Very nice, but I'm gonna wait for the f-droid build.

There is something I never understood: what if multiple people carry the limit of "explosive/flammable" liquid allowed and combine it inside the plane?

This is amazing! I think the AI will completely replace the way we create and consume media currently. A well written story, with an amazing graphics generation AI can be both interactive and surprising every time you watch it again.

I would love to know which software was used on this project. Amazing!

I think it's because it uses the mainstream media as "reliable" dataset. There was another AI that was trained on Reddit that was considered toxic and with "far right" opinions.

Why is no one talking about the bird flu H5N1? Less birds is equals to fewer eggs! https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/avian-flu-summary.htm

I'm Brazilian and I can only say NOOOO! This is the worst idea and will be used to fund the socialist regimes os South America, most of them real or de facto dictatorships. This idea doesn't have population support and it marks the end of Brazil's economy.

We had this in Brazil once, the guy was never jailed and now it's again in the government.

The private entrepreneurship must be rentable, government projects don't. That's why it's harder for private companies to develop large projects without lots of government money.

Some platforms dilute the hardware cost in the software or vice-versa. Sometimes the lock-in could skyrocket the platform price which could make it less attractive. I think the solution is to step back and support open platforms. But who wants to loose performance these days?

Voting doesn't need to be fixed. It must be banned! Voting is an act of faith. Faith in who manages the electoral process. We need a private laws system, where you hire the governance you want, no more majority oppression or state subordination.

bkmeneguello — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 14:11:34 +0000

SDG is a limiting factor in science development, not a boosting one. Science is funding oriented and companies are much more interested in funding research that could lead to revenue growth. It's funny to see how some people think their opinion is the "problem" other people's money should be used to resolve.

Patents do more harm than good. Ideas aren't scarce and obviously, this is abused by bad players to restrict competition. Doesn't make sense to restrict the right of someone to do a sequence of calculations on his own computer.

I always struggled to find a reliable anatomic reference for free. This has the best quality of production up to now.

I think the major problem it solves is to not require multiple binaries to be distributed, one for each OS since them all runs on the same architecture. By distributing a single binary that really runs anywhere without requiring another solution, like a VM, an emulator or a compatibility layer, it simplifies the installation process, and allows the projects to be available for more users without increase the build complexity.

This is very dangerous, to censure a software by the potential or have. Youtube-dl does not violate any copyright law by itself, only its user can

I think a better analogy is to forbid an OCR software because they COULD be used to reproduce a book.
