At least in the original paper [1], the key idea is that instead of training a neural network to treat "images" as an array of pixels, you train a network to map a camera location and direction (in 3D space) to a distance and a color.

For example, if you tell a NeRF that you have a camera at location (x, y, z) and pointing in direction (g, h, j), then the network will output the distance at which the ray emitted from the camera is expected to "hit" something and the RGB color of whatever is hit.

Doing things in this way enables rendering images at arbitrary resolutions (though rendering can be slow), and is naturally conducive to producing rotated views of objects or exploring 3D space. Also, at least theoretically, it should allow for more "compact" network architectures, as it does not need to output, say, a 512x512x3 image.

> We should be humble and careful about jumping to conclusions.

Agreed, but it's also important to look out for confirmation bias. There were users on Twitter and even one HN commenter in the linked threads above who claimed to have reproduced the issue and verified the flaw. The HN commenter later updated their comment to admit their mistake. However, it's interesting to see how once the idea has been seeded, people are primed to accept any suggestion that it might be true.

Been possible on home computers for 31 years for anyone who actually wants to do it. It literally doesn't matter and I think Stability has proven that the "AI Ethics" part of these models was essentially meaningless busy work at best, and at worse stealing compute credits from users like Dall-E purposefully charging you with something you didn't ask for.

Once every home computer can make the fake images AI Ethicists larp about then the power of fake images disappears because everyone knows not to trust them. It only has power if only a few can make them and never told the world it was even possible.

Worth noting that the posted Acceptable Use Policy is for Australia's Paypal and not any other country (not for the USA). You can tell this because the url is /au after the .com. On USA Paypal it's /us and if you go to the US Paypal and look at their Acceptable Us Policy it hasn't changed since Sept. 20, 2021. So the major change to Prohibited Activities shown in line #5 is limited to Australian users. Which should be no shock considering Australia has been strict about these things for some time, so Paypal is probably changing that to comply with the Australian government laws, way to go Aussies you only continue to allow your government to revert you further backwards. If you aren't operating in Australian, then nothing has changed here. The $2,500 thing has been around for over a decade.
It's an interesting link, but it refers to data sent when initialising and interacting with the phone. It's not the same thing as tracking (as in over time) individual users' purchasing habits for advertising.
Well sometimes it’s not just if they can get to you but when. For instance, I needed to see a cardiologist and the first appointment was three months out. The office offered to place me on a list where if someone cancelled, they go through this list and offer up that appointment. If they don’t reach you, however, they just keep on going through the list. Having my phone to filter calls meant I couldn’t take advantage of this as they had already moved on. These lists seem commonplace and maybe an example of what parent meant in their post as you can’t simply save the office number because the office has several outbound extensions.

I'm on a mac, so they killed that version a long ago and there's only one, which can't have local-first notes, not that it ever could but I was able to download them, and the app resembled the older desktop onenote more.

I once explained to a co-worker that I live in a cabin in the woods.

"So you hunt and fish and stuff?"
"Nope."
"So how do you get food?"

One time I told an Uber driver that I live out in the country.

"Wait, how do you get around?"
"I drive."
"Oh. Do you have your own parking spot?"
"It's the country. Parking is everywhere."
"And do you have DoorDash?"
"Nope. No apps, no delivery, nothing."
"But how do you eat?"

Just checked today and it looks like the markup is 12-12% per item over picking up at the restaurant.

I'm going to take an unpopular position: there's no harm being done. It's not putting people in positions they would rather not be in, but putting their likeness into those situations. It's a key difference: if someone makes a paper mache of a naked Trump to use in a protest, is harm being done to him?

The idea that it's "doing harm" is simply inventing a new form of lèse-majesté. Verbally, we regularly do the same: we might take a signifier for someone and place it in a representation. "Rick likes to fuck goats every day." Have I done harm to Rick?

We have different delivery services in my country (mostly wolt and glovo), and yep, they fucked the prices of food here.

They probably take 20-30% of the item price from the restaurant (+charge delivery extra)... so eating inside or takeout should be cheaper.. but nope, to keep the prices consistent, pretty much everyone raised all their prices to the delivery levels.

I did start cooking more though.

