This is great. I live in a dense suburb and the weekend is just a cacophony of deafening noise from leafblowers, table saws, pressure washers, lawn mowers, etc. My neighbor had a team of people grinding and cutting stone slabs for their patio from 9-5 last weekend. Wish people would chill out.
there are some artists with very strong, recognizable styles. if you provide one of these artists' name in your prompt and get a result back that employs their strong, recognizable style, i think that demonstrates that the network has a latent representation of the artists work stored inside of it.
I don't think you have to reproduce an entire original work to demonstrate copyright violation. Think about sampling in hip hop for example. A 2 second sample, distorted, re-pitched, etc. can be grounds for a copyright violation.
it's funny, VR doesn't give me motion sickness but browser parallax stuff does. i don't think i've ever seen a good implementation of this and i've seen tons of attempts. highjacking scroll just never feels good.
i wonder if there's a constant average reading speed (in terms of bits per second) across written languages. chinese is obviously more dense per symbol than english, but is each character processed more slowly as a result, preserving constant data rate across languages? also interesting to consider how much harder real time, verbal translation would be if data rates differed.
Scientists started with written texts from 17 languages, including English, Italian, Japanese, and Vietnamese. They calculated the information density of each language in bits—the same unit that describes how quickly your cellphone, laptop, or computer modem transmits information. They found that Japanese, which has only 643 syllables, had an information density of about 5 bits per syllable, whereas English, with its 6949 syllables, had a density of just over 7 bits per syllable. Vietnamese, with its complex system of six tones (each of which can further differentiate a syllable), topped the charts at 8 bits per syllable.
how can you encode 643 syllables using 5 bits? same for 6949 syllabes/7 bits?
you really dont use context menus for everything. a lot of functionality is based on modal key chords. so, different sequences/chords do different things based on the selected mode. watch this video and tell me this is inefficient: https://youtu.be/31A0s9HDRHU?t=483
media molecule's Dreams has the most impressive user interface i've ever used. it uses 2d panels laid out in 3d space but the panels can be anchored and resized in screen space, object space or world space and it's extremely intuitive. i highly recommend people interested in ux/ui check it out
Don't mean to nitpick, just wasn't able to parse this:
> Each of the 2-8 main CPU cores can run independently, shutting on or off as necessary, and has its own private cache (bigger than most computers’ RAM up to even recently) ...
Aren't CPU caches necessarily much smaller than RAM?
Additionally, I think the public is now realizing how powerful the friend/follow metadata graph is. It's pretty easy/robust to infer traits about people for whom you don't have explicit information. Alan, Betty, and Charlotte filled out the quiz and all live in Florida; Dave has mutual friendships with Alan, Betty, and Charlotte; Dave probably lives in Florida. You can do this recursively and don't need to have concrete information about the majority of members in a graph in order to make pretty strong probablistic inferences about the traits of a large graph.
