The same was probably said about photography, moving film, film with sound, computer graphics, etc.


No it wasn't; absolutely no one ever thought the issue with films with sound is that their creators fundamentally misunderstood Girl with a Pearl Earring. Some people thought that [new medium] wasn't art, they didn't think it was driven by and for people who didn't understand any art.

I do enjoy the irony though of you copy-and-pasting a generic pro-AI rebuttal to a comment you didn't understand.


The Roche Limit specifically applies to loose, gravitationally-bound bodies.

Chemically bonded objects e.g. solid rock or a huge diamond could approach closer to the planet without breaking up due to tidal forces, depending on the bulk material strength and melting point.


Firefox now has some simple built-in PDF editing tools. Text and images can be added on top, but existing text can't be modified.



What is this trend of the headline, sub-headline and first sentence being totally identical? It feels like I've been violated somehow, like a mild brainwashing. One less reason to click on the article link.


The web version of Twitter/X is an example of this. Way too many modals


The Android app honestly feels like they have a daily quota of permissible user annoyance.


Win + Shift + S allows you to select a rectangular region and copy the image data to clipboard.


Yes. This changed my life. I use it every day.


That could also help tech giants build even larger/more capable models cheaply. Ideally there would be a hard ceiling of LLM capability that even massive amounts of hardware couldn't exceed, allowing inexpensive hardware to catch up.


I personally hope that LLMs have no such limits. The good these tools can do is immeasurable.

I can already run Llama 2 @70b on my laptop, and that’ll look like a quaint old AI artifact in 5-7 years. I think the consumer market will keep pace yet stay well below SotA, just as it always has. That still leaves plenty of room for incredible open-source stuff!


I often hear sound effects from the original Doom and Doom II games in TV and movies.


Especially the doors opening and closing sounds..


It would be interesting to see this concept extended into time-lapse video. The day/night segments of the video could shift to the right with the passage of time.


I think it won't move. As the segment is extracted by current time, it's somehow similar to record a video from day to night. Tell me if I'm wrong.
