Amazing. Viewing this article sparked a thought, whoever makes the infamous “artistic rendering”s, their job got a lot easier recently with AI.

I guess our trading partners should lower their tariffs/margins to a level that makes these US importers and publishers able to take a healthy cut, or we can assume they don’t mind the drop in orders to their factories.

For any backend engineers that don’t build products because dealing with frontend is demoralizing… give the replit ai agent a test. I’m making better ui now than I ever could with bootstrap and jquery. Typescript + react + the right amount of prompting about code quality and maintainability and it produced workable interfaces plus some.

Pyflink seems promising, I love vanilla flink but as soon as you need to debug your pyflink job pyflink becomes a hurdle. That translation layer between Python and Java can be opaque.

No, it’s a roundabout way of saying that when government bureaucrats decide to stop enforcing a law passed by congress, grocery corporations will actively work to grow larger and close stores in Black neighborhoods. Don’t retroactively assign preference to the mother who walks to the grocery store a block away only find it is closed and was forced to take a bus to Walmart, that mother was not exercising a preference. The preference was clear prior to the ceasing of enforcement. The article said the prices were only 1% higher at the local chains, the customer were exercising presence by choosing to pay 1% more…

Were these compromised during supply chain, small explosives inserted. Or were they able to make the factory standard batteries explode, some sort of zero day to control the charging circuitry?

GFX 100 has similar mode. It’s not surprising that stitching multiple images of a moving subject , or thousands of moving subjects in the case of leaves and blades of grass, fails to produce something similar to a pixel shifted image of something static.
