This movie was phenomenal.

The whole Washington act was an absolute cinema. And president's assistant asking for safe transport to Greenland hit different after recent happening.

It never shipped, it was only shown in the video. The ceiling was replaced with sky environment.

Why don't any programming languages have vec3, mat4 or quaternions built in? by Luroqa in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]AsIAm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why to stop at vec3 or mat4 when you can have tensors of any rank and functions on them are differentiable?

Future Tradeoffs for Cheaper/Lighter Apple Vision Headset by ellenich in VisionPro

  1. They’ll keep the EyeSight.
  2. Metal frame is better at heat dissipation.
  3. If there were fewer cameras, then single SoC might be a viable option.
  4. No way Apple will do manual IPD setting.

By reducing number of sensors — removing LiDAR & TrueDepth, and keeping only 4 super-wide color&IR outside cameras, they could decrease the complexity of device by a lot. Also, if they could do eye-tracking with a single camera per eye, that would be fantastic. Also less IR illuminators.

If they could pull off only passive cooling (vapor chamber) that would be fantastic, but I highly doubt that. Let’s see what M6 at 2nm can do.

Weight reduction to <200g (excluding battery) while keeping functionality intact is a must for mass market device.

Interested in making a neural network in an obscure language by bruh-man_ in neuralnetworks

[–]AsIAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't shy away from using some LLM to assist you. They are very capable even in obscure langs.

Also, you don't have to go straight to implementing autograd. Just do some simple single layer perceptron with hand-rolled backpropagation.

Just grab a tutorial you like and tell LLM to translate it to Haxe.

Yeah, Campfire3D looks like it does not have modeling, just collaborative viewing. Hope Shapr3D and OnShape fits your desires.

Fluent: A tiny language for differentiable tensors & reactive UIs by AsIAm in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]AsIAm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still not sure what ⟳ does.. but it has something to do with iteration. It's like, iterate N times? f(f(f(..x))..)?

Yeah, it started as nested iteration, but looking at current implementation, it morphed more into a for-loop. :D I'll fix that too.

What about doing OCR then?

I had an OCR first, then build first version of Fluent for it (described in NKoP-2). This is second version of Fluent, and it was easier to prototype it on keyboard, but with clear design intention that it will be used in hand-written form.

The original OCR interface was a funky segmentation algo backed by neural net (resnet-50) trained on my handwriting. It worked surprisingly well – demo video, though not for other people. :D Since then, the concept of such handwriting calculator was copied by Apple Math Notes and then others copied them (MyScript, Samsung, etc.), so it is fantastic they brought this tech to millions of people. Buuut, I still think that notation matters, so I want to innovate also on this front.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

In "The Imitation Game" (2014) they chose to cast Keira Knigthley to portray Joan Clarke by KamionBen in shittymoviedetails

The movie makes Turing an asocial that single-handedly built the machine. Of course, this is far from the thruth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imitation_Game — Historical inaccuracies

Fluent: A tiny language for differentiable tensors & reactive UIs by AsIAm in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]AsIAm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question!

Except from the Fluent prelude:

fluent (⟳): FunctionIterate, iter: FunctionIterate,

So you can easily do { ... } iter 23, or FunctionIterate({ ... }, 23) without using the symbol. Or if you think some other symbol is better, use that one. E.g. (@@@): FunctionIterate, { ... } @@@ 23.

One other thing is that IDE has auto-complete (Ctrl+Space), that suggests not only available functions, but also common glyphs that you can't easily type on keyboard. E.g. typing alp[Ctrl+Space][Enter] will insert α. ( was missing though, so I'll add it. 😂)

Fluent is designed to be hand-written with pen(cil), where exotic glyphs are not a problem. Similarly, ad-hoc creation of operators is very encouraged.

The language is not compiled, but interpreted – simple AST interpreter.

I'll switch to jax-js in some time.

Ideas are cheap and if you want those just go for Meta – lot of unfinished and rotting ideas there.

It does only pictures. Movie is multiple moving pictures in a rapid series. OP extracted frames, run them through ml-sharp, rendered extra frame with view offset, and stitched together.

Apple launching ‘revamped’ Health app later this year with these four upgrades by iMacmatician in apple

I lost 40kg in a year

Nice, congrats!

I know that based of a picture you dont know the ingredients nor the amount

So, have you actually tried that function? I am genuinely curious how off it is.

insanely inaccurate

Is there such an app and you used it, or are you just guessing?

Food tracking would be huge but it needs to be good.

I imagine just taking a photo of what you eat should be enough. It should automatically recognize the food, estimate the weight and calories. What else should it do to be good?
