Maybe AI can though

kuprel··on Experts say humans could be wrestling AI for control by 2035
Causing an outrage on social media is only possible if the abyss of algorithms there didn’t cancel you too. Easy to imagine a future scenario when someone can be cancelled everywhere all at once, trial by a jury of AI
kuprel··on 80k megapixel panorama photograph of New York City (2021)
Apparently the camera can stream live video: https://www.earthcam.net/products/gigapixelcamx80.php

There would probably be some privacy issues with streaming a city live though

kuprel··on A new vertical farm will grow 3M pounds of mycelium a year for fungi-based bacon
I don’t understand why vegans try to mimic things. I have no problem eating vegetables and mushrooms but I would never eat bacon made of mushrooms. The devil deals in deception.
kuprel··on Mysterious holes on the seafloor
O(n^k) where 0 < k < 1
kuprel··on Quaise Energy is working to create geothermal wells
What if you dig down deep enough to molten rock? Then you're aren't limited by heat conduction of the solid rock, but the heat convection of the magma
kuprel··on DALL·E now available in beta
This one is faster, I ported it https://replicate.com/kuprel/min-dalle
kuprel··on Show HN: I stripped DALL·E Mini to its bare essentials and converted it to Torch
Yes this is the fix for now. I need to address what is actually causing the dtype mismatch

Thanks for the tip! I just updated the colab to login anonymously

candid unrehearsed interviews
kuprel··on $5939 per meter "Audiophile Approved" Mains Cable
You can’t do better than lossless audio transmission. The human ear can’t perceive higher than 20KHz. Uncompressed 32 bit audio sampled at 40Khz (double because of Nyquist frequency) is only about 160 kB/s. Even with 64 bit samples it would be about 320 kB/s. What am I missing here? Why can't a standard cheap ethernet cable be used for this?
kuprel··on Uranus should be NASA’s top planetary target – report

kuprel··on Double ridge formation over shallow water sills on Jupiter’s moon Europa
Yeah and we could still distinguish it from alien life later with genetic analysis

Sounds like decentralized consensus in crypto world
kuprel··on Major breakthrough on nuclear fusion energy
Wouldn't the aspect ratio remain constant as you scale down?
kuprel··on Show HN: "Selfie Fixer" uses embedded depth data to adjust selfies in 3D
We are making a video chat app to correct eye contact with a similar approach. This selfie fixer was much easier to release since it runs entirely on the user’s device and requires no expensive servers. We are exploring options to transmit high bandwidth video that do not require expensive servers. WebRTC is pretty involved and not well supported in iOS. It appears peer-to-peer connections through Game Center may be a viable option. Any tips are welcome

Here’s a link to the Selfie Fixer app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/selfie-fixer/id1591484794

kuprel··on Timeline of the Human Condition
Replacement by AI or aliens
kuprel··on Types versus sets in math and programming languages
I don’t think you need the distinction for the natural numbers. Int32 is a type. The natural numbers are the set of positive integers that don’t overflow the int type used to express them.
