Brain research

I watched a lecture series on the brain and my take away was that we really don't know "how the brain works"

Surprised me how much is unknown compared to say fields like physics/chemistry

Or we could be allowed to use the hardware we purchased how we want?

How is that not an improvement to you?

I guess what I mean is why do other websites have scheduled downtime when AWS shows its not necessary?

Is it just less work to take it offline?

*while you're on Hacker News

Media outlets are not going to just publish a random video with sketchy provenance

Seems like every big jump in improvement someone says "its just a toy"

Its like we keep moving the bar

So do we think this is the "breakthrough" that was mentioned back when the Sam Altman stuff was going on?

Imagine that but the loss function is measuring how "good" you feel via brain signals

And the AI is optimizing the video feed purely for that

What would it generate?

It doesn't need to replace the whole movie

You could use it for stuff like wide shots, close ups, random CG shots, rapid cut shots, stuff where you just cut to it once and don't need multiple angles

To me it seem most useful for advertising where a lot of times they only show something once, like a montage

That's what's mindblowing to me

It doesn't feel like a slow incremental progress, the last AI videos I've seen were terrible

Its like suddenly a huge jump in quality

I'm conflicted though because on the flip side it could open up filmmaking to way more people who don't have the skills/money/time

Like what if any artist could make a whole movie by themself without needing millions of dollars or hundreds of people

Similar to how you used to need a huge studio full of equipment to record music and now someone in their bedroom with a DAW can do it

So if you want to quickly check/reply to a notification you'd pull out ski goggles, put them on, then take them off?

I've only seen it used for static environments/objects but no animation/dynamic objects

I could imagine a hybrid approach of doing the environment with this but other things rasterized as normal and comp'd on top

The big problem though is that the workflow/format is completely different from how current 3D games work so you'd need a lot of custom engine work

I think we'll see some experimental games in the next few years

I mean the salaries have been kinda ridiculous in recent years

Not surprised

They are literally not easy-level

Just take a look at the list https://leetcode.com/problem-list/top-google-questions/

Then why is there hundreds of Google tagged questions on LeetCode?

I like how it reads like patch notes, no BS

Imagine if apple releases had this

Have you tried playstation remote play?

I found it still feels too laggy to be acceptable even at home with the console on ethernet

Like trying to play a multiplayer FPS is so much harder with the latency

> ChatGPT also likes to end on "In Summary"

That always tips me off too, its sounds like someone following a high school essay template

Found this bizarre: the authors response has a whole section that reads like an ad for MATLAB: https://twitter.com/dangaristo/status/1707165711427063902

Not sure what the point of that is, it almost sounds like ChatGPT
