Is this true of in-between animation (which is what's being discussed in the linked article)? I would think this doesn't require much creativity, since you're interpolating between keyframes, and might be a reasonable target

When I saw Twitter was launching a paid subscription then I figured it would probably be ad-free (like with YouTube Premium, Twitch Turbo, etc.). Odd that it isn't. It's a dealbreaker for me.

The focus on people has upsides too though. On reddit, you tend to see mostly content from people who post a lot, even if they are kind of dumb. With Twitter, you can choose to follow only people you actually respect.

I think the advice described here is distinctly different from "just do it". What it's describing is an alternative prioritization scheme for tasks. Instead of ordinary ways to prioritize like "do what's urgent&quot

I found it a bit odd that the article seemingly does not ask designers of voice systems why the voice is typically female-sounding. I have to imagine they’ve tested it both ways, so what’s their explanation for why they consistently make th

Without a crystal ball, there’s no way to know ahead of time who’s going to have an asymptomatic case. If there were a way to predict it with high accuracy, it’d be a different story, but for now that’s science fiction.

No matter who you are, vaccination is safer than catching covid. The vaccines are designed and tested for safety; covid gains evolutionary fitness from making you sick. As a result, the risks from vaccination are orders of magnitude lower,

It's fascinating that the main reason this is hard is that some of the human code is bad enough that it's hard to believe it's not GPT-2 output. (The first time this happened for me, I had to look it up to convince myself it&

That purported Einstein quotation set off some red flags: “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." Seems that he never said it, if this Quora answer is to be believed (and it seems reasonable):

Technical education should be considered an investment in the future of innovation, which benefits everyone in society, not as a goodie that must be distributed equitably.

Huh, for a while I've been wanting almost exactly this. I simulate it on Twitter by using a lot of (private) lists and sometimes navigating to single users, but that's clunky.

The only section I needed to read was "causation". Essentially, there's no evidence that this is a causal effect of attractiveness on sentencing, and there are many alternative explanations available. So do an RCT please.

This was an interesting read. I'm a priori skeptical of the claim that choice of method is actually all that important, but the article did at least try to provide support: "researchers estimate there's a percentage of kids —

I'm finding with secret GPT-3 output that I often find it boring before realizing it's GPT-3. I might even be getting to recognize its wordy, dull, cliche-ridden, borderline-nonsensical style. It's remarkably good at passing

Are the results actually good? Table 2 reports 3.40 bits/dim on CIFAR-10, but PixelRNN in 2016 got 3.06 bits/dim (Table 3 in https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.06759 ). I would like to compare the MNIST results also b

I don't blame them for posting a dodgy preprint (that's what preprints are for) but I do blame them for going on a press blitz for their dodgy preprint. It's not a responsible way to use their platform.

South Korea is a good model to follow but they were well-prepared, so it's not simple to copy. How they could test so early: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1237058531410489345.html How they can test so many:
