The new LG panels are bright enough. I think they’re called 4th generation WOLED.

330 nits in SDR is good relative to other OLED monitors and good enough for most indoor environments but not good enough for my indoor environment. Windows are too big and not tinted, just too much ambient light for anything below 500 nits.

This is big. The first really big open weights model that understands images.

How is this different from Llama 3.2 "vision capabilities"?

Guessing GP commenter considers Apache more "open" than Meta's license. Which to be fair isn't terrible but also not quite as clean as straight apache

Llama's license explicitly disallows its usage in the EU.

If that doesn't even meet the threshold for "terrible", then what does?

Why does it disallow usage in the EU?

You'd have to ask EU's regulators why they wanted Meta to disallow it.

Much like you'd have to ask UK lawmakers why they wanted UK citizens to be unable to keep their own Apple iCloud backups secure.

I bet it’s DNS.

That was my bet too, then I looked at ISC and noticed there were PoCs released for critical BIND9 vulns yesterday ... might be related?

Yup! I follow these and I also take walks, those can be helpful to relax and let the mind rest for a bit.

Nice idea, I’ve been toying around the idea of consuming news only once per day. But for me I think I want an actual newspaper with in depth articles rather than short news posts from online news.

The bit about the dog was a good memento mori. You work hard almost your entire life… and then your body gets tossed over the wall.

What genre do you like? I have one but it’s pop. https://suno.com/s/rAz8rUfVst4pw1S5

I like your song.

Suno does have the cover feature, where you can upload your own playing, say playing a simple melody on a guitar, and it will take that and create a song from it, together with lyrics you wrote. So it can be fairly fulfilling. What it doesn’t allow you is full control of the composition. But that’s AI.

Well, that's LLMs. I'm doing a PhD in computer science and music right now, focused on programming languages for music and algorithmic composition. There are other (IMHO) more interesting techniques that can be used in music and that used to be called AI, with which you do have control over and understanding of exactly what's happening, such as constraint satisfaction programming and dynamic search.

Ge Wang (professor in my field) wrote a great article on why LLMs are so uninteresting from a musical perspective. https://hai.stanford.edu/news/ge-wang-genai-art-is-the-least...

V5 could be built different, and it will take a few revisions until they match v4 “creativity” for lack of a better word. What v5 brings is quality in the recording. Less AI shimmering in the background. But yes, I agree the songs are more… flat.

Well, you need a spouse.
