TMPI looks just as good if not better.

Have a look through the rest of the images. TMPI has some pretty obvious shortcomings in a lot of them.

1. Sky looks jank 2. Blurry/warped behind the horse 3. The head seems to move a lot more than the body. You could argue that this one is desirable 4. Bit of warping and ghosting around the edges of the flowers. Particularly noticeable towards the top of the image. 5. Very minor but the flowers move as if they aren't attached to the wall

Disagree - look at the sky in the seaweed shot. It doesn't quite get the depth right in anything, and the edges of things look off.

Agreed. The head of the fly also seems to have weird depth.

DVDs and BluRay should definitely be much more mainstream. They can save you tons of money on cloud storage. I keep hundreds of GB of old video lectures series, books and more on DVDs and plan to move to a Bluray setup soon.

The point is not that the growth of IT spending is bad. That was just to show the scale of spending. The point of the article is that, a billion spent on software could well lead to a loss of hundred billion.

Why don’t i hear news of such failures from India and China?

There are great big software projects and shitty ones. IRCTC, UPI being examples of great ones.

Insurance and RTO being shitty ones.

I had an insurance deadline very near and the payment was not showing up in the insurance providers dashboard so had to do it twice and now it was still not showing up.

Also I have faced huge problems with getting the learner's licence online.

Do let me know if you've faced anything same.

I got my name wrong in the drivers card and never went to correct it. However most of the problems the problems there were administrative not software. I agree both irctc and upi come to mind first as the successes. Insurance, could be a particular company as i never faced such problem. Websites for Tax filing and even starting an msme has been smooth.

meaning? sample size?

Yeah I think humanoids are a pretty fraught area. There's definitely been some backlash but overall I have really appreciated the responses we've got from people. Like, I just want people to care about what we're doing - if positive that's great, if negative then we can learn how to do better. As long as people have an opinion one way or the other, I'm happy :)

I work on lipids and i myself didn't know they could be so much practically important.

Can IPFS or torrent and large local databases decentralised by people be a solution to this? I personally have the resources to share and host TBs of data but didn't find a good use to it.

For that to work, a website has to push a mirror into that alternate system, and the scraper has to know the associated mirror exists.

That's two big "ifs" for something I'm not aware of a standardized way of announcing. And the entire thing crumbles as soon as someone who wants every drop of data possible says "crawl their sites anyway to make sure they didn't forget to publish anything into the 2nd system."

I doubt, as the article mentions scraping the same resource after just 6 hours. AI companies want to make sure they have fresh data, whileit would be hard to keep such a database updated.

This thought came to me as well.

This way crawlers might contribute back by providing extra storage and bandwidth.

Though something like ZeroNet seems a better approach to allow dynamic content.

The real solution to this is for cloud fees to fall by 80%.

Tl;DR - fuel efficiency, and cheaper, more optimal manufacturing.

I used to tutor P5js, that is Processing, to 13 year olds and got them to make games, got their github profiles made as well. Got them to post their games on it. It was a fun exercise.
