I knew someone in high school who had started work at an auto repair place, and he described the process - and danger - of replacing car springs to me once.

I'm sure there are various types of car spring, the kind he was talking about was the stereotypical coil-of-metal spring. There's so much energy in there that a small slip up can be deadly.
Where do you draw the line on things like Photoshop or Premier where AI suffuses the entire product. Not everything AI is generative AI.
I don't know anybody not in the tech world who even knows about that, let alone would care enough to change their platform. My guess is pretty much all average consumers, and 80% of technical consumers, don't care at best and actively applaud Gemini at worst. I doubt this is a problem at all
Couldn’t be less interested — art is interesting for its human qualities. This is pointless dreck.
In the case of sunlight exposure to UVB an equilibrium is reached where the amount vitamin D produced in the skin equals the amount destroyed by UVB. This does not happen if you pop vitamin D pills. I've recently written an app that calculates the time required to obtain adequate vitamin D by lying prone in the sun, with most of your clothes off, and using MED the minimal erythema dose as a guide to safe sun exposure. At the height of summer it is a surprisingly short amount of time that is required to get adequate vitamin D even for people with dark skins.

I was thinking a similar thing while reading the article, where people who are doing intermittent fasting are more likely to be overweight and less healthy than someone who isn't doing intermittent fasting. They saw an increase in people with existing heart disease as well, so perhaps more people have less healthy hearts in general than they realize?

Facts vs. Opinions
My gut reaction: Intermittent fasters who are not doing it entirely by choice are going to have other stress markers. And those are highly correlated with cardiac function.
Hypothetically, sure, assuming the parent comment that these meshes are sufficient for modelling is correct and that you can find any teens who want a non-digital toy.

I think a good hobbyist application for this would be something like modelling figurines for games, which is already a pretty popular 3D printing application. This would allow people with limited modelling skills to bring fantastical, unique characters to life “easily”.
This sounds possible, but where is it?
If by instructions you mean machine instructions, you don't; it's used for internal optimization passes only.
Our experience has been very different. Our Firebase security rules are locked down tight, so any new properties or collections need to be added explicitly for a new feature to work — it can't be "forgotten". Doing so requires editing the security rules file, which immediately invites strict scrutiny of the changed rules during code review.

This is much better than trying to figure out what are the security-critical bits in a potentially large request handler server-side. It also lets you do a full audit much more easily if needed.

Boston's Greatest Unsolved Mystery: The Gardner Museum Art Heist
Generally the idea is that they say the machine doesn’t work, and if you say you have no cash / won’t go to an ATM the machine magically starts working.
I’ve read your comment before the article, which means I’m left in the funny position of wondering how they get self-reported data from dead people. That would seem to be the real breakthrough! (It is a temporary bit of confusion entirely of my own making, which I’ll clear up shortly)

I think their suggestion was more "I have a photo of a cool horse, and now I would like a 3D model of that same horse."

Another way of looking at it, 3D artists often begin projects by taking reference images of their subject from multiple angles, then very manually turning that into a 3D model. That step could potentially be greatly sped up with an algorithm like this one. The artist could (hopefully) then focus on cleanup, rigging, etc, and have a quality asset in significantly less time.
Why are we still using springs?
If AI does achieve the hyped heights then we're all out of a job, regardless of what we do.

Many people suffer through bullshit jobs[1] so we are privileged to have - at least for a time - done what we really enjoy and got paid for it.

This is a problem of provenance (as it's known in the art world) and being certain of the provanence is a difficult thing to do - it's like converting a cowboy coded C++ project to consistently using const... you need to dig deep into every corner and prefer dependencies that obey proper const usage. Doing that as an individual content creator would be extremely daunting - but this isn't about individuals. If Getty has a policy against AI and guarantees no AI generation on their platform while Shutterstock doesn't[1] then creators may end up preferring Getty so that they can label their otherwise AI free content as such on Youtube - maybe it gets incorporated into the algorithm and gets them more views - maybe it's just a moral thing... if there's market pressure then the down-the-chain people will start getting stricter and, especially if one of those intermediary stock providers violates an agreement and gets hit with a lawsuit, then we might see a more concerted movement to crack down on AI generation.

At the end of the day it's going to be drenched in contracts and obscure proofs of trust - i.e. some signing cert you can attach to an image if it was generated on an entirely controlled environment that prohibits known AI generation techniques - that technical side is going to be an arms race and I don't know if we can win it (which may just result in small creators being bullied out of the market)... but above the technical level I think we've already got all the tools we need.

