I'm also extremely intrigued by the second quote. Definitely worth it to experiment in that area.


ah the telltale em dash — you know what it means


It means pretty much nothing here on HN, lots of people were using it before LLMs. However, people constantly pointing it out is getting tiresome.


The sad thing is once I learned what an em-dash was in college, I started using it everywhere. Fast forward a few decades and suddenly... Oh wait... You don't suppose I'm a... No. I couldn't be. I didn't use a dash in this entire reply!


what was it like for you


From a personal experience perspective It’s a trip and like nothing else you’ve experienced.

The only thing I can metaphorically compare it to is what it looked like when Neo got pulled out of the matrix in the movie.


How come you're asking that? Just curious


I want to find a good use for clojurescript. It would be cool to build a personal site with an OS theme. Additionally with enough extensibility it could become like emacs.


That's how most company websites are XD


i'm actually fascinated because the website made me slightly nauseous


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia maybe? Could lean into that as an esthetic - everything is always misaligned carefully by 1 pixel, using trypophobia fonts which overload ligatures to punch tiny holes into each letter...


mind = container of values

consciousness = meta-attention


sounds schizophrenic



one person posts about one position paying half

"tech salaries have been cut in half"


True sample size neglect for real


Out of curiosity, what are use cases/applications of this?

So what I know is that this generates images via browser rather than server. The only thing I can think of is not having to refresh the page in order to change an image or generate a new image. Which... hmm, well, that could mean websites whose visual design changes in real-time? And maybe changes in a way that would be functionally relevant/useful? That does seem pretty cool, although I'm not sure how useful Stable Diffusion is for generating UI components/visual aspects of a site.


It's useful because it's expensive to generate these images en masse. It moves the compute cost to the client.


What? The use case is to easily run it on your own computer. Without needing to be a programmer or install an application.


Just like what most web apps allow- quick applications in a sandboxed environment on almost every type of hardware


Any hardware! As long as that hardware is overpowered for the job, so that the browser overhead is acceptable. Oh and it needs internet. Oh and it needs a reasonably large screen because padding and margins. Oh and it needs quite a bit of RAM to start. Maybe not any hardware.


Privacy is a big plus for (purely) locally running models.

Sensitive prompts will not leak to some remote party.
