This is cap. I worked on heads up glasses, and one of our issues was the lack of integration with Apple's iMessage ecosystem. Device makers are willing to go through several security measures, like deploying the MFi chips and certifica

While the folks you mentioned advanced deep learning techniques, Fei-Fei Li transformed computer vision by creating ImageNet, which fuelled progress in the computer vision field. Beyond that, she’s been a champion of ethical, human-centered

The first guess was shockingly spot on. Tried it again and it thought I was English. Tried it again and it thought I was Dutch. First guess was right though.

I didn't know Orthodox Christians prostrated in their prayer much less use prayer rugs. Curious where this practice remains today.

I vividly remember this incident and more like it. I was coached by my manager to never reply all to an email addressed to a larger distribution group because of this exact reason. Not only were you annoying people, but everyone's emai

I disagree with the unbiased part of the comment. IMO all social medias, whether it's Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok - they are all heavily censored and their algorithm is tipped in a direction that optimizes attention, click throughs,

This is what I initially thought, however, I have already witnessed working demoes of 3DGS when using a single viewpoint, but armed with additional auxiliary data that is contextual relevant to the subject.

I learned about 3D Gaussian Splatting from the research team at work just 2 weeks ago, and they demoed some incredible use cases. This tech will definitely become mainstream in camera technologies.

This is exactly how Cortana and Google Assistant have been built as well.

IMO Alexa is just a bad product, which Amazon thought scale scale scale instead of finding value and product market fit. So many things that it does is better than predecessors, but overall is subpar and didn't get better over time. Ex

I have 15 YOE and today I make what I did when I was in Year 2. I have the same employer as Year 2, but I relocated from US, PNW to Canada, Ontario. This resulted in a drastic reduction in pay. After taxes, I make 42% less than what I made

I used to think the trades is where the money is. I've met so many plumbers, AC repairmen, general contractors, firealarm installers - who are really doing well for themselves. Then just the other day there was a Reddit thread about la

What a wonderful lecture. Thank you for sharing. What a treat to be able to consume such high quality knowledge for free online.

I haven't looked into this, just responding intuitively, but aren't we trained to learn better by writing by hand because of our upbringing. If the next generation stops hand writing and starts typing from early childhood educatio

I see your point. I too have been asked to do something unexpected around end of day that ends up taking the night. Over the years, I have learned to say no. It was difficult to learn, but now people understand how to work with me. You&#x27

Nothing irks me more about the productivity space than the first use case on the blog post: "Imagine you’re a financial analyst and you get an email at 5 PM from your boss asking for a presentation on Q3 performance by 8 AM tomorrow —

Makes sense. I think my framing would make sense if it said platform-generated content. Network per your framing makes more sense.

My take on this was user generated content = content generated by people you follow vs network generated content = content generated by people that you don't follow that the network recommends to you. There's a huge difference bet

Spoke to a few farmer friends. They tell me that large scale operations are very technically complex and have many digital systems deployed for remote management. That being said, a lot of the numbers here seemed to be miss reported. This s

This is an incredibly click bait article by gifted journalists. Most of these folks are fine and still have similar core priorities. Also there are multiple other responsible AI teams in MS. I have extreme empathy for those impacted, but th

Living the car-free life in Seattle is depressing due to gloomy weather. Life in Seattle is great if you accept the grey and live outdoors as much as possible. For that you need a car.

As of late I keep hearing/reading/seeing that the original author of Terminator and the Matrix is Sophia Stewart. It seems even the FBI ruled in her favor, yet both wikipedia pages have not mentioned her at all. Is this a case of

To clarify: did you mean HW update? For instance, I can't imagine a software update changing my battery chemistry from Lithium Ion to Nickel Cadmium.

Snap will continue having an existential crisis as long as their platform is dependent on companies like Apple and Google. They are a camera company, and they need to use their expertise to beat Apple at the camera game, which is no easy ta

It certainly looks like this from the outside. The establishment has always kept control over Pakistan even when such social change was in the air. I expect the same to happen. Also I'm expecting IK to start dialling it back given the

Holy, while in Toronto I set the thermostat to 68 and complain if I see it cross into the 70s. Thanks to the wind tunnel I'm in, I'm able to turn off the AC every 2-3 days for 1-2 days. Conventional wisdom tells me this is more co

Title is click bait. Coke Studio has done this several times. Mainstream Pakistani songs are quite different from Indian songs, however, both populations can understand what is being sung. Mixing the two together results in incredible music
