I'm fighting myself on the Jolla C2 at the moment. I'm kinda in the same category as you I guess :D

Yeah, title needs (2020) added. GANs were fun though. :)

Holy... wtf... At 2:04 the original deliberately has everyone on stage way out of focus, and the AI upscaler (or the person operating it) decided to just replace it with an in-focus version sporting what looks like late 90s video game chara

So... the videos showing the difference between the AI-tainted youtube version and the supposedly untainted instagram version are hosted on... youtube?

Jup, shame really. Just a little bit of better formatting and typesetting could really go a long way there. :)

I've seen the John Oliver videos and all, so I know this comes as a surprise to no-one but... the US needs to get its act together and build some actual infrastructure. I've heard lots of encouraging stories on the Volts podcast a

> There must still be a limit to how much size and weight a rider is willing to tolerate. This is true for bikes, and after decades of marketing and fearmongering, basically the inverse is true for cars. I'm saying this as a europ

Huh? Battery has never forced me to upgrade. It has invariably been the inability to still use the "new and improved" version of google maps.

More like under-compliance than over-regulation. "Bruh sorry we were technically unable to produce a website without invasive dark pattern tracking stuff. Tech is haaaaard." Honestly, I've never found a page outside my own co

So the problem is a bunch of AI companies mining our web content for training data without asking and without regard for hosters' effort/bandwidth and the users' service quality. And the proposed remedy is to give them human-

and arent' there retro-active device blocklists on bluray? I seem to recall sth of the sort. Sure, they can be circumvented, but then why bother buying in the first place if you're gonna be the bad guy anyhow?

Kudos to the image selection team. :)

That would be an acceptable outcome. I'll accept the 5 billion whether they come from the employer or from OpenAI. :)

On the other hand, if you're in climate science, what are you supposed to do? The science is pretty clear right now, what we lack is political action. Yet when climate scientists stop using the carefully-weighed language of academia

hahaha, that would require us stopping to terraform it first, by stopping to burn fossil fuels.

As a cyclist myself I can't say that cars are terribly predictable. Especially not when parked. I've had my fair share of near-death experiences with doors randomly opening right onto the (mandatory) bike lane.

couldn't be that 99.9% of pedestrians cross the road on "secured" crossings, huh? :D Yeah, stats are difficult.

> The comparison around deaths is only useful if those figures are primarily car deaths caused by running red lights. I don't know about the UK or US, but here in France, the majority of pedestrians killed each year die on "pro

being a pro-bike activist in a very car-friendly french city, this argument comes up in every. single. comment section. no matter whether there's anything related to actual bikes in there, or whether accidents were the topic at all.

Yeah. Much easier to tragedy-of-the-commons the hell out of what is arguably one of the only consistently great achievements on the web...

That would be a much stronger line of argument if cloudflare wasn't used by everyone and their consultant, including on a bunch of sites I very much don't have an option of not using.

Heh, I just literally built a toy dashboard in dioxus that loads just about 2MB of code, and then 700KB of css (tailwind, not optimized) and 1.5MB of payload data to visualize. Then again the 2MB includes ~1.7MB of just static data that I i

Hey, this looks really nice and worked like a breeze for French! Question: out of the processing steps you mention - transcription, quality filtering, segment selection, and (I guess) wrong-word selection) are there any truly manual steps?

Getting a visa to travel to conferences was one of the major blockers for non-EU citizens during my studies. It was heartbreaking to see people work for years on a subject, finally get accepted to a top conference, and then not be able to g
