This was a year ago so I used a lot of different models, if I did it now I’d definitely just use nano banana. Just test and see what works, but IMO take pictures from where you’ll physically be most often and optimize for the view from that location. Ie my dining room table opens to the yard, so I sat at the table, took a picture of the yard, and had ai work through that to start.
I've read that compute costs for LLMs go up O(n^2) with context window size. But I think it is also a combination of limited compute availability, users preference for Anthropic models and Anthropic planning to go IPO.
If a person holds a camera and clicks a button, the output can be copyrighted. But if I write a few pages worth of prompts and click enter, it cannot be copyrighted?
It's no different than spending years training a chimp to paint like Van Gogh, its output are not human creations and thus cannot be copyrighted, no matter how much effort you put into training that chimp.
> This appears to be the cost without subsidy, with the mail service now run by a private company.
That just means that whatever it actually costs to deliver mail to/from whatever parts of Denmark they provide service for, the people who use the service will pay that cost plus an additional cost on top of it so that the private owner (and perhaps their shareholders) can line their pockets. The nice thing about public services is that you avoid paying that extra money just so that a small number of people can personally profit from it. You can also lose a lot of transparency and control over how the service is run.
That said, I'm a bit envious of the lack of junk mail.
The USPS is an amazing service. Extremely dependable and affordable. They service places that no sane company ever would and they do a pretty good job. The only real downside is that it centralizes government surveillance, but the same can be said for the other large/popular private delivery services.
My university had Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering and Computer Science degrees (in additional to all the other standard ones.)
Yes it can be done on the state level. California passes consumer protection laws all the time. Some of the recent ones are listed here. The problems is people are waiting for Congress or the President to do something when it could be enacted at the state level first and when there are enough support and consensus could be passed by Congress.
