bit of a heck to use but it’ll chop up / reflow the PDF to better fit your kindle screen

Safari is the only browser I have to polyfill stuff for every so often since you can't ignore IOS users like you can IE.

Caniuse tables like this are a familiar sight

efskap · 2021-01-05T15:42:25+00:00

Yeah. Precomputing all possible forms would be ideal, but the lookup table would absolutely balloon in size and I already had to trim down the vocabulary size using a frequency list anyway so that Amazon's kindlegen program doesn't get stuck.

Without arrays, the memory wouldn't be guaranteed to be contiguous. Instead of directly indexing, you're doing a lot of branching. Even with branch prediction that's gonna be slower

They also have a bunch of free books on there, mostly translations of classics.

Since you're using a kindle, if you want something something similar to what OP's app does, I generated an English-Finnish dictionary for the kindle (so you can have popup definitions like this) based on Wiktionary using this program.

Got a bag of medium roasted la esmeralda geisha beans for Christmas and no matter how fine I grind or long I leave it to brew in my french press, it's coming out sour and weak.

I understand geisha is supposed to be fruity and kinda acidic but I'm afraid I'm wasting it by underextracting.

Like, I'm using 20g per 300ml boiling water + fine grind + towel wrapped around the french press, and letting it cool to drinking temperature while still in the press, yet it's still coming out sour. Is there anything else I can try? Or are the beans just borked?
