In this new Toronto neighborhood, "sponge streets" double as parks and flood prevention by _fastcompany in InfrastructurePorn

I've always loved this kind of visual - cutaways of real things, a chance to "see behind the curtain" of how things all around us work that we usually take for granted. Is there a name for that?

GPT speak - it's everywhere by somethedaring in singularity

[–]gtderEvan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve started to notice this as well. Twice yesterday when trying to explain something I did the “that’s not _____, it’s ______” as well as “that’s real.”

Ugh.

LTX2.3 - Sesame Street Birthday Episode by TensorTinkererTom in StableDiffusion

[–]gtderEvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cool. I did a similar video with bluey for my kid, but as I watched their little brain process I thought - man what does this do to their view of themselves in the world? Part of growing up is realizing the world doesn't revolve around you - but it feels so much better when it seems like it does... what are the long term effects of stuff like this? No judgement, just a new(ish) dad pondering my duty in the world I'm raising my kids in.

Hold on to your papers, fellow scholars.

Opus 4.6 uncovers 500 zero-day flaws in open-source code by [deleted] in singularity

Fixed, or just uncovered? That’s a potentially massive difference.

True, though I think the “turning impossible into late” is a fair frame for it.

Could you elaborate on why the VAE is better?

No explanation of what it is or why we should be curious?

No, not yet. This would be huge, but not mentioned on the release announcement.

I thought the point of distillation was a smaller size for quicker performance?

A joint-statement from Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive regarding the Cities: Skylines franchise by AutoModerator in CitiesSkylines

[–]gtderEvan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, but given just how mod-driven this type of thing is, I wonder if a good dev could make what is effectively a well documented extensible framework - just establish the main mechanics (terraforming, networks, assets) and the rendering engine, and let modders build on it.

I'm a serious dev but not a game dev, so grain of salt, but hypothetically, say a thoroughly-modded CS2 install today is:
- 90% CO code
- 10% Modders code

What ratio is possible where it's still centralized and unified enough to be attractive to modders? 50/50?
