It's a tech demo.

When you post on a public forum defending child pornography, it's maybe a good time to take a step back and evaluate your life.

What are saying? Spell it out for us.

We'll worry about that when the Presidency and both houses of Congress are controlled by the Communist Party

If you're not afraid of DIY and it looking (much) uglier than these lamps, you can buy extremely bright "cob lights" and make something yourself: https://meaningness.com/sad-light-…

It takes an act of Congress to change the name. Trump just made one of his dictatorial proclamations.

That's a pretty well-solved problem at this point, if you want to do it yourself. You'll want some kind of NeRF tool and a way to calculate the camera poses of the photos you took.…

NVIDIA has been selling automotive-specific silicon for a decade.

We experimented with a rig with more cameras on it (four, in a square) but the baseline of the cameras on the drones we were using could be measured in centimeters, so the vertical…

All cables? Everywhere in the entire country? Accurate to the centimeter level and updated on the hour? Edit: This was flippant, but the real issues are: any map you get will be in…

Statistics are not theft. Judges have written over and over again that training a neural network (which is just fitting a high-dimensional function to a dataset) is transformative …

I used to work at Valve -- on the CS:GO team, no less -- although I left nearly a decade ago. I don't know what prompted this change but I have some suspicions. Even when I was the…

I would say the Federal Government is different from a private company.

One of the difficulties -- and one that is currently a big problem in LLM research -- is that comparisons with or evaluations of commercial models are very expensive. I co-wrote a …

I worked with Nick back in the ILM R&D group. He's an incredibly kind man and one of the best developers I've ever met; truly a genius.

In your rush to condemn it, did you actually read the linked article? Let me quote: "These tests [...] were “supposedly applicable to both white and black prospective voters who co…

Data augmentation in CPU-space is often compute-light, but requires rapid access to memory. There are libraries (like NVIDIA's Dali) that can do augmentation on the GPU, but this t…
