> How does this work from a technological standpoint? There have only been 27 Pixar feature films.

From the start, imaging AI's capability has been largely around style transfer. You can take an artist or define a lump group of inspiration, dump it in as a prompt and get a fairly high chance of a good-looking image.

> Why Disney-Pixar in particular? Why not Dreamworks, Illuminatiom entertainmemt...

You tell me. Visually I don't mind Illumination or Dreamworks, but technically they keep their light under a bushel. I do have a bit of background in rendering and 3D CG, and while I loathe Disney/Pixar they generally do a good job presenting technically-impressive frames with well-choreographed shots.

> Is this just an attempt to ruin the reputation of the Pixar brand?

No? Pixar exists, as a company. Same goes for Disney. They've had their content mocked, copied and even used as hate speech for decades now. A lot of people just reach for it because it's recognizable branding.

> Is there even any interpretation that would allow this to be seen as anything different than industrial style IP infringement?

Given that it's noncommercial, yes. There's a good arguement that all of these images are derivative parody works protected by Fair Use, AI-generated or not. The AI-generation legality part is yet-to-be-decided-on, but it will probably err on the side of model freedom. I wager it's too late to draft a bill that changes things this far in the game.

Banks have algorithms that can detect when a customer is going through a serious financial difficulty and may become a liability.

I know because it happened to me.

The fact that you became homeless, no food for one week, couldn't graduate because you couldn't pay tuition etc. all point to the same thing. BTW, colleges don't screw you over if you are late paying tuition for just one week. I know that quite well too.

When my bank closed my accounts, I was super annoyed. But I knew why they did it.

> Assistants demos in particular showed that they are a black box within a black box within a black box that you can't port anywhere else.

I'd argue the opposite. The new "Threads" interface in the OpenAI admin section lets you see exactly how it's interpreting input/output specifically to address the black box effect.

I own an IASIS IA-7301 which is very similar single board trainer The IASIS is built around the NEC μCOM-80 version of the Intel 8080. The board is attached to a plastic backer that fits into a three ring binder. An entire programming course is included in the binder.

> But there is a closely-related question, which is to ask: how much does Remy depend on the way the simulator works? Will it work on real networks? We have some confidence that the results don't depend on fine details of the simulator, because RemyCCs are optimized within Remy's own simulator but evaluated inside ns-2 and its TCP implementations, which were developed independently and long predate Remy. But the only way to know for sure is to try it on a real network, which we haven't done yet.

Did they try it on a real network?

Also, it seems unclear that using a Remy congestion control algorithm while all the machines around you are using Cubic will help very much.

This is a revisionist interpretation of history. The initial recommendation not to go out and panic buy masks was for a good reason, healthcare providers needed them first. And in regards to the behavior of the virus, recommendations were always based on the best understanding of the virus at the time and were updated as those understandings changed. Public health guidance isn't "the science", it is a snapshot of professional interpretation of science at a single point in time.

If I write code more slowly that others find easier to maintain, that is selfish?

> what if you use the closed-form answer, but without any floating-point or other approximations

You can use a field extension here, ℚ(√5), to represent your numbers. The numbers would be represented as pairs, (a,b), which represents the number a+b√5. You can see for yourself that this set is closed under addition and multiplication.

But when you try to implement code that computes exponents with this representation, you’re probably going to fall back to the old “repeated squaring” trick. But that’s how you calculate exponents with your matrix representation anyway—and you can note that the matrix powers (for this matrix) always take the form

| a b |
| 0 a |

So you can represent these matrixes as (a,b) pairs anyway. We are right back where we started—our state is represented as a pair of numbers, and we use repeated squaring to calculate an exponent.

Sometimes these different ideas for representing the problem give us new insight or new algorithms, and sometimes it turns out to be a new perspective on the same piece of code.

