Does anyone have more details on the footage format itself? What is the codec used, bitrate? Is it all in one huge file or split. Are there perhaps full resolution stills available? (without the youtube compression) I'm interested in g

I disagree with the author on the below: >With GPT-3, we now have an infinitely-scalable technology that is years away from being able to enrich our lives, but is already more than capable of drowning out all remnants of authentic conten

Swallows. That and the fact wild animal populations swing widely to extremes sometimes. I have been paying close attention to swallows in recent few years and the numbers of them as well as the bugs they eat are skyrocketing in my area. Whe

No, it is childish and immature to think your company can have a cake and eat it too. Make proprietary models and advertise itself as open while at the same time scaremongering to stop other open initiatives. It is crystal clear to everyone

For anyone who actually used those models for more than few days and learns their strengths and weaknesses it is completely obvious all this talk of "societal impact", or as you called it self imposed limits are 100% bulls**. Ever

Both issues you raise are already kind of solved(or very close to it) in the corporate security world. Also, I think people will lie and cheat when we make it easy for them to get away with it. Sending all data their way into their closed &

As always in such cases this is 100% bull**. Either something is not working out for them and they have to delay in which case they could've just said so, or this is some sort of pretense to show how "responsibility minded" t

This is pretty cool. I hope the 30x0 cards come even more down in price once new AMD cards show up. In other news, did no one noticed USD is now worth more than one EUR? For us in EU this sucks because adding our ~20% vat on top of prices (

People can enjoy the benefits of AI assistance without having their privacy violated. Running ML models on edge devices will become the norm whenever possible. Then we will allow such devices like Alexa to talk to web endpoints to get data,

Few people asked "why duplicate v4l2 functionality", but really libcamera serves a different purpose. V4l2 (and v4l) are frameworks that support connecting multiple types of devices. IMO the biggest advantage of libcamera is their

This is interesting. Perhaps you'll find it interesting that all the transceivers in Soviet (and allied) tanks during early cold War used this technology. I also saw it in big lorry mounted KF radios from the 50s~70s. There were a bunc

It is all well and good until adversaries try attacking their AI chat bot. How will they decide what is actual human input and what is a result of artificial campaigns that want to push the AI one way or another? No doubt there will come a

It is very useful those apps exist. They also advertise the lack of ads in those apps so I suspect they are financed by some public (or charitable) institution. Unfortunately, all apps can't be finances this way so I personally would r

Exactly, I've recently been trying a new version of gnome and I was really surprised how snappy and quick it felt with all animations disabled (it was running on a fast pc too). I much prefer them off ever since.
