As OpenIA enters this new era, what initiatives or directions would you prioritize to ensure its success and alignment with ethical AI development?
Right, and iron horses will never replace real ones in farming because they are too heavy and use up too much coal.
Take a look into graphene-based supercapacitors. It _is_ possible to charge an electric car in a few minutes. It's just a matter of time. [and no, we're not talking EEStor. We're talking multiple research universities actively looking into the technology. Angstron Materials is one.]
It's a nice thought but there's just one catch. This new interface makes it difficult for new applications to be 'discovered', especially if they're not chosen by Apple to be shown near the top of the stack.
Yes, it will force developers to do better App store SEO, but that's not what we want. We want users to be able to use apps that have better design. To me this new layout makes it harder for users to compare apps, and thus makes it harder for them to find the ones that are the most well-designed.
If, as you say, the users naturally gravitate toward using more well-designed apps, then what's wrong with the current system? If I were you, I would worry that your new app -- even if it's revolutionary, even if it's the prettiest App in the App Store -- would be stuck at the bottom of the list, because Apple chose to dedicate more space to the flashy apps that are already ranked first.
In the interview you didn't answer the question posed. Could you please answer it now?
"A typical digital camera captures one image. Isn't what you're doing, in a sense, capturing a thousand different images with each image?"
Am I wrong in assuming that there is a matrix of 9 images which is repeated across the sensor? It was my impression that each microlens was superimposed over a 10x10 array of pixels, such that the entire matrix covered a 30x30 pixel area, and there are 108x108 microlens arrays, for a total of 104,976 microlenses?
I admit that I was wrong in my choice of words concerning focal length. I meant that within each matrix of 9 microlenses, one of them doesn't bend the light, while 4 of them bring items closer than the unbent light into focus, and the other 4 bring farther items into focus.
With that, your software creates 9 different images that focus on light coming from objects 9 different distances from your camera. Is that correct?
I never said there were only 9 microlenses. In my original post I said there was a repeated array of 9 microlenses. Each type of microlens is processed into one 'layer'. Is that wrong?
It's a cute concept, but apparently the visionaries have little sense of supply and demand. The high prices on rare earth metals are dependent on their extreme scarcity. If the supply is bolstered (in this case, to the tune of $20,000,000,000,000), the selling price will decrease. It's simple economics.
I'm not saying it's anything but amazing. However, if the founders think they're going to get today's prices for every last ounce, as the article seems to imply, they are in for a realization.
