Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally

    • What are your thoughts on giving money to beggars?

    Jump

  • talk about how the beggars might spend their money on, how they might be lying

    Only thing that I ever heard: they use all the money for alcohol and nothing else (I don't know, cannot prove it)

    they should be looking for a job instead (My commentary: finding a job is impossible for them this days

    Around here everybody who wants to work (and is legally allowed to) finds a job.

    • Did AI voiceovers get much better recently? I seem to be hearing videos with AI voiceovers that have good English and Tagalog pronunciations even when switching between them.

    Jump

  • How's AI dubs in other languages?

    In German: Unbearable.

    No kidding. Each time when I hear one, I wish they have never been invented, and I rush for the switch to turn it off.

    • How do people calculate pi to the hundredth+ decimal place?

    Jump

  • How do people calculate pi

    They don't.

    Pi is well known, up to many more than hundred digits. People memorize it, or look it up, but they don't need to calculate again (unless they want to go to extremes).

    • Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

    Jump

  • humble homelabbers masquerading

    LMAO!!

    • Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

    Jump

  • Because they simply cannot do it otherwise.

    • What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?

    Jump

  • We pronounce d and t exactly the same way, so both sound like d to other people, but ofc we know from context which one is meant, always, therefore to us they aren't the same at all! :)

    • How did websites like TinEye recognize cropped photos of the same image (and other likened pictures), without the low-entry easyness of LLM/AI Models these days?

    Jump

  • I don't remember too much tbh, just that we heard about the theory at university and tried out some of the mathematical methods. They were tiresome ;)

    Today I would recommend to start your studies on the wikipedia pages about Markov models and about machine learning.

    Jump

  • Models were a thing even some 30 or 40 years ago. Processing power makes most of the difference today: it allows larger models and quicker results.

    • Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer

    Jump

  • Do you live in that region?

  • Basically, if you don't have a phone the cops can easily backdoor, you must be a criminal.

    ... and if it's an obscenely expensive one.

    Normal people either can't afford these devices or don't have time for all the hassle of installing and using a rare operating system on a phone.

    • I find reality and the way it works unacceptable.

    Jump

  • Just pretend to get over it, like the others who are so thoroughly asleep and let their lifes pass.

    Or stay awake, and try to make a few things better while you are actually able to, and hope to find ways to accept all the rest.

    • Are there any wrap around sunglasses that don't make me look like a conservative dad?

    Jump

  • "Grandpa,
    and proud of it!"

    • what do you think he was thinking?

    Jump

    • Do you have a "catchphrase"? if so, what is it?

    Jump

  • When a coworker announces that he goes on vacation now (from this to that date, just so everybody knows), I ask:

    "Who has approved that?"

    in a grave serious tone.

    Even if it is some kind of boss of any level.

    Works best in large meetings :)

    • what do you think he was thinking?

    Jump

  • You understand that it's just an animated movie? They do not think.

    • If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space?

    Jump

  • Can't exceed the speed of sound in the material, not speed of sound in the atmosphere.

    Speed of sound in the air is a serious problem as well. It would probably break most rubber bands.

    • If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space?

    Jump

  • velocity of at least 11 km/s, which is needed

    free benefit of the equatorial velocity, which is about 0.44 km/h, so that reduces our required speed to "only" 10.56 km/h.

    How did you go from seconds to hours so quickly? 🤔

    • Using Clouds for too long might have made you incompetent

    Jump

  • You want to hire the "guru", not the "principal". You want to actually ask him to write 0xD6 in decimal, and if he dares to answer "Seriously? Come on now, that's boring", then you hire him on the spot.

    But you can't hire only gurus. You need normal seniors, too. Build a normal team around one guru. Maybe build one ultra advanced team around 2-3 gurus, if you really need to invent new and hardcore difficult stuff.

    Jump

  • interviewing senior security engineers

    Or maybe senior security engineers from 10 years ago were somewhat different from (wannabee senior) security engineers today?

    Did you ask them to write 0xD6 in decimal? 😃
