It sounds great on the label, but what you’ll end up with are single-use matchers for almost every line of your cukes, annoyance maintaining the regexes that map your cukes to the actual test implementation, and the “non-technical” people w

I’m not saying it won’t, but the entire premise of World is to “authenticate humans online.” Once LLMs have made the dead internet theory a reality, another one of Altman’s companies can provide the solution: only trust content that is auth

Would it be cynical to think World(coin) is the answer?

In fact I have. I grew up in the 1990s evangelical movement, deeply within the culture, home schooled, pro-life rallies, had 10+ kids, women wore denim dresses, etc. Those people. They were hot and ready to ban anything they could get their

Evangelicals presumably don’t want their children to be influenced by the environment that having those materials present would foster. They’d much rather have their children influenced by real-life sexual predators present within their chu

It’s already a thing in some cameras. New Leicas will embed a cryptographic signature in the photo.

Even being aware of all that, I don't feel I've been defrauded. I don't have to carry around a wad of cash that can be lost or stolen, and on the rare occasions that I need to I can get the help of the credit card company in

Exactly. It sounds like this test is working as expected based on the comments here. "Honest" might mean telling your coworker that their code sucks and you could do it better if they would just get out of your way. Tactful and po

As an interviewer it's too hard to tell if a candidate was indeed a victim of circumstance, like an acquisition that turned into a shitty job, or if they are just a disgruntled malcontent who will also be disgruntled and malcontent at

I’m also sure that it won’t be made illegal but I don’t share the cynicism. Google ‘losing’ the record of their training data would be conspiracy to commit copyright fraud, and AI trained overseas that violated copyrights could be banned fr

As they say about OOP, everything is somewhere else. The only part of inheritance I’ve ever found useful is allowing objects to conform to a certain interface so that they can fulfill a role needed by a generic function. I’ve always preferr

Coming from Ruby, Flask is much more of a Sinatra than a Rails. It’s very batteries-not-included. You basically just get routing out of the box. DB ORM, forms, auth, mail, background task, etc. are all DIY. That said, there are high quality

Interior and exterior design are applications of art/design, not reasons. The other three things are human experiences. I’m not saying a human cannot create art using gen AI. In fact, whoever thought of making Gemini generate a “17th c

The entire point of art is about human experience. If we’re really going to automate humans out of art (I don’t believe we will), and you really just want to look at some AI pictures that you like, why stop there? Why don’t we just go strai

In order to project the rays into the voxel grid and have them intersect when they are projecting the same object, the cameras do need to be calibrated. This is very much multi-view stereo CV. I’d guess that he’s taking nighttime photos and

You need a lot more than one reference though. At minimum I think you need 8 correspondences to solve for the camera’s pose. Things like airplanes could work if you had enough of them, but then the imagery in all your cameras would have to

He didn’t go into detail on how the cameras are calibrated by I wonder if he’s using stars to do that or what. Standard SfM would struggle with such featureless images and wide baseline.

Maybe it's different on the desktop, but on the iPhone it only detects the same photo that may have been saved at different resolutions or things like that. That's useful, but I really want something that can say use an embedding

Sometimes I wish there was a feasible system to audit and reduce redundant photos in my iCloud. I have an embarassing ton of pictures that I never look at just like everyone else. I wouldn’t mind a tool that said “here’s 10^x photos that ar

In other words, it would make the business model of running a marketplace that sells dangerous junk from alibaba less profitable. Say more.
