If you're into flipbooks, check-out these 6-in-one marvels. I got the Apollo 11 collection and love it: https://flipboku.com/

Exactly my experience as well. Like Sonnet can help me in 90% of the cases but there are some specific edge cases where it struggles that o1 can solve in an instant. I kinda hate it because of having to pay for both of them.

You should check out Librechat. You can connect different models to it and, instead of paying for both subscriptions, just buy credits for each API.

That is a funny example to use because the US Government has a service specifically designed to help you in that situation: https://www.bep.gov/services/mutilated-currency-redemption

Yes obviously if your money is completely burned then it's gone, but that is generally pretty unlikely to happen. Losing your digital key is many orders of magnitude more likely to happen in my opinion. And there is - by design - absolutely no way to get it back. That makes using blockchain for anything serious completely untenable in my opinion.

It doesn't need to be completely burned to be gone:

"No redemption will be made when (...) Fragments and remnants presented which represent 50% or less of a note are identifiable as United States currency but the method of destruction and supporting evidence do not satisfy the Treasury that the missing portion has been totally destroyed"

Not that unlikely, in my opinion.

Genuine question: how does the moon phase influence its gravity effect?
andresgottlieb · a year ago
I guess they probably meant moon position in orbit, in general

I've been using ChatGPT4 for this situtations, with excellent results. Check out this conversation about it (I used a PDF reader plugin, also): https://chat.openai.com/share/a682c5a7-f2c5-4849-a999-5a7218...

I disagree. Judaism is not an ethnic group, it's many absolutely different and disjunct ethnic groups, that only have religion in common. A Jew from Yemen has nothing else in common with a Jew from Poland. Different language, different food,. different music, different physical resemblance, different interpretation of the Torah, etc.

I recommend reading The Invention of the Jewish People, by Shlomo Sand.

As a practical example. When my father (Ashkenazi) married my mother (Sephardic), my father's grandma was devastated, because he was marrying a non-jew.

>Tools like Dall-E-2 and Stable Diffusion have been criticized for reproducing racial stereotypes even when a text prompt doesn’t imply the subject’s race. Such biases were why Google decided not to release Imagen, which had been trained on LAION.

This is so ingenuous and naive to think that the reason Google didn't release Imagen is because of racial stereotypes.

"such biases"

AKA laziness. yes, lets please bloat of the scope of browsers until they are no longer recognizable, so that you dont have to install some software.

You oversaw the untrusted part, this is the only reason I prefer web over native really. If there was a way to run native apps with that level of isolation, I would prefer native.

Technically, does not mean anything.

1) th is not used in Spanish

2) th would be likely hispanized as z

3) taken literally would sound culit-jo

If you ignore that you are left with "culito" which is ass + diminutive = small ass

andresgottlieb · 2 years ago
Could you please give an example of a word where th is hispanized as z?

TekMol · 2 years ago
I wish you could rent something like a dedicated server on an hourly basis.

As I understand it, cloud VMs are not capable to run large neural networks like StableDiffusion, Llama etc because they don't have a GPU, right?

I would like to play with these new toys, but I don't know where I can get a cloud machine capable of running them.

andresgottlieb · 2 years ago
You can definitely run a Cloud VM with GPU and pay by the second. I've used Google Cloud for this and it works very well
