very good alternative is wails

6-10mb single binary

use any frontend js tech you want

automatically go functions exposed to the js side so you don't need to think about making endpoints, it makes and uses a websockets between the binary and the ui

uses WebView2 and not chrome

most impacted are technical consultants ( outside experts that merely provide high level consulting ) -- their recommendations will be scrutinized more closely

Maybe it was just a member of Congress and thus no crime was committed

As a full time Dev. I'm on ChatGPT (paid) and use co-pilot.

My teams first go-to is ChatGPT as well. SO is no longer 'that site' to go to ( been on SO for 10+ years ). I have 0 love for that site. It was 'The resource' before, now it's just another site..

You have things like rocksdb, SQLite etc that are simple have serialization-deserialization built-in, so no external app dependencies

The 2$ adds up + thats an ephemeral environment and these things are super finiky to get working properly (dependency and initial setup + adding tools to your workflow). Plus there is a more of a craft like - ad-hoc approach to how you want to do things, plus a learning curve, with what tools and scripts you want to do or write simple stuff on your own -- runpod sounds good on paper but after a while, you then want AWS/Google VM so things are stable and your environment is sane and stable. Then if you calculate, you'll come up to a cost of buying a nice card in 6-10 monthly payments.. So if you want to play with it in peace you spend once and only worry about electricity costs :D

No can't do it realtime. Each image would be about 20-60 seconds (depends on what you're doing with it)

A frame is like 20-30 seconds for one pass on my 3090, you may have multiple tools and multiple passes.. say 60 seconds a frame x 300 frames about 5 hours -- 3090 costs 0.44$ per hour on runpod.. a little more than 2$

Or they could just use the models we are using right now and get the same effect, not like the models are going away anywhere

You apparently can't use anything to do with automatic-111 webui from colab, don't remember the exact restriction but I hear even if you do a simple, print with the word it freaks out..

Same here, much more convenient to use than SO

StackOverflow is toxic and if I don't have to deal with that it's a plus in my book. Too much drama on for my liking.

Finding content is harder too, go through a Google search and 5-6 tabs before you reach an answer, ChatGPT is my first go-to tool for solving common stuff and stuff like syntax reference.

housing as an asset/investment who's value needs to keeps rising is a big contributer to homelessness. If Dense affordable housing isn't created because of the vested interests of the home owners worried about their properties losing value then they are partly to blame..

I think the blame should go to a lacking process where you review, reorganize your notes.

A regular stocktaking of planned action and choose to do or dropped stuff you wanted to do

Author misses a category of notes that are actively created as personal documentation for things you don't do often or keep forgetting. Those are human equivalents of a bash script

Say: "Install k8s on redhat 8.x"

Open this doc you've written, blindly follow steps you've done before, there is tremendous value in this.

Your future you and you are slightly different people, learn to keep the conversation going, don't blame the tech

Fair enough, but this was a major 'event' in both tech and academic circles..

Funny that Nature publishes an article about fake papers and fails to mention the one model specifically trained exclusively on white paper to write (fake?) white papers..
