Thanks! Is it possible to include the metadata in the images? So we can know the artist's name, the title of the piece and the subject, e.g. strawberries? It seems to be available on the site when you click one on the images.


One of the files is usda-pomological-watercolor-collection_meta.sqlite (16M). Hopefully the metadata is all there.

Also, curses upon whomever created a 100G torrent that is half padding files.


The SQLite file only contains some archive.org metadata (size, timestamp, etc.).

I merged all metadata I could gather here: https://github.com/Wumms/pomological


Does anyone else have issues with the cells overlapping or shrinking in vscode? I've had this issue for months. Created an issue on GitHub, but there's been no improvements. It can be very frustrating, sometimes I have to completely close vscode and reopen to get it to stop glitching constantly. I tried switching the GPU to the nvidia card, but it somehow uses 30% of the GPU when a cell is running.


These large cost increases have been great for businesses. If your company buys a widget for $10 and sells it for $50 and the cost goes up 20%, you can tell your customers our costs have gone up 20% and we can't afford not to pass on the increases, etc. The thing is the business is only paying $2 more, but the customer is paying $10 more. Plus we also have businesses like supermarkets that saw a huge increase in demand during the COVID restrictions, where people couldn't travel, eat out, go to concerts. But even after the record breaking year due to a non repeatable event, they still expect to grow on top of that. When demand falls, the only way to keep or grow your revenue is to increase prices.


I am finding that I use YouTube a lot less these days. Back in the late 2000s I remember when I watched a music video, the recommended videos would be other videos by the same artist. Now it's just videos I've watched before and unrelated videos. The front page is mostly videos I've watched before and ones that it has shown before that I didn't click on. So there is not much difference between the front page and the recommended videos section. It doesn't even really show new videos from channels I've subscribed to, I have to go to the subscriptions page and look for them there. So I just get bored easily and do something else. I tried the shorts page, but I have no interest in the toxic political and far right garbage from the US, since I'm from Australia, so that was useless. I even tried looking for a page that showed what live videos are currently playing, like a twitch page, but the only live page only had a few videos listed.


Could you not use tags used to label the image? If your image contains more niche tags that match the user input, your revenue share will be higher. Depending how much extra people earn for certain tags, it might incentivise people to upload more images of what is missing from the training data.


That's interesting, but I'm not sure it works. I think that works out to "for any given prompt, distribute credit to every source image that has a keyword that appears in the prompt, proportional to how many other source images had that same keyword".

If I include the tag "floor", do I get some (tiny) percentage of every image that uses "floor" in the prompt, even if the bits from my image did not end up affecting model weights much at all in training?

Worse, for tags like "dramatic lighting", it's likely that the important source images will depend on the other words in the prompt; "sunset, dramatic lighting" will probably not use the rely on the same weights or source images as "theater interior, dramatic lighting".

And then you get the perverse incentives to tag every image with every possible tag :)

I'd love to be convinced otherwise, but I'm not seeing prompt-to-tag association working.


The tags could be added by a model rather than the user submitting the image. Maybe do both and verify the tags with a model? Users could get a rating based on how reliably they tag their pictures and are trusted to add more niche tags at higher ratings. You could even help tag other pictures to improve your rating.


I wonder how they simulate the displacement of water since it's not from how tsunamis usually occur. A lot of water you think would be vaporised into the air and moved with the shockwaves. Plus there is only so much water at the impact site, not an unlimited amount. Given the speed of the impact, would it move as much water? They say when you jump off a bridge, the impact is like hitting cement.


As far as i know, the earth's crust below and around the impact gets displaced by a fair amount. I think the crust acts like a rubber sheet bouncing backwards and forwards. This most likely contributes toward the displacement of water above.


That reminds me, I remember reading some NASA stuff my dad would bring home talking about simulations of impacts. While there are very few on earth there are vast numbers on the moon and other planets.

I think the forces and energies are so large that the fluid dynamics dominate.


Maybe it's a voltage thing (120V vs 240V)? In Australia you can pick up a Bosch induction cooktop starting from $899 ~$620USD including tax.


It's probably just an American thing: many things in America are atrociously expensive for some reason. Here, it's probably the American expectation of a "range", which is a huge 4-5 burner stovetop combined with a humongous oven large enough for a whole turkey or even a small child.

Here in Japan, IH stoves aren't that expensive, but they're just stovetops with 2 or 3 burners. There's no such thing as a "range" here, and while ovens are becoming much more common, they're the size of a microwave oven, and usually combined with one. You can also get portable single-burner IH stovetops for less than USD$100.


you're taking shots at American prices compared to Japan, but then say Japan doesn't have those and only tiny versions of them. I use my range all the time at close to full capacity. it's not a useless or wasteful appliance.


You're cooking turkeys and huge multi-person dinners every day? When I lived in America, I never used my range to full capacity, in fact I never used more than one burner at a time, and never baked anything that wouldn't fit in the little microwave-sized oven I have now (i.e. cupcakes). Yet I was *forced* to own a full-size range, because there's literally no option to have anything else in American homes: every home is built this way.

