This is such a nothing argument. Yes, new artists are inspired by other artists and sometimes make art similar to others, but a huge part of learning and doing art is to find a unique style.
But that’s not even the important part of the argument. A lot of artists work for commission, and are hired for their style. If an AI can be trained without explicit permission from their images, they lose work because a user can just prompt “in the style of”.
There’s no real great solution, outside of law, because the possibility of doing that is already here. But I’ve seen this argument so much and it’s just low effort
If you’re talking about North American political leaders, they really can’t. LKY had a lot more power than anyone can have in most countries political systems. If you’re talking about political leaders in growing countries, a lot do take inspiration from him. Singapore had a lot of qualities to benefit from at the time that other countries don’t, though.
There is no city government, state/province. Just the parliament. PAP has had an overwhelming majority for Singapore's entire existence (helped by some rather dubious methods). If a law needs to be passed - it's passed. There is no real debate.
You need a police permit to protest in Singapore (except for Speaker's corner). Today, there is little culture of protest in Singapore. They've pretty much completely passed their reins of power to the government.
Singaporeans like to call the country Singapore Inc. And it's true. It's about as close to a business structure as one could imagine.
Where is any evidence to back this? How can you compare a VC funded tech job pay to a normal trade pay? Software pays a lot because its a good business. There is no physical product cost so labor can be higher, and margins are higher. Comparing the EU and US start up cultures and implying its somehow due to labor protections is disingenuous.
They have more competition than ever with youtube streaming actually somewhat catching on and tiktok streams becoming more popular. It seems weird to cut so many engineers when it’s probably most important now to innovate. Its not even just R&D that’s important, either. Their product is worse in some aspects than their competitors and a lot of the reason why they’re still dominant in their space is just the community of users on the website.
Absolutely, I have been on and off medication my whole life due to moving or forgetfulness of making appointments or whatever else, but medication for it has very obviously changed my life. One thing that is very important is to find the specific medication that works for you, some people don't like stimulants and wellbutrin works for them, some people do well on Ritalin while I personally hate it. It took me trying probably 6 or 7 medications until I found something that worked for me with no crashes or obvious downsides.
If you know you have ADHD and don't address it with medication, I think you're just making life harder than it needs to be. The medication has been around long enough that its known to be safe and effective, and while you very much can get very far managing ADHD without medications, its so much easier with.
You’re correct in that, i could have picked different wording. it can be used to create radiance fields, but in a way that is completely different than NeRFs.
There’s no shortage of 3D mesh data to train on. Who to say scaling up the parameter count won’t allow for increasingly intricate topology the same way scaling language models improved reading comprehension.
There’s no real replacement plan for the coal mining jobs in the rust belt, so some people are somewhat justifiably against it there. Obviously we should move away from coal, but if that’s not addressed, a poor area is just going to get poorer. There should really be a plan to build alternative energy factories and train people in those areas
I've used blazor on a couple larger projects, mostly wasm blazor, and have used components in hacky ways on occasion (reflection, interpolation, etc). Some of these components are pretty large and I have never once had a crash from those projects in any IDE, be it VS2022, Rider, or the trash that is VS for Mac. Not downplaying your experience, just saying blazor projects have been very solid to work with on my end.
Throwing my hat in saying I agree with you. There are certainly aspects of Blazor that need to be improved, though. Sometimes Intellisense has an aneurism and syntax highlighting completely breaks. Debugging needs some TLC in instances where exceptions are thrown in the JS console instead of being caught by the VS debugger.
I have experienced _some_ performance problems, but only when I don't have enough resources for VS to gobble up. Should it be lighter? Absolutely. It's not like I can't get work done though.
