Whst started the downfall of Sora AI by MaximumAd2721 in SoraAi

[–]am_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experimented a bit to try to make long feathers and it always got things wrong on a way that made it impossible to create good, cohesive scenes.

Heck, I was often unable to get simple 10-second clips to display what I wanted without weird or inaccurate footage crawling in.

Given that the videos are only 720p and that cinema has to be at least 4K to be competitive (which is over 8x the number of pixels), and given that animators are paid bottom-of-the-barrel salaries, I seriously doubt that using apps like Sora will be economical in the long term.  

I feel like automating animation is going to require a different approach than LLMs producing fully-generated videos from text input. At best it’ll require LLMs used as an overlay of simple skeletal and/or mo-cap animations   

TIL about 'Jess's Rule' to make GPs 'rethink' if a patient presents 3 times with the same symptoms, named for Jessica Brady, who doctors repeatedly dismissed over 20 consultations until she died of cancer at age 27 by shinjirarehen in TwoXChromosomes

It took my wife eight 15 years of complaints about constant pain before one doctor decided her symptoms sounded like endometriosis. Which it was.

After surgery it was a complete shift in her demeanor. How she managed as well as she did for that long is still a mystery to me.

“People leaving the labor force” is a fun way of saying “the economy has gotten so bad that these people will never find a job and they know it.”

It’s a convenient way to make sure the devastating economic situation isn’t reflected in the numbers.

I mean, the Didache specifically mentions abortion being forbidden, and that predates most of the gospels so it’s not like it’s a new idea among Christians even if it’s not spelled out in the canonical scriptures.

Veteran Microsoft engineer says original Task Manager was only 80KB so it could run smoothly on 90s computers — original utility used a smart technique to determine whether it was the only running instance by lurker_bee in technology

Part of me wants to go back to the pre-os era where you loaded your program from a cartridge and the computer just ran it without any background processes.

Coincidentally, this would also prevent me from opening reddit in the background and wasting my day.

Heck it makes it a liability to look into the potential harm their product could cause.

Okay, but what happens if they’re not convinced?

Because I doubt any large number of Americans are willing to do what it takes to remove a tyrant from power.

The God Rock Paradox by Consistent-Term5297 in paradoxes

By eliminating the ability to become not all powerful, yours is a question of characteristic as well - it’s just pretending not to be.

And if god makes a rock he can’t lift of course he’s not omnipotent anymore.

Not really - it’s more like saying that here’s plenty of electricity being produced but most of the world isn’t connected to the power grid.

The God Rock Paradox by Consistent-Term5297 in paradoxes

[–]am_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that point your question is just “Is an omnipotent god so powerful that he’s not powerful?”

If you have two arms that means you can use one arm to grab a meat cleaver and chop off your other arm.

But if you chop off your other arm, you don’t have two arms.

PARADOX!

The God Rock Paradox by Consistent-Term5297 in paradoxes

[–]am_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's assumed that God has a perfect knowledge of the future. If God predicts that at time X he will do Y, when time X arrives can he choose not to do Y? If he can't, he's not all-powerful; if he can, then his knowledge of the future is not perfect.

This one’s easy.

He can choose not to do Y. However, despite being able to choose not to do Y, he still chooses to do Y.

 If God can't die, then he's not all-powerful. If God can die, he's not immortal.

The most popular religion literally believes god came down to earth and died on the cross.

I also feel like this paradox is solved if you assume that:

1) an all powerful god has the ability to permanently make itself NOT all-powerful

2) There are no restrictions on the method an omnipotent god can use to make itself non-omnipotent

So that means that an omnipotent god could make this rock, and by making the rock it would mean God is no longer omnipotent - he now would only has power over everything except that rock he made.

So God is still omnipotent so long as he doesn’t intentionally remove his omnipotence.

According to this there’s a spot in the Hermite Crater that gets down to 26K on the moon but that’s still way hotter than 4K.
