Fake video is happening regardless (and a lot better) with generative neural network architectures. Also fake video was already possible, we just see its usage ""democratized"", in a way. Empowering everyone to be able

The fact that will have reasonably priced, real-time unbiased global scene rendering within 5-10 years really blows my mind. I knew this was coming for a long time, but seeing it actually happen is so odd. After seeing the bright potential

Is there really a need to shrink models? As far as I know, most machine learning models can be very compact, often well under 1 GB. Even high-res vision CNNs aren't anywhere close to being fully-connected. They might have millions of w

This "I know better than you" disease needs treatment. We need to force AOT on all those individuals who are unable to understand how their actions are dangerous to society by enabling forced treatment. We need to enforce treat

Please come back with an update after trying this. There are also ways to identify you without using local storage (ie browser/device/network fingerprinting) but I doubt they use it officially.

Can we fix this kind of behavior without spiraling down to a money-spending competition? (Which the open source community clearly cannot win?) With open-source developers being badly paid, large numbers of relatively unknown contributors wi

I've never been in the US and stories like this make me imagine it as a bizarre authoritarian dystopia. How are the parents not reacting to this? How is there no law protecting the privacy of workers and children? Why is this not in th

So I guess they'll be reselling used clothes as new from now on? Or do the amazon prime members pay for the depreciation in value of the clothes they can "try on" for days?

It is. I'm afraid I'll have to side with the cynics until further info is give on it's principles of operation. The Plasmodium parasite doesn't seem to have any special characteristics (ie size, spectral response) that w

The massive amount of failed startups is caused by people who think this is a fun popular way to make money out of thin air. If you're level-headed and sensible, you can do your analysis, make a business plan and figure out if your ide

A lot of those ENT problems are related to allergies and irritants. The problem is that very often it's extremely hard to figure out what is causing the reaction and if it's an external element of the environment that can be modif

It's weird they don't mention the much more obvious fact that an air-breathing mammal might need to maintain some level of alertness when sleeping in water.

Let me save you some time on why: >While VGG16 has 5 pooling operations in its 16 layers, Resnet50 has only one pooling operation among its 50 intermediate layers and InceptionResnetV2 has only 5 among its intermediate 134 layers. Aka be

To me this looks like evidence that seals don't enjoy sleeping in water very much. Not much else. Also sleep-deprived rats seem to consume more calories. Wow.

They can't be, unless Google decides to enforce them. It's not the first time they crowd-source massive amounts of specialized effort, only to steal all the data, close them off and get away with it. Panoramio is the biggest one I

There's no point in denying that the majority of cab drivers were more rude and scammy 10 years ago. They were, and in some places they still are. But in my opinion, Uber was not even close to the top reason for the improvement you see

That's a great example that clearly demonstrates that local law can be enforced, even on companies like AirBnb. I hear lots of arguments on "You can't enforce the ban", but it's simpler than ever to just do that.

If you can't see how games and movies changed an entire generation in the last 20-30 years, you're blind. Morally, ethically, every aspect of their lives is different because of those influences, and in most cases not in a good wa

I don't get why you're downvoted so much. Coal certainly has a place, even nuclear does in a country as big as the US. Going on a "monofuel" energy production (which would be gas, for now) has a lot of hidden costs on to

Solar panels mix well with heat pumps in hot and dry climates indeed, because of the happy coincidence that peak solar radiation=peak demand for cooling. In that case it's not a bad combo, especially if you have mild winters without te
