I always agree with your statement when people discuss it from a purely theoretical philosophical/moral standpoint. But when it actually happens to you, as I have been violently mugged several times. Oh, would I push that button - pull

Yeah it triggers for me when I'm on the tube, ahahahaa. But I would rather it do that than my phone still be unlocked after being mugged or scooter thieves'd'd. I've also ensured I switch to esim so that they can't

Isn't that therefore a benchmark specifically on "it can generate an SVG of this exact thing" and naught else?

Because it's harder to fire managers. And even harder to fire executives. Who goes when companies need to downsize? Rarely executives; they'll always find a way to be retained...hell, they're the ones with the power to decide

What I find interesting, though, is how the "feature" isn't really exciting anymore, or because it creates SVGs that aren't "perfect" that we maybe feel underwhelmed sometimes (at least I do). However thinking

Never seen Taalas? Let alone a decent sized model on a couple 4090s or similar, pretty gud t/s to churn out tts/stt/response/control model actions and emotes.

Lmao, really? England has famously been judged for its industrial colonisation, even if it was still in an era where _everyone_ was colonising _everyone_. Interesting how Genghis Khan got away with it, to most he's now just a "bad

This is definitely something I've always thought about doing once I retire (if my generation gets to retire). Just seems like the ideal way to spend the last period of your life; quietly making the small mechanical pieces and hopefully

Why? Many modern watch parts are CNC machined, often the finishing is done by hand such as zaratsu polishing - but even that is a repetitive motion that can be mechanised. I would not be surprised if given enough time even what we have toda

But it's not hard to OCR? And I don't know why the article dedicates an entire section to it. On a Samsung S24U I held down the "circle to search" homescreen button which brings up the AI tools interface (I don't kn

Not really odd. Sure you can get the same with a Google search but all of the attention is on AI atm so you don't expect it to be unfairly judged? Humans aren't like that lmao. We're reactionary, tribal animals.

So damned if you do, damned if you don't, right? I can totally get the "don't tell people to kill themselves" aspect of these models, but certain parts of the Internet have been telling people that for decades. Certainly

Not to mention missing out on new features like Roborock's rover, etc. That's not gonna come to anything DIY (well DIY from a kit...is that _really_ DIY) any time soon.

And also quality. I wouldn't think that the copy of some movie Netflix is streaming to me will be 60-100GB over the duration of the movie. Not to mention when their services have issues and you're watching 5-10 minutes of low qual

Millennials never spent like >6-8 hours a day on phones doing nothing productive. Yes, as adults we now spend loads of time in our places of work on devices but generally in the pursuits of doing productive things. And while I haven'

I mean I believe in protecting your company's IP, but IP and patent law is absurd these days, designed to protect investors and their fake money rather than actual inventors (who usually get no proceeds/are shafted). They trained

Yes, for actresses _and_ actors I'm sure you'd get the same level of performance as you would for any facial recognition use case. You can't do facial recognition on someone's back, but I'm sure there are other tech

If only because we're too apathetic to make laws and enforce punishments for the rich and powerful. People have always been able to be spied on. But then I watch people speed all the time and it seems to be a common human behaviour to