Possibly. It seems at least as naive as thinking a team member sharing an extremely common first name is going to matter in this context.
100% agree, but nobody gives a shit, and I’ve learned to just let it go. I’ve been in so many meetings, seen so many PSAs, and you know what happens every single time? Nothing. Maybe a couple people learn what interactive rebase is for the first time, try it once, say “it lost all my code” and never try it again. Good luck explaining ref log in these cases.

And that's the one--and only--reasonable use of rebasing, to squash commits from a branch before merging into main. If engineers find themselves using rebase in any other context than squashing a merge, it's time to re-evaluate the processes/culture around workflow.
All of that depends on having a president and congress that would refuse to approve the transfer. Right now, it’s not going anywhere but who knows what the next administration or two might bring to the table.

In french, we have "they are not not the sharpest knives of the drawer" but my favorite one is "he is not the penguin who slides the furthest" :D

Radio Shack was this odd bifurcation of traditional "maker" stuff that, to be honest, in a pre-web world was better than nothing other than the rare local community and mostly low- to maybe mid-quality stereo etc. gear that mostly worked because "real" stereo stores intimidated a lot of people and they were more or less the only game in town for component cables at sane prices.

But, yes, they never adjusted their offerings or their marketing to make them more broadly appealing.

It's like if someone said they wanted to invite you over for dinner. Then they started texting you. "at the grocery store". "bought a pound of beef". "bought some carrots". "Checking out now". "Arrived at home". "Turned oven on". "Turned oven to 450 degrees". "Turned oven up to 460 based on different recipe". "Starting to prep the beef now". and so on, and so on. I mean, just cook the damn dinner - I don't need to be needled about all the steps. I'll come over and bring the wine, and we'll eat a meal. I don't need to know every minor implementation detail in a commit log, to review and merge the branch. Arghhhh I have one dev on my team like this right now. I'll have to have a talk with them.
My team of hardware and software engineers is relatively new to Git. I’m trying to get them to commit and push small changes daily to a shared personal branch e.g. james-wip instead of one monster commit every 2 or 3 weeks. I encourage them to rebase their “named” personal branches so they’re easier to review and merge into master when they’re ready.
> not committing until the feature is working and ready to commit is also a thing

That leaves you prone to losing work if you have a false start that you need to back out of. I prefer to commit early and often on my private branches, then before submitting a pull request I clean up the history to where there are a few good commits that form useful, standalone chunks (ideally the test suite fully passes on each commit).

Canadian motor company celebrates ground test of electric jet propulsion motor
We - humans - could have had digital money - fast and fee-less, micro-transactions, decentralization, secure, anti-spam. Everything Bitcoin claimed to want to be.

Instead we - the tech community - got smug about scams. People here get smug even toward the victims of scams.

The attitude has been 'Who gives a flying fuck about the details of any crypto tech, or the potential of digital money'. 'It's all a scam, so I don't have to learn anything about it'.

The baby got thrown out with the bathwater.

The people working on actually good crypto have nothing to do with SBF. The only way in which they're affected by this is the extent to which they get tarred with the same brush.

I attended Washington State University in the mid-70s. I had nothing to do with computers except my girlfriend was a Chemical Engineering major taking her one and only required programming class (CS being a subdivision of the Math dept. at the time). I spend long nights with her in the computer center, helping her punch cards and waiting for runs to complete. I had no idea what I was doing, but I collected enough punch cards with the WSU logo on them that I had bookmarks for close to 10 years after.

My only other experience with computers before that was a couple of years earlier, when my high school math class visited Boeing and did some sort of computer interaction over a teletype. Probably better than punch cards, but I didn't have my girlfriend with me...

When I saw this, I figured it was a clear step back from simply using plugins in the main ChatGPT view. It's basically plugins, but with extra prompting and you can only use one at a time.

But if you look at projects like Autogen ( https://github.com/microsoft/autogen ), you see one master agent coordinating other agents which have a narrower scope. But you have to create the prompts for the agents yourself.

