Adding to the list: The Adventures of Reemo Green. Very funny, and the first time I’ve watched AI video and enjoyed it as more than a technical curiosity.
> The line on the left is a trail of a flying insect, not a laser beam. It is a curved, short line segment.
That photo has some serious fisheye distortion going on though, so the line could very well be straight. Also, flying insects aren’t a common sight in freezing temperatures, and the photo clearly shows lots of snow.
Not suggesting that it is a laser beam, just not convinced that it would be an insect.
It sounded very weird to me too. Perspective projection isn’t equal area. But I think he’s probably not trying to say that the projection would be identical, just that a circle in the center corresponds to one half of the globe.
I would be a little upset if a clamp function could throw a validation error when I passed only numbers. I’ve always written clamp to work even if min is larger than max. Basically, clamp comes down to sorting the three numbers and returning the middle one. I’ve never thought of that as an edge case, it just seems like a more general way to think of the operation that gives you less surprises since every possible input has a well-defined output.
It’s not a definition, it’s an implementation. A definition would be something like ”constrain a number to an interval defined by two other numbers”. That happens to be identical to sorting and picking the middle value. The only difference vs OP’s clamp is that it gives a consistent and predictable result for ”inverted” intervals where min > max, instead of arbitrarily deciding how to collapse the interval.
That's clever, but it's not a common perspective so the behavior you propose might be quite surprising indeed. And moreover it only applies to this one particular function. The general principle still applies in general.
Just got a brand new iPhone 17 Pro. Even in the setup flow there are tons of little UI glitches going on. Layout jumping around randomly, screens resetting awkwardly, icons not laid out well in their buttons. Not so great first impressions of Liquid Glass, and with absolutely no excuses.
This is a serious project that has been going on for over a decade. In fact, it looks like it hasn’t been updated very much for the past four years or so. So, most of the content predates AI hallucinations. If you can point out specific examples of ”alot” of hallucinations and misinformation, that would be helpful.
I can see how the bill itself was a mistake, but the real scary thing to me is the timeline. Seven days from action required to deletion of all your data isn’t reasonable under any circumstances.
Let's be real, when an entity like Slack says "delete all your data," they actually mean they will add a flag in the database to make it inaccessible to those who aren't purchasing bulk data for data mining and llm training. The data will persist regardless.
Terrible article. Did Hassabis really say ”learning how to learn” is itself a skill, like the article paraphrases it? Surely the skill isn’t that you can learn how to learn, the skill is that you know how to learn. Just like ”learning to ride a bike” isn’t a skill; it’s something you do once, leading to a useful skill.
”Learning how to learn” sounds vaguely insightful just because of the repetition, but if you think for a bit about what it actually means it falls apart.
> users come away with a stronger impression of “solidness”
This really is what UI polish of any kind is all about. You feel like you can trust it more, it feels more robust and reliable. Animation and gestures are a part of this, but it’s only the last mile after everything already feels robust.
Before you make it more glitzy you have to make it less glitchy.
> Before you make it more glitzy you have to make it less glitchy.
I am copying this so that I can use it later when the marketing comes in and suggests we devote more dev time to yet another landing page renewal when we are at capacity just handling Bug tickets
That I can agree with. Applying polish to glitchy software is like putting a high end leather interior and soundproofing in a car that only starts 85% of the time and occaisionally opens its rear hatch while on the road for no apparent reason.
