can someone recommend a good paper or blog post with an overview of the technical architecture of training and running stable diffusion?

I would pay for this if it came with a browser plugin that synced my already-viewed links between devices

For the well acquainted -- how does this relate to Inbox (https://www.inboxapp.com/)? I have not spent enough time with either to make a comparison

Random observation -- what's up with almost 20 of the 24 'contributors' to this project mostly having made 1 edit changes to the README? Is this some kind of pervasive Github resume padding scheme that I'm just now picking up on? (it will show the repo in the "Repositories contributed to" section of your profile even for just those 1-line README edits)

I was under the impression that tobacco and alcohol companies are against legalization and have the largest hand in keeping it illegal.

How can Teespring afford / justify giving every non-profit $50k?

Does anyone know what team(s) are responsible for these kinds of projects at Google?

I think you're misunderstanding the word "fake" in this context. He means they are inauthentic likes, aka likes from real people who don't actually like what they're clicking the Like button on.

finally, some truth shed on this developer-centric bubble of a "company"
ebabchick | 13 years ago | on: App.net is crowdfunding their realtime feed platform
Is this a developer-centric parody of http://www.vooza.com?

Anyone serious about using this for it's intended use case (from what I can tell) would not be in this for only one year.

'According to recent evidence, however, believing in luck makes you luckier'
Does anyone know what evidence he's referring to?
ebabchick | 14 years ago | on: Peter Thiel’s CS183: Startup - Class 11 Notes Essay
Those first four bullets may be true statements, but the second bullet point is a half-truth. It should read "As technology gets more powerful, the potential for causing harm will be greater AND the amount of freedom will increase by some arbitrary amount." It's then reasonable to say that new laws are made to put new technologies in check. It's a lot harder to reach the same conclusion if that's the case.
ebabchick | 14 years ago | on: I'm a former Miso engineer and the founders screwed me out of 10k
The flaw in this argument is that it assumes rremoncake was solely responsible for the decision to not back up prod. I think that responsibility falls on the CTO/CEO, and so yeah, Miso is a bad company for that, and that whole incident should have no relevance to the bonus debacle.

This is great stuff, good job. The world needs more free tools like these. Would make for a killer product too...
ebabchick | 14 years ago | on: Pulse will come pre-installed on the Kindle Fire
Huge win for Pulse as well as Amazon. If you're an Amazon Prime subscriber you've now got news, movies, tv, and books from the instant you boot up. Genius move on Amazon's part.

They really need to get developer Inspect working such that simply hovering over the HTML highlights the relevant part of the page, not only clicking on it. Chrome is crushing them here with that feature.
ebabchick | 14 years ago | on: Please tell us what features you'd like in news.ycombinator
highlight the link i just came from briefly and fade the highlight out over a few seconds when i return to the page via back button (or use some approximating heuristic ) ... i like to scan the page multiple times a day and i cant rely on the native highlighting to see the comment link on what i just read because the top stories are re-ordered throughout the day. so i have to scan the page visually for the title of the story. I'm going to make this a browser plugin for myself if you don't do it, but I'd rather everyone have this feature natively....
