EZ-Cheeze··on TV backlight compensation (2020)
I'll do it when I can just tell the computer to do it - maybe 2024

It will be interesting to rewatch movies with all the faces blanked out - they're eye-magnets that prevent you from noticing other details, for example in body language

EZ-Cheeze··on Excess Death Rates for Republicans and Democrats During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Yeah, exactly

Here it is stated again

Enjoy

I want to be able to edit anything on my screen in ways defined by me: "hide any faces" "put a red circle around any animal" "hide any word under three letters"

EZ-Cheeze··on DreamFusion: Text-to-3D using 2D Diffusion
btw guys stable diffusion img2img consistently applied frame-by-frame will get us some insane CGI for movies yo

Really good post that makes you think about Platonic ideals.

EZ-Cheeze··on List of human-based units of measurement
In issue 33, Mad published a partial table of the "Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures", developed by 19-year-old Donald E. Knuth, later a famed computer scientist. According to Knuth, the basis of this new revolutionary system is the potrzebie, which equals the thickness of Mad issue 26, or 2.2633484517438173216473 mm,[2] although a digit was mistakenly dropped and the thickness appeared as 2.263348517438173216473 mm in the MAD article. A standardization in terms of the wavelength of the red line of the emission spectrum of cadmium is also given, which if the 1927 definition of the Ångstrom is taken for the value of that wavelength, would equal 2.263347539605392 mm.[3]

Volume was measured in ngogn (equal to 1000 cubic potrzebies), mass in blintz (equal to the mass of 1 ngogn of halavah, which is "a form of pie [with] a specific gravity of 3.1416 and a specific heat of .31416"), and time in seven named units (decimal powers of the average earth rotation, equal to 1 "clarke"). The system also features such units as whatmeworry, cowznofski, vreeble, hoo and hah.

EZ-Cheeze··on Run your own DALL-E-like image generator
Stable Diffusion is free and much better than DALL-E at faces. Not open to everyone yet but getting there.
EZ-Cheeze··on Compare James Webb Space Telescope images to older images
Did the Cartwheel galaxy (and some other distant galaxies behind it) move slightly up and to the right over the time between the two snapshots?
EZ-Cheeze··on How we renamed our Design Converter to Magical Ass
Legally you can't call a company Magical Ass otherwise it would be common like novelty plates

But a company CREATING Magical Ass, this would obviously be one doing perfect CGI humans.

Michelangelo-level perfection and pathos at 60fps+ = direct hijack into the divine experience centers of your brain

Big Thiel truth here, yeah I'm already working on it

EZ-Cheeze··on I regret my website redesign
"I expected the new website to increase sales by 10-20%, but it’s been closer to 40%. In July, the TinyPilot website hit an all-time high of $72.5k in sales, 66% higher than before the redesign."

That's awesome tho

EZ-Cheeze··on Small World: a Marauder's Map for the people you follow on Twitter
Awesome!!

Additional things you could display under the map:

-Breakdown of which countries and cities have the most friends ("mutuals" in Twitter terminology)

-Time to travel to the top 5 nearest ones

-Top 5 furthest from you

-Average distance

EZ-Cheeze··on Making friends on the internet
But think about it - humans will be able to do qualitatively new things with thousands of friends each

I was recommended The Affinities while posting about this before and currently have read halfway through. It explores that question quite well so far

EZ-Cheeze··on Making friends on the internet
Welcome to my friend group

Today's idea for it: friend group multiplayer with increasing numbers required to form a team - everyone continuously invites +1

Lets all the friend groups smear and grow exponentially

EZ-Cheeze··on Making friends on the internet
The internet should be making friends for us.

Find me everyone who GETS ME. I want a thousand or more

Next crazy thing: accurate time evolution of photographed phenomena

"DALL-E + 0.001ms" ran continuously = reality sim

Based on previous frames, it'd be able to predict that two water drops would coalesce within the next dozen frames, a car will stop within X distance of another, etc.

Next frame probability Scheherazade

Algos run the world.

"In bioinformatics, BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) is an algorithm and program for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of proteins or the nucleotides of DNA and/or RNA sequences." - could it be used to identify and group similar structures in NNs? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAST_(biotechnology))

I've been thinking of some kind of visual representation of weights, graphs etc. Images and evolving images as the substrate of the neural network. Pixels on a plane, planes affecting each other, activation recorded as brightness/color. Then we can use visual algorithms like SIFT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale-invariant_feature_transf...) to do cool stuff and grow better and better graphic-based NNs.
