I think GP's point is that is not about the perceived value of real time data/analytics, but rather, its actual value. Decision makers may ask for RT or NRT, but most of the time won't make a decision or action in a timeframe

Time to go read all tropes in TVTropes and become a trope patent troll.

Yes, you're right. 90s-early 2000s/boomer shooters have different levels of "map complexity" ranging from open pseudo-flat landscapes or big rooms ala Serious Sam (afair, I haven't played one in years) with tons of

No plot or progression and just endless shooting? That's almost some kind of meditation for me and other people. Both the resurgence of "boomer shooters" (at least in PC) and by extension the recent remastering of both Q1&#x2

Great summary. Just wanted to say that the Q2 OST (at least the base game) was made by Sonic Mayhem while the Q1 one was made by NIN. Both are great OSTs, Q1 is a "ambient-horror-esque" styled album [1] while Q2 OST [2] is practi

Unless I'm working in an academic project I couldn't care less about elegancy. Speed (and ergo costs) trumps elegancy in industrial settings imho, specially considering how expensive to run LLMs are. Such an OSS dependency can be

~3% adoption in days? I wish I saw those numbers in the "cross-enrolment" ventures I work on, even if the resulting users are not active. And I'm talking about rolling new features, not expecting users to download another app

Apart from its quirks Excel is fine, if you know its limitations. I think the real warning sign would be an analyst/programmer working with Excel and expecting high precision results.

Isn't "societies forking based upon curation of their training data" practically what culture is? Now, I agree that having scalable generative AI and high-throughput-high-virality mass media (social networks) brings new unspe

This. I don't think people lower their thresholds for applying critical thinking / fact checking just because it is an LLM's answer. If someone blindly trusts and uses an LLM without checking for more evidence, then they woul

Assuming Vision Pro has powerful sensors and computer platform, controllers could be dumber and then easier to make (and eventually part of a bigger ecosystem that may extend the Vision Pro with 3rd party hardware).

Countries controlling/spying through national companies is an already legitimatelly dubious activity but possible depending on said countries laws. Extending that to international offices is kind of a big no-no, specially between two s

It appears to mark anything remotely related to "destruction" as restricted content. Or rather, you can clean a phrase by using the word "saint". Won't work: How should a demolitions expert expect to be treated by a

That's a meme in politics, the words in party names have nothing to do with the ideas they commonly represent. Names in this space just work according to the "laws" of marketing.

Have you seen how the outputs of image generation tools evolved during mere 2-3 years? It went from the stuff of nightmares to actually pasable and consumable images pretty fast.

This was published here in HN last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35810663 Don't know if there any public technical reports by any of the big AI companies about this, as its pretty new.

This, if you want to go the dynamic SQL route, please do it using some decent glue language or templating system that is not SQL itself. Unless you hate yourself that is.

I think that it depends on what journal we are talking about. Most of them have some biases in their processes, just as HN commenters also do.

Isn't the performance (as in the capacity of retrieval, not performance as compute/memory usage) of kNN mostly given by the quality of the vectors/embeddings themselves? Most vector DBs use (at least) some kind of KNN anyways

If some kind of facial recognition algorithm/model can use worse inputs to "do better than humans" in some task (i.e. try to recognize between twins using a downscaled image from a 720p laptop camera) more often than not focu

AFAIK other NeRF methods don't let you use HDR data, just LDR images, so you would have to pre-process your HDR photos (tone-mapping) and you wouldn't be able to control exposure afterwards as previous necessary information for do

Wouldn't say math loses usefulness after trig. But rather, due to how it is (usually, my experience being in Chile) teached it rapidly becomes too abstract, decouples from its "real world" use cases and then it is easy to for

Hah, that sounds like typical human hubris. To think that we as humans can control the complexity of Earth when we barely control ourselves. PS: Not suggesting anything about climate change, I'm just amused the comment parent makes.

I'm not judging. I'm grateful of Alphabet/Google and that its research is being extremely useful in AI/ML, just saying shareholders may not think that way.

The whole point is that all the progress you mention is worth peanuts to Google's shareholders. Hence this decision and blog post about it. If anything it allowed competitors to raise above Google. PS: Not saying Deepmind's resear

I don't know if said bureaucracy is a blessing or a curse given Google's track record in product management. If pressed I would bet towards the curse option.
