I build art using an M1 Ultra with 20 cores. Many times a day, I have all cores running for 5-20 seconds at a time. I have also never heard a fan running in my Mac Studio. Having a single core that runs at a crazy speed but is cooled by som

I think AI-generated images are worse for training AI generative models than LLMs, since there are so many now on the internet (see Instagram art related hashtags if you want to see nothing but AI art) compared to the quantity of images dow

I found out I was barely in the diabetic range a couple of months ago; hopefully, with diet changes and Metformin, I will see my A1C at a better number in a month or so. Otherwise, I would like to try a CGM to see what I am missing.

All CGMs only work for a period of time, like a couple of weeks or so. Then you get a new one. To keep the size reasonable it can't be too big.

In the U.S., until this one, you needed a prescription to buy one. Many countries allow them to be purchased without.

I had a Lisa on my desk in late 1983, along with an Apple II and Apple III and later a PC/XT (not sure if that appeared before they took the Lisa away). The Lisa was for evaluation, so I wrote some reports with it but didn't get t

No details in the announcement, is it still pixel size in = pixel size out?

But they do own their own kitchen. I thought of moving to Berlin (from US) at one time, but the idea of an apartment not having a built-in kitchen is insane. Apparently, it is very common for the apartment to have an empty kitchen with noth

As a musician, I found the pieces unremarkable. Of course, a lot of contemporary music is forgettable as well, as people try to create songs that all sound like hits but, in doing so, create uninteresting songs. I wonder what music the mode

It's not like the history of working for game companies is unknown, major studios have always done this. Imagining it won't happen to you is wishful thinking. I worked for a small, poor game company once with a FPS MMO and it was

No one tests their apps on declared unsupported hardware. How would you identify potential unsupported-but-might-work hardware? It's not worth the cost. Still, it sounds like someone simply screwed up a compiler setting.

In this modern age where inventions are generally built on those who came before, it's hard to imagine how inventive this design was with so little prior history (and how crazy it was to fly at all). I wonder if the Wright brothers wou

I once worked for a company that stored all of its passwords for production servers and databases in a text file in the code repository, all because the chief architect didn't want to have to remember any passwords. Pointing out how st

If this is true, given their birth rate, they will have to change, or run out of people to do things.

OK, let's see it make full-sized videos first; making tiny demo videos is a long way from showing it at 4K. Also, let's see the entire paper and note how many computing resources were required to build the models. Until everyone c

Hudson Yards in NYC makes sense on paper for that size/density of a city, yet it's a financial failure. Something like this building in OKC makes zero sense to even start.

I have never flown Spirit due to being 6'5". 30 in seat pitch is anatomically the limit, and that hurts. JetBlue having 33 in makes it a good choice for me.

A designer complained to me that her Photoshop blur requirements did not match my iOS implementation. I had to manually adjust my code until it met precisely, which was a pain. A few years later, she became a developer and admitted she was

Thanks for the explanation. Reading the paper, it seems it still takes 2-4 hours to train (one scene?). I imagine that's still faster than any manual method.

Could someone explain what splatting is suitable for? I see lots of recreations of photographs. Is this some a kind of compression technique, or is there some other usage?

Visiting the Tank Museum is something I do when I go to England. I wish I could be there on Tiger Day and see it driving around. It's an amazing machine to see in person. Having four actual WW2 Shermans plus the Tiger in Fury made the

I wonder if holding stolen digital data acquired by illegal means in cloud storage is akin to holding stolen real-world goods, like by a pawn shop or fence. Of course, the hackers may have sold the contents already making deleting it moot.

As a generative artist, I experimented with flow fields for a while but found them rather limited, especially given how many people use them. It's hard to distinguish yourself if you do what everyone else is doing.

Search was the biggest feature of the web in the early '00s. Now it's such a mess. I can't imagine Search will ever be amazing again, given all the complexity of providing quality while still avoiding all the crap.

Given that the game is always the same (layout and wind/gravity/physics don't change), it's not surprising the "robot" succeeded. This is less about reasoning and more about trial and error and memorization. I

Why does Midjourney continue to insist on using Discord as a UI? I'd much rather they release a command line tool I can run anywhere if they insist on a text interface.
