The gulf stream doesn't create heat, it just moves it. If it doesn't move as much heat, then the destination will get colder and presumably the source will get warmer.

My understanding is that AMOC collapse is not gulf stream collapse. The gulf stream will still exist, but will just be weaker.

By my understanding, demosaicing almost always just "blurs" the photo slightly, reducing high-frequency information. Tone mapping is unavoidable, invisible to most people, and usually doesn't change the semantic information w

I find it kinda scary that this is marketed as "zoom" and "recovering details", when the reality is that it quite literally makes stuff up and hopes you won't notice the difference. You and I know that it's com

The hypothetical I'm imagining is that the trucks/trains going into a port go through something like a strip photography [0] x-ray machine, which doesn't need the vehicle to even stop at all. Some barcode/QR code on the

With all the technology that exists today, I'm surprised that we haven't invented something that would make it logistically and economically feasible to do a quick scan of e.g. all containers going into a port.

TFA mentions the most important points, which are that Palantir doesn't provide any data or act on any data.

I know this is just arguing semantics, but wouldn't you call it a unified system since it has a single interface that automatically interacts with different components? It's not a unified model , but it seems correct to call it a

Yeah, and even with sharpening it's noticeably softer when you zoom in on the photo. For fisheye, I guess it would have been more accurate to say: the perspective distortion is present in both photos and is stronger for the iphone phot

My only significant gripe with phone cameras is that they oversharpen everything. Sharpening can subjectively make things look better as long as you don't zoom in too much, but has one significant problem: desaturation . In high-detai

My rule of thumb is: keep all business logic in UTC, and convert from/to local time as close to the UI as possible

Also, doesn't a null result mean "we weren't able to measure an effect" rather than "there is no effect"? That's a pretty big difference in how important something is.

and along the same lines, how good is the fraud prevention, detection, and recovery?

It seems like it's specifically based on nvidia's sales, which I assume almost entirely for deep learning. "Regular" data centers don't need many GPUs.

For long term memory, LLMs can learn new information by training on it. It would need a lot of training data, but it will get there eventually. For short term memory, they can store information in their context window. Yes the context windo

Adjusted for inflation and exchange rate, it would be $18,000/yr. That plus my savings and investments is enough that I'd value marginal time over marginal money.

Do you think an average human from 1850 transported to the modern world would fare better than an LLM?

I'm sure there is already much discussion about this, but I feel like basic income pilots will never show the true impact. Someone who knows they'll have guaranteed income for the rest of their life is more likely to stop working

Yeah, it's a game that's very easy to bounce off of. The first few hours can feel like a slog until you familiarize yourself with each scene enough to have a direction in your search rather than just wandering randomly.

It was structured a little oddly so it took a reread to understand, but I believe the wrong story was from the Vancouver Province, while the right story was from Davidson's letter in the St. Thomas Daily Times.

If you liked this story, you might like the game Return of the Obra Dinn, which is kinda just this but for ~60 different people on a fictional ship.

Is anyone else bothered by hyperspecific products like this? 95% of what it does can also be done by scissors for 5% of the price and 10x the lifespan.
