AI can already create photo-realistic images, and the old "look at the hands" rule doesn't really work on images generated with modern models.

There may be a few tells still, but those won't last long, and the moment someone can find a new pattern you can make that a negative prompt for new images to avoid repeating the same mistake.

I think we are already there, and it seems like we aren't because many people are using free low-quality models with a low number of steps because its more accessible.

There's more money in lowest common denominator social media than in high quality content.

The brain does have specialized systems that work together.

That's a comprehensive guide. If anyone wants a similar introduction, with interactive exercises to try while they study this is also a good resource: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-r

The AI is multiple programs working together, and they already pass math problems on to a data analyst specialist. There's also an option to use a WolframAlpha plugin to handle math problems.

The reason it didn't have math from the start was that it was a solved problem on computers decades ago, and they are specifically demonstrating advances in language capabilities.

Machines can handle math, language, graphics, and motor coordination already. A unified interface to coordinate all of those isn't finished, but gluing together different programs isn't a significant engineering problem.

It's a shame that Gemini is so far behind ChatGPT. Gemini Advanced failed softball questions when I've tried it, but GPT works almost every time even when I push the limits.

Google wants to replace the default voice assistant with Gemini, I hope they can make up the gap and also add natural voice responses too.

Union membership is 10% in the United States.

Gen X had twice as much as Millenials at the same age: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/12/03/precariou...

This isn't about just being older, Gen X has consistently been given a larger share of the pie than millennials.

> What's the point of building more housing if it's all owned by the same handful of investment firms?

If that was the case, the point would be an increased supply pushing the price down.

> Anecdotally, I've seen this a lot with adults with undiagnosed ADHD (including myself until 26). Caffeine can be a (very shitty) alternative to proper stimulant medication that people don't realise they actually need because of a medical issue. So the end up drinking 4-5 coffees a day instead.

ADHD medication is among the hardest to get in the first place, and to maintain in many places.

I was diagnosed as a child, and still couldn't get regular medication until 3 years ago (I'm 37 now). Doctors will try to push off-label treatments, often SSRIs, which do nothing for ADHD. They will push people to try ineffective talk therapy and describe actual medication as "only a last resort".

My cousin can't get it because his insurance says you only have ADHD if you were diagnosed as a child, and he spent his childhood in another country where the roads were barely maintained.

ADHD meds reduce the chances someone will abuse drugs according to research, but many docs will cancel prescriptions if you are honest about cannabis use.

In the wake of the opiate scandal new restrictions also place limits on how much a pharmacy can dispense, even if everyone has a valid prescription. That's part of the reason for the medication shortages in some areas.

It's been a miracle medication for me, but if you don't have money and luck it can be next to impossible to find someone to help you. Those that do often require thousands in fees.

Sacrifices? Who wanted a different charger that only works on their phone?

I like having one connector for everything.

I wonder why AirBNB doesn't take the app they already developed and open it up to long term rentals. They've already done the work, it would be trivial to add in month-by-month agreements.

Lemmy is like Reddit and here because it has threaded comment discussions.

It's also federated, so you can pick a server you like and have discussions with users from various servers together.

Some Reddit apps switched to supporting Lemmy instead when they were kicked off the API.

They block VPNs from using the website at all, unless you're on an account that was registered already.

The new Reddit stopped allowing you to opt-out of "log outbound clicks" in the settings, so every link you click is now going through out.reddit.com first and keeping track of everything you do on the site.

If you are forced to reveal your actual IP, and they watch every link you click, privacy is completely dead on the website.

With apps it should be very easy to find a room to rent in a shared unit, but there is no good way to do that. I've tried, and the system for long term rentals isn't as polished or usable as something like AirBNB.
