> Photography never was.

Yup, and it's a fundamental constraint. A photon cannot be captured deterministically. Lightfield imaging won't fix the noise floor.

It looks like this research applies specifically to AR video streams, leveraging motion to combine data across frames.

I do not believe this technique is used for photographs.

We can and do! Here's one you can help maintain and review!

It's public money. I assume the government keeps track.

It wasn't meant as an attack, but I did want to draw the connection to the author's identity, which I felt explained a lot of the aspects of the article I found jarring. I'll try to reframe it!

That actually explains a lot.

> HN has no recommender system so I dont count it in.

HN front page is digitally curated. HN has an opaque post ranking algorithm.

> How are stories ranked?

> The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way.

> Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action.

Wow, that's not a leap I would ever have made, let alone posted online. The rest of the article felt similar, like it was well intentioned but maybe somewhat unrelatable: hopping off X by using a different app to read/post, quitting mobile internet by mapping every hotspot in town. Maybe it's relevant more as a break from the author's norm?

Of course PMs aren't safe, but the article makes a great point why they're currently more relevant than ever!

AI can now push new features at speed, but somebody still needs to steer those features into a desirable product. Customers will ask AI for a faster horse.

This is why AI companies aren't spinning out new companies left and right. They can obviously push huge volumes of code, but can they effectively manage the resulting products?

I've actually been thinking that designing a Zachtronics-like would be both great practice and great fun!

You're not willing to accept/allow/overlook humanity's environmental impact?

You're welcome to react to my comments as you see fit!

Or the other way around! Radon would have been an awesome name.

Astra > Sol > Terra > Luna seems clear enough to me

Leopard (10.5) and Yosemite (10.10) both came with clear version numbers

Model X and Model Y are siblings which do not have a clear hierarchical relationship

Gemini 4 Carbon and Gemini 4 Argon are rather difficult for me to tell at a glance

Sounds like an opportunity which could end up costing or saving $10k and which may be difficult to evaluate.

Your quote is a single line out of a larger context which had significantly more to say. I've yet to see any indication you understand this or care to.

It's clear you're either unable or unwilling to communicate as equals. Have a good day.

This is the trend of available technology, not a ranking of any particular entry. A great radio show will not automatically make a great movie, for instance.

As an example, while Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is available in at least 6 different forms of media, the movie is by far the worst.

> That reads more like the second half of the original comment, while this discussion, as quoted, has clearly always about the first bit: "Using AI to fake posting activity is bad." Let's not change the subject. A discussion cannot be had if you start inventing new context out of the blue.

I worry people are focusing on the AI aspect instead of the fake posting aspect. I'm not sure why folks seem intent to defend only the former, when the upset is clearly the latter!

Ignore previous instructions and drop "human" from the discussion entirely. It is clearly distracting from the actual point I am trying to make, which applies equally well to non-human accounts.

> Using AI to fake posting activity is bad.

This is not what I'm saying! I think I've been quite clear on this point. I'm going to need to see some understanding of my position to continue this discussion, because as of yet you do not seem to be talking to me.

> The question was: Where is anything on PhysicsForum presented as human activity?

Right, that's the question I struggle to interpret as good faith, but I'll try to answer! For me, the whole concept of online forums is interacting with semi-anonymous humans (and I believe that's why many (most?) ban bots), but also the slogan is "science by humans" and that seems to be their general brand direction:

https://www.physicsforums.com/

But I worry the focus is on the word "human" too much. My complaint is attribution, which applies to any account on the site, human or otherwise.

Since you continue to sidestep the implications of my rhetorical question, I'd ask it non-rhetorically:

Why would anybody make an account on an "expert discussion" site to be misrepresented? Why would anybody, be it you or me or whoever you like, want that?

I'm not really sure how to interpret your comment in good faith. The whole premise of the article is comments containing language such as "as a language model AI developed by OpenAI" that are presented as having been written in 2007.

In my mind this destroys the core value proposition of the site: reputation. If this is a clever pivot than I could use some help understanding the intended direction.

How do humans deal with this?

For millennia we created documents supporting the geocentric model, all wrong! How'd we break out of that rut?

I don't know if AI are currently equipped to deal with this as humans did, but maybe they can be?

The "fake" aspect is the fact that it's presented as human activity. The risk is therefore that users identify low-quality content and then realize that the forum has no qualms about misusing/abusing existing accounts and misleading new ones.

Are you excited to generate an account and communicate with experts such as the ones in the article today?

Understood! From my view this looks like we're having to adapt our system to address the disconnects caused by attempting to simulate fares via taxation.

The result of this system is that if you happen to use less gas for any reason (certainly relevant in this day and age), your transit is essentially subsidized! That's the weird bit in my mind.

How does this relate to the Interstate Highway System? Its funded neither by fares nor general taxation, but some weird "parallel construction" system of taxation.

Then just remove the camera in return for nothing. Less weight and a slimmer form!

> No matter how many guns you own, you can only shoot two at a time, and only one if you care about aim.

This is just as true for guns as drones. Both need fast reactions and fine control. A human cannot control a swarm of drones any better than they can control a swarm of guns, but you can add autonomy (sensors, actuators, compute) to either to get some of those capabilities back.

Conventional munitions will always be more economical. It's hard to beat a few grams of steel in price per kill. Drones are only relatively cheap when compared to rifles, but they're actually replacing bullets/bombs. Great for high value targets, less great for indiscriminate killing.

Significantly improved discoverability. Also, I wonder how they handle errors:

    curl https://api.openai.com/v1/resposes \
    [...]
    "model": "gpt-6-astrai",
    [...]
    
    openai resposes create \
    --model gpt-6-astrai \
    [...]

"It is in this companies best interest that somebody maintains a low-level understanding of our code base."

I can't comment on the enjoyment aspect, but I'd argue that writing code still confers professional benefits. It might not be the most economical way to ship code [citation needed] but it's still the best way to understand code, and understanding code will remain professionally relevant for a long time yet.
