It’s not lifelike if you critique it, and especially if you look at detailed scenes with some distance to them - e.g, if I look at trees in the street outside my front window.

However in my living room during daylight, if I’m using the Vision Pro normally - i.e. interacting with apps, and not just staring at real world scenes to critique passthrough, then it easily creates the illusion that the content is in the room, and it doesn’t feel like I’m looking through a device. It has a long way to go, but it’s definitely capable of creating the illusion.

Instinct is prescriptive. You can muddy the waters with impulses that have been conditioned by experience all you like. You can use your conditioning to override your instinct and do all sorts of unnatural things. That doesn't deny the reality of instinct.

You keep bringing up words and facts. Reality is more than words.
Seeing a large palm caterpillar seemingly OK at one moment, turning your head, and looking back to see it completely deflated as if a baloon, black goo oozing out, with upwards of 40 larvae anchored to it and spinning their heads around as they create cocoons is seriously eye opening.

Perhaps the most hyper-diverse group of animals in the world are the chalcid or jewel wasps. They don't sting, they lay their eggs in others, including others eggs (some eggs of things so small they were only recently proven to be the hosts), as parasitoids (things that kill their hosts). They are everywhere, it's trivial to catch them on any front lawn with the right techniques, yet the vast majority of people would never know they are there. The broader lineage include some species smaller than the largest amoebas.

If you want to see ecology in a nutshell look at fig wasps, absolutely insane, soldier-like males, blind, wingless, ant-like males of other species, variable length ovipositors that let them exploit all different micro-micro areas of a fig. Multiple inter-dependent species on one species of Fig? Sure, why not. It goes on ad-nauseam.

I seldom work on AI. For a few years, my opinion has always been: each wave of AI uses different technology. I don't find a continuous flow in this domain, nor do I understand its underneath better.

So, investing in AI is a large risk: back to my university, the popular AI framework is a neural network, logistic regression, supported-vector machines, etc.

Instead, I spent time working on data infrastructure, which keeps evolving but follows a somewhat consistent direction. If you look at databases, the essential building blocks are identical to those fifty years ago.

I first worked on Apache Flink and became a committer after one year as a contributor. And then Apache ZooKeeper and Curator, so did become a committer / PMC member. Later TiDB / TiKV and now GreptimeDB. The knowledge and experience is reusable.
Is the text prompt input the only common thing between SD and MIT models when comparing outputs?

If so I am surprised at how SIMILAR the outputs of both models look in the general layout / framing / composition of the image.

How can for example both fox astronaut images have near identical backdrop of earth and earth alone on the same side of image at same apparent size. Virtually the same shade of deep blue for deep space.

"Lightshow at the Dolomities" output is virtually identical. So similar that they almost look like iPhone versus Samsung Galaxy camera comparison shots of same scene (I am exaggerating of course but almost there).

What results in such a close similarity in outputs? Same training data set?

It is almost like they have the same DNA!
> I owned one and this article is perfectly accurate. This guy hit the nail on the head on everything.

Strangely enough, I don't own one, but just assumed this guy had hit the nail on the head with everything. Everything else I've read felt like it was pushing an agenda, this guy's writing just seemed like it was accurately weighing the pros and cons as he saw them.
Very true. I guess the challenge is to balance, if it's at all possible, the needs of humans and/or other species with that of the overall ecosystem. For example, in India there is a massive program underway to connect the various rivers across the country to alleviate drinking water shortages and increase the use of inland waterways for transportation. However, the net ecological impact of the program is not known. I doubt it is possible to really calculate, in advance, the impact of such programs.
They were, at one point, overpriced, but in fairness at that point in time all other new cars were also overpriced.

The current price is very, very attractive for what you get. The car lies on range only in one particular indicator, the "main" indicator, which is actually in a pretty small font on the screen, and you can get rid of the range indicator by tapping it once. The range estimate given in the trip navigation system is very accurate.
Sony through their choices also landed on a bit of luck. They where cheaper than the Saturn, had a machine that was much easier to work with and where charging developers a lot less in royalties. Also helped that they where out before N64 and with the cost of cartridges.

the ER copay is $250. Then you will be paying for labs, DI, and medications beyond that.

In fact, as someone who has worked as a paramedic for 12 years, and worked in health insurance software for a similar period, I have -never- seen an ER stay that you'll get only a co-pay of $20 for.
>But the tiny parasitic wasp H. horticola appears to have been able to fly or at least to be lifted by strong winds to move between islands on the Åland archipelago

When I did agronomy work in Kansas, there were some pests like aphids (and fungal diseases) that are normally unable to overwinter.

Somehow they get blown up high into the air and moved around by jet streams to be dropped hundreds of miles north, where they can become an economic pest but not technically able to complete their life cycle into the next year.

