eh, you're cool, don't worry about the naysayers

While yea it is nice to directly deliver to HTML (I've done it many times), reality is most UI is in other framework languages. Plus I think a strong use-case is making output / browsing inside UI AI interfaces, which are also likely in a framework.

You provided enough for others who really care to add a direct-to-HTML plugin/fork if they so choose. Many of us want to use frameworks.

While I like solar & wind, when oil is drilled, natural gas is often burned off at the drill site. So if it is going to be burned, might as well make electrify from it.

"World Bank is urging energy firms to gather the gas and sell it to businesses and consumers.... Companies can use the gas in mobile electricity generating stations, to power their oil drilling sites, or as a fuel in petrochemical plants."

I would guess the 20 year 'tax break' (AKA the other taxpayers are footing the bill) is the real reason for the building. shell game

Meta built a data center in North Kansas City. I'm not sure details of their break (Mayor loves to hand out money), but power is likely cheaper, & def much greener (1/3 from wind farms in Western Kansas state last I checked).

"take advantage of a new Louisiana incentive program, established by Act 730, that offers qualifying projects a state and local sales and use tax rebate on the purchase or lease of data center equipment"

Cloudflare had only 100 PoPs just a few years ago. Bunny has been around 10 years, but didn't get the cash injection from Google like Cloudflare did.

If you read the article, Bunny uses Deno, CF uses a cut down version of Chromeium (each instance is like a browser tab; isolated). Thus the API difference.

But I do agree, CF is building out more of a suite.

Thanks for helping to highlight how hard it is to track cloned/fake images.

BTW I guess 'watermarks' can be easily scrambled; add noise, filters, &/or recompress into another image format (eg JPEG -> AVIF).

Leaving Substack 2 years ago

"Non profit" in USA are still very much profit-driven; only stipulations are:

+ must have a board + give away 30%+ of earnings (easily done by attaching a value to the OSS free installs & handling issues w/o billing)

Or actual photos of Clinton at a certain island that are real but called deep fakes?

I thought of a Scifi series years ago where puppeteers could force politicians say anything they wanted just by the threat of a deep fake.

One of the easiest research papers I did in uni was for my Psychology 101 about using St Johns Wort for depression. It was describable in Germany ATT with decent success rate for mild-moderate depression.

I wonder why it doesn't get prescribed / officially recommended here in USA?

I had some co-workers quit because they did just fine without working (eg free housing). Some families are sticking with 1 income or 1.5 income earners after COVID19; they want to raise their own kids. Also, teens don't work at fast food joints & small companies like they used to to save up for collage or get their 1st car.

Unemployment rate only looks at those 'looking for work'. Those who 'drop out of the labor force' are hard to account for.