Yes, the Reddit dev team might have spawned a 2000+ repo mess, but they also host it under the snooguts.net domain name, which is objectively adorable, so all is forgiven.
You know, big sweeping refactors deservedly get a bad rep, but as everything else in life, there are always exceptions

At some point, I don't know, maybe when you cross the 100 repos mark, you've gotta ask yourself "maybe we could try a different approach?"

It's not like reddit has been known for its wonderful stability over the years

I'm sure the scale here is completely unlike anything I've ever worked on, but how hard can it be to write a sane implementation of a message board?

I'd be curious how much of this problem is caused by the junk that is "new reddit". I've been there since 2007... The day old.reddit.com is the day I abandon it for good
I suspect that stuff like accessibility and minimum OS version are not independent of the profitability of a customer, so it's not necessarily insane.

For example, I'd suspect that people who stay on old iPhone's are less likely to spend money on apps. But it's a small, very unfounded suspicion.

I'd be curious to see if anything works out though in how stuff like that lines up.
I think you have a bit backwards. If you want to publish pixels on a screen there should be no assumption that they represent real events.

If you want to publish proof of an event, you should have some pixels on a screen along with some cryptographic signature from a device sensor that would necessitate atleast a big corporation like Nikon / Sony / etc. being "in on it" to fake.

Also since no one likes RAW footage it should probably just be you post your edited version which may have "AI" upscaling / de-noising / motion blur fixing etc, AND you can post a link to your cryptographically signed verifiable RAW footage.

Of course there's still ways around that like your footage could just be a camera being pointed at an 8k screen or something but at least you make some serious hurdles and have a reasonable argument to the video being a result of photons bouncing off real objects hitting your camera sensor.

The books were great. My favorite books. I have read the 5-6 years back. Don't listen too much into the writing issue. I think it's worth the time. The writing/translation is different from western writing. Sometimes can be unexpectedly cheesy, funny, and emotional but hey that's what life is.

This is such a recurring pattern that it's kind of amazing we even take these reports seriously any more. Studying nutrition is so extremely challenging that outlets ought to have a very high bar for study quality and reject ones that don't control for such obvious confounding variables.

> Software is still heavily rate-limited by how much of it developers can write

Hmm. We have very different experiences here. IME, the vast majority of industry work is understanding, tweaking, and integrating existing software. There is very little "software writing" as a percentage of the total time developers spend doing their jobs across industry. That is the collective myth the industry uses to make the job seem more appealing and creative than it is.

At least, this is my experience in the large FAANG type companies. We already have so much code. Just figuring out what that code does and what else to do with it constitutes the majority of the work. There is a huge legibility issue where relatively simple things are obstructed by the morass of complexity many layers deep. A huge additional fraction of time is spent on deployments and monitoring. A very small fraction of the work is creatively developing new software. For example, one person will creatively develop the interface and overall design for a new cloud service. The vast majority of work after that point is spent on integration, monitoring, testing, releases, and so on.

The largest task of AI here would be understanding what is going on at both the technical layer and the fuzzy human layer on top. If it can only do #1, then knowledge workers will still spend a lot of effort doing #2 and figuring out how to turn insights from #1 into cashflow.
Here's the abstract: https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20343/presentation/37...

This is a very surprising result, and it's hard to know how to interpret this with just the abstract and not a full paper. They used a survey where data collection started in 2003, well before intermittent fasting was all that popular. So my first question is what fraction of people fasting for 16+ hours per day were doing it intentionally vs. unintentionally. It's well known that loss of appetite is a poor prognostic factor for people with end-stage diseases. There's also the question of what proportion of people were involuntarily fasting due to lack of access to food. So if the study includes people who are unintentionally fasting, that's a major confounder.
Im sorry for dumb lazy question. But would the input require more than one image? Is there a demo url to test this? I think it might jsut be time to buy a 3d printer.

EDIT> Does "single image inputs" mean more than one image?
In the late 90s I was in an introduction class to programming in C. I kept making memory allocation mistakes that crashed the machine.

My mentor: "Don't worry, by the time you graduate, you don't have to program, the world will soon be modeling software".

We'd go from 3G languages to 4G and beyond.

That never happened. Three decades have passed and we still develop at an obscenely low abstraction level. If anything, complexity has increased.

