The browser usually has no special handling for most response codes, so serving a 404 page with a 404 status code is fine/expected and lets things (browser, scraper, etc) respond appropriately. I don't think the browser treats it specially but if you were scraping, you'd obviously want to ignore that result.

It is frustrating to work with APIs that return something like 200 { meta: { status: 404 message: "field not found" } }

and browsing is no different.

I got this up and running on my windows machine in short order and I don't even know what stable diffusion is.

But again, it would be nice to have first class support to locally participate in the fun.

See for example: http://www.borrett.id.au/computing/petals-bg.htm or the umpteen versions of http://math.bme.hu/~petz/vnsumming.html

Bike would've been cheaper if I had bought before the pandemic but home gym prices went up, unsurprisingly

I glanced at another state out of curiosity and it seemed stricter.

Anyway, he was a great professor. When talking through algorithms, he'd always start with say, an n^4 solution. Then cut it down to n^3, call on people to help out, etc. I remember it being something like this (in an Italian accent that we really enjoyed)

"And now we're at n^2! Pretty good you might think eh? After all, we were at n^4 just a few minutes ago, this is much better? But, the human mind is a wonderful thing! It is so creative and some people thought about it, and they got n log n! Amazing. I know you are thinking, n log n is always as good as it gets in this class. Well I don't want to go into the details because, it is horrifying! But actually some people, they did even better! And you know as I said, the human mind is amazing! So maybe one day, you will do even better."

Also I sat across the aisle from him when Eliezer Yudkowsky came for a talk and only realized it when he answered a question EY asked the audience.

This kind of turned into me reminiscing but my point is, the guy who put these out there and did a lot of work on them is a great undergrad professor and that makes me happy.

Similarly, I've memorized new window and new horizontal/vertical split for tmux and that's like...98% of my usage so I'm set. vim definitely requires more effort, but the payoff for me was making it so that I'm always either in the terminal or in firefox. I still use the arrow keys to move around in documents and I've been using it as my daily driver for work for years.

As a result, I have two monitors, one dedicated to firefox and one to the terminal (includes vim + db clients + everything else). I don't split my terminal like crazy, almost very tmux window is fullsize. I split vim 3-4 times at most and make use of a buffer-switching list thing that's way more intuitive to me than remembering the vim commands to cycle through them.

Most of the reason I use a wm is because for two applications, I don't need window decorations and it just seemed like a waste in general.

For the amount of power-user tools I use I feel like a totel poser. But it works for me, and I think that's what matters.

In college we made a site that represented each wikipedia page as a graph, with sections and links serving as nodes and leafs. It was a pretty fun visualization but we fell short of our ill-defined goal to page rank Wikipedia.

This is pretty neat! And it reinforces my belief that bubbling up is the way to go. In the example it gave me, only a few of the 35 paths didn't immediately jump to a very general concept. One of those was "leet" though :)

Specifically how attitudes changed towards people who crossed borders to help out when the blip was undone.

Totally agree though. Conbini snacks and some canned alcohol were how I traveled on the shinkansen. A very enjoyable ritual :)

I mean, I have seen $10/dozen but they were some premium organic (not kidding) imported from Japan eggs in the Japanese mart.