This especially works well with aphids, as part of their lifecycle is making clones of themselves, so just one is needed to cause a local infestation. Often these carry viruses, and the initial effect is random spots of disease showing up in the middle of a field. For pests that migrate under wing power, they tend to initially establish on field edges first and slowly move in.

I tend to use go for "scripts" in non-go repos (typescript, C, etc) just for the simplicity of "you only need to install go" and pretty much all functionality is included in the standard library (usually something like JSON/XML/CSV parsing).

I'm OK with python for scripts, but go "just works".
It depends on what the change is. I wouldn't approve states trialing slavery. I don't agree with the social media law as well. It's a cultural tool, so let parents dictate what they want their kids to see or use. If anything, they could push laws to give parents better tools/information to help them manager their kid's screen time, not just an outright ban.

There is likely a pilot onboard until it leaves the Chesapeake, well past the CB Bridge-Tunnel.

I recently purchased a new vehicle and found a lot of value from a site called CarEdge.

Not affiliated in any way save for I subscribed to their vehicle listing service for a few months while conducting my search.

It’s run by a father who sold cars for a living and now wants to help people save money and better understand the car buying process. He runs it with his son who handles the tech side.

They’ve got a “deal school” that walks you through the whole car buying process. What to expect from the sales and finance people, how to respond to common sales techniques, and how to negotiate for the best deal. Believe it’s free after signup.

They’ve also got a large amount of YouTube videos gaming through common car buying scenarios.

Changed the entire car buying experience. I knew what to expect every step of the way and ended up with a vehicle I enjoy at a price I’m very happy with.

Appears that they’ve started to pivot offering more car buying services for people who don’t want to go through the whole process, but their do-it-yourself materials were golden.

It's just a lot more convenient than manually building pipelines with files that'll be executed.

It would be something different if this was about recurrent tasks that needed to be done, though. But for one-off stuff, your approach seems a bit cumbersome.
There are so many similar diffusion model distillation techniques these days that it's become hard to tell the difference between them, this is probably the fourth example I've seen that uses adversarial loss to distill the model, the others being UFOgen, some other work by StabilityAI on SDXL-turbo and similar, SDXL-Lightning by ByteDance. I found this blog page that explains some of the differences: https://sander.ai/2024/02/28/paradox.html
The amount of "db" to make a link is called the link budget. 20dbm (100mw) + 30db antenna is equivalent to over 300 WATTS out of a 3db standard 1/4 wave monopole antenna (assuming the rx side is equal).

> a gamepad is just not sufficient for immersive VR gaming

This seems strange, since so many folks love giant ultrawide screens for immersion whether playing console or PC and whether with controller or mouse+keyboard. They carry on how much immersion there is, and it's not nearly as visually immersed. So it seems less likely it's about the controller.

If they find the ultrawide immersive, and the controller is fine, why not AVP, since the "look around" control is just turn your head?

Do you not feel immersed when driving a car? You have fewer controls, and can't run around, you just sit there in your car seat, turn the wheel, turn your head, and gas and brake.

Reading your description, the major challenge is about hosting static content with a proper DNS setup.

Then I would suggest you take a look at Vercel Hobby Plan + Godaddy domain. I hosts most of my website under this solution. I ever heard that Godaddy may be an overkill or over expensive, but it's affordable to me and it works, so I save time to do more research.

This is very true. I consider then N64 to be the first to use anything that resembles hardware vague similar to what the rest of the industry ended up with.

It is a shame that SGI's management didn't see a future in PC 3D accelerator cards, it lead to the formation of 3DFX and with things like that SGI's value in the market was crushed astoundingly fast. They had the future but short term thinking blinded them to the path ahead.
Requiring age verification online for adults is the only way to keep kids out.

I think a better way to read this headline is 'Astronomers exceedingly pleased with performance of instrument' - it's finding the types of things they want to look at, where they want to look. If it was about galaxy count - the Hubble Deep Fields found thousands of galaxies per shot, starting almost 30 years ago.
I'm not sure. Adjectives like warm (or maybe smoother and less brittle) usually mean less high end, but I don't think that's all there is to it. I think part of it may be good mastering without overcompression or clipping, and good instrument tone and arrangement (and probably equalization) - with discernible bass, midrange, and highs (though cymbals and high end can get sanded off with repeated plays I guess.) Better playback systems (vs. bluetooth speakers etc.) may also be helping. The number of tracks and stereo image might be helping. And maybe there's some kind of synergy between vinyl-era popular music and its recording media - bands that sounded good on vinyl probably sold more records, etc.

On the other hand, I am sometimes blown away by the dynamic range of good classical CDs.

