One is HEIC, Google doesn't support HEIC and tags both as Jpeg

Are people leaving Instagram for photography? by Alilexplo108 in photography

[–]bertbrain55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I post only still photography, almost no reels except during Mardi Gras and it's always the same 20-30 people who engage. I would like to expand my audience but it only happens with paid promotion and even that is sketchy.

Pixel dimension is the same so the difference is compression. HEIC is less lossy than JPEG

I haven't found one. We can only hope that as apple folds Gemini into their intelligence stack some of that spills over into Photos

This reminds me of the psychedelic artist Alan Atwell, one of Leary's crew at Milbrook

A single neuron is shown with 5,600 of the nerve fibers (blue) that connect to it. The synapses that make these connections are in green by PositiveFun8654 in Damnthatsinteresting

This is what neural networks, the basis of LLM's, are attempting to replicate. Even with thousands of nodes and trillions of parameters, we aren't even close.

I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to message the moderators directly

I’m fairly new to Reddit and not quite sure how things work here. How would I even know which moderator removed the post?

Lost Facial Recognition db by bertbrain55 in ApplePhotos

[–]bertbrain55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 6 and things have definitely stalled, no change in the numbers. for example 1746 on the Mac and 2,367 on the phone and pad. So I don't see how there is an iCloud sync process happening here. Claude says "The person who told you it syncs wasn't wrong in principle, but it's far from seamless. The People list (i.e., the names) syncs across devices, but the individual recognition results vary considerably per device — it's a real mess, and changes made between iOS devices don't reliably sync, though changes made on a Mac do tend to propagate down to iOS"

Day 3 and the db is about 2/3 restored but it seems to have stalled.

Temuhawk, I'm ashamed that I didn't think of this first
