I still use my Ivy League alumni email address, and would never have made another (a .com) my primary address if I'd had access to the .edu address the whole time since graduation. Why would I not want to immediately communicate my affiliation to one and all without having to explicitly state it?
> Trans women have a gender identity that does not align with their male sex assignment at birth, while intersex women may have sex characteristics that do not fit typical notions of female biology.
Even if you don't believe that trans women are women, it seems inarguably correct that they identify as women in spite of having been identified as male when they were born. You could complain about the vocabulary, I guess, but there's no set of vocabulary that won't upset someone.
Drawing involves taking a mental image and converting it into a sequence of actions that replicate the image on a physical surface. Imagen does not do that. I think the images it generates are more analogous to the image a person creates in their mind before drawing something.
I was too loose with that. There is CLIPDraw and others that operate at the stroke/action level but haven't been trained on as much data. Still impressive at the time:
The counterpoint would be to treat it like money: you don’t want to isolate a kid from it for 20 years and throw them in the ocean to learn to swim when they’re ready. Getting used to it and making mistakes while the amounts are small and reparable is a better way to make sure they don’t screw it when they’re “grown up” and supposed to be responsible.
It’s not the same. Having access to a phone can leave you scarred in your most formative years that will affect you for the rest of your life much more reliably than having an extra $10 a week can.
It all comes down to the amount: is it an extra $10 or $1000 you are getting ?
Having a cell phone with limited access, or a cell phone with no supervision and a credit card in it are two completely different propositions. People in these discussions tend to assume the latter, when most parents go for the former and progressively relax the limitations and supervision.
Looking around, kids are getting smartphones primarily to call/be called by their parents, message relatives, and use Google Maps when they're lost. Smaller kids have everything else locked away, and only expand their interaction circle to school and friends before getting access to the wider web.
I don't think at 120, anyone has the energy or patience to battle with a magic-slab.
Jokes, aside, 18+ is fine, as they will have more responsibilities to utilise the magic-slab for something useful(calendar, communication, meeting, information sharing, e-mails, calls, documentation etc..) over entertainment-only(social media death scrolling).
Yes it is, when compared to the total number of registered Mastodon users as I have mentioned from the start with "virtually" meaning 'nearly', 'almost', 'more or less', 'close to'. My use of the word could not get any more accurate and clearer.
192,000 of 3,000,000 is around 6.4%, where that is closer to 0 than 94% is, meaning that approximately 2,808,000 users are still not using it regularly after registration and after 6 years of existence, it has struggled with that ever since.
You can try to deny it. But the numbers don't lie.
Why the obsession with total registered users? Do Twitter or Facebook even publish that data? I cannot find it. Every number they use is based on MAU or DAU. Which is because the registered users number is quite meaningless. It just goes up over time. Spammers, bots, multiple accounts, banned accounts. No business or service has a 100% retention rate. Half a million MAU is not the scale of Twitter, but it's not nothing, and it's way more people than you'll ever want to have in your home feed.
All of the arms in the scene are melted stubs. The subject in the middle has what looks like an insect's leg jutting out of her waist.
> I would love to see the high-res image though to see if it holds up in the actual details.
It clearly doesn't. The judges probably thought that there was something cool about the visual weirdness of the piece—which indeed there is. However, it's much less interesting when you know that the melting arms aren't the artist intentionally playing with form—it's just a machine not knowing what arms are.
I don’t buy that. The gap between “no AGI” and “AGI but it’s a child” is orders of magnitude greater than the gap between “5 year old” and “smartest human”.