Also: has FM radio gotten worse in sound quality?
The strategy I possess is to use telemedicine in novel and directed ways when it suits the purpose.

Most telemedicine roles I have interest in start with a very directed patient population and a limited set of interventions. Patients at risk for HIV, obese patients, etc. In this context, these subsets of patients are happy to accept special-purpose telemedicine, in my experience.

I personally would not want to see a primary doctor or surgeon over the Internet, and if I needed follow-up testing in the lab right next door anyway, I would prefer to go in person to both places in one "quick" trip rather than dicking around with the Internet before going out to the lab anyway.

Patients are right to be reluctant. Telemedicine offers a lot of benefits, but it can never be as thorough as time in person with a primary doctor. (But this in-person time is just not possible to get for your average patient in my experience.)

Here's an alternative, at least for now:

1. Figure out which model/make car you want.

2. Make a list of, say, 20-30 dealerships which have that car listed at a reasonable price. (Well, relatively reasonable for 2024, let's say.)

3. For each dealership, inquire through text/email about the "out-the-door" price of the vehicle.

4. Only consider dealerships that text you back with a price sheet that shows your actual out-the-door price. Ignore any that have charges for nitrogen in tires, paint protection charge, door guard charge, market adjustment, etc. Ignore any that string you along without giving an out-the-door price. Ignore any that require you to talk fine details about financing before giving you an out-the-door price. (You can let them know you're open to financing, but leave it at that.)

5. Ask the one or two dealer(s) that passed through the filter above to let you take the car to an auto shop that is nearby to the dealer (within, say, 10 or 20 miles), so that you can get an expert opinion. Any dealer that made it past step 4 is likely to also honor this request.

6. If the feedback from the auto-mechanic you chose is satisfactory, buy the car.

In all likelihood, only a single dealership will pass through the filter. You'll be able to negotiate the price (within reason) over email/text. When you show up to the dealership, they'll honor said price and give you a no-hassle car-buying experience.

In my few experiences with this, nearly all dealers fail very early and very obviously in step 4. So it's an optimal filter. (Edit: well, at least in 2024 when there's still a car shortage, at least for used vehicles.)

I believe this is similar to the Latent Consistency Modeling approach, where it’s a replacement for the “diffusion” process, not the underlying weights. Basically, they have a more efficient process for pulling images out of the weights, not necessarily a set of new weights.

Those aren't factual though, those are one just one side of an opinionated argument. Social media can also be argued to have positive values. IE, I would argue that most kids use social media not because of being addicted, but because they find and form new types of communities:

contrary to your implication, it's not extreme or in any way controversial to say that the jurisdiction of british copyright law does not extend to north korea or in fact any countries outside the british isles

more alternatives do exist than the colonialist atrocities the sky reporter longs for and the totalitarian atrocities kim would love to impose on the rest of the world

one of them is the actually existing system of international relations, in which international copyright enforcement is reciprocal and voluntary

but apparently 'north korea is not within british jurisdiction' is one of the things you can't say on hn because it got downvoted to -2
I just tried on mine for only a few seconds. Technically, it seemed to work. However, because I had to remove the prescription lenses, the device wanted to redo hand and eye setup, so I quickly took it off again.

Notes on the experience...

- On the solo loop band I had to turn the knob to loosen the strap a lot to get enough clearance to position my glasses within the device. The dual loop band probably would not work at all (I didn’t try).

- My glasses are just barely narrow enough to fit within my light seal (25W). It's definitely not a guarantee everybody's glasses will fit into their own light seal.

- Once in, the eye tracking was very off, basically unusable. However, I did not do gaze calibration with my glasses on. That would probably improve things, but I suspect the device will always have issues correctly tracking gaze through glasses because normal glasses lenses can distort your eyes more than it’s expecting.

- There's really not much space between your glasses and the inside lenses on the vision pro. It seems like your glasses would start rubbing up against the inside lenses very easily, causing permanent scratches on one or the other.

So technically you can, but I would not recommend it. I’d rather just spend the $150 for the official lenses.
The lack of media storage was thing that kind of solidified a lot of those issue. Many that worked on the N64 have said that the texture cache on the system was fine enough for the time. Not great but not terrible. The issue was that you were working in 8MB or 16MB space for the entire game. 32MB carts where rare and less than a dozen ever used 64MB carts.
Even if you get financing from the credit union, in my experience you don't have to use it, you can still go with the dealership if you want to

Anonymous phone lines. There was (and still are) many services you can call up anonymously for help. If you’re worried about it being traced back to your phone then you’d just go for a walk and use a pay phone.

The internet made it a lot easier though, and lets people get a lot more help from a wider variety of services (and communities).
