🚨 powco is quite unusable on mobile 🚨

I have been having trouble using the website on mobile these past days:

  • main page only loads first 4-5 elements then freezes

  • can't navigate to any other part of the website

  • several browser crashes

  • my phone is overheating

It seems that pow.co is quite CPU intensive and might be difficult to use with less powerful devices.

1. How can we assess the performance of the website?

2. How can we improve the performance of the website?

This is great advice from a man with possibly the most perspective on tech startups.

It resonates with my perception that all Bitcoin SV companies that attempt to make tools for other bitcoin companies fail.

The lesson is build directly for the consumers. Bitcoin exaggerates this dramatically.

UX Request: Mint RUN NFTs

While work progresses on indexing RUN objects in the blockchain on the back-end, the next most useful development will certainly be the ability to mint new tokens in the browser, just like Relayx used to support reliably.

The actual RUN browser code is less important in this task than a simple, elegant user interface for minting.

Can you please help design the UX for minting?

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model. Thanks to a generous compute donation from Stability AI and support from LAION, we were able to train a Latent Diffusion Model on 512x512 images from a subset of the LAION-5B database. Similar to Google's Imagen, this model uses a frozen CLIP ViT-L/14 text encoder to condition the model on text prompts. With its 860M UNet and 123M text encoder, the model is relatively lightweight and runs on a GPU with at least 10GB VRAM. See this section below and the model card.

Rasa is an open source machine learning framework to automate text and voice-based conversations. With Rasa, you can build contextual assistants on:

Facebook Messenger
Slack
Google Hangouts
Webex Teams
Microsoft Bot Framework
Rocket.Chat
Mattermost
Telegram
Twilio
Your own custom conversational channels
or voice assistants as:

Alexa Skills
Google Home Actions
Rasa helps you build contextual assistants capable of having layered conversations with lots of back-and-forth. In order for a human to have a meaningful exchange with a contextual assistant, the assistant needs to be able to use context to build on things that were previously discussed – Rasa enables you to build assistants that can do this in a scalable way.

Cute! The father does a good job of running away when he recognizes that the cub is standing up for himself. Good lesson.
