It's not really up to models to decide what their pictures gets used for though. Why should this be different? From what I gather it's not because she's uncomfortable with it being used, it's because of controversy other

I don't know if there's any work being done on this, but I wish ffmpeg had better support for modern ML based filters, like super resolution, frame interpolation, segmentation, automatic subtitles, etc. There was an ml filter made

One of my pet peeves is when I zoom in to a 3D model and the rotation is somewhere far off screen, most of the time the model center. It makes it very difficult to orient yourself when rotation also moves what I was looking at off screen.

February 20 2014. What exactly do you think this war is about? Do you think Russia has made the world safer since then? Do you think Crimea or Donbass belongs to Russia? Do you think Kiev is full of neonazis that only a Russian special mil

What a ridiculous "take", who argued that anyone would be safer by leveling their country with artillery or committing 50 000 war crimes? Raping, torture, and looting is good for the safety of the world? Are there other countries

I googled "how many nuclear weapons does the us have" and Google suggested a number slightly below 5500. I don't think the exact number matters much though, what can you do with 5000 that you can't do with 500 or even 50

I do wonder where we would be right now if Russia didn't invade Ukraine. Would the world be safer?

SYCL uses SPIR-V. Hopefully AMD doesn't introduce a proprietary format but uses an open standard. It would be amazing to be able to run the same code on AMD, Nvidia, and Intel, both current and future hardware, without recompiling.

There's a lot of talk about ML in general, and training in particular, when talking about GPGPU. But it's a very performant resource for various other productivity work as well. Meshroom (photogrammetry) needs Cuda for high quali

I took a shot at this. If you assume flat terrain between you and the base of the building, the problem can be simplified to basically the distance to the building from your current position times the tangent of the angle from the horizonta

I've heard that Google have models at least as good as the competition, but they're not using them in production because of scale. Don't know if it's true, but it sounds reasonable. Running inference that uses a lot of c

Don't be so sure. Trump wants to "end the war" by cutting off help to Ukraine and force them to "negotiate" with Russia, i.e. surrender their territory. Orban is making things harder than necessary for EU to show a

I think it's closer to 14%, no? 449 million out of 3166 million total. How much does each of those ad-supported users cost each month? Those 295 million users account for as much revenue as 34 million premium users, but they probably c

For some reason I'm getting scroll bars on some of the text fields in Firefox[0]. It's not just your site, I notice them on other sites as well like on Reddit[1], so maybe the fault lies with Firefox or even just my installation.
