No, CMOS image sensor Bayer RAWs are not accurate to what we actually see. Just a few of the many things that need to be addressed to get an even “normal” looking image: 1) They’re overly green because the greens of the RGGB color filter a

Can’t this cynical take be used to nullify any and all journalism? I get the need to be suspicious generally but this comment doesn’t add to the conversation in any substantive manner. At least give us some take on how the author and her

Sorry I had misread your line - somehow the “not” didn’t register. Can’t remove/edit my previous comment for some reason.

Is software that important on the inference side, assuming all the key ops are supported by the compiler? Once the model is quantized and frozen the deployment to alternative chips while somewhat cumbersome hasn’t been too challenging, at

From a high-level design standpoint, wouldn’t the general-purposeness of NVIDIA’s GPUs (even if they do have some AI/LLM optimizations) put them generally at a disadvantage compared to more custom/dedicated inference designs? (Dis

Naive question: how is brute-force cracking still a thing in real-world systems? Aren’t there time-outs/bans for guessing wrong after like 3-5 guesses? How does one get the opportunity to try millions/billions/etc of times?

Just got mine - it did run hot the first day but the next day it was fine (although I did turn off background app refresh after the first day, maybe that had something to do with it)

What’s the fundamental reason why SOTA modems are more challenging than microprocessors for Apple? Intuitively I would’ve guessed the opposite was true.

Thank you for sharing this. I’m a Christian as well and have found the same peace about death. At the same time, I get stressed out easily about work and probably have an existential dread about negative reputation or “wasting my potential

If the rotation of the craft is simply due to a rotation of the camera, why do the clouds not also rotate? I’ve only skimmed the video but he doesn’t seems to account for this relative rotation between the craft and clouds…

Agreed here. Lots of things are outside our control over reasonably large time spans- macroeconomics, rapid tech & ecosystem disruptions, changes in your own personal life, etc. - but if there’s some underlying deeper “dream” that is f

It’s gotta be somehow automated like that - can’t imagine any other way it would be scalable to the entire engineering base at Apple.

What was the scale of academic research post WW 2 compared to now? I’d imagine our research budgets are a significantly higher fraction of GDP now.

Harder sci-fi may be more focused on the science but a big component of sci-fi as I understand it is exploration of humanity and its social dynamics in unknown/challenging environments. In which case CRT might indeed be relevant in so
