The latency is unfortunately bad enough that it prevents me from getting any depth illusion :( I've seen other implementations where it works really well though.

How are you doing tens of millions of faces per second per core, first of all assuming a 5ghz processor, that gives you 500 cycles per image if you do ten million a second, that's not nearly enough to do anything image related. Second

I won't comment on topical collagen as there is indeed reasons why it may work but we can be pretty sure oral supplementation is unnecessary, since it is just a protein, so if you get sufficient protein intakes (of the respective amino

Yes, you can always stream data when training or doing inference on models when vram is lacking but the slow down is extremely noticeable. This is the case for CPU code too and is why optimising for bandwidth is so critical in high-performa

You could but it would be significantly worse than fine-tuning or RAG with a pre-trained model, or using a smaller model since your dataset would be so small.

W.l gore and similar companies are excellent examples, of goretex fame and other chemicals. Super interesting management structure called open allocation which is exactly this, employees get to choose what they work on. Valve is similar but

This is on one hand quite the fantastic idea, but I imagine it falls down to bureaucracy, for example for health services related stuff everyone would need pretty thorough training in the legal aspects, and insurance might be difficult, and

Yeh, I could imagine GDS (government digital services) having the capability, but not NHS digital whose remit this would likely fall under. They just don't have the resources or experience.

The worst part of all this is even respectable news organisations like the BBC publish so many articles that are just the companies PR response verbatim. Even worse when it's like - victim says hi, this thing is messed up and people ne

Avoiding the problem altogether is just throwing up your hands and saying "this is too hard so I'm not going to even try". We already know there is some way to do it because researchers do salami slicing where they take one p

I've said this many times but I'll say it again. The FT is not some single opinion org. It has many writers and many editors of various opinions. The FT itself does not take any angle, only it's writers and editors, who can h

I'm not refering to junk papers by quantity, but that not all papers at the same venue are equal, and some fields take longer. For example a logic/programming-language paper often takes much longer to theorize than an AI paper. Ev

Damn that's worse than I thought it would be. Citing non white-british ethnic groups as non-native is worrying. Especially to try use it as an anti-immigrant statement, when plenty of those are going to be third generation at the least

I think as jeffbee said below it's not even the custom ARM cores, but rather Apple's ability to control not only the hardware but the software on-top of it. In a typical Windows machine you are dealing with your CPU and microcode

One annoying thing is you'd expect a company the size of microsoft to have an agreement for extended support. For example ubuntu 20.04 is no longer available as a runner on github actions as support ended in May of 2025, but extended s

Median pay for a dev in London is about £60-65k(a out $87,000). This isn't that high given the cost of living in the city, with your average shared flat with a few roommates going at about £1k a month nowadays. Add in that you'll

This used to be the case, but now with IR35 rules you are generally treated as an employee for tax purposes not a business, which heavily complicates the situation. This in turn brought down expected rates to the point where most would rath
