Your litmus test isn't correct and your assumption of personalisation isn't correct either. All of the criteria that you see as fine are controlled under the relevant legislation a…

Yeah in any case they're great pics. Will definitely try the flocking suggestion.

Nice video. Same exposure/stacking/filtering/conditions in the before and afters? Cave nebula shows a big difference in results

Gemini gives instant, adaptive, expert solutions to an esoteric and complex problem, and commenters here are still likening LLMs to junior coders. Glad to see the author acknowledg…

Yes I agree, I don't think that it's good at all. It's just fascinating to me that people are criticising current LLMs using information they heard about LLMs 3 years ago, when rig…

It seems that people can't grasp the exponential rate of developments here. They're stuck in the GPT2 LLM narrative. Even with the amazing Veo 3 videos this week, people are still …

I did just mean AI and Computer Science per OP. By "head of steam" I mean to say that much research is built on it, think the likes of "Attention is All you Need". There isn't quit…

> Should we focus on the 3 amazing papers this year, cited by hundreds, that resulted in clear progress or should we complain that 100 papers are useless? Agree, and it seems that …

Overly pessimistic, and doesn't acknowledge that heads of steam only build behind promising findings, while the deficient (or 'fraudulent') work die on the vine, published or not. …

Seems more like a typical Chopin mazurka than a waltz

On reflection, it depends on what was meant by 'express' in the previous post; if an expression is a constructive discussion then that may be good. If an expression is smashing thi…

> Expressed anger/emotion is okay No it's not > bottled up anger/emotion is not good Yes it is It is tautologically obvious why expressing anger does not result in reduced anger in…

Great idea. Americans are so funny.

You're pointing out a single inconsistency and calling it a basic mistake, but are ignoring the thousands of advanced consistencies evident in the image, i.e., creativity that is b…

Would be interesting to see if the perceptive abilities of generative models are superior to human perception, when tested on optical illusions that humans are fooled by. E.g., do …

There wasn't something that needed covering up. If he'd reported the methodology in the paper there would have been no issues. It's likely that this was omitted from the paper as a…

This reads to me like codified psychopathy. Maybe it's profitable to assess people's insecurities or "experience caring for a dying parent" when hiring, but I wouldn't be advertisi…

I bought one of the cheapish (€300) Super 8/8mm scanners on Amazon. It scans quite quickly while displaying the results on a small screen. It's a nice convenient device, but I can'…

I also restored some Super 8 footage recently and had great success. The biggest win I had wasn't resolution, but slowing down the speed to be correct in DaVinci, and interpolating…

> They act as if they are paid by amount of time you spend watching movies At least up until 2015 (last published paper that I'm aware of) this actually is how they optimised their…

> Computers can't read minds. They can't analyze the content of the movie and have the emotional experience that a person can No but you can read minds by proxy, via ratings, which…

That's called collaborative filtering ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_filtering ) and is perhaps the most battle-hardened and most effective approaches in recommender…

I have to wonder about a business model where you sell one inexpensive device and it works so well that the user never has to buy one of your products again. I'm in the same boat a…

Tascam and Zoom still have a modern range of x-track recorders that are standalone and don't need PC.
