It is not an ad. I was just captivated by this report. The report could be better, but I like that someone is digging into this kind of data.
Even real authors such as Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson somehow failed to match the depth of Frank Herbert's writing to conclude the original Dune series. And they were using his notes for the plot.
Hunters of Dune: The New York Times said of Hunters of Dune that "Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson go through the motions, but they don't often seem to be having much fun with their material

Sandworms of Dune: Conversely, the novel was criticized by Publishers Weekly for its writing and storytelling methods: Longtime collaborators Herbert and Anderson set themselves a steep challenge-and, in the end, fail to meet it-in this much anticipated wrapup of the original Dune cycle.

Sometimes I have to shake my head regarding some of the stories that get posted to Slashdot nowadays. This is neither "news for nerds" nor "stuff that matters".
This is okay news. The subject is new extension to AI image generators which allows to insert user content. It is better than to be limited only to the training data set. Or did I get it wrong and was that always possible?
From the article:
With an additional technique called Dreambooth, people can insert their own subject or character into scenes generated by Stable Diffusion. It can also be used to insert real people into fictional situations.
The sooner we invade DPRK the better if you ask me.
I really hope that they will be able to bring down dictatorship from within. Which countries ended dictatorship:
ChatGPT:
Many countries have transitioned from dictatorship to democracy, or have abolished dictatorship and established a democratic system of government. Some examples of countries that have ended dictatorship in recent history include:
VS Code is a current product and under active development. It's a decent IDE once you figure it out. Opens fast, supports almost everything, git support built in... Good stuff.
I like that I can use VS Code on my Mac, Linux and Windows machines. Doing some cross platform development. I use vsc only as a text editor and use msys2, gcc and clang from standard terminal.
pluses: can handle files with gigabytes of data, fast (indexed) grep like search in thousands of text files in total 100 GB, automatic code index to jump to definitions etc., remote connections to work on another machine
minuses: different keyboard shortcuts than MS Visual Studio, takes lots of RAM - about 1 GB per window, can not open two windows in the same directory, some settings are stored in a binary format (sqlite) and are difficult to move to another PC, annoying popup suggestions which can be fortunately turned off, setting up debugger can be difficult
The more of you Russian-paid trolls I read, the more I lean toward an aggressive response to Russia. Poland should take Konigsberg back as the inheritor of East Prussia. Finland should take all of Karelia back as well. Fund the caucus armies to drive out Russia, fund the caucus groups to drive out Russia, fund the Siberian locals movement to drive out Russia. Dismantle the imperial vestige of Russia and its successors until it has nothing with which to fight. At all costs.
That is very bad idea. I think that it is what Russia is trying to provoke us to do. To drag others into their misery.
