The difference is that water vapour is a greenhouse gas. IIRC the net warming effect of clouds is a function of altitude.

Depends on your definition of knowing. Sure, we know it is predicting next tokens, but do we understand why they output the things they do? I am not well versed with LLMs, but I assume even for smaller modles interpretability is a big cha

Oh I was referring to the response of the cones itself (not the response after the opponent process). I was under the assumption there's no measured curves for the responses after having gone through the opponent process in the neuron-

JPEG XL had so much going for it. Kinda sad it was killed off just like that.

For me, there's a certain aesthetic to 1-bit bayer-dithered images, as well as images with visibly big coloured-halftone-dots, that makes it feel both retro and modern at the same time. I want to call it neo-retro, but I feel like that

AlphaFold uses transformers. That is definitely not from the 70s and 80s. Progress for me includes both small iterative refinements and big leaps. It also includes trying old techniques in new domains with new technology. So I think we just
