It’s lenticular but with 100 different possible angles, so there’s no eye tracking needed and it works with multiple viewers. The tradeoff is it seems you need to pump a lot of data in for all those views, and you probably need a pretty hig

I don't think it's entirely an architecture problem, there's a huge training set problem. Almost all the content you would train on assumes outside knowledge/facts, so the llm learns to store these in the model in order

Making an excellent game isn't even enough these days, that's just table stakes. With so many games out there it's a market of lemons. You need to have a way of rising above the noise. For AAA, it's having budgets to mak

That article about the golden ratio lost me with that horribly cropped image. It ignores all the things that actually matter when composing and cropping a shot, and gives some absurd advice that will actively lead people astray. The end res

They closed the ticket 12 minutes after that comment. It seems unlikely a coincidence. If someone wanted a reason to shut this down that comment gave them all the ammunition they needed. Don't forget, Google is not a singular entity an

To me (As an outside observer) the reason for the status change seemed pretty clear. There was no activity on the issue for a month and a half, and then someone made a new comment that personally attacked a google employee by name as a bad

I think the failures of iPadOS are really illuminating about the contrasting strengths of closed top-down design vs open stochastic exploration. Apple loves to craft an experience, and this design approach is great at taking large steps to

Yeah, I think this is a real possibility. Even without full-blown therapy, just building up people's confidence can end up helping with setting healthy habits and creating new opportunities for real life connection.

Yeah, this annoyed me about the paper. Clearly there are significant visual issues with patterns forming, but they just hand wave it away and basically say "according to all these common quality metrics, this method is superior".

The WHOLE point of the ad in the first place was to make people feel strong positive emotions toward Apple products. It turns out they misjudged and for many people it didn’t evoke the type of emotions they thought it would. It’s not like p

Why get so bothered by other people being upset? Apple is going to be fine, you don’t need to worry on their behalf. No need to get your undergarments of choice in a twist. Good opportunity to step outside and get some fresh air.

If you trained an image generator, removing all instances of zebras from the training set, you could ask it to output images of a black and white striped horse and it would likely succeed. Then you could fine tune an image recognition model

Placement within all steam games is not really a useful metric, there is an extremely long tail of games on steam that make basically nothing.

Your question doesn’t make sense if you read it directly, why are you asking which door to pick if you already know the door? It’s what you call a “trick” question, something humans are also bad at. It’s equally plausible (and arguably more

Ironically, by linking to it you’ve probably vastly boosted it’s rank on Google.

This is not two citizens having a private conversation. These are actions and conversations taken on behalf of a corporation. Corporations are given tons of privileges, but in exchange they have additional responsibilities that individuals

by dwallin 2y ago
Maybe it would be more accurate to say that the structure of a public corporation is inherently (and imo, intentionally) amoral? A defining characteristic of modern capitalism is the widespread laundering of responsibility.

Yeah, I think this link and title would be a better entry point into the topic.

I think you would be surprised about how much of a performance hit that would be over existing state of the art. The thing you are missing is that the human visual system evaluates existence of spaces in parallel, a single threaded algorith

Yeah this is the wrinkle. I do wonder though, whether there might be a situation reversal effect if you moved far enough in the other direction. If you instead had handoffs extremely frequently, say for example, every 6 hours, or perhaps a

I'd be curious to see how many studies controlled for relative emotional value of money, eg. by looking for differences in behavior for all groups at various values. One could hypothesize that people might be more willing to share an u

Of course we have higher Disposable Income in the US, it's a useless metric for these sorts of comparison purposes as it includes expenditures for things like healthcare, which in most other places is paid for by taxes (aka. not part o

I really like this. I could see constructing a physical artifact for a specific case of this game. According to another comment, the best puzzle with a high number of 6 is [1,6,3] with a minimum of 14 moves. This would mean you have 6 total

You can make a physical version by having one fixed height pole for each integer up to the max, and then an equal number of post holes. Eg. If you wanted to support a game up to the integer 10 you would need 10 posts with lengths from 1 to

What is with people writing purposely flawed examples? If you want to convince a general audience that your approach is worth the additional cognitive overhead then compare it with code that is equivalently robust, not some low effort straw

I'll keep an eye out for that! The variations feature in Suno is a good example of what not to do here, as it effectively just makes another random iteration using existing settings. I think the other missing pieces I've found are

I think the problem here is the same one as the other current music generation services. Iteration is so important to creativity and right now you can't really properly iterate. In order to get the right song you just spray and pray an

I know you only implied it but be careful with causation here. We know that there are situations where the free-market does not lead to ideal outcomes. Does it not seem likely for government to involve itself more in areas where the free ma

A brief search came up with trains being around 15-20x safer than driving. As with many things it matters a lot how you count but it’s a pretty huge gap.
