<p>SPOILER!!<p>The general twist is that she doesn’t really come off as the villain of this film (though she certainly does not come off in a flattering light) - her current husband it turns out is actually a pretty terrifying sociopath who seems to possibly have a bit of a cocaine habit (inferred from the excessive sniffles and insane demeanor) - and he really becomes sort of the films main antagonist.<p>All of this is completely subjective so someone else could come away with a different take, but if there was a twist (which I would not say this is a film with an overt twist) - it would be this.<p>For me it was a window into insane wealth and privilege and the types of lives these people lead and the engines that power their sense of self importance and delusions. I do think it was a phenomenal documentary.</p>

<p>Try the Qwen 3.8 flash next model on DwarfStar - you will be very surprised. I’ve been using the 4 bit quant almost exclusively after having DS v4 flash be my daily driver. Qwen is faster and seems to be much better at coding tasks.</p>

(2011)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>There’s a popular hologram by Walter Spierings that I think highlights what makes holograms unique: <a href="https://youtu.be/K-ahG_Q2xRc" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/K-ahG_Q2xRc</a><p>It’s a microscope, that in the correct angle allows you to actually look down the viewfinder and see what the microscope was displaying.<p>This works because the hologram is recording the interference pattern of the photons that existed in the actual scene.<p>I’m really fascinated by these types of holograms and think they hold quite a bit of artistic potential.</p>

<p>Sooo I haven't really been super impressed with the needle models before, but this is very impressive. It transcribed multiple sentences I gave it with complex timing and words and in such a small footprint, I'm super impressed. Excited to see what types of things can be built with something like this, the performance seems very good.</p>

<p>You would probably be surprised by how many jobs require that you use AI - I even had an interview where it was strongly encouraged to use it during the technical phase. I guess what I’m getting at is, for many people this isn’t really a choice.</p>

<p>Huh… I always thought direct satellite connection was one of the things that distinguished starlink from cellular tech like 4g or 5g, and that low earth orbit was what made it possible… what actually makes starlink different?<p>Edit: oh I think? I understand now, these basically relay the internet itself up to the satellites - so your individual starlink dish is still talking directly to a satellite but the satellite resolves your request for a website through these ground stations. I think?</p>

<p>Many people are commenting that AI is just a scapegoat here and really this is a story about military incompetence. What I think is probably more interesting is how AI enables incompetent people to do more damage than they would otherwise. Two things can be true at once, the military can be incompetent, and AI can be used to make targeting decisions that are wrong - we can understand both the new world that we live in, and the absolution of responsibility it offers without ignoring these nuances.</p>

<p>Is that true though? It seems like the iphones are doing some type of skin smoothing algorithm but the Huawei is the only one that actually seems to produce actual skin texture and blemishes. My initial read was that the Huawei was the least processed of the bunch.</p>

<p>It is really interesting to see this claim, because i thought the current theory was that typesafe actually repackaged the work from GLiNER[1] - which does seem to be a closer match, and their original paper[2] predates yours by several years. Curious if you had heard of it before? It is also open source[3] and I think also has some good usage.<p>[1] <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.18546" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.18546</a><p>[2] <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.08526" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.08526</a><p>[3] <a href="https://github.com/fastino-ai/GLiNER2" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/fastino-ai/GLiNER2</a></p>