At the end of the day though, the point of computing is that the machine does what we want. Expressing this via a programming language where very expensive humans write text files is not necessarily to last forever.

To me the much more interesting threat is regarding purpose. As AI becomes ever more capable, an increasing amount of things become pointless.

If using AI I have the power of 50 programmers at my fingertips, how could one possibly develop anything sustainable and unique? Anybody else can trivially make the same thing.

What would set something apart if effort no longer is a major factor? Creativity? Easy to just replicate/steal.
Looks like you have to use a bolt to deload, replace and then load a spring. With the risk being you overload it and it snaps in your face?

Accessibility is not always cheap and easy. I am only saying it isn’t more expensive if you know what you are doing.

In my 15 year career as a JavaScript developer all the biggest failures were directly attributed to poor training and leadership qualifying low standards. At some point people would do themselves a huge service by admitting they are too lazy/inept to train their staff and they deliver shit as a result. I got tired of all the weak excuses so now I do something else for a living.
Vitamin D production from skin UV exposure is self-regulated.

UV irradiation converts 7-DHC to pre-D3, but continued exposure to UV-B converts pre-D3 to lumisterol and tachysterol.

As pre-D3 levels fall, lumisterol and tachysterol can be converted back into pre-D3 or shed with dead skin.

Pre-D3 is slowly converted to D3 with heat exposure.
You can't use them - other tools that match most of the functionality without including AI tools will emerge and take over the market if this is an important thing to people... alternatively Adobe wises up and rolls back AI stuff or isolates it into consumer-level only things that mark images as tainted.
This is a great point and I don’t know. We are entering a strange and seemingly totally untrustworthy world. I wouldn’t want to have to litigate all this.

> Creators must disclose content that [...] Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn't actually occur

This may spoil the fun in some 3D rendered scenes. For example, I remember there was much discussion on whether a robot throwing a bowling ball was real or not[1].

Part of the problem has to do with all the original tags (e.g. "#rendering3d") being lost when the video spread through various platforms. The same problem will happen with Youtube -- creators may disclose everything, but after a few rounds through reddit and back, whatever disclosure and credit that was in the original video will be lost.

I don't know the gear JetSplash uses, but the link below looks roughly the same as what I've seen them use. They claim 400-800 car per day.

I've seen other sites state up to 120 cars per hour. Assuming 750/day @ $20 wash, that's an annual gross of about $5.5M. I doubt they're running at that rate consistently, just at peak. But I would be surprised if $2M wasn't the average in town. That's pretty good for a low labor enterprise.

Not at all. Suboptimal, but far better than taking nothing at all.

There are loads of nutrients that technically compete for absorption, but generally it isn’t a concern unless you are taking a huge dose of one. Even then, it’s not like little dog is completely blocked. I’d have to look at the studies the above comment is referencing to determine how much of a concern it actually would be.

Even if taking both together was 30% less effective than taking them apart, in the context that getting people to take a single pill daily with regard to timing is hard enough, it’s still a overall win. That said, I would agree such a situation should be reflected on the label.

Probably not. Fiberglass has been studied for carcinogenicity specifically based on the experience with asbestos: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/fiberglass-insulat... ("Fibers deposited in the deepest parts of the lungs where gas exchange occurs are removed more slowly by special cells called macrophages. Macrophages can engulf the fibers and move them to the mucous layer and the larynx where they can be swallowed. Swallowed fibers and macrophages are excreted in the feces within a few days.

Synthetic vitreous fibers deposited in the gas exchange area of the lungs also slowly dissolve in lung fluid. Fibers that are partially dissolved in lung fluid are more easily broken into shorter fibers. Shorter fibers are more easily engulfed by macrophages and removed from the lung than long fibers.").

We also have been unable to find clear evidence of health harms in longitudinal studies of fiberglass manufacturing workers: https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/ToxProfiles/tp161-c2.pdf ("Studies of workers predominantly involved in the
manufacture of fibrous glass, rock wools, or slag wools have focused on the prevalence of respiratory
symptoms through the administration of questionnaires, pulmonary function testing, and chest x-ray
examinations. In general, these studies reported no consistent evidence for increased prevalence of
adverse respiratory symptoms, abnormal pulmonary functions, or chest x-ray abnormalities; however, one
study reported altered pulmonary function (decreased forced expiratory volume in 1 second) in a group of
Danish insulation workers compared with a group of bus drivers.").
