Since the first (good) image generation models became available, I've been trying to get them to generate an image of a clock with 13 instead of the usual 12 hour divisions. I have not been successful. Usually they will just replace the "12" with a "13" and/or mess up the clock face in some other way.

I'd be interested if anyone else is successful. Share how you did it!

Same author in March 2014 was having segfault issues with atop apparently: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2014/03/02/sync/

My version of the full glass of wine challenge is "clock face with 13 hour divisions". Nothing I've tried has been able to do it yet.

No, not weird. The extra stuff is there to show you ads and/or track your behavior, which generates a stream of revenue for the TV maker. W/o the extra stuff, the only revenue comes from the one-time purchase.

There is always a need for _some_ secrets to be kept. At the very least from external adversaries.

Why shouldn't a virtuous and transparent government (should one materialize somehow, somewhere) be interested in identifying leakers?

No, a mass terror attack would indiscriminately target victims. This is almost entirely opposite -- an organization widely recognized as a terrorist group (1) is narrowly targeted.

This is getting transpiled to SQL, right? So I still have to understand how the (now generated) SQL will perform on my data and DBMS, plus I got to learn this new syntax. This will be a hard sell.

No, in small doses it enhances performance by lowering heart rate, reducing anxiety, slowing breathing, etc. All are important in sports like rifle shooting.

Related: alcohol is prohibited as a performance-enhancing substance in most archery and shooting competitions.

Yes. But not because of Elon Musk.

Is there any end to this? E.g., why not include Galileo's pictograms of Saturn as seen here: https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=...

We're not (trending to etc.). These things are - thankfully - very rare. That is why when they do occur, they make it to the front page.

These are more "patterns" than "algorithms"...

Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things.

Think about how echoes from buildings and cars mess up this simple model.

Hot take / prove me wrong: Space telescopes, astrophysics, and other "big" science have not yielded and are not likely to yield NEARLY as much practical benefit for mankind as biology, medicine, nuclear physics, and other "small" science.

Now build a zoomable full-res version. Because I am spoiled and want the internet to do things for me.

Can this tech be used to make a (quieter) room fan?

Here is what I want to see when I click that link: a picture. Of a bacterium. Next to a ruler. Thank you.

UPDATE: My bad, there are plenty of pictures in the supplemental materials downloadable further down the page

This made me think of the Saturn GM brand in the 90s, which made the "no haggle" price and salespeople NOT working on commission a refreshing proposition.

Obviously, legislation to prohibit these untraceable and dangerous ghost automatic super-cars is called for!

One of the numbers above is off by a factor of 1,000

A lot of them seem to be growing out of books :-)

You've misspelled it. It should be "runs".
