I feel like the pictures over-exaggerate the difference a bit. The wright flyer was literally made by two people in their spare time while the space program was around 4% of all federal spending and had almost half a million people working on it in some capacity.

These have both been taken with the exact same camera from the same location. The one on the left is with the OnePlus camera app, and the one on the right is from a community modification of the Google camera app to work on the OnePlus 12. The Google one looks a lot better because they use super-resolution from multiple short exposures automatically.

The Google camera app does not usually look better without zoom (in my short time testing) and also has a harder time focusing.

The UI looks the same lol

The layers are the big thing, but its hard to show because the final result looks the same anyways

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

Microsoft had relatively interesting ideas concerning 3D and VR content, then proceeded to do an extremely mediocre execution, simultaneously dumbing everything down while also making it hard to use, and then proceeded to discontinue their software after almost never touching it again for seven years

I have a Reverb G2 (windows mixed reality headset), it is really a good headset and is still competitive with the Quest 3 in several areas for use on PC. The WMR software itself isn't that bad and I think if it had more care and attention put into it it could genuinely have been great. If they had better home options, user created homes, more customization and the ability to fix things in place so you don't accidentally move them, the ability to add (even just user created) minigames and dynamic objects that stay in the world, and (most importantly) the ability to actually invite other people into the space to play with you and launch into other games. They're Microsoft, they were large enough and early enough that I'm sure they could even have gotten game developers on board with some protocol that automatically brings people you're playing with into a multiplayer session of whatever game you start. I think they were onto something with their home system and could have fleshed the software out into something much better than even the modern competition. Of course it's all discontinued now, the latest version of Windows doesn't even support it, I plan to continue to use the old version until it stops getting security patches in 2026 and then switch to Linux where hopefully the open source people will finally fully support using controllers.

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.

I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.

colors rule (lemmy.world)

my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.

They can't. AI has hallucinations. Google has shown that AI can't even rely on external sources, either.

Prompt: A cyberpunk scifi painting of a floating city in the air above the sea

It uses a new, fancier, 18GB text encoder (t5) to follow the prompt much more closely. It isn't perfect, but its much better than SDXL in my opinion. It does seem to be a bit worse at photorealistic subjects and has a tendency to create 1-pixel vertical lines.

Some other images:

impressionist, a woman sits in the middle of a crowded cyberpunk street, people bustling around, orange and blue glowing signs, warm atmosphere

a bright cinematic photo of a solarpunk city at midday, skyscrapers, steel, glass, vines and fields of vivid tropical plants

"you now have to spend more money to survive" -> "people are now spending more money" -> "the GDP is going up" -> "the economy is doing well!"

not really a joke article because the guy did make it, but it also isn't a product, it was just an 'art project' by the guy

I get around 1 image every quarter of a second on my 3060. The quality isn't up to par with regular SDXL (not even close) but it follows prompts well and is extremely fast. Here are some of the best images in this batch:

Prompt: "impressionist oil painting, watercolor, a crying old southern man eats cheese at sunset in front of a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk city"

They massively changed the UI in 2019, in version 2.8. Hasn't changed much since then though.

If you remember Blender having a bad-looking light grey UI and no support for multiple workspaces, that's the old version.
