Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
As Musk moves on, another failure behind him, chasing the next shiny upon which he’ll never deliver. Let’s pour one out for future investors who will continue to pour money into his ketamine fuelled Ponzi scheme. Chasing returns, thinking of the future, not the trail of broken promises.
Is argentum Celtic? I always thought it was straight Latin.
It was super irritating that Ben Affleck made a film about it that gave the credit to the CIA.
He was basically insolvent when he won the first presidency. He is on very solid ground now. The market manipulation via tweeting alone has produced a fortune sufficient for any regular greedy person.
Copilot is great at telling me where stuff has moved in the interface. I have no idea why developers fuck with UIs so often. It’s also helpful with Excel scripting.
The nametag on the other image is blurry as well. I think it’s scanning artifact since the photo seems to have good depth of field.
I see his shadow. The lighting is front and to our left. Matches the reflections.
It’s a low res copy of a photo. I was looking at the VU meter and the knobs etc. Everything is a bit pixelly.
It is legal sized. I have one. And every clipboard I have had a fucked up clip from being thrown into the truck etc.
I’m sure they were. The reels are in the same position as are the knobs and levels that I can see. Lighting like that doesn’t happen by accident, there will be all kinds of diffusers and reflectors outside the frame to get that look. I also counted videotapes and they match as well. As I said, if it’s not real we should be scared because it’s a great fake.
I hope they’re legit, because these are really good if they’re not. I was looking at the reflections on all the tiny knobs (is there a word for catchlights that applies to objects instead of eyes?) and they are all in the right spots and match the reflection in shoes etc. AI often messes that up, especially across classes of objects. The second thing was that the screen reflections are perfecto. There are some key details as well, like the wrinkling of stocking around an ankle.
The only thing that seems amiss to me is the cables behind the figures are a little different between the photos. If they were taken at the same time, which I think they were given the fancy lighting, why would they shift BNC cables on a patchbay between models? They are very close, so it just might be a difference in the angle, or maybe someone bumped into them and they moved a bit.
This is a mischaracterization of the position. I am not sticking my head in the sand. I am questioning the value proposition of the technology. I use it for some things, and will not touch it for others.
The point is not the retrieval, but the understanding of the information structure. The same way that the point of math problems is not the answer, but understanding the process. There is no advancement in learning by having something sitting next to you spitting out answers.
They’re not ignoring it. They want to fight it. Because AI is not a better search algorithm, its surrendering structure and relationships to an unauditable black box process.
Rather than democratizing information management you are intermediating an untrustworthy, hallucinating, spaghetti pile of code between humans and our corpus of knowledge. That’s why.
Straight Bourbon is a minimum of two years. So six is…above the minimum.
Person. Woman. Man Camera. TV. How hard is that? Correct horse battery staple.
But they seem like iterative synonyms. Hardly unique enough to useful tags for either lumping or splitting.
I can’t think of single useful function. You might as well have generated nonsense syllables and invited us to attach them to words to create meaning.
So what’s the advantage of a generated list over “construction”?
My first flash drive was $40 for 32 MB. I got at Fry’s around 2001. I still have it and show it youngn’s for a laugh. I tell them it’s the only one I’ve never lost because it’s the right size - about half the size of a flat pack of gum.
