I've never been a fan of classic portraits of people, but by way of watching a lot of Baumgartner restoration videos it's become an interest. A lot apparently goes into establishing the authenticity of portraits. As a conservator,

Where I fall on this is. "What is the tool for?" I still default to nano in the terminal for basic editing. Him and eMacs are entire ecosystems when all I need is a chisel. In the general sense, notepad and TextEdit should just be

A scientific instrument that is unreliably accurate is useless. Imagine a kitchen scale that always gave +/- 50% every 3rd time you use it. Or maybe 5th time. Or 2nd. So we're trying to use tools like this currently to help solve

I'm a senior engineer with 20 years of experience and mostly find all of the AI bs for the last couple of years to be occasionally helpful for general stuff but absolutely incompetent when I need help mildly complicated tasks. I did ha

No AI please for the love of the spaghetti monster. I'm so sick of having this shit shoveled into anything I'm trying to do these days. Disabling Siri all these years was bad enough. So far Apple has kept it as a toggle in the set

Ok. What were the questions? What were your answers? What was the eureka moment? Details are important.

This sounds like "first internet job" kind of experience. Would love to hear how you got the job and any other stories you have to share. My first was 1999 in Florida. Dude had a shop selling jewelry on eBay. His autistic brother

Your comment isn't specifying what 25% doesn't have access. If you mean China being 1/4 the current human population that could be true you need to be more specific.

Thank you for calling this out. I noticed the same thing over the last few days but didn't recall the specific places I'd seen the topic popping up.

Keep walking into a glass door a few dozen times. Is the door a reality even though you can't see it, or just a conceptual framework you keep bouncing off of? At some point you have to stop thinking in your head why you can't walk

Consciousness is not philosophy. In the past, it was. People didn't have the tools or theoretic background to even approach it in an empiric way. However we now have at least the basics to hypothesize and perform experiments. So it&#x2

This is a philosophical argument, therefore dismissible by science. Unless you can rephrase your argument as something testable, it's philosophy and thereby not relevant.

Again, show your evidence. You make a polite but still ad hominem "attack" about me instead of addressing my points with demonstrations of evidence. Make a video or blog article actually showing how your use of LLMs in coding is m

It's not "good enough", it's mostly overhyped marketing garbage. LLM models are mostly as good as they're going to get. It's a limitation of the technology. It's impressive at what has been done, but that&

All I hear is anecdotal statements from people claiming LLMs have made them some percent more productive. Yet few actually say how or demonstrate it. For the last year, I've tried all sorts of models both as hosted services and running

For iOS, turn on do not disturb. Also turn off Siri and "Apple intelligence". Set Messages to Focus. Turn off Send Read Receipts. Also turn on Filter Unknown Senders. Install and enable Hiya or similar for calls. Adjust your no

Amazing. Yet another overly specialized mobile website. Can't read the article because every few seconds it just scrolls back to the top. I miss the days of html and little js. CssZenGarden always had it right. That's where I lear

I think you just nailed why I have been having a hard time with my photo set. It's the lighting. Well crap, because I don't have access to the statue or studio again. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I am explicitly asking about meshes, which is why I said that and also referenced photogrammetry. Sometimes people know what they're asking for help with. Thanks for the links. Going to check them out this morning.

Yeah some very impressive stuff with splats going on. But I haven't seen much about going from splats to high quality 3D meshes. I've tried one or two with pretty poor results.

by geuis 2y ago
Question related to 3D mesh models in general: has any significant work been done on models oriented towards photogrammetry? Case in point, I have a series of photos (48) that capture a small statue. The photos are high quality, the object

I know what you're referring to. However there's no ability on iOS to control this behavior.

Momentum. Heavy objects in motion have inertia. Oddly works in a similar fashion with software projects. 20+ years of OSS contributions and Matt leading the project is a LOT of inertia. You can fork the project right now yourself, but until
