There's a huge gap in uses where listenable, realistic voice is required, but the text to be spoken is not predetermined. Think AI agents, NPCs in dynamically generated games, etc. These things are currently not really doable with th

I went the 4090 route myself recently, and I feel like all should be warned - memory is a major bottleneck. For a lot of tasks, folks may get more mileage out of multiple 3090s if they can get them set up to run parallel. Still waiting on

I have a raft of podcasts that are specifically for those times when I want to be able to lose the thread; - Hey Riddle Riddle : Morning talk-radio vibes, but goofier. - The Past Times : Comedians reading old newspapers to each other. Su

Ohio has a reputation for being particularly rules-y, and it's not undeserved. Two points of anecdata, sourced from a cross country trip that took me through ohio: - we went to a beer garden at the end of a long day of driving (>12

Bluetooth remains my biggest gripe with my iphone. When I walk out of range of any connected device, my call switches from my headset to the phone, and I have to manually go in and reconnect to my headset every third or fourth time I want

It's gonna hurt me to say this because I'm one of those rabid lefty bust-up-the-corporations types, but the universe is a nuanced place so here it is; Whether Apple's practices are motivated by blocking competition or not (an

The phrasing was "welcoming to immigrants", not "welcoming to the ever shrinking definition of good immigrants established by a bunch of octogenarian plutocrats". "Illegal" is a concept - it's not conflati

What we need to do is construct systems that are robust against this kind of gaming and don't reward the gamers as heavily as ours does. The wealthiest people and companies on the planet pay a pittance of taxes, if any at all. We lavi

Cheers to you, good citizen. I wish more people started with such links rather than waiting for someone else to make it easy to have a discussion.

Hey now, there's a real lack of information in this tweet. Just a link to a paywalled article from a dodgy financial journal. This is the second time this has been referenced on the front page and I still don't know who they&#x27

"We've studied their language enough to get a good understanding. It seems the creatures on this planet created the source of their own undoing - a UX so well antialiased, so quickly rendered, that it shattered the planet."

Regex would really benefit from a comprehensive industrial standard. It's such a powerful tool that you have to keep relearning whenever you switch contexts.

While I agree with your point that knowing things matters, it is entirely possible with the current batch of LLMs to get to an answer you don't know much about. It's actually one of the few things they do reliably well. You start

I wonder what you'd get if you did something similar on the latent space in a diffusion model, before decoding to an image.

My first instinct was lobbying spend, but Amazon and Google show up in the top 20 and Equifax isn't on the list (although, I have my suspicions that the numbers here aren't necessarily the whole picture. Financial chicanery is a

I'd be willing to bet you could create a diffusion model to map unrefined meshes to UV-fixed and remeshed surfaces. If you had a large enough library of good meshes you just programmatically mess 'em up and use that as the datas

I may be speaking out of ignorance here, but couldn't you use photogrammetry techniques to translate these to a higher resolution mesh?

If it's not there yet, I'm willing to bet it will be soon enough given folks hacking it apart and injecting their own solutions.

Title is a little misleading. "Gas From Ice Cores Traces Population Fluctuations" would be more accurate. It's not actually about a moment when 56M people died, which the title suggests.

At the risk of exposing my pom-poms, it's not the writing of the code or the design of the systems that I find the current batch of AI useful for. Probably the biggest thing that GPT does for me these days is to replace google (which p

Perhaps supporting people's mental health ought not to be tied to having such a job. This issue exists as well for the unemployed and folks in sectors with a minimum of human contact, and we could probably do a lot of good for society

Take it you didn't read the article. The "Media" in "Media Manipulation", in this case, is like "a picture" or "a video", not "The Media" (as I also initially thought.) This is a set o

These days, what's the difference? It's not like the messages you get in your feed are much different from some-or-another nightly news. Mass-personalized algorithmic media is everywhere.