Even in the cities immediately surrounding Boston, a lot of them are also walk-able. You just have to be a bit picky on location if you still want quick access to subway stations.

I'm just outside Boston and within a 15 minute walk of me is:

* Multiple supermarkets, plus multiple specialty or small grocers. TWO more supermarkets another 5-10 minutes further walk out.

* FIVE playgrounds. Three of which are proper parks.

* FIVE different brands of bank branches.

* FIVE different gyms or fitness centers.

* Three clinics or health care organizations.

* Three pharmacies.

* A department store, with another just another 10 minutes further walk out.

* A primary school, middle school, and high school.

* A public library.

* A subway station.

* A bus stop that goes to said subway station is 100 feet from my back door.

Never mind restaurants, fast food, specialty shops, barbers, nail salons, lawyers, garages, tailors, general contractors, convenience stores, etc.

Around 2009 after moving here I stopped using a metal box on wheels as a conveyance after about 8 months. I do have a car, but it's only for long trips (family) and for fun on backroads.

You're mixing up two different countries policies. The $2,500 applies to US (and has been around for over a decade), the paragraph you are quoting applies to Australia it's off that countries Use Policy (not the USA). They are not related. Paypal has different policies in different countries.

> Looking around in the EU

There's your problem. Europe doesn't generalize, and that's my entire point. Nowhere does. Europe benefits from warm winds. Often London is warmer than NYC despite being the significantly further north. The benefit here is lots of wind and far milder climates. It is the reason Europeans frequently don't have air conditioning (changing) but most Americans do. The US is warmer on average but also, generally, has larger seasonal swings in temperature. Hydro power is also notoriously non-homogeneous (especially considering environmental factor). For example, a significant part of the US (the part almost no one lives in) is a giant desert.

> Countries that push more heavily for nuclear seem to neglect renewables and countries investing in renewables often care little for expanding nuclear.

Can you give an example of such a country? France is one of the lowest emitters in Europe (even with current issues). France and Sweden draw significant amounts of power from hydro and nuclear. France, currently, is getting ~100gCo2eq/kWhr (and previously was <30) while Germany is 210. Britain is 180, Spain is 230, Portugal is 330, Italy is >300, and Poland is >500. If your concern is with France I believe you need to get your priorities straight. The majority of Europe emits multiples of times that of France and it has been this way for decades. So I'm not sure why you feel you need to pick on them. When the other countries are producing less (or even in the same ballpark) then we can talk.

My entire argument is that this heterogeneity makes the problem of choosing the right power source rather difficult. You can't just look up average (or median) prices and apply them unilaterally. Doing so comes off as extremely naive because, again, first order thinking is not helpful here. Complex problems require complex solutions.

And I need to make this absolutely and abundantly clear: I AM NOT SAYING NUCLEAR EVERYWHERE. I explicitly said we should build as much renewable as possible. I will not be upset if the total amount of nuclear power, globally, is zero. If you believe anything less, I think you gravely misread my comment. I think you may have missed this point and confused my being okay with nuclear as being a nuclear bro. So there really isn't much to argue with here (besides calling the kettle black) because I'm not nuclear gung-ho. Forgive me, but it is often frustrating that when I make the slightest argument in favor of nuclear I get responses as if I proposed a nuclear vs renewables argument. Again, I explicitly stated that this is not the case.

My guess is that one of the biggest motivations is to enable one-time address digitization. I'm only really familiar with USPS but my understanding is that the Royal Mail Mailmark system is largely similar to the USPS IMB system.

Bulk mailers have long been required to barcode mail with destination information to reduce the need to OCR addresses, which is a particularly complex and expensive part of the operation. Non-bulk mail actually gets barcoded by an inline printer in the sorting machine after the first time it is OCRd, to avoid the need to OCR it again later in handling. Well, that's the case in the US. From what I can tell Royal Mail doesn't currently do this, and so they're going to have to OCR the address repeatedly on all non-bulk items. At this point, putting a unique barcode on the stamp and then associating it with the destination in an online database is probably much cheaper for them to roll out than adding barcode printing to their sorting equipment.

And it provides counterfeiting and fraud resistance, along with the ability to add detailed tracking to letters very cheaply.
