Yes. Smart frames often provide an endpoint where friends or family can send photos that will be automatically added to the rotation.

Great gifts! (At least for those unconcerned with privacy or security, which is most people.)

It's pretty much exactly a Tailscale exit node, just one that somebody else installed without your knowledge or consent.

"We don't know where the devices that appear to have breached the WH network are located. For all we know, they could be in Beijing or Moscow."

That seems significantly worse.

I don't think this is an immoral application at all from your description, but would that be clear on the receiving end?

That's very old data. In 2026 they reported over 100% YoY growth in AI ordering trends. I've seen >500% quoted.

The success of ChatGPT in this space would support the point that AI ordering is a valuable market segment, no?

Is that true? Amazon reports massive growth in AI and voice commerce. While Echo users appear uncomfortable making big purchases, the segment who routinely use it for stuff like paper towels has been taking off.

I don't know many Echo owners, but the few that I know (n=2) used it to reorder stuff like paper towels.

This was the core premise of your original comment!

I'm not sure how you define algorithms, but I have a feeling it's not a universal definition. I would argue that diffusion is an algorithm like HDR compensation. Both describe well defined and repeatable processes that can be broken down into low-level components with different potential implementations.

How does your HDR algorithm select a exposure curve for tone-mapping? How does it handle noise rejection? Does it apply any non-local corrections or smoothing? Does the existence of these questions mean that HDR is less of an algorithm? Where do we draw that line?

My take is that disclosures like these are always humble brags and/or marketting (look at how much I can afford to spend) with minor complaints rolled in to disguise this fact.

> “It’s too expensive right now,” he said, adding that he knows the amount of money he spends on AI agents is “a crazy privilege that not everyone can do.”

That's probably exactly why. Some of my latest nights have been attempting to prepare a long-running overnight task for an agent.

It was productive, but as you say, it's dangerous to gamble with sleep.

AWS spend and other service bills?

The black and white images are artistic manipulations of the underlying data.

This is the only depth map with a bicycle from the article:

Yes and no. We've been able to generate messy models from photos for a while, but the geometry cleanup process is tedious enough that it's often easier to start from scratch.

> The resulting, although manipulated picture, is deterministic in a sense. As soon as an LLM gets involved it is not.

Monocular depth estimation algorithms are deterministic in the same sense: using the same recipe on the same input produces the same result.

Probably, but that's not what I meant.

I intended to share Wikidata as an example of an ontology that can be reviewed and maintained, rather than an example of an LLM maintained ontology.

I did not do a good job of communicating this, so appreciate the clarification!

> Photography never was.

Yup, and it's a fundamental constraint. Photons cannot be captured deterministically. Lightfield imaging won't fix the noise floor.

It looks like this research applies specifically to AR video streams, leveraging motion to combine data across frames.

I do not believe this technique is used for photographs.

We can and do! Here's one you can help maintain and review!

It's public money. I assume the government keeps track.

It wasn't meant as an attack, but I did want to draw the connection to the author's identity, which I felt explained a lot of the aspects of the article I found jarring. I'll try to reframe it!

That actually explains a lot.

> HN has no recommender system so I dont count it in.

HN front page is digitally curated. HN has an opaque post ranking algorithm.

> How are stories ranked?

> The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way.

> Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action.

Wow, that's not a leap I would ever have made, let alone posted online. The rest of the article felt similar, like it was well intentioned but maybe somewhat unrelatable: hopping off X by using a different app to read/post, quitting mobile internet by mapping every hotspot in town. Maybe it's relevant more as a break from the author's norm?

Of course PMs aren't safe, but the article makes a great point why they're currently more relevant than ever!

AI can now push new features at speed, but somebody still needs to steer those features into a desirable product. Customers will ask AI for a faster horse.

This is why AI companies aren't spinning out new companies left and right. They can obviously push huge volumes of code, but can they effectively manage the resulting products?

I've actually been thinking that designing a Zachtronics-like would be both great practice and great fun!

You're not willing to accept/allow/overlook humanity's environmental impact?

You're welcome to react to my comments as you see fit!

Or the other way around! Radon would have been an awesome name.

Astra > Sol > Terra > Luna seems clear enough to me

Leopard (10.5) and Yosemite (10.10) both came with clear version numbers

Model X and Model Y are siblings which do not have a clear hierarchical relationship

Gemini 4 Carbon and Gemini 4 Argon are rather difficult for me to tell at a glance

Sounds like an opportunity which could end up costing or saving $10k and which may be difficult to evaluate.

Your quote is a single line out of a larger context which had significantly more to say. I've yet to see any indication you understand this or care to.

It's clear you're either unable or unwilling to communicate as equals. Have a good day.

This is the trend of available technology, not a ranking of any particular entry. A great radio show will not automatically make a great movie, for instance.

As an example, while Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is available in at least 6 different forms of media, the movie is by far the worst.
