I think this has a whole lot to do with the memory throughput, as well as great efficiency.

My M1 still holds right up! It is the smallest RAM model, and even that is not the end of things.


I bought an M1 Max with 64gb of ram at release. I'm still not sure what will get me to replace it other than it simply breaking. Maybe an M5 will finally make me want to buy something new. I'm debating getting a cheaper Air and maybe a base Ultra now that I do most of my heavy work at a desk.

Wow. Never heard of them.

Corel refugee here refusing to buy another upgrade license.

I have been using open and free code to do all I can.

Don't mind paying for great apps, and these guys offering almost all the operating systems I value in their universal license and at only $170?

Sweet deal, I may buy in.

That said, I find this software collection worth a donation:

Portable Apps is great. You can load the install / menu tool. Pick all you want to load go!

It is possible to load a serious setup quicker than you are used to.

Very highly recommended.


Would one of you, who is familiar with this topic, help me understand the primary use case(s) along with a few words, just your overall take on these techniques?

Thanks and appreciated in advance.


It’s the fundamentals that underly Stable Diffusion, Dalle, and various other SOTA image generation models, video, and audio generation models. They’ve also started taking off in the field of robotics control [1]. These models are trained to incrementally nudge samples of pure noise onto the distributions of their training data. Because they’re trained on noised versions of the training set, the models are able to better explore, navigate, and make use of the regions near the true data distribution in the denoising process. One of the biggest issues with GANs is a thing called “mode collapse” [2].

Thank you

I like that! Seems very reasonable and fun too.

Any downsides?


One time they didn't get the needle in smoothly and it hurt a little bit, but it really wasn't too bad

Wanna bet? I do that regularly. Sometimes just use my phone too.

"Accessible" to me means I get to use the media how I want to use it.

And when that is actually the deal I am happy to pay.

When it isn't? Let's just say I am not happy to pay.

A frame capture to see a detail, or discuss it with a friend is a perfectly ordinary thing to do. Same goes for audio.

People like to use media in many ways.

And these people have general purpose computing devices that do all sorts of things as they were designed to do.

What if people want to talk production? WHY does it look or sound like it does?

I believe what you meant to say was YOU think it is silly because YOU would NEVER stop your movie.

And that is OK! My wife would strongly agree with you.


You don’t get to redefine accessibility.

Why do we have to go by your chosen definition?

You don't.

My point simply is far more people than you may currently expect consider actually using something as a meaningful part of access.

It is kind of silly to separate the two in this context.

However ill advised I may consider it to be, you get to do that.

Access to media without use does not make much sense. "Here, hold this DVD for me."

Thanks?


I’m in agreement with you.

I was asking the other commenter (what) why he felt free to dismiss your definition on accessibility as a revision, while at the same time asking us to abide by his arbitrarily decided definition as the one true definition.

I fully think that accessibility is impossible without freedom to use all possible functionality.


Ahh. Indeed, thank you.

I noted that, but did not ask as you did.


I didn't. Cheers.

That was solid. Nice way to handle a direct personal judgement!

Not your first rodeo.

Another way is to avoid absolutes and ultimatums as aggressively as one should avoid personal judgements.

Better phrased as: "we did our best to prevent this scenario from happening again.

Fact is it just could happen! Nobody likes that reality, and overall when we think about all this stuff, networked computing is a sad state of affairs..

Best to just be 100 percent real about it all, if you ask me.

At the very least people won't nail you on little things, which leaves you something you may trade on when a big thing happens.

And yeah, this is unsolicited and worth exactly what you paid. Was just sharing where I ended up on these things in case it helps


Yep.

And anyone who does will find a percentage of users figure it out and then just get back to work.


Have been there, done that.

The answer is a support window. If they are in bounds and have active maintenance contracts, support them.

If not, give them an option to get on support, or wish them luck.

Then the other answer is to really think releases through.

None of it is cheap. But it can be managed.


I really like Skype and have a ton of important contacts on it.

Everyone is pissed, in our circles at least.

I dislike Teams for ad hoc comms.

We will have to pick something..

Not looking forward to that.

SKYPE suddenly HAS TO HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

Getting Microsoft accounts has to be why.

Nope. We will pick something else.


I have memories way back. Not quite infant, but somewhere between 1 and 2 years old, I started to string it together.

One trigger was fear of sleep. How do I know I wake up the same person? Seems silly right? Well, past me without a whole lot of experience was really concerned. I can remember a ton after that time.

What I find really interesting is both of us made some active choice to remember. Like we ended up with self awareness really early.

For me, it was mostly about unanswered questions. I have memories that are strongest from that time:

One was flicking the spring in my crib. Swoosh doing, doing, da,da,doing! That is me earliest one.

Why does it bounce like that? And the noise! If I flick one today, on one of those

Another was a trip to the neighbors. Their kid was named Cash. That is what we call money! WTF is with that?

Cash took me to play down stairs and they had a ton of nice stuff down there. Fencing for a ring of thieves. I recalled enough to nail them many years later to which my mom confessed they moved to get away from those people. Lol.

Another was this big bee. I looked at it and bet I was faster and stomped! Ouweeeee! The need died, but also totally stung me. Was not faster. Ugh. Boy, I can recall our porch, welcome mat, bright clear summer day, that bee and my foot going down. . I have more. Turning on the TV was vivid. Old tube one made noises as it came up. And smells. I recall it like it was yesterday.

Anything intriguing and I go into record mode. Everything about that time gets saved. Where I was who I was with, happenings...

I was afraid I might forget and never learn the thing one learns on one of those.

I still do it. Not as often now due to experience, but if it is really new to me, I will feel that switch and off it goes.