I see this in other things in America: you're forced to spend tons of money on stuff you don't need because that's all that's available, frequently because there's an assumption that you have a big family. So everyone whines about housing being expensive, but there's no option for a tiny 1-person apartment because building codes don't allow it.


obviously not every day, but I do it at least 3 times per year. the vertical space isn't necessarily needed because spatchcocking the turkey is a better method, but oven here are built up standard widths and heights. I have used all the space/racks in the oven before on many occasions.

I'm probably not the norm, but I'm actually seeking out a double oven for this very reason. I have to borrow the neighbor's oven during big feasts because we can't fit in.


I use the full width on mine all the time. The height's not really necessary, most of the time, but I don't think the extra material to bring it to counter height is adding much to the cost.

> I'm probably not the norm, but I'm actually seeking out a double oven for this very reason. I have to borrow the neighbor's oven during big feasts because we can't fit in.

Double ovens are really, really nice, especially if you favor certain kinds of cooking or cook for large numbers more than a couple times a year.

[EDIT]

It is true that I almost never use more than two burners at once, but OTOH once you've committed to a certain size (and that size is nice, for being able to fit e.g. much larger sheet pans in the oven—IDK how you'd roast veggies for five in those tiny apartment-size ovens, without multiple batches) I, again, doubt it's adding much to the cost to go with 4 or 5 burners instead of 2 or 3, if the thing's already big enough to fit that many.


Yup! Since we don't have the space for a wall oven, I seeked a double oven. It turns out there's only one manufacturer (GE Cafe) that makes a double oven with an induction range.


My experience is that many things in the US are cheaper than Europe or south America. It must depend on what type of products.


Yes, it really does. Some things in the US are absurdly expensive (like eating at a restaurant or getting a medical procedure), other things frequently significantly cheaper than elsewhere (like buying a car, assuming the same model, or a gallon of milk). Sometimes it's due to expectations: Americans have expectations that others don't, and meeting those expectations costs a lot of money.


As far as multi burner built in cooktop/stove electric/induction setups, pretty much everything available in the US is 240V.

You can get like countertop stuff that is 120V and lots cheaper.


240 is available everywhere in the US, just the regular wall plugs are only using one phase of the two phase input. Often half the house is run on 1 phase and the other half on the opposite phase.

Many homes already have 240 plugs behind stove and dryer installations. And even if you don't already have one you just need to stick a new breaker in the panel and run a wire using both phases together instead of a neutral or ground.


Any installable* induction cooktop in the US will be 240V.

* meaning “not a countertop plug-in hob”


I also subscribe to choice. They do lots more than product reviews. They have general guides on how to get the best use out of products, mystery shoppers reviewing customer service, tools to compare health insurance, etc. The reason I stay subscribed is they campaign about consumer rights issues which actually cause industries as a whole to change, e.g. bank fees. They also have the shonky awards which usually gets a bit of media attention each year, where they shame companies for poor behaviour, quality, outright scams, etc. I think of it like a lobby to help us consumers out, which we need more of. Too often we are listening to the advice of the industry bodies that represent the companies rather than the consumers.


totally agree. In fact the consumer advocacy is probably more of why I stay subscribed than the reviews :)


I just did a search for a python problem and got a stackoverflow clone on the front page. From a few different searches I found a clone with most of them. They weren't at the top, usually after 5th place. I've also seen sites that have just copied github issue posts.


Can I have the exact query and the links to the clones?


Not OP, but you can replicate probably very well by just copying any sentence from an SO question and pasting it into google. You will find duplicates. If not, try find a more unique sentence in that question/answer, especially with a weird way of speaking. In my example below, the tell was that legitimate NLP re-writes of the question didn't include "and do what ever you want", so including it found lots of clones.

They are being intelligent now and using NLP to mix-up the content, but it's very much the same question or answers, or just the answers, or some variation of the two, or made to look like a forum with SO comments as forum replies, etc. Most of it is non-nonsensical if you try understand it.

Example:

"What you can do is set the FormBorderStyle property to None and do what ever you want with the form using GDI" from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11862315/changing-the-co...

Gives you:

There were a couple that I had no intention of clicking to confirm, though. And that IP one above I probably shouldn't have either.

That was just what I could glance from the preview and all on the first google hits page.

I 100% guarantee that if you wacked 95% of the above domains and forever banned whoever registered them legitimately from the web forever that you'd make the web a better place.


Googling "What you can do is set the FormBorderStyle property to None and do what ever you want with the form using GDI" gives me only 5 clones on the first page and 4 of them are blocked by uBlacklist. The stackoverflow result is above the clones.

In SA the codes are fairly small and scan very fast from a distance. Even if they are laminated and placed behind a window they scan easily. Meanwhile the gigantic QR code printed on a 7 foot poster which was used for express check-in at the Wayville showgrounds vaccination hub just did not work on my phone.
