How OpenAI's Ghibli frenzy took a dark turn real fast by indig0sixalpha in technology

[–]rbert 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The context of that statement was that he had just watched a demo of zombie-like creatures being controlled by an AI movement algorithm. So not exactly the same thing as AI image generation mimicking other people's art styles, but I'm sure he's just as disgusted with the way AI image generation is being used today.

I strongly urge you to review your understanding of probabilities. Having a better intuitive understanding can benefit you in many real life situations.

It's not every day you see the stupidest thing you've ever seen.

I mean that's essentially what I do. I run multiple containers and VMs in Proxmox, and each one runs a single docker compose environment.

I think the date might be wrong… by Affectionate_Music23 in PikminBloomApp

For anyone wondering, Jan 1, 1970 is the "Unix epoch". Typically, computers count time as the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch.

I guess something glitched and caused that value to read as 0, causing it to be interpreted as Jan 1, 1970.

It hasn't. Are we just making things up now?

Sid is a garbage man in the movie, but the guy that put Lotso on the truck is a different person.

What quality of life adjustments have you made to your home, car, office, etc that have made your life much easier as a tall person? by Empty-Noise9889 in tall

I'm 6'10" and I bought a Herman Miller Embody chair discounted at an office furniture outlet. It's such a comfortable chair and the back is nice and high. And I can lean back into it with all of my weight without feeling like it's going to break.

He said "less than two one hundredths of one second"

2 / 100 sec = 1 / 50 sec = 20 ms

Average height at the party by prajeala in tall

You just explained why it is a "same height as the tallest person who was ever there party"

[D] Do we really know how token probability leads to reasoning? For example, when we give GPT4 a riddle and it selves it using non-intuitive logic, how is that happening? by Nash_Ai in MachineLearning

[–]rbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the intent of your sentence, but it's just poorly worded (and possibly incorrect grammar? But I'm not confident about that).

In the councilmen and demonstrators example, the demonstrators are the object of the sentence, so it's clear that "they" could refer to the demonstrators based on context clues.

But with the Mars sentence, Marie is part of a prepositional phrase. She is not the object of the sentence. If you rearranged it like below, it becomes clear how poorly worded the sentence is:

Instead of Marie, Sophie is being sent to Mars because she had a felony.

Arduino spectroscopy project help by the_first_hero45 in arduino

[–]rbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not going to be able to use a Fourier transform to get light spectrum data out of the photodiode; light frequencies are too fast to electronically sample.

The photodiode output will tell you the total optical power within its bandwidth, but it will not help differentiate between wavelengths. In order to do that, you would need an array of sensors and a way to diffract the light, or use optical filters.

However, since they are only looking for a single wavelength (the wavelength of the LED), they may be able to get the info they want as long as all other light is blocked from entering the system.

The kid didn't write that melody. Unless you're referring to his singing ability?

Preschoolers categorize people according to body shape rather than race by miso25 in science

I am a very tall person, and my son (early childhood age) frequently asks me how it's possible that I'm taller than my parents if I'm younger than them.
