I recorded two takes with exact same settings except one was ISO ~1500 and the other ISO ~3000. Shouldn't the second take be around twice as bright as the first one? The change in brightness is hardly noticeable. I suppose this is the

For those wondering how they could fill the entire frame with the LED when the webcam was 16 meters away: the webcam had 25x optical zoom.

I wonder how the camera was calibrated in terms of white balance (if at all). I have this idea to implement in my house: a sensor that would measure temperature of the light outside and set the lights inside to the same temperature. Getting

This is really cool! I wish the accompanying article was longer. I can't fully grasp how it was done because I don't know enough about the concepts mentioned.

Instead of grinding away over a piece of code, I will get to talk to people more? Doesn't sound like such a bad deal to me. I get your point, of course. I just think communication can be like a craft, challenging and rewarding. I try t

I'm pretty sure every person who says "branches are nothing but refs" understands why they are called branches. They just want you (and others) to learn. This is an important piece of puzzle that many people miss. Would you s

Related: I recently opened a link from Outlook on Android. It asked me which browser to choose: Chrome or Edge. I didn't even have Edge installed on my device. The promot seemed to try to look like Android system prompt, but it suggest

Don't managers have enough work on their plate already? Looking at my past and current worplaces (granted, none of them are Meta), I can't imagine juggling individual contributions and managerial responsibilities. Personally, I th

I don't like any policies based on gender or skin color. I also don't like that my gender and skin color determine how OK it is for me to say that.

Does anyone know about any privacy guarantees with the Plus tier? I would use ChatGPT more in my day-to-day programming tasks but I don't really feel comfortable putting proprietary code into an OpenAI-owned service.

What is your standard for a "credible" reason? What should the parent comment's claim be based on? The last paragraph of your comment is hard for me to understand.

Trying to make an academic article dashboard for personal use. Something that would let me select a couple of academic journals and display latest papers published in them, along with abstracts. I can't even find a free API to reliably

The technology is really cool and I'm glad there are people doing such work and sharing it with others. Personally I am not a fan of the way the project is presented, though.

I wonder whether baking in the inequality of Internet access is worse than baking in the characteristics of the subset of humans that took the specific test. Not that it necessarily translates to higher data quality, but I believe the forme

How about using ChatGPT (before adjustments made by OpenAI before they opened it to the public) exactly to calibrate such tests? Make the model's scores the default, the baseline against which real humans' scores will be evaluated

A bigger bed with a harder mattress. It's silly I spend around 1/3 of my life there and hadn't thought to improve it for several years before that.

Not sure I understand your point. Should I try to build my own car? Or my own CPU?

It's like the seat heater in a BMW or high performance mode in a Mercedes. How can we fight it as consumers?

Maybe it's better to assume the best of people? Maybe we are just changing our minds in light of new facts rather than remaining "devotees"?

I think your perspective might change once you have kids (forgive me for assuming you don't yet). That additional hour or two a day that you can spend with your family might end up being worth more to you than the prospects of social l

What about the idea that, as a customer who bought and owns something, you should have control over that thing, not the other way around? I am not saying this is the stronger argument. It's still an argument, though, and it surprised m

When I imagine starting to learn C# right now, I think I would need to: - install the newest Visual Studio with default config - create a new console app project - start writing code in the template's main function Granted, I have to k

What worries me is that, apparently, there are many people with a lot of web dev experience who haven't moved on. Why haven't they moved on? I don't understand it. I have yet to see a mid-level engineer using the same method