This GPTs setup will crowd-source a ton of data on creating agents which serve a single task. Then they can train a model that's very good at creating other agents. Altman nods to this immediately after the GPTs feature is shown, repeating that OpenAI does not train on API usage.

Prediction: next year's dev day, which Altman hints will make today's conference look "quaint" by comparison, will basically be an app built around the autogen concept, but which you can spin up using very simple prompts to complete very complex tasks. Probably on top of a mixture of GPT 4 & 5.

I'm skeptical of mainstream media's reporting on wars, and I've actually found a lot of facts exposed on Wikipedia that might've been covered up as "treasonous" because they don't support the US's side. More so than in other English sources.
>"unfortunately he was clever enough to never implicate himself in a criminally chargeable manner."

This just confirms that they were not enemies. Enemies want to exterminate each other. And trading with the official enemy is a crime last time I checked. I do not think Germany or Russia wanted that. They're neither friends nor enemies, both just looking how to exploit each other.

I got into my one and only accident less than a year after getting my first car, when another driver ran a stop sign. I was the one who tee-boned them, because they actually accelerated quite quickly out of the stop while I was going about 50 mph with right of way on a feeder road. I still can’t shake the feeling that I under-braked, although I did see some solid tread marks before the point of impact on the road. I don’t think it was a very avoidable accident on my part, but I probably could’ve hit them with less speed if I’d put all my weight on the brake. My back would certainly have appreciated it.
granted, considering the historical rivalry for the caliphate amongst Arabs, Egyptians, Turks and Persians, I'm not all that surprised
Here's a rewritten first sentence, without endorsement for or against:

English Wikipedia has become a party organ for the ideology of universities' liberal arts departments. It filters for a particular viewpoint: deconstructive, post modernist, existentialist, nihilist, anti-western, socialist. English Wikipedia no longer cares about objective truth, and is more interested in assigning inflammatory labels to opinions outside of its ideology, and purging views that come from the wrong sources, namely dead white males.

Some notes: The clarification about language vs. kingdom is unnecessary. Specifying that philosophy et al are now "ruined" is deliberately argumentative. "personal truth and lived experience" is duplicative of "post modernist". "battering down the gates" is also deliberately argumentative. I do not remember Shut Down Tech day, and so it adds nothing. The footnote on "party organ" doesn't help explain what a party organ is, but instead seems focused on aligning you with the views of The Nation against the CCP.

Your entire first post reads like you're trying to pick a fight, and not trying to explain or convince anyone.

For what it's worth, I think Bayart is right. I agree with most of what you wrote above, but didn't like the tone, so I chose not to vote. Like Bayart, I would assume the earlier downvotes were primarily because of the tone, not the content. This doesn't mean that your tone was "wrong", just that it was the likely cause of the downvotes.

Yup, never ever buy lasers / UV light equipment from Amazon. Shit's dangerous and they don't go through any real regulation.

You often get class 3B lasers being sold as 3R which is extremely dangerous. I opted to pay a lot more for a green laser for astronomy purposes on a legit website then buy dirt cheap on Amazon because I don't want to blind/injure myself or others.

That something fundamentally wrong with that article. There's two separate "lab leak" theories, one that the virus was genetically engineered, and the other theory is that it came from bats, but was accidentally leaked from the lab.

The article merges the theories together, and then uses scientist's support of natural origin to dismiss both. Having it come from a wild bat doesn't suddenly rule out the lab that was doing research on wild bats.
There are regulations on that stuff in some countries. A friend of mine is in lighting and says their company generally avoids lasers due to the hassle of compliance.
The kids were each given small rations of food and water, and they were allowed - indeed encouraged - to fight over them. Bullying was considered a virtue

The second time Elon went to veldskool, he was .. up to six feet ... and had learned some judo. So veldskool wasn't so bad. "I realized by then that if someone bullied me, I could punch them very hard in the nose, and then they wouldn't bully me again.

In the telling of this place where bullying was an expectation, the part where Elon would have said "but I didn't bully anyone myself" is absent from the narrative.
