I think several years back, AirBnb was cheaper than hotels (but they've gotten more expensive over time).

Similar to other comments here, I've tried Magic and was disappointed with the quality of work. Recently my business has been using https://hellopareto.com/ (no affiliation, just a satisfied customer).

I believe vergence accomodation can still be a problem, even if the focus is fixed at 60cm (close to infinity). If an object is up close in the virtual world (say 20cm), it's still stuck at a focus of 60cm. I believe Nvidia demoed a so

P2P, as in hosted from other people's phones? I think the issue is that people generally wouldn't be happy with P2P data uploads from their phones (compared to P2P on desktop, where internet is cheaper/faster, and battery isn

I think parent was referring to the definition of murder being "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another." Killing someone under lawful circumstances (such as self defense) is not murder, under this definiti

A interesting thing to explore would be to warp the stable diffusion output according to the rough 3D model of the painting (essentially an application of what the VR industry calls asynchronous reproduction).

Interesting project! One thing that isn't clear to me: how is the stable diffusion output displayed to the painter? Surely not through the VR headset (at such a low frame rate)?

This reminds me of a "re-circulating shower" concept I was looking into recently. By filtering and re-using shower water, it saves both water and heating energy. There is a company in Sweden doing this: https://orbital-

Speculation, but two causes could be: - Writing in a plaintext editor before copying into HN. - Using a third party HN client that only supports plaintext. For example, I imagine there might be at least a few people out there who might acce

A "mood board" of inspiration images could be an interesting input method. With deep vision models, we can already separate different "levels" of concepts: a high level subject ("person riding a horse"), textur

When I tried Geforce Now about a year ago, I preferred Stadia (useable on Chromecast, more seamless setup, good latency). I'll certainly concede that Geforce Now is better positioned going forward though!

I'm not aware of tensor shape type safety (in general) being widely used in deep learning, let alone sum-types. I believe Pytorch and TensorFlow lack support for tensor shape type checking (looks like there is a Pytorch issue open: ht

As a digital nomad, Stadia was far more portable than a traditional game console or PC, and I bought and played through a few full-length games. (I did understand that it was likely to get canned, though.) So- there's at least one real

I highly recommend https://course.fast.ai/ . It's much more top down: in the first lesson or two, you train a NN image classifier, rather than starting with first principles and linear algebra. I found this structure to

One of my friends works on an e-ink product. My understanding is that one of the major trade secrets are the e-ink waveforms (the sequence of voltages used to print and erase content on the display). They are shared under NDA and baked into

Someone who plays it "fast and loose" in terms of engineering (for example, deploying straight to prod). As parent mentions- this isn't necessarily a bad thing depending on the context (but "cowboy" here has a negat

You're right that getting music onto DSPs has been commoditized. Parent may have been referring to promotional deals (getting onto official Spotify playlists, Discover Weekly, etc) or special royalty rates. The major labels have tons o

I would guess a few days of training, but this will vary widely depending on the type of model and how much data you train on.

Another feature idea: be able to export videos with "focus pull" effect. I was editing a video earlier this week; would've been great to have a tool like this.

I also considered a Lettuce Grow (beautiful industrial design). Ultimately, I went with a Mr Stacky Smart Farm instead, which is significantly cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06VSHBNXS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bH..

Fovi3D ( http://www.fovi3d.com/ ) makes this kind of light-field display based on microlenses. One challenge here is the tradeoff between spatial and angular resolution. If you're generating a 4x4 lightfield starting wit

Isn't this just called a "public company"? (Not sure if your comment was tongue-in-cheek. If not, I'm genuinely unclear how this is different from the current situation.)

Would you mind commenting on which open-source algorithms you are using in your updated codebase? I'm very interested in hacking on a similar project, but I'd like to avoid using the Echo Nest if possible. Huge fan of your work! (
