I use a chrome plugin to change the website font to OpenDyslexic. It's Interesting.

Re:Ask HN: Why are AI generated images so shiny/glossy? on Sunday August 18, 2024 @02:34AM (#41280568)
Q: Is AI incapable of achieving sense of reality? A: AI can definitely achieve sense of reality at the current stage, but not a universal sense of reality that applies to any scenario.

Q: From a technical perspective, why do shiny/glossy effects occur? A: Shiny and glossy effects are prominent in terms of signals. Modeling general realistic details is challenging, but current AI has found an approximation. For example, modeling a mountain with every texture and bump is complex, but if the mountain is represented as a combination of shapes, the raised parts might approximate areas with high glossiness.

Q: If we reduce its complexity, can we generate realistic effects? A: Some models trained on specific scenes at https://chatgptimage.org/ demonstrate very detailed, photorealistic results. However, this is limited to those fixed scenarios.

How to expand to more general scenarios: Using even larger models and datasets. This is how Flux achieves its realistic effects: https://www.reddit.com/r/FluxAI/comments/1erpct2/boundary_be...

In organic search, Google's ranking algorithm takes into account various SEO factors like content quality and backlinks. For high-traffic search queries, thousands of websites compete fiercely for visibility, employing all sorts of optimization tactics. Wikipedia, while a treasure trove of information, doesn't actively engage in such SEO practices, putting it at a disadvantage compared to these highly optimized sites.
Re:Ask HN: What is everyone doing with all of these GPUs? on Sunday August 18, 2024 @02:20AM (#41280506)
Different scenarios have varying demands for GPU types. For tasks like model inference or basic operations, a CPU or even on-device solutions (mobile, web) might suffice.

When a GPU is necessary, common choices include T4, 3090, P10, V100, etc., selected based on factors like price, required computing power, and memory capacity.

Model training also has diverse needs based on the specific task. For basic, general-purpose vision tasks, 1 to 50 cards like the 3090 might be enough. However, cutting-edge areas like visual generation and LLMs often require A100s or A800s, scaling from 1 to even thousands of cards.
