He updated the video a few hours ago saying that some genius accomplished that

Disclaimer: I didn’t actually watch the video, only saw the thumbnail on my feed

so, train the computer vision model for a gun and train again for a shotgun. Run the two detection models at the same time.

Your approach is the typical “but if you really want you can use an atomic bomb to kill mosquitoes” - yes, you could do that, but nobody is paying $1 mil/year in inference costs (+some expensively licensed software to wrap around that) when it can be done locally with a $300 GPU (+ some expensively licensed software to wrap around that)

Using a LLM for detecting a specific object on an image is possible but stupid: if your object is always the same (like in this case) it’s several orders of magnitude cheaper to train once on that specific object then use the computer vision model running directly on the local server that’s recording the video.

Otherwise:

1. the api costs would be colossal, 0.001$ per each image, at 30 fps it’s $100 per hour, nobody would pay that
2. The detection latency would be several seconds vs almost instant
3. Without internet connection the system wouldn’t work

Use cases for LLM-based image recognition is if the object changes at every request or it’s ultra specific with brands and colors

If I understood right, Clemens tönnies is the uncle, deeply involved in the slaughtering and with the racism controversies. A real asshole. Clemens tönnies Junior is the one funding the software and he sold all the shares of the slaughtering company to his brother a decade ago. Maybe a better person?

Exactly, I could understand it on the huge subreddits with one question per minute, but here is so silent…

Plus, as a user, when a mod deletes a post that I took over ten minutes to write, I go “fuck It” and stop contributing altogether (this also includes replying to other posts)

Wow a lot of those mod-deleted posts were very interesting for me

What does this accomplish?

In the USA it’s easier to buy an ar-15 than configuring a multi material 3d printer to print a fidget spinner

And btw if someone really needs to 3d print a weapon they would CNC a receiver from a metal block using a $500 AliExpress contraption rather than making a single use plastic thingy that will probably amputate your fingers at first shot

It’s a Chinese online store that sells junk disguised as fashion items

Xai valuation before Elmo let his company purchase itself: $200 billion

Xai profit that year: -6.4 billion

Empathy doesn’t even make my list when it comes to an ad

Those aren’t disclosed as ads. It’s scammers pretending to be some vulnerable person crying something like “nobody wants to buy my handmade shit 😭😭 I gonna need to sell my organs to pay the mortgage or my family will be on the streets”

Then you pay $50 for a “handmade” factory-made disposable shit dropshipped from china for $1

It is actually better in rendering Microsoft office files with weird layouts

Also it integrates wonderfully in nextcloud, it’s like Google docs (auto save, history, collaborative editing)

I see it as a funny prank

If you’re a dev you’re using git so you can revert that in minutes

And if you’re a dev you’re definitely not running an agent with rm in the command whitelist

Despite the name, OnlyOffice has no connection with LibreOffice’s ancestor, the Apache Foundation’s OnlyOffice

It pisses me off when tech journalists don’t bother to double check with a simple web search. Don’t even need to actually search, just type in the search bar “apache foundation o” and it autocompletes in “apache foundation OpenOffice”

on something that costs $35k to build, too

i never said that. In fact, openai gives for free 2.5 million of gpt-5.5 tokens every day if you share all your inputs for training.

It was the answer to “why it’s this cheap?” => because it’s subsidized by your data

easy: users pay the difference with their data

I saw this also on second hand items websites like ebay. They use the bots to edit the photo to pretend that they received a broken item And get a full refund.

IMHO it’s trivial to solve: if the image has the genai watermarks (also the invisible like synthid), then the user it’s permanently banned at the first offense

With this pricing it’s a great ad for the neo

You mean with Windows?

From my favorite e-waste retailer I saw that the pricing of surface go 2 and 3 is enticing and I wanted to try them - but with Linux. With Linux is usable, right? Plasma can recognize tablet mode automatically?
