I've been using KeePass for years and have recently switched to Strongbox which is an incredible app/ui to interact with Keepass databases for macOS and iOS.

The database is kept in sync with either Dropbox or iCloud.


A lot of notes apps seem to be adding some type of visual note-taking (is that the right term?)

Logseq now has a whiteboard feature that is similarly powerful.


When is SBF going to be arrested? I cannot believe he did this and lost US customers money yet he can walk free.


I agree.

As my business become more complicated and I become less a tech oriented student and more a "have to get the paperwork done for legal reasons" type person I went back to iPhone and never looked back.

I noticed many people I know running very time consuming business to be iPhone users too, not having the time to tinker with Android.

I notice my tech friends working in support love android, as their job doesn't really let them tinker. How we for those running's servers and dealing with backend stuff I see iPhone ownership is about 50/50, far higher than in support.

And most people I know that own their own business like I do are almost always iPhone users.

We just do not have time to dig deep into our phones and tinker, we have too much work to do and we are already stretched for time with our families, why waste that on configuring yet another Android ?


That's a lot of stereotyping. Has it occurred to you that not every Android user wastes time to "tinker" with their phone and they're just normal people who use it like you do your iPhone?

Android is not like Linux were it's exclusive to developers, geeks and tinkerers. The market share also exemplifies that it's just as much for average joes as iOS.


I have a hard time with threads like this because it feels like half the comments are straight out of an Apple ad. "It's simple", "It just works", "PC is some nerd twiddling bits but Mac is cool and gets things done". It feels like a cheap shot, but when "the nerds" are proclaiming Apple the one true OS the hacker ethic is really suffering.

My wife switched from Android to Apple, then Apple back to Android a couple times. Turns out they're really not that different, and the "simple" one is the one you're used to (noting in the Android ecosystem companies like Samsung really do a disservice by trying to stand out from stock in a different-but-no-better way).


Another recent development: Midjourney v4 has much better "image prompt" abilities allowing you to feed in various images of a character you have made to allow further scenes to maintain the characters likeness throughout.

I've read people making comics and generate many different scenes say v4 now allows consistent character design.


Is there any option to set so that every image is automatically saved, and not to camera roll, but to the local app folder (same folder that contains this apps data)


Emad said on Twitter that this funding round completed 8 weeks ago and it was the last few weeks he has been stalling.

For over a month after the funding round completed he was eager to release as much as he could, including 1.5

My read on the issue is that either of (or all) the following is causing some concern:

1. The severe pushback from artists regarding the fact that the model is trained on living artists artworks.

2. Almost every implementation removed the nudity filters.

Do you have a source for this?

This issue has been claimed many times and I've heard that DALL·E 1 & 2, Stable Diffusion & Midjourney all can create images that are exact copies of the training material.

This doesn't make sense considering the compression ratio of training images to model is about 1:25,000.

Further investigations I have made show that all these cases can be explained via the following:

1) The prompt included an image, so some form of image2image was used. Of course if you use an image as a base, and tell the model to stick closely to that image, the output will largely resemble that image.

2) The example was completely made up.

So far I have seen no evidence, given a text prompt, the output of an image containing some portion of any image from the training set.


It's not needlessly provocative human neurons have shown in almost every study to be superior to all other animal neurons.

Let the backlash happen and as a society let's put a stop to letting religious idiocy get in the way of science.

There is an entire field of study for ethical science and I stand behind that 100%.

Unethical science can get lost!

I'm not a progress at any costs type of person.

But is this actually unethical or just something a religious idiot doesn't like?


Only religious idiots would prefer a "normal" life over having human-brained gorilla chimeras do all the work and just consuming psychotropics all day, right?


Oh captain my captain, lead me to this promised land!


Very few people are not brainwashed in one direction or another, there is no need to call them idiots.


FYI, pretty sure the parent of the comment you’re responding to is the one that’s actually calling them idiots.


Enough of talking about them, then :)


> human neurons have shown in almost every study to be superior

Until recently I thought a neuron is a neuron is a neuron. How are they different between species?


My understanding is that they don't just differ between species, but they differ substantially between different types within the same individual.

My understanding is extremely limited.

That being said, my impression is that some of the axiis they can vary on include things like : how they respond to some other chemicals ("neurotransmitters"? not sure if that's the right word) in their environment, whethether they produce/emit those other chemicals, the types of conditions under which they fire (e.g. from how much they "leak" activation over time, counteracting the signals they get sent from others), things like uh, I think(?) whether they tend to fire at a particular rate by default which can be increased or decreased by signals they receive(?) vs whether they by default do not fire unless they receive enough other signals,

I'm unsure of basically all the things I just listed, but my impression is that there are lots of ways they can differ, and they definitely aren't all the same.


I would like a source for the first claim. When I read the preprint for this paper half a year ago it was actually one of their claims that to the best of their knowledge their Pong experiment was the first to show human neurons being ‘better’.


It's because there is no exchange, if I give you a birthday gift can that be considered income? Obviously not as I am not asking for something in return.

However:

If I buy you a gift and we agree for the gift you do task x for me. Now that is income and the value of the gift must be considered income on your tax return.

Disney isn't saying "here is a room for free if you do x, y , z"

Disney is saying "here is a room for free" and that is the end of it.

Of course the obvious issue for Disney is that the influencer might never do the review of the park and never in a million years could Disney take them to court complaining services were not rendered.

You cannot give a gift with expectation of return.

So it's not income.

But it's limited because the one giving you the gift really has to trust that you'll do the thing you do.

I am surprised Disney would bother to be honest. I thought their theme parks were popular enough already.

Caveat donor! The hand of the taxman extends somewhat further than laid out here.

In Denmark, gifts beyond a certain amount are taxable.

The USA has similar rules.

They want to keep being popular ;). Same as the coke comment above me


Why does Coke pay for advertising?
