I am in a similar situation and have asked myself this. On the other hand, I think from an international peace and cultural exchange perspective, being able to live and integrate into other countries and cultures is very important. So many

Or you take a single picture of a group in front of a monument, but cut it off. As I understand it you could find pictures of the monument online, run the model, and have a picture with the group and the entire monument. Probably google can

Clearly the move is to put all AMD and Intel engineers on the inside of the circle. That way they would be visible from all locations on the ring at all times.

This sounds exactly like the argument that killed WebSQL in 2010: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_SQL_Database I am still salty about this, as WebSQL would have made it much easier to build a certain class of web app

E-ink displays... After seeing the OLPC I expected every display would soon have the same properties of eye-strain-reduction, legibility in the sun, angle indifference and low power consumption. Yet here we are - while there does seem to be

Same here... I also realize that over time I learn to predict what the top comment will be on certain topics. For example, in the AITA subreddit, I will always form my own opinion that is then "tested" by reading the most popular

I believe attracting AI talent could also be an important motivation. Many AI researchers may appreciate the open nature of their work, and having world-class AI researchers could be very important strategically for Meta.

While this is true to some extent, companies also play a major role at shaping the desires of the public, through advertising and lobbying etc. Look for example at the enormous impact of the car lobby on American cities, leading to much mor

Fascinating! Reminds me how machine learning as a field is often focused on tasks that can be quantitatively evaluated using large datasets. There are a lot of tasks that do not fit this model, especially interactive tasks.

I see your point. But I do not think the burden to use alternatives matter - the fact is that people are using tiktok to express themselves in a protected manner, which means that restricting it is a free speech issue. Further, the tools an

I am not sure. Billboards are mostly used for ads, so that seems less relevant from a freedom of speech view. But if billboards were systematically used to share political ideas and criticize the government, and as a response the government

Some people like to express themselves via posting videos to tiktok. If the government bans tiktok, these people are no longer able to express themselves in this manner, i.e. their freedom of speech has been limited. Likewise, as a consumer

I always find the discrepancy between drugs and chemicals odd. Drugs require years of research to prove that they are safe, whereas chemicals can seemingly be put into the environment as long as they are not proven to cause harm, and even t

Agreed! Most car aesthetics are so safe and uniform. A part of me is happy that we are finally getting tech that looks like the what people in the 80s thought the future would look like. Next, flying cars?

I think you misunderstand. As I understand it, the WGA is very open to _writers_ using AI to help them in their work. The risk that the WGA is protecting their members against here is specifically a situation where a _studio_ uses an AI sys

Hmmm I am not sure the title matches the content of the article. As far as I can tell the WGA is quite open to writers using AI as a helpful writing Tool. What they are trying to limit is studios using AI as a tool to screw over writers. Fo
