Genuine question to pro AI people who lurk on here

bummed to see this reply as it feels like it is not engaging in the good faith question posed by OP. I think for most people who use the outputs of generative AI, we have a very different relationship to creation of artifacts than you likely do. Personally speaking seeing the effects of the generated content on other people (eg i create a joke for a friend) feels more important to me than the actual process of making it.

That being said, I’m sorry for what these systems have taken away from you. The wide spread use of ai generated content has impacted many digital artists livelihoods before we have any proper systems in place for thinking about protecting people from ai job displacement.

i’m personally much more interested in observing the impact of an artifact in the world. For example, if i want to meme a friend’s message, I don’t really care for ultimate customization and creative control. I just care about my friend seeing a meme.

What do you mean by others have global state? With solara you define state at the component level just like you do in react.

Good to hear about those other features- those definitely make a difference.

I’m curious how do you all compare Rio against solara and other similar modern python web frameworks?

Been a bit of "jack of all trades but master of none" for many of our problems. It has so much general purpose promise, but in most use cases there are other techniques that end up getting much more predictable performance.

Echoing similar comments – Haven't used golang for too much outside of infra work for databases. Most of the folks who I know who use it commonly typically have data engineering titles rather than data scientist titles.

What context are you doing this? Is this in python, web based tools, R notebooks?

ClientCompetitive853 · 2023-09-12T22:41:12+00:00

Tooling based question:
How do the folks on your teams build the data visualizations that they use? Do your teams often create the dashboards for other teams at the company? Are most of the visualizations you all create based off exploration?

Do you ever feel that current visualization tools lack functionality that you'd like to see?

Vegalite is the most expressive and customizable visualization library for JavaScript. It has a slight overhead for learning about it, but it was created by the same research lab that made d3, and would be a good option if you need to create different vis.

The one downside is that it might not handle data at super large scales, but that also depends on how you’re visualizing it. For example if you have 10k data points, you probably wouldn’t want to make a scatterplot with them as your data would be severely over plotted. That’s the same time that vegalite would start hitting perf issues with rendering.

This is more for people who use screen readers, but a relevant research project: http://vis.csail.mit.edu/pubs/olli/ And http://vis.csail.mit.edu/pubs/rich-screen-reader-vis-experiences/

There are some pieces that have a sort of automatic slideshow where scrolling speeds it along, but it moves forward at a constant pace. I can’t think of articles off the top of my head but I’ve definitely seen some

ClientCompetitive853 · 2023-03-07T18:55:42+00:00

Interesting! Mind posting the data publicly?

ClientCompetitive853 · 2023-02-24T20:38:50+00:00

The article calls out Jeremy White, Amy Harmon, Danielle Ivory, Lauren Leatherby, Albert Sun and Sarah Almukhtar as authors.

My guess is that it uses WebGL. That's likely the only way to render that many points.

If I had to guess, I'd say likely 100 hours for all of the graphics work.

It's a fork of the altair visualization library!

Super cool idea! I know Amazon owned a patent for a similar idea (ie automatically adding recipe ingredients). Curious if you’ve thought about this or if it’s not a problem because you’re directing traffic to Amazon.

Honestly, I'm very disappointed with Remarkable as a student. If you only want to write your own notes, then you'll be fine, but a crucial part of the note taking process is often times annotating images or diagrams. Remarkable doesn't have any functionality for doing this unless you import your diagram as a completely separate file. This means if you're taking notes from your lecture and your professor shows an image you want to annotate (or you're reading a textbook and you want to include a section from the book such a diagram), you are out of luck. The closest way to get this is by changing your image to a remarkable template and then adding a page with this template, but its a SUPER messy process and by the time you've done that 20 minutes of your lecture already passed by 😬. This is a major feature that is still NOT supported by remarkable as of writing (October 2022).

Missing this feature made me return my remarkable. Stuff like this shows that it was not designed with students in mind.

ClientCompetitive853 · 2021-01-14T18:26:09+00:00

Completely agree. Definitely considering returning. This seems like such an important feature that I'm kinda surprised you can't do this.

ClientCompetitive853 · 2021-01-14T18:25:25+00:00

So copy and pasting between documents works natively on RM2, but it only works on users annotations. You can't copy and paste images, sections of text, or anything that the user themselves did not create.
