yeah I'm a little confused because practically all crosswalks in Chicago no longer have beg buttons. Maybe this wasn't true in 2015. This might be one across Lake Shore Drive, at Monroe perhaps (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8810438,-87.6172572,3a,75y,2...)? That does have a beg button but despite living a few blocks from there, I'm not sure if it does anything or not...

Not calling you a lair, but that’s been all allowed at all of my past employers that I can remember. Sounds like an employer issue.
That's not "basic denoising" and photos from my 8 look nothing like that; the "watercolor" or "oil painting" look started around the iPhone 12.

Basic denoising is stuff like chroma or hue smoothing. This is very aggressive patterning. That's a daylight photo that the phone turned into an oil painting.

I dont really believe this crazy tutoring theory AT ALL. What has changed is that education has become widespread. It is well known that standardized education destroys creativity. Ramanujen was largely self-taught! The stuff you learn on your own or unconventionally makes you capable of solving problems that the cookie cutter intellectuals cannot!

If you were born in Oppenheimer's era you gained a huge advantage of parents wealthy enough to pay for undergrad school (perhaps a paltry 5%) AND graduate school (perhaps 0.01%) so the gulf in education and knowledge between these wealthy educrats and the average man on the street was far more enormous, and these educrats had a much bigger inside track to discovery ...

So to summarize, a genius is measured by their intellectual height above the AVERAGE person and the average has increased a lot. At the same time, standardized education is killing diversity and creativity...
From the New York Times update link:

"A.M. Rosenthal, who went on to become executive editor of The Times, stands by the article he assigned to Mr. Gansberg 40 years ago, right down to the word ''watched'' in its opening sentence. This questioning of details, he said, is to be expected.

''In a story that gets a lot of attention, there's always somebody who's saying, 'Well, that's not really what it's supposed to be,''' said Mr. Rosenthal, who is retired from The Times and now writes a column for The Daily News. There may have been minor inaccuracies, he allows, but none that alter the story's essential meaning. ''There may have been 38, there may have been 39,'' he said, ''but the whole picture, as I saw it, was very affecting.''"

Does that sound like "completely wrong" to you?

Indeed, since it looks at data from before you press the trigger as well. The camera is always active while you have the camera app; storing a few seconds of pictures is a trivial amount of memory.

Live Photo means storing the video in the image file. Turning it off doesn’t mean the video is no longer used, just that it isn’t stored.
Yes, largely. There was a time where you had to force refresh the filter lists every day or so, but I haven’t had to for a while now.

Ublock Origin will be your best bet against Youtube ads, apart from just paying of course.
privacy badger is redundant and unnecessary
To save going through that whole video for the answer: they have redundant power supplies (3 batteries total) and redundant actuator motors.

But the fact is if there is a bad enough electrical/wiring fault, especially as the car gets older, you are toast and you have no steering.

Of course the same thing can happen with mechanical steering (eg a broken linkage) it comes down to the quality of the design and build.
All the popular ones are all Mozilla monitored, so I don’t agree that pretty much all of them aren’t.

I pirated Turbo Pascal back in the day because I was a poor student in a Third World country and there was no way I could afford it. Ditto Turbo C.

After I started working, I had a hand in selecting Borland C++ as our in-house development platform, and we paid Borland a fortune in licensing fees. Which would have gone to Intel or another company if it were not for my, and other folks in my cohort's experience with pirated Borland products as students.

There is a lesson in there, somewhere.

Advent of Code 2023 is nigh
Unless the raw is actually a stack of images, it may not. Both Android and iOS are taking multiple exposures and combining them into a single HDR image. This is before it hits the camera app.

This has nothing to do with "Live Photos" on iOS to be clear.
It'd be really great if there was something like this that also supported image extraction
How often are you walking around your city? I live in one of the most walkable cities in the US, and this is a weekly occurrence for me.
It doesn't for me - first I got warning popups, and eventually videos wouldn't load at all.

I found a different extension called Ad Speedup that basically plays ads at infinite speed, so the ad's first frame loads, but then the video resumes. This is working reliably so far. I would also be interested to know if it still gives revenue to the channel because technically, the whole ad plays (just not at 1x speed).
My Fuji XA5 has denoising in the RAW files.
I think you’d be surprised how much phones have encroached on the fancy camera space. Also, the limiting factor in phone camera quality is more the lens than anything else. The SW backing it is much more powerful than what you get in standalone cameras although those manufacturers are trying to keep up (that’s why phone cameras can be so competitive with more expensive ones). I expect within the next 10 years we’ll see meaningful improvements to the lenses used in phones to the point where dedicated cameras will have shrunk even more (i.e. decoupling the size of the lens / sensor from the surface area on the back of the phone).
The problem with those numbers is they hit the internal limit before you use all those tokens. There's a limit to how many rules or factors their conditional probability model can keep track of. Once you hit that having a bigger context window doesn't matter.

The case in the article is obviously one that any idiot could have taken without these tools.

But "in difficult scenarios", as the GP comment put it, your mistake is assuming people have been taking those photos all along no problem. They have not. People have been filling their photo albums and memory cards up with underexposed blurry photos that look more like abstract art than reality. That's where this sort of technology shines.

I'm pretty reasonable at getting what I want out of a camera. But at some point you just hit limitations of the hardware. In "difficult scenarios" like a fairly dark situation, I can open the lens on my Nikon DLSR up to f/1.4 (the depth of field is so shallow I can focus your eyes while your nose stays blurry, so it's basically impossible to focus), crank the ISO up to 6400 (basically more grain than photo at that point), and still not get the shutter speed up to something that I can shoot handheld. I'd need a tripod and a very still subject to get a reasonably sharp photo. The hardware cannot do what I want in this situation. I can throw a speedlight on top, but besides making the camera closer to a foot tall than not and upping the weight to like 4lbs, a flash isn't always appropriate or acceptable in every situation. And it's not exactly something I carry with me everywhere.

