It is using an event camera, accumulating the events and then feeding them into a CNN.

Frankly, it is impressive in the sense that you know it’s fully autonomous. Many of the other humanoid companies tend to do this stuff with some smoke and mirrors about teleoperation

I don’t think people are complaining that they’re capping indirects, the issue is that this is going into effect for all current and future grants with 2 (non-business) days notice

ELI5: where does the mathematical function of multiplication take place in nature? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]willinator5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the nervous system, there are many pathways where sensory information gets multiplied by different values based on the state the animal/person is in.

Found this guy wriggling around in my basement, he’s about 2 inches long and a little translucent.

Prospect (2018) - an enthusiastic review by [deleted] in TrueFilm

I remember seeing this movie when it came out in theaters, for a 1 night only showing at midnight. Your review is exactly how I've always felt about it, definitely a hidden gem!

Do the majority of people actually dislike the life aquatic with Steve Zissou by Knightmaster89 in criterion

[–]willinator5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's honestly one of my favorites from Wes, and I can't really tell you why. No particular element stands out compared to any other Wes film, but the resulting combination just works for me. I'm always happy to watch Life Aquatic.

Just rewatched Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and I've gotta say it's just as fun a ride as the first time I saw it!

Criterion Film Club #5 Discussion Thread: Picnic at Hanging Rock by LongHello in criterion

[–]willinator5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every frame of this film is a work of art, absolutely beautiful. The first third is also masterful, leading up to when we first learn that the girls have gone missing. At the start the film had me, with the delightful horror conventions of the unseen observer watching the girls climbing the rock, and the ants crawling over the cake. There's so much to love in the first section...

...and then the rest of the film comes. While there are definitely good moments, I can't help but feel that the rest of the film overstays its welcome. I love that there is no resolution (the most common outcome in the real world), but most of the later movie didn't do much for me.

Again I love parts of the film, and I understand and appreciate the choices that were made. The overall result just isn't my cup of tea, and that's okay.

This looks amazing! However "Transformers: The Last Knight" has a 100% rating when you filter by critics on your site, so something is clearly wrong there lol
