Impressive of the American news channel, CNN, to convert images in minus one second.
- FreakyT 6y agoI, too, was initially very confused by the headline.
- wiredfool 6y agoWell, Turner used to colorize b/w movies, I guess progress marches on.
- S_A_P 6y agoWould add a new dimension to "fake news" if it were...
- sneakernets 6y agoSpeaking of, This would help a lot of awful dark photos sent in to news sources.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoWell I got the right CNN by the time I got to the end of the title, but, "Turner"? The British pastoral landscape painter? You lost me.
- wiredfool 6y agoTed Turner founded CNN.
- chungy 6y agoCNN is owned by Turner Broadcasting
- oliveshell 6y agoFor reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Turner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Turner
- ggregoire 6y agoSeriously, what/who's CNN here?
- wyldfire 6y agoCNN here is a "Convolutional Neural Network"
- whoisjuan 6y agoI think OP was being sarcastic
- wyldfire 6y agoMe too, but lots of people may not know so I answered it as if it were sincere.
- gravitas 6y agoraises hand I interpreted it as the news company, looked at Github and came back going "what does CNN have to do with this, it looks like they're uni students." Thank you for the actual acronym expansion, it's obtuse if you don't know anything about this stuff. Terrible title.
- echelon 6y agoThe title needs to be changed so brains recognize it as such. It either needs a preceding adjective or letter indicating what type of convolutional network it is. The other option is spelling it out. Most people will read CNN as the news channel. Even those familiar with neural networks.
- numbernine 6y agoNot everyone is from the US...
- isoprophlex 6y agoThey should make a CLI tool, it stores your processed images one sec before it is invoked!

- StavrosK 6y agoSee also Ted Chiang's What’s Expected of Us, where there's a device with a button and a LED, and the LED always lights up one second before you press the button.

- montenegrohugo 6y agoI understand that the title may have brought confusion, and I think your comment calls attention to this whilst also being somewhat funny. But still, could we make an effort not to devolve into what has happened on Reddit, i.e. comment sections which mainly consist of puns and other low effort jokes?
- zoomablemind 6y agoTitle is confusing (?intentionally). Would make sense to add Tensorflow to make it more specific.
- ccktlmazeltov 6y agoI don't understand what you are saying, it is very "HN" to comment on the title and not on the article. And it is even more "HN" to comment on details of the title or the article because you don't really know what to say about the article. Look at my comment.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoSure, and ideally those are downvoted. But low-grade jokes fit in here even less and are usually downvoted. At least that's how it is before HN finishes its transition into Reddit, at which point they won't be downvoted and we'll be back to scrolling through bad jokes like "lol CNN in the title looks like CNN the news network lmao, anyone else notice?" to find serious comments. It's a fight worth fighting. "C'mon it's just a joke lol" or "it's only a comment about the title" only assist in that transformation.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoMeta: this is when I like the Slashdot method, you allow the jokes, tag them as jokes, and let people use their own settings to show/hide the jokes. Basically be permissive on content, but demand proper tagging, then allow people to filter out what they don't want.
- yingw787 6y agoYeah, my mind jumped to CNN's coverage of the first Gulf War and having some color night vision for combat journalism: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25803/this-is-what-color-night-vision-looks-like-and-it-stands-to-be-a-game-changer https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25803/this-is-what-col...
- dang 6y agoPlease don't do this. What would be a fun crack in person becomes a plastic garbage patch here.
