Forget ‘Deep Dream,’ Google’s ‘Deep Stereo’ Can Recreate the Real World (http://www.popsci.com/put... )

1 decade ago from Bookmarklet - Comment - Hide - - [ 1 ] -

"Google engineers are using their layered artificial neural network, also called a deep network, to create unseen views from two or more images of a scene. They call it "Deep Stereo." For example, if you have a photo from the left and right of a scene, the deep network will tell you what it looks like from anywhere the middle. Or if there are five photos of a room, the deep network can render unique views of what the room would look like from other angles, based on what it thinks should be there." - Andrew C - -

I remember in ST:TNG when Picard used the holodeck to recreate a date he had years ago ( http://en.memory-alpha.wi... ) and I thought it was ridiculous, but damn, in the 21st century, Google is already working on reconstructing 3D spaces from photos, and it has a large amount of the urban first world in Google Street View... - Andrew C - -

Wait, Spotify not showing more than the first 50 tracks in the play queue is an INTENDED design and not a bug? That's insane.

If you care about the NBA, you gotta catch up NBA twitter right now, or at least @netw3rk. DeAndre Jordan is reportedly having second thoughts about ditching the Clippers for the Mavericks, and since he can't officially sign anything till July 9th, the Clips are making a second push to re-pitch DeAndre.

And now Chandler Parsons (Mavs player and recruitment genius) has tweeted a jet plane emoji, suggesting he's flying to Houston to un-change Jordan's mind... and then JJ Redick, a Clippers player who lives in Austin, tweeted a car emoji. Greatest offseason ever. - Andrew C - -

After a bunch of other NBA players and owners got in on the emoji tweeting, Paul Pierce tweeted a JPG of an emoji. Sub. Lime. - Andrew C - -

Eating a "lamb over rice" plate from a halal cart: 1. There's so much! I'll just eat half. 2. It was only $6, I can eat 60%. 3. All gone.

The 😬 emoji is officially a sincere wide smile, but Apple's version (which is the dominant one in US usage) is a forced insincere grin.

(Cont) meanwhile, Android correctly makes 😁 a happy smile, leading to weird communication miscues depending on who's sending and receiving. - Andrew C - -

And apparently the Twitter web client goes with Apple's version. - Andrew C - -

Twitter still hasn't added the new quote tweet function to its iPad app, but they did add new bugs, so we know someone's still updating it.

Also, Twitter took out the Discover tab on the app, possibly because on iPhone and Android (phone), the Twitter app moved discover/trending features into search. It hasn't done so on iPad, so now iPad users just don't have discover/trending at all. BRILLIANT WORK - Andrew C - -

Over 200 work emails accumulated during my week off. Wish I could just delete them all and figure out the important ones when people resend.

If it makes you feel any better, I had about 200 from the three day weekend. Some were automated, but a lot weren't :/ - Jennifer D. - -

I wonder what would be the share of Germany's post WW2 debt that Greece forgave decades ago. With interest and inflation.

1 decade ago from Android - Comment - Hide - - [ 5 ] -

https://medium.com/@gavin... - "Piketty: My book recounts the history of income and wealth, including that of nations. What struck me while I was writing is that Germany is really the single best example of a country that, throughout its history, has never repaid its external debt. Neither after the First nor the Second World War. However, it has frequently made other nations pay up, such as after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, when it demanded massive reparations from France and indeed received them. The French state suffered for decades under this debt. The history of public debt is full of irony. It rarely follows our ideas of order and justice." - Andrew C - -

Speaking of "illegal fireworks", why aren't such things given Second Amendment protections?

To be fair, it isn't illegal to regulate firearms more strictly, but in most places we just choose not to. - Jennifer D. - [ 1 ] -
