> In this work, we present the first text-to-image diffusion model that generates an image on mobile
devices in less than 2 seconds. To achieve this, we mainly focus on improving the slow inference speed
of the UNet and reducing the number of necessary denoising steps.
As a layman, it's impressive and surprising that there's so much room for optimization here, given the number of hands on folks in the OSS space.
> We propose a novel evolving training framework to obtain an efficient UNet that performs better
than the original Stable Diffusion v1.52 while being significantly faster. We also introduce a data
distillation pipeline to compress and accelerate the image decoder.
Clear and legible pricing is essential. I took a look at the event page in question [1]. The "ea." seems like something that can be overlooked, especially given the comparatively miniscule font size (8px versus 14px for the price) [2].
On the checkout page, the fact that it is per ticket is clearer, but there's no total/subtotal information. Looking at the "Terms Of Use And Privacy Policy" [4], there's also this fun line:
> You further understand and agree to pay service fees and delivery fees, which cover the costs of our operations, including the 100% buyer guarantee outlined below, the checkout security services, customer service, and the delivery of the tickets.
...and those fees are supposed to be shown during checkout. [5]
Hi there, thanks for the feedback! I overlooked testing with scrollbars set to always show, as Firefox recently started following macOS/Windows system settings rather than using its own setting. I've updated the CSS to use `100%` to rectify this. For this specific post, a bare link was also causing additional horizontal scroll, so I addressed both in https://github.com/devadvance/devadvance.github.io/commit/6a....
Thanks for posting this link. I saw this submission and remembered that Chromium had a terminal rendering mode, but couldn't manage to find this page, since I wasn't searching Ozone specifically.
The fork here goes even further, which is really cool.
Highly encourage exploring Flutter as well, at least for new platforms. Lottie animations would pair nicely, as would any future goal of expanding to web or desktop.
Highly encourage folks to take a look at Valetudo. I recently installed it on a Dreame Z10 Pro and it works well. Even without various integrations, I added a DNS record for it and can happily go to http://vacuum/ to control it locally.
For stainless, I've found it to be a combination of making sure there's enough heat before adding food, being OK with using a bit more fat (e.g., oil, butter) than I initially expect, using the right utensil while cooking, and deglazing as necessary.
I previously worked at Intersection, an out-of-home (OOH) advertising company. Intersection does digital screens (displays and kiosks) in addition to traditional formats.
This is all public information that was previously shared, so it may be out of date: the devices are Linux (Ubuntu) [1], running an advertising player (Broadsign) [2], which has Chromium Embedded (CEF) for web content [3]. The kiosk app was written in React [4]. It does things like load most data ahead of time to provide that "instant" feeling [5].

Maybe Chrome OS Flex will eventually support ARM Macs [0]? That would be cool for sure. I installed CloudReady for someone last year and it saved him from buying a new computer, and saved me from worrying about ongoing OS updates.
Disclosure: I work at Google and am speaking only for myself. I do not work on anything related to Chrome OS.
The fact that the post mentions hiring (cost) isn't my hesitation. It's that bringing cost into a conversation about the technical merits of a given technology can be a heavy-handed way of shutting down the conversation. In some cases, technical merits very much do justify the cost, but that can only happen by creating the space to find out.
Said differently: I believe it's often worthwhile to discuss the deeper technical merits of options without hastily jumping to a cost discussion.
My primary hesitation with posts like this is that it mixes engineering points (performance, developer experience, code sharing) with a more general business point: hiring.
Hiring is a cost. There are costs to any decision. Opportunity cost, risk, business continuity, operational costs, etc. Hiring is generalizable so it makes for an easy example here.
I would hope that experienced folks making decisions like "React Native or Flutter" would weigh the full gamut of costs in their specific business context.

The article is hard to support or dispute when the contents are primarily anecdotal.
For example, it may be a more productive conversation once the 2022 point-in-time count of people experiencing homelessness is completed [1]. That will make comparisons to other points in time more effective.