These photos _cannot_ be saved because there just isn't the data there to save. You can't pull data back out of a stream of zeros. You can't un-motion-blur a photo using basic corrections.

Or I can pull out my iPhone and press a button and it does an extremely passable job of it.

The right tool for the right job. These tools are very much the "right" tool in a lot of difficult scenarios.
Because you can share them as photos and the composited image can be shared to the recipient.

Shortly after moving to Mountain View I was walking home from work and distracted thinking about a technical problem, I managed to walk right in front of a car that had the green. They stopped and apologized to me! (I assume they were also somewhat distracted and thought they were at fault...) Very different experience from the east coast.

I don't recall anyone in norcal speeding up towards pedestrians. And on bikes at unprotected crossings and in merging cars I've experienced the opposite problem where everyone slows down, spacing out traffic to optimally make it so you don't get a break long enough to allow crossing.

Was that picture taken with zoom?

I ask because the Pixel 7 doesn't have a dedicated zoom camera, so any zoom was digital which reduces quality a lot. The processing part has to use low quality frames and what you have there is often the result.

Phone users shouldn't have to think about this, but from experience I think that on phones without a zoom camera it's often better to take a photo without zoom (or avoid going past 2x) and crop the image afterwards.
I think we DO want to interrupt the flow of traffic. Cars should be slowed down in areas where a lot of people want to cross the street. Want to go fast? Do what they do; ditch the car and walk!

I think he's referring to behavior that some software has when it encounters raw UNIX timestamps without TZ information. I recall seeing a change like that in Python's datetime module as of late, so that even if UNIX timestamps are UTC by default, it's more explicit.

In the case of my project, the goal is to have UTC-only timestamps/dates, and since the resolution I'm using it for is a calendar day, time zone doesn't matter. I will still need to be explicit about it in my code when converting.

Or maybe edge cases like historical timezone changes, leap seconds?

kKR and Silver Lake (both private equity firms) created Avago.

Avago rolled up several companies including Broadcom and are 86% institution owned (Vanguard and Blackrock top 2)

Most of the layoff are marketing and sales as well as some engineering (it is a cut monthly cost and reap the revenue flow acquisition).

A slim chance of Avago/Broadcom utilizing its full enterprise SaaS hardware/software stack as I suspect it was just for "prospective show" in getting the acquisitee companies to be suckered in into the acquisition deal.
When did any of this happen.

Get a grip.
In my own testing (using ComfyUI), the best of the "fast gen" techniques for sdxl is using the Turbo model [0], but using the LCM sampler with the sgm_uniform scheduler (which is normal for LCM) with it, and running it up to 4-10 iterations instead of just one. I think StabilityAI demos are using Euler A with the normal base scheduler, and running a single iteration (which is cool for a max-speed demo, and its awesome for that speed, but its leaving a lot of quality on the table that you can get with a few more iterations especially with the LCM/sgm_uniform sampler/scheduler combo.) Bumping CFG up slightly helps, too (but I think adds another performance hit, because I think the demos are running at CFG 1, which AIUI disables CFG and reduces computations per iteration.)

> Unlike normal SDXL, you're required here to use the old-fashioned syntatic sugar like "8k hd" and "hyperrealistic" to align things.

That's not "syntactic sugar", and its not particular my experience that it is needed with sdxl turbo.

[0] actually, differencing the base sdxl model from the turbo model to get a "turbo modifier", and then combining that with a good SDXL-based checkpoint, because StabilityAI's base models are pretty ho-hum compared to decent community checkpoints derived from them, but that is kind of a peripheral issue.
I have no insider knowledge but I suspect that the university's existing contact with Microsoft already included Microsoft To Do. This department might have started using it because it was "free" (to them) and decided it was good enough at that price point.

This is just one department within the university. It's not uncommon to see small groups paying for some software only to eventually replace it with a site licensed enterprise alternative.

I doubt that by modern standards, Pascal seems to work if it compiles, compared to languages like Java or Go. They were comparing it to writing spaghetti code with GOTOs everywhere in BASICA, so no wonder their code seemed more reliable. Nowadays, the jump in reliability comes from strong and helpful type systems, not structured programming. Ada still seems good there, but Pascal is just an ordinary programming language.

Show HN: ChatGPT writes Recursive Descent Parser with parens and precedence
In the following remarkable chat, you can first see me ask a toy version of an exercise, then pose ChatGPT 4 a challenge that it completes successfully:

https://chat.openai.com/share/e1d04428-d57e-4e50-ac38-4d11b55f4f3e

Be sure to click the blue "view analysis" icon, it looks like this: [>_] at the end of its reply to view the code it wrote.

After analyzing and working on the problem for about two minutes, ChatGPT 4 was was able to write a correct Recursive Descent Parser for arithmetic expressions and parentheses that obeys order of operations and includes unary minus (for expressions like 3*-1). It worked for most of the inputs I tried, including:

evaluate_expression("5+5")
evaluate_expression("5+-5")
evaluate_expression("(10+5)/3")
evaluate_expression("(10+5)/-4")

Though it accepted some invalid expressions such as "4.5+++2" as well.

I think this would be a challenge for most computer science students to write in a few hours even if they were studying exactly this, and not all students would be able to complete the assignment successfully. ChatGPT's parser even handles decimal points.

Amazingly, it wrote its own test suite which it passed.

While this demonstration doesn't obviously qualify as superintelligence, I think it is an amazing demonstration of how much ChatGPT 4 can do all on its own now.
