This is a really interesting approach but I'm curious to see how it translates to the actual mesh extrusion, or whatever 3d technique they adopt. It's relatively easy to do this in 2d, it's the 3d solution that accommodates t

This gets at the heart of the quality of results issues a lot of people are talking about elsewhere here. Right now, if you treat them as a system where you can tell it what you want and it will do it for you, you're building a sandcas

Fundamentally, they are really powerful text transformers with some additional capability. The further away from that sweet spot and the closer to anthropomorphization the more unreliable the output

It seems like the emphasis on getting results in one shot reduces the maximum potential quality of the output as compared to a more incremental approach. For example, create an initial prompt to generate a structured description of the feat

It's something that is more alien the longer ago it was that you got involved with the internet, but I've recently seen this firsthand myself and it works. It's not a general purpose search but if you put in terms related to

I've only researched this superficially but I believe that in Los Angeles county and possibly California at large it's the case that commercial zones include multi-family residential uses, so a C4 is also effectively an R4. You ca

Do you mean the 3 mountain snowflake rating? I recently switched from some AT tires without it to those with it and while they definitely don't rise to the level of snow tires, the 3 mountain snowflake rating does seem to be legit. I d

It looks more like cinder block than marble from the photos, is that the case in person as well? Kind of a bummer to have a marble house that ends up being nothing special.

Apple Maps desperately needs an offline mode, but for me, it's better in LA on the freeways because they at least make an attempt to show you what lane to be in. Lane guidance usually works on surface streets, too, which is nice but no

I had two of my closest childhood friends die when I was young. It was a much different situation to yours, but I just wanted to say I know what that's like. I'm not haunted by it either, but it stuck with me in that it made it re

I can't speak for Azure specifically, but I've been hearing variations on this theme since at least 2001 or so, when VB diehards thought the switch to .NET was going to be a failure.

Back in the day, my setup was one 30" in the middle in landscape and a pair of 21" (or whatever that was that had the right dimensions) on the sides in portrait mode. The big screen was the primary and the other two were for refer

You’d be surprised how much of an effort it takes to safely descend a steep slope with poor traffic. Definitely harder going up but if you check it out on google earth you can get an idea of the grade.

As someone who lives nearby part of the year, I really think this story has taken on a life of its own. It's true that there is some gross algae in the South Fork Merced but from all of the public info, they didn't even make it th

I live one town over from Oakhurst part of the year and it's really just astonishing to think of it as any sort of tech hub at all. It's too bad that Sierra took all of that when they failed.

There are some fairly simple steps that get overcomplicated due to companies selling products. 1) Figure out what you want to grow 2) Look up what kind of soil pH and what nutrients those plants need 3) Test your soil for pH and those nutri

It's a lot of money but it's also a weird job. Lifeguarding at the ocean isn't like sitting beside the neighborhood pool. It's a pretty niche skill and seasonal on top of that. It sucks that we have to spend so much but

This is the key, as with many things it’s hard to get momentum established without some external motivation. It was always interesting to me but I could never keep a knot in my head until I picked up fly fishing.

If you find this stuff interesting, pick up a book aimed at hobbyist metal lathes. Just reading a little about how you set up a tiny home version can give you a whole new level of understanding and respect for this kind of stuff. Structural

This thing is simultaneously the harbinger of techno-dystopia and something I can see being really useful in my vacation rental to check up on things between guests. This is part of why these ideas are so insidious.

This is why the liberal arts are important, because you need someone in the room with enough knowledge of the world's history to be able to look at this and suggest that maybe given the terrible history of pseudo-scientifically sorting

All this and the chronological sort mode is still totally broken. Third post in my feed is 3 days old followed by one 2 hours. Total joke.

I'm fine buying prints or other similar things online but with original art, you need to see it in context and detail. I would love some sort of pseudo-VR style experience to actually get a sense for texture and depth. For example, thi

Interesting, I will have to keep an eye out for that printer. I'd love to see something like that used on one of the iconic scenes in Yosemite. I'm currently riding out the pandemic at my place nearby so I'm thinking a lot ab

Is it feasible to do landscapes or is this more for macro distances?

I would love to be wrong because this tech is very interesting, but I feel like I have developed a pretty good bullshit detector in my time online and quotes such as "VES being the Fifth State of Matter (Fifth Essence - Quintessence)&q

If it's an ongoing problem that you really want to solve, check out companies like Etymotic who will take custom molds and make you exactly the earbud you need. I don't have headphones like this but I did get my musician-quality e

"Hey Google" is a valid trigger for some versions of the assistant, so they weren't that far off and may have seen that in action before.
