Pi, it's you!

I thought this was a pretty good video. 

The only thing that kind of tweaked my brain, was that he mentions having to figure out how to do online streaming. Would've been good to throw out that Plex does that for you, and Jellyfin doesn't. (And maybe mention that Plex costs money unless he did do that, I'm kind of just thinking about now.)

watched the DF video.

i'm a bit 50/50 on this.  some of the before/after shots looked a lot better.  some looked a lot worse.   i dunno what to say about if the lighting is technically more accurate or not but i would say i didn't like the way it looked.   everything became very bright and washed out.  while faces seemed to get more detail they also look like AI slop.  


people often talk about how UE gives all games a sameyness.   this looks like a leap forward in taking the art out of games.   i absolutely do not want my games to be "photo realistic" most of the time.

i just was amused you specified you only ordered one.

Maybe I should have gotten more than 1, to start flipping them for $100+ each.

Researchers trained a humanoid robot to play tennis using only 5 hours of motion capture data

The robot can now sustain multi-shot rallies with human players, hitting balls traveling >15 m/s with a ~90% success rate

Is there a way to run two models in parallel so that the next token can be sampled using both their outputs? Like averaged or multiplied or whatever?

Not that I know of.

Hahaha I assume you watched it as an adult.

I love Incredibles 1 but I last watched it when i was young so I just mostly think "wow those sphere robots are cool! And the lava hideout was cool! And the kids were cool!"

I just watched it yesterday with the kids.  

Genuinely great movie.
