Good article! I largely agree, though I wouldn't say so much it's about correctness rather than memory safety. Yes, correctness is the keystone, but that Rust is apt for low-level use, fast, expressiv, and so on, is not just a coincidence, but a great feat of engineering. It's the combination between the correctness focus and the valuable industrial properties that makes it, if not unique, at least unusually fit.

This generative model allows you to sketch out a scene with a few words, it then leverages an LLM to flesh out the details, with the ultimate goal of feeding those details to a downstream visual image generation model. It is almost, but not quite, entirely the inverse of image captioning models. This offers the closest experience to an image generation tool that's usable by people with visual impairments.
Can this itself give you a downloadable image? I'm trying to work that out, and I found the 'Render image' button but I don't know that it does anything noticeable.
@FreakyFwoof Yes, it can generate actual images. Just click that button and wait for a little while. It seems to load a separate model on demand when you click the button, which takes time.
@FreakyFwoof I was able to save the generated image by focusing the entry containing the image, moving the mouse cursor to it, performing a right-click, and clicking "save image as".
I'm wondering, how is this different compared to generating an image via Stable Diffusion for example? Are the images more predictable, i.e. closer to what your prompt is?
@erion The main difference is that this provides a detailed textual description. It doesn't generate the actual image. You give it a simple prompt of what you want, and it draws the scene textually in full details.
Das #Mittelalter war in manchen Punkten moderner als die "Moderne": Nachhaltigkeit und Generationengerechtigkeit waren schon Thema - freilich mit anderen Begriffen. Die Historikerin Annette Kehnel bringt Licht ins angeblich "Dunkle Zeitalter".

“Dot and Bubble,” the latest instalment in the Doctor Who series, is a significant departure from the season’s more hopeful narratives. It presents this season’s most depressing and negative look at the future. Penned by showrunner Russell T.

Since a new version has been released 4 days ago, let me take the opportunity to mention that @FeatherWiki is still the best, single-page local wiki ever made. It's minimalistic, extensible, and accessible to #screenReader software as well.
If you like TiddlyWiki but find yourself confused because of the myriads of expanding sections, you will love FeatherWiki.
Niektorí z vás si možno pamätajú securiťácku mantru - "There is no cloud, just someone else's computer", čiže "Nie je to cloud, iba počítač niekoho iného"... Roky bežia a evolúcia priniesla vzostup tzv. generatívnej, ehm, umelej inteligencie. Tu zas platí nová, upravená, mantra - "Nie je to žiadna umelá inteligencia, iba dáta iných ľudí"
Sternfahrt Köln und die Kidical Mass Köln rufen zur 17. Kölner Sternfahrt am 16.6. auf, um mehr Tempo bei der Verkehrswende zu fordern. Aus allen Himmelsrichtungen führen Fahrrad-Demos Richtung Kölner Innenstadt, wo sich alle um 13:30 Uhr am Aachener Weiher treffen.
Podaktorí vodiči nemajú súdnosť. Mne tak tie autá v centre lezú na nervy a tento evidentne zablúdil a nie aby sa vrátil ale krížom cez námestie... drzosť, chcel som mu ísť zaklopať na okno ale úspešne som sa zdržal, pracujem.
Keď som istého času robil v Prahe ako vodič Uberu, tak som mal raz jednu zákazníčku (rusku žijúcu v Česku, ktorá ale asi veľmi nevedela po česky), ktorá chcela odviezť do jedného NC, ktoré ale bolo na pešej zóne. Doviezol som ju asi tak 200m pred neho, a chcela aby som išiel až pred vchod, na čo som sa jej snažil povedať, že tam ísť nemôžem, čo sa jej veľmi nepáčilo. Auto na fotke asi nebude ten istý prípad, ale pointa je, že niektorí ľudia asi nechápu čo znamená pešia zóna.
vôbec tam nemal čo robiť, prešiel pomedzi terasy akoby sa nechumelilo. Všade na vôkol sú ambasády a tý tiež, boom cez mesto. Nechápem tú logiku mať obrovské auto do mesta kde to ledva vytáčaš a musíš to robiť každý deň. To že by mohli parkovať v garáži a chodiť do mesta pešo to asi ne ee.

