    Yeah, I thought the same after seeing this. It's kind of a fun use-case of Diffusion models in this context, but as a scientific paper it seems too overselling. Well, it surely is …

    Well to be fair, three of the four apps are Apple ecosystem apps (although Craft now expanding to other platforms). Maybe Roam, Obsidian, Logseq would be better examples of booming…

    My portfolio website is 4-lingual and the initial setup was pretty confusing (a bit trial and error until I understood how it works). But now it works very conveniently.

    Hugo has a multilingual mode[1] which I am using on two websites. It's a bit confusing at first but works pretty well for me. For content, you basically put blogarticle.en.md and b…

    There's a paper which does something similar including an analysis of different statistical models on top of a CIELAB color space. Estimating Color-Concept Associations from Image …

    For people who are interested in this kind of idea, there is some research on estimating Word-Color associations. A popular crowd-sourced dataset for this is [1] which contains ave…

    While I think general awareness of ethics concerns is needed, I think it might also sometimes bias research directions in itself. I.e., dealing with ethics concerns and/or ethics c…

    Comparing iOS 10~13 with macOS 10.12~15 release dates, macOS seems to always come out 7 days after iOS. This year it has been 12 days after iOS 13.0, instead. Wouldn't really call …
