This is definitely something I've always thought about doing once I retire (if my generation gets to retire).
Just seems like the ideal way to spend the last period of your life; quietly making the small mechanical pieces and hopefully finally assembling something to be left behind.
Though I don't imagine I'd ever be able to produce something as small, accurate or intricate as these students are able to.
Many modern watch parts are CNC machined, often the finishing is done by hand such as zaratsu polishing - but even that is a repetitive motion that can be mechanised.
I would not be surprised if given enough time even what we have today - a decent VLA model + some other specialised models, 6-axis CNC machine, an SMD pick and place etc would be capable of designing, manufacturing and assembling a mechanical watch.
But it's not hard to OCR? And I don't know why the article dedicates an entire section to it.
On a Samsung S24U I held down the "circle to search" homescreen button which brings up the AI tools interface (I don't know what it's officially called), held down on the text and copied the whole thing in one shot.
I can totally get the "don't tell people to kill themselves" aspect of these models, but certain parts of the Internet have been telling people that for decades.
Certainly the models should be trained/tuned to avoid conversations like that wherever possible and redirect people to get the help they need...but that's exactly the problem; doing that is MORE than what the state and the strangers surrounding a person would do. That's the problem, a mental health crisis that is ignored, particularly in men.
Not to mention missing out on new features like Roborock's rover, etc. That's not gonna come to anything DIY (well DIY from a kit...is that _really_ DIY) any time soon.
I wouldn't think that the copy of some movie Netflix is streaming to me will be 60-100GB over the duration of the movie. Not to mention when their services have issues and you're watching 5-10 minutes of low quality content until it settles and snaps up to full (streaming) quality.
Millennials never spent like >6-8 hours a day on phones doing nothing productive.
Yes, as adults we now spend loads of time in our places of work on devices but generally in the pursuits of doing productive things.
And while I haven't looked up the stats, I don't feel like it's exceedingly more dangerous for kids to play outside today than it was back in the 00's, 90's, 90's etc. I just feel as though we're more aware of the dangers of what _could_ happen to kids - all of which is a facet of the media/social media pressure and scaremongering.
Plus there are still loads of feral kids allowed to roam around and be little shits anyway.
I mean I believe in protecting your company's IP, but IP and patent law is absurd these days, designed to protect investors and their fake money rather than actual inventors (who usually get no proceeds/are shafted).
They trained from the internet, so if someone trains from them it's fair game. Their clever tech should be in the mechanism with which it uses to provide an answer, not the answer itself.
Yes, for actresses _and_ actors I'm sure you'd get the same level of performance as you would for any facial recognition use case. You can't do facial recognition on someone's back, but I'm sure there are other techniques/models that can be applied, many people have unique marks/features etc.
They were having availability issues with GPUs (of course) but especially their UI where you'd customise a template only to try to start a pod, the GPU be unavailable and the UI reset forcing you to make the changes all over again.
But they have fixed that since, now starting a pod is more from a live page where as GPU availability status changes it updates in realtime/if your deploy fails you just try again - your customised env vars etc are still there.
Plus they also addressed the GPU availability problem as something they're working to fix and it's understandable seeing as nobody can get their hands on GPUs atm.
Look at how many fuck ups there are with basically no repercussions; the dude is still rich.
Is any more proof needed that if you ride the coat tails of real engineers and have a propensity for screwing other people over that that is what success really is for a lot of people in business?
Just look to the number of huge companies with founding members or integral early members being forced out just as things are getting good ($$$).
If only because we're too apathetic to make laws and enforce punishments for the rich and powerful.
People have always been able to be spied on.
But then I watch people speed all the time and it seems to be a common human behaviour to break the rules to the detriment of others when they think they can get away with it. It's disgusting.
