What would digtal storage look like in freedom units?
  • I mean sure, it's true there's still ambiguous usage. But that doesn't change the fact that hard drive manufacturer use the powers of 1000, which is what the previous comment was about.

  • What would digtal storage look like in freedom units?
  • No, the powers of 1024 are called "Kibibyte (KiB)", " Mebibyte (MiB) and "Gibibyte (GiB)" (those are called "binary prefixes"). Gigabyte is 1000^3. This is why hard drive manufacturers use Gb instead of Gib, because it lets them sell a smaller drive with the same number before the prefix (2 TB < 2 TiB).
    Prior to 1998, it was ambiguous, and some usages of the metric prefixes to denote 1024^n persist to this day (hello Windows). But nowadays any usage of 1024^n should absolutely use the binary prefixes.

  • As badly described as possible, what is your favorite video game?
  • You try to land on the moon but you just keep missing for some reason. So you go to read alien scriptures on some hourglass or whatever

  • logical
  • That's literally the same way with any other base. We just defined orders of magnitudes to be multiples of 10 because we use base 10. We could just as well have used other multiples.

  • waiting is pain
  • Try Liftoff, it's pretty good! (Might not be as feature-complete yet though)

    I missed the train on getting free monthly credits for midjourney. Are there any free ai image prompt sites?
  • You can use Stable Horde to prompt from a collection of volunteers running Stable Diffusion. This is a nice front-end for it
    Those who contribute to the horde get credits to obtain results faster, so there is a queue (currently 3-4 minutes)
