Thank you for this info, as you mentioned CLIP is used for re-ranking DALL-E outputs, by itself it is just an (image, text) pairs classification network.

It's a recurring theme in OpenAI research, they become more and more closed. For instance their latest model called DALL·E hit the headlines before the release of the paper. Needless to say, the model is not available and no online de

To benefit from the acceleration, one should use the Apple implementation of BLAS/LAPACK: the Accelerate framework, for the moment I think numerical python libs link against OpenBLAS ? But I'm not 100% sure.

After reading the comments and the blog post, I think that the requirements boils down to fast persistence to disk, minimum dependencies and fast test-runs. Fortunately the data is very small 150MB and it fits very easily in memory. Accord

It should be noted that social distancing is an ancient practice even before 1500. For example before 1400 years back, the Persian Islamic scholar Muhammad al-Bukhari recorded the following 7th-century hadith : “If you hear of an outbreak o

Results are spectacular, but as always and especially with OpenAI announcements one should be very cautious (lessons learned from GPT3). I hope that the model is not doing advanced patchwork/stitching of training images. I think that t

As other pointed out, its a fairly common practice even for western democratic government, for example French DGSE (CIA equivalent) assassination operations are called "opération Homo" and some of them are well known.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think that unlike some other markets (China and to some extent other Asian countries / Russia / etc) it's surprising how dependent the EU is on US corporations for digital services. As said the

Throughout human history, you can find many discoveries that were made before understanding why they work in the first place: we know exactly how the neural networks work, but we don’t know why they are so effective, maybe because of the l

Not a word about Secure Enclave in iPhone, it should be explicitly stated that the discussion is about Android/Linux Phones only. Otherwise, the conclusion that the most secure phone on the market today is the Pixel with CopperheadOS i

If you add occasional pixels to skew the average then probably it will be noticeable in the original image. But the interpolation scheme that uses only the four corners while ignoring the rest can be easily fooled. You can blend an entire l

Love the idea. I think that a pure collaborative filtering algorithm has some limitations (cold start, etc). Maybe a hybrid CF + content-based approach will be more adapted for essays?

The idea of automagic conversion of legacy code is great and the market is huge. But then Watson failed to deliver in the past and I doubt that this time it will live up to its claim.

I use this extensively for mixing/recording video streams, although I think that Muaz library is great, but browsers support for WebRTC recording is far from being production ready. Some issues off the top of my head : - Non seekable v

In 2000 using VB, you can build a GUI, make a working Windows application using a minimum amount of code. Also the documentation (msdn) and the community was really nice.

In software engineering, languages and tooling the progress is really slow. RAD tools existed for decades, OOP and functional programming paradigms remained largely the same for a very long period of time ... incremental enhancements but no

In our team, We serve PyTorch models in production using libtorch. A C++ library for loading models. You can easily call the C++ code in Go if you wrap it in a C interface.

Very nice results that challenge the conventional wisdom. DNN can work with symbolic data and calculations. I think that, it says a lot about our poor theoretical understanding of deep neural networks despite all the practical advances.

SDL is fine for cross platform development. Personally, I have used it for some commercial games in the past, but I think it's not comparable to Unity or unreal engine. SDL is not a game engine, it provides only lower level features (a

Nowadays it's more valuable to create custom nodes to enrich the node-based editor library. Sometimes we write shaders from scratch if we need to implement some original lighting, materials, etc

I agree with you, however in almost all commercial games that I worked on, we do write our own shaders. For simple shaders, artists use directly a graphical tool included in unity for shaders authoring without writing any code, for complex