Big tech is playing its part in reaching net zero targets, but its vast new datacentres are run at huge cost to the environment, says economics professor Mariana Mazzucato
@chikim Aren't they now talking about double-flash-attention, or something like that? I came across it yesterday, but didn't dig too deep into it just yet.
Dostal jsem krásně skvělej špatnej nápad na "virální" #kampaň tady na #Fediverse a chci vás požádat o pomoc.
Asi se shodneme na tom, že @Programy do voleb dělaj výbornou záslužnou práci a protože Fediverse a #Mastodon nemaj žádnou rozumnou metriku, jak měřit zájem, napadl mě takovej experiment :)
Za květen dostaly @Programy do voleb na příspěvkáh od dárců 770 Kč. Od všech dárců a zde přijde ta vtipná část - uděláme první českej #crowdfunding tady na #Fedi!
Do komentáře napište Mastodon / Fediverse nebo jinej typ instance, na který běžíte.
Retootněte, sdílejte, pošlete screen chcete-li a užijte si první "virální" promokampaň tady na Fedi :)
Cíl?
Cílem je trumfnout výběr za květen jenom příspěvky z Fediverse. Dáme to, když 30 Kč pošle 26 lidí. Je tu 26 lidí, co má rádo programy do voleb? :)
Update: Protože jsou tady na Fedi všichni bohatý anebo maj drahý tramvajenky, částka se díky nim vybrala téměř hned. Tohle ale není o penězích - tohle je sčítání lidu! Měním tedy z boží a Janovo vůle cíl - chci vytlačit všechny ty normální lidi s jejich fejsbukama a twitterama někam tak deset stránek za nás, občany Fediverse. Každá stránka je deset lidí. Chci vás tam vidět všechny!
Any #blind people have one of these? Are they accessible. The page says there’s a bluetooth module. Does that mean they have an app where you can get your results accessibly? How is the accessibility of the test kit itself, in terms of a blind person being able to use it without too much difficulty?

it's kinda like we looked into tech solutions for safely crossing a highway near my old place that was in a sound bowl but because of the stakes we decided borrowing a set of human eyes was much safer
@AiraVI has been life saving for me in many situations especially because unlike BeMyEyes they are trained paid professionals so when the stakes are high, i feel a lot more comfortable

Yesterday, the UK government used an obscure emergency process to make possession of puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal, and punishable by up to two years in prison. [1] There was no parliamentary debate, no vote, and no public consultation.
Parents of children on GIC waiting lists are being told by the NHS that if they don't bring their kids to an """assessment""" they risk being reported to Social Services.
The Good Law Project recognises that the NHS are behaving unethically, and is running a crowdfunder to seek urgent legal advice to challenge the NHS.
On May 31st, letters went out from NHS England to parents of trans youth stating that they must immediately stop taking puberty blockers, and that possession will be considered a crime.
Made a git repo for the .well-known/button spec to hopefully make collaboration easier with issues and such, and provide a long-term place for hosting the spec
Nice! I’d consider tagging items in the buttons array with some additional metadata:
animations: I was considering a boolean but there should be an option for “minimal”. A cute little twinkle isn’t the same as a sliding animation or flashing lights. So perhaps “static”, “minimal”, and “high”.
colorScheme (“dark”, “light”)
I often don’t see static or minimally-animated variants of buttons I use so I have to make them myself and “guess” the best key frames.
providing variants for accessibility sounds like a great idea honestly
the "high animation" kind of buttons can give me a headache and I think including something for accomodating prefers-reduced-motion sounds like a great idea
For those unfamiliar image-rendering: pixelated is used in CSS to make pixelart images nice and crisp! Unfortunately I’ve noticed that on my computer it distorts unscaled pixels :( I’m not sure if this is a firefox thing or a my screen thing.
Not entirely decided, however I was thinking that sharing arbitrary buttons would add complexity and raise questions on how to handle issues such as crediting and consent since a lot of the buttons are personal, so for now I was thinking of limiting the intended usage to sharing the author's buttons
That would make sense, that felt missing from the phrasing of the text and I wasn't sure if this was intentional or not
imo other people's buttons are usually part of page content so i think it'd make more sense to denote that inline for that (such as rel or something more fitting) but that's my 2c
@Seirdy I just wish that people publishing web stuff would know that it's disruptive and unhelpful so that we weren't here in the first place, but 'tis naïveté of the web

Po tom, čo sa mi podarilo konečne zmigrovať blog z Drupalu, hovoril som si, že načim aj niečo napísať... Recall od Microsoftu ma konečne prinútil sa trochu rozhýbať:
the website had amazing artwork and photos they could use! but whoever made the banner just had to pass on that and find a stock-photo of two white models. Sigh.
#Jesenická60 byla dnes výživná, ale mohla být ještě lepší, kdyby vyšla předpověď. Naštěstí deště spadlo mnohem míň, než avizovaných 20mm. I tak to byla solidní zábava. A odpoledne se za odměnu vyčasilo. Přes 55 km pěšky, nevím, jestli to budu chtít ještě někdy opakovat (dnes tvrdím, že ne). #Jeseníky #CzechRepublic
I didn't know this astronomical clock cow still exists. 🐮🕚 It was created at my high school in 2004 for the #CowParade project. I remember meeting cow painting schoolmates at the hall. And here it is, still standing on the Prague street
If I were a theistic evolutionist, I’d assume this was God’s way of telling me to reread Peter Watts’ Rifters trilogy, which would be weird on so many levels
Scientists have discovered that a once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event is underway, as two lifeforms have merged into one organism that boasts abilities its peers would envy. Last time this happened, Earth got plants.
