DALL-E is for text-to-image, not text-to-art. This experiment is valid in terms of benchmarking the extent to which LLM understands a series of texts. For an AI researcher, this gives more fuel for the next iteration.

Yes

“No human ever steps in the same universe twice. For it's not the same universe and he's not the same human.” Now extend this to billions of years. Do we still call it humanity, or use English, or same Homo Sapiens?

Why would someone post partial wikipedia article as a blog?

My early years were in rural India, so even Motorcycles were rare to sight. However, I did my dumpster diving with Books and Magazines, and collected a lot of relics.

He was able to tinker with a radio at age of 10, in 1940. I had my first electronic at 19, in 2003, growing up in India. Today, almost anyone in the world can have access to the latest tech easily. Great minds were there and are everywhere in the world, they just didn't have access to resources. Think how fast the research monopoly of US is going to shrink.

Writing this article on a computer and servers that maintains it may have indirectly consumed tones of CO2, too, I assume.

Nice. I have been waiting for something like this. I will be monitoring closely, and once it has highlight and notes feature, I will move my books from iCloud.

We are still talking about Download Manager in 2021. Something went wrong somewhere.

Very interesting. Would love to try your application if you have your code published. I have been looking for something similar for a while.

Why do we even discuss this type of clickbait posts, few times every year?

chheplo | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are some tools small startups use for subscription management?

Thank you. One thing I was looking into was integrating my user DB with subscribe/preferences/unsubscribe link that is being sent with each email. Mailchimp does it very well. I am not sure I can integrate my Django user model with sendgrid, but I will sure check it out.

There are few of this type of articles written by 'nobody' every month.

I ordered in March and the shipping schedule keep getting delayed. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a typical Kickstarter or Indigogo hardware project, that never ships.

chheplo | 6 years ago | on: How to run your own mail server (2017)

I have been using Mail-in-a-Box https://mailinabox.email/ successfully for many years now, for both my personal account and my company. The only problem is that occasionally Gmail and Outlook mark my sent email as SPAM to the receiver.
