I work in an AI company. 99% of our tech relies on tried and true standard computer vision solutions instead of machine-learning based. It's just that unreliable when production use requires pixel precision.
We might throw a gradient descent here or there, but not for any learning ops.
Pretty sure the standard option would remain as well.
However, given that almost everyone is on a smartphone here and hopped up on a cheap unlimited data plan, it's pretty accessible for 99%.
Agreed. We've been safe from all the bullshit here. Looks like those days might soon be over.
Samsungs have this built in natively. Press record. Press pause to pause. Press record for more. Press stop to finish.
If you want the exact UX, then I dunno.
That one is bad, I use this one https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-is-is-even
She's an optional boss. You don't need to beat her to finish the game.
Unsure how this will really help. Anyone looking to really do damage using AI generated content would just make their own fork and run locally.
This content won't have these hashes. Using the hash as a certificate of authenticity could just lead to a false sense of security. Unless we were to move towards applying said hashes to any and all content. Not just one generated by AI. That's a colossal undertaking given the developmental overhead it introduces.
Cambridge Analytica scandal maybe?
Yeah. They ran a social media influencing campaign based data aggregated from approx 270 million people. It's debated on the degree of influence this data had.
One thing is certain though. Around 800 000 people had surrendered their data (admittedly through a seemingly benign Facebook app) to an app posing as just one of your usual fun personality quizzes. This data opened the floodgates through association to about 269 million other people due to the way FB APIs were set up.
This data was then used to create psych profiles that got utilized for targeted advertising.
Two of the biggest campaigns that used this data were Trump 2016 and the Brexit referendum.
Don't worry, the paperback was also made with ChatGPT
Boring meetings and/or uninspiring rote programming: Tekken 7.
Tired: Age of Wonders 4
Chill with the missus: Tears of the Kingdom / Oxenfree 2
I agree. There should be good laws already in place for this. Defamation should do it.
A "technically gifted teenager" is someone with an attention span longer than 5 minutes and a computer with a decent GPU. While definitely a scarce resource, not super scarce.
Running stable diffusion locally is getting easier and easier. Took me about 15 mins last time. I just followed the readme. It won't be long until it's just a one-click setup and everyone can do it.
That'd be like saying 911 isn't good because not everyone has a phone.
Again, it is an additional and optional service on top of the usual phone call. So those who have any old phone in hand will still have access. Just no video.
I believe Spotify did this back in the day in order to hide as much of their AB testing from Apple who is essentially a competitor due to iTunes.
Having much of the UI delivered via web also makes it easier to deploy updates as no software update is necessary.
Sounds like a business savvy approach. You'll see people who want to make content and promote themselves on the platform subscribing.
r/tekken is sorely missed. Same applies for r/starcraft. I guess there is a com for StarCraft, but it seems quite dead.
One could say... The early bird caught the worm.
You're totally on point. Lemmy has a lot of people stuck in the past. It's a significant bias.
The store will garner good sales and the Tekken devs will eat well. This will be enabled by people who see value in their work and happily pay for it.
It really doesn't matter what a vocal minority thinks, when the valuable non-vocal minority is out there paying big bucks for Kazuya in a fundoshi.
In order to reach new heights as a game service, Tekken needs all the money it can get.
People also seem to forget that Tekken started off in arcades. These arcade releases were far more aggressive in their monetization, especially in Korea and Japan. You would have people paying 5-10$ for a couple of hours. Players would also have to pay for their online player IDs.
Tekken 7 still had this business model. The game released for arcade in 2015. 2017 for all platforms.
The game was thoroughly milked before it was more accessible.
The cynic in me says nothing significant enough changed.
Not all Unity devs are small. Especially the ones Unity is prominently targeting this for. A good example is Niantic. They made 650 million in revenue last year.
Unity has a market share of 75% in mobile. Many major mobile titles with hundreds of millions in revenue are Unity. Plus a vast number of big publisher funded "indies", however the revenue to gain there is chump change in comparison. Ranging anywhere from 0-200k depending on annual sales and number of installs.
Unreal's business model is taking 5% of your revenue, which is more than Unity's new cap of 4%. Which only activates at 1 million in annual revenue.
One might argue even that small indies are not small if they reach 1 million in annual revenue. While not neglible, it's still just 40 000 if you managed to get like 200 000 installs.
Obviously it's understandable why devs would rally to the barricades. It's their money to lose. Unity's value proposition is in how much development time they save. Which is often than not worth a lot more than 40 000 dollars given the amount of time it takes to develop an engine.
I think Unity also offers a wide array of added value services compared to Unreal in the form of easy-to-implement IAP and ads. Both are the cancer of mobile games, but also the de facto business model on the platform.
Their initial plan was poorly communicated and shit, but the adjustment is fair.
Love how you're getting downvotes for pointing out the exact reason.
Diversion is often also a means to fund crime and terrorism when done at scale.
In some cases of diversion the product also gets altered by changing valuable content for cheaper ones. A good example of this would be medicine or liqour. Worst case is that the end user gets fake medicine.
Making your product affordable in a region also increases consumer safety as it will curb counterfeiting. In the case of phones this can lead to exploding batteries or electrocutions.
Oh fuck, gonna refactor asap!
Pretty much. Doesn't help that Firefox is the best browser for customizing your browsing experience. So all adblockers are very good on it.
Probably some summer trainee tasked with solving the Firefox + ublock Origin combo made an oopsie.
With all that said: fuck Google for even beginning their crusade against adblockers.
Thanks!
That address is on the money. Bill should be funding local business in Africa directly for the most immediate impact in the region.
His current approach at best helps once the innovations become accessible.
I do agree with Gates in part that hunger is a production problem. Increasing supply lowers price, which would help with food accessibility. It's not a silver bullet and has many blockers, like the issues mentioned in the address.
Somehow this reads like a Mars Volta song and I'm here for it.
Do you have articles on Gates' work causing harm on the food sector? I'd love to learn more.
He had some valid reasoning behind preventing an open source covid vaccine. Whether it was the right call is up for debate.
The most prominent reason that stuck in my mind was to ensure the vaccines were of high quality and made using proper equipment. This is reasonable as a bad one could've drastically reduced trust among the general population.
