If Kylo had idolized his grandmother instead of his grandfather… 🤔

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

It's only the 3rd of October and I already heard Mariah Carey at the shops..

Naoki Hamaguchi says Vincent's combat in FF7 Revelation feels so great to control that he is worried a lot of people will just use Vincent and not the other characters! He says you can freely switch between long-range gunslinger combat in his normal form and close-range melee combat in his Beast form at any time.

swear to god, one of the happiest moments ive had in 25 years playing pokemon was when I figured out i had registered my pokémon from my first ever playthrough in stadium and I could retrieve them even though the original battery was long dead

If your kids want video games but you are worried about screen time The answer is simple, give them old school games .@modretro Old games are the opposite of addicting They are sadistically hard and will make your kid rage quit and go play outside Just like 90s kids did

My son texted me: “I just spilled bleach and baking soda all over the floor. What do I do?” I replied, “Throw a blanket over it.” A minute later he texted back, “Okay… now what?” I said, “Nothing. All our bases are covered.”
