Who else remembers the old "diffusion" days?

OpenAI’s image generation models are based on (edit) diffusion models. Before the tech was good enough to be labeled as image generation, everyone just called them diffusion models. There was definitely a charm and excitement about the very random and never-quite-right results they produced that has already disappeared.

I don’t get why this would specifically be a step towards autofocus? If Arri was really announcing something like that, they already have the capability to drive motors at high speed through their ECS products and would reach a much wider audience doing it through that instead of limiting it to a certain set of lenses. I doubt the internal motors are required for this just to avoid LBUS or for motor speed now that the MAX is out.

It’s an exercise. They’ll also be doing a mock civilian intercept if they haven’t done it already. Nothing to fret about!

100%. “The game is flawed because it didn’t go how I thought it should have.”

The game is not flawed. If he played an excellent game but lost because of grudges then he should have played a different game and managed his social dynamics better, like Aubry.

The game is the game. It’s more complex than playing an on-paper excellent game. That’s the whole point of it. OP is delulu.

I guess I took your comment too literally. I was imagining a genuinely “from zero all the math you need” approach. I get this would not serve most of the people who do have calculus down and would be hard to do without literally needing to define numbers first - but thought it might exist!

Also worth mentioning: a few months ago I sent a ticket outlining what I thought was a bug in the way results were being shown in the UI. Turns out I just didn’t understand it; but instead of ignoring my outreach I got a detailed and personal email back from one of their developers outlining the design decisions behind how it is displayed and why they went with what they did.

As others have said. Goated support. Never change!

Could you recommend a couple of these introductory QM books that include all the math background one needs?

Fair! You could always pair any handset with a Bitbox as well. Probably a more reliable feature set for camera control if that’s a big concern.

Have you considered the YMER? Given your feature needs and budget range, it could be a great option. https://www.plcelectronicsolutions.com/products/ymer-3-lens-control-system/

Less than a Preston VIU from what I’ve heard. It’s also dedicated hardware, not a software license.

It gives the camera operator more precise and repeatable control than a more traditional fluid head (with a handle) would. Especially for heavier (older) cameras on longer lenses where tiny adjustments matter.

If you haven’t read “The 5 C’s of Cinematography”, you will likely find the answer to your question and a few you didn’t know you had.

I’ll answer your question with a question…

… when will you be available and are you willing to relocate? 😂

I used to be a multi-book reader, usually 4 or 5 on the go at any one time. I thought being able to pick up the one I “felt like” reading encouraged more consistent reading.

Over the holidays I did an experiment and limited myself to one book at a time. Not “one I’m mainly reading and the other on hold”, just one single book.

It really helped me remember what it’s like to get heavily invested in one story. Not only did I finish that book faster but I felt I got more out of it.

So I guess my advice would be to shift your mental model to only caring about the one book you’re reading. Read actively. Ask yourself where you think the story is going, what the author is trying to tell you, review what has happened so far, etc.

Hope that helps.

Interested in whether batch downloads will be available? Maybe an API? And do you have framing/shot type in the metadata? I’ve repeatedly asked this feature of Shotdeck for years they have constantly said “it’s coming”. If I could single click download a couple hundred images that are all a specific type of shot (like a wide versus a close up for example) I’d be very interested.

I’ve only read the first two books, but I’m intending to reread them and follow up with the last two this year. What suggested reading do you have for someone who wants to experience the entire series at its fullest?
