I don't see a link. Post content source is empty too.

Where is that quote from?

Looking at Wikipedia on arrays, I think I'm just not used to array as terminology for multi-dimensional data structures. TIL

Such a cycle is a cycle like any other. It's not "more precise" when it's shorter.

We attribute the 53.8 according to our scale.

MDN figure and figcaption has no mention of changed img alt intentions. Which makes sense to me.

figure does not invalidate or change how img is to be used. The caption may often not but can differ from the image description. If alt describes the image, figcaption captions it.

What the fuck is Lemmy doing, breaking with HTML in code formatting?? Man it's completely broken. I committed sth so it doesn't remove the img lol.

 html

    
<figure>
  img src="party.jpg" alt="people partying" />
  <figcaption>Me and my mates</figcaption>
</figure>

  

So, planned experimentation and availabiltiy

1. PDF editor when adding an image in Firefox 130
2. PDF reading
3. [hopefully] general web browsing

Sounds like a good plan.

Once quantized, these models can be under 200MB on disk, and run in a couple of seconds on a laptop – a big reduction compared to the gigabytes and resources an LLM requires.

While a reasonable size for Laptop and desktop, the couple of seconds time could still be a bit of a hindrance. Nevertheless, a significant unblock for blind/text users.

I wonder what it would mean for mobile. If it's an optional accessibility feature, and with today's smartphones storage space I think it can work well though.

Running inference locally with small models offers many advantages:

They list 5 positives about using local models. On a blog targeting developers, I would wish if not expect them to list the downsides and weighing of the two sides too. As it is, it's promotional material, not honest, open, fully informing descriptions.

While they go into technical details about the architecture and technical implementation, I think the negatives are noteworthy, and the weighing could be insightful for readers.

So every time an image is added, we get an array of pixels we pass to the ML engine

An array of pixels doesn't make sense to me. Images can have different widths, so linear data with varying sectioning content would be awful for training.

I have to assume this was a technical simplification or unintended wording mistake for the article.

From your OP description:

EDIT: the AI creates an initial description, which then receives crowdsourced additional context per-image to improve generated output. look for the “Example Output” heading in the article.

That's wrong. There is nothing crowd sourced. What you read in the article is that when you add an image in the PDF editor it can generate an alt text for the image, and you as a user validate and confirm it. That's still local PDF editing though.

The caching part is about the model dataset, which is static.

Where did you read this? The article says the opposite.

will be available as part of Firefox’s built-in PDF editor

Firefox is able to add an image in a PDF using our popular open source pdf.js library[…] Starting in Firefox 130, we will automatically generate an alt text and let the user validate it.

See also my other quotes in this comment.

They're starting this as an experiment in their PDF editor, yes. They then want to extend to PDF reading, and then hope to extend to the general web browsing.

In the future, we want to be able to provide an alt text for any existing image in PDFs, except images which just contain text (it’s usually the case for PDFs containing scanned books).

Once the alt text feature in PDF.js has matured and proven to work well, we hope to make the feature available in general browsing for users with screen readers.

I only purchased this toothbrush from Amazon because that was the only way to get the water-resistant Alexa speaker that I wanted for the bathroom.

Looks like it's between 6k € and 7,90 €

for ADE - the actual death experience?

I love their music editing. So good. I'm going to watch more of their videos purely for that lol

Damn, that supportive sound and music editing is amazing

That's a problem with the summary though, not with me taking the description seriously.

If your summary misrepresents the video, why include it? It's gonna do the opposite of what you add it for.

Do you watch every video available? I certainly can't. So I make use of teasers and descriptions. That's what they're there and useful for.

Miles is impressed by GPT-4’s […] ability to understand other people’s minds

uh, no, it can't do that

Instant disqualification for me.

The video also mentions the story of GPT-4 hiring a human worker on TaskRabbit to solve a CAPTCHA challenge.

As far as I know, GPT-4 doesn't autonomously do web requests. I assume either someone trained specialized it with prompts and then interfaced it with TaskRabbit themselves - or used GPT-4 to help interface to TaskRabbit too. For both of which their wording is utterly misleading or wrong.

Having to replace half of their installed inventory… That's a lot…

How common is the terminology "red tape"? I had to look it up. Is it more than "bureaucracy" would fill?

As part of a campaign calling on the government to reduce red tape, Alsleben has opened what he calls "the most German of German museums," the Bureaucracy Museum.

Genius move. I think it's a worth move either way. Bureaucracy and the shape and history of it is worth preserving [information on].

Among the objects on display is a 10-foot stack of files representing the paperwork needed to install one wind turbine. Another is a photograph of a mailbox with the label: "Please deposit online forms here."

Looks like it's a 3 month limited activity, unfortunately.

Here's a video tour/intro of the Bureaucracy Museum.
