It’s seems to me that photorealism is it’s weak point, ironically.

Been playing a lot with Photoshop generative AI after watching very impressive videos. I'm not seeing anything close to the videos. It's occasionally magical, but very rarely. Usually it produces unusable results, at times laughably bad. What are others experiencing?

🤖 AI is amazing at accomplish tasks that are automatable. For the 1st time this includes tasks requiring extensive training like medical🩺, legal⚖️ & professional📊 which will be massively disruptive. True creativity cannot be automated and thus will always remain a necessity in our world.

Would love to see it. Is it recorded? Slides published?

Wow. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was a perfect movie.

I think it says a lot that people from privileged social groups are saying the invite system is elitist while people from marginalized groups are celebrating not being constantly harassed on social media for once

unsigned vs signed integers

title: unsigned vs signed integers

panel 1: there are 2 ways to interpret every integer

unsigned:
- always 0 or more
- example: 8 bit unsigned ints are 0 to 255

signed:

- half positive, half negative
- example: 8 bit signed ints are -128 to 127

panel 2: bytes are mapped to integers in a counterintuitive way

for example 11111111 is 255 if it's unsigned, but -1 if it's signed

why are 255 and -1 the same byte?

panel 3: integer addition* wraps around

for example, for 8-bit integers 255 + 1 = 0

for 16-bit integers, 65535 + 1 = 0

*(by "addition", we mean "what the x86 add instruction does")

panel 4: but if 255 + 1 = 0, you could also say 255 = -1

(diagram with 0 -> 255 in a circle on the outside and 0 -> -1 on the inside: it goes 0, 1, 2, 3, .., 127, -128, -127, ..., -3, -2, -1)

panel 5: this way of handling signed integers is called "two's complement"

It's popular because you can use the same circuits to add signed and unsigned integers. 5 + 255 has exactly the same result

Product management is about empathy for the people you serve. The better you understand their needs, the better you can create something they'll love.

How do you keep up manually? It seems impossible to do using the app.

Feel the same way. Everything else degraded so much I forgot what it feels like to be in a community again.
