@matteosalvinimi Sei semplicemente un idiota. Un milione di persone pacifiche. Sei tu il primo problema dell'Italia. Vergognati.

A Roma oggi scontri, violenze, vetrine spaccate, teppisti incappucciati contro Polizia e Carabinieri, lancio di bottiglie e bombe carta, auto in fiamme. Questi non sono manifestanti o pacifisti, sono criminali! GRAZIE alle donne e agli uomini in divisa, siamo sempre al vostro fianco.

According to Hive Systems your passwords should be at least 18 mixed up characters for maximum security. Here's how long it would take a hacker to come up with as many combinations or passphrases before guessing your password [read more, methodology: buff.ly/3Mw5nDM]

@Rainmaker1973 Great content!

The training cost (estimated around 60M $) is quite shocking

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in Minneapolis is the quietest place in the world, with a background noise reading of –9.4 decibels. Very few people have been able to bear it for more than 45 minutes without experiencing discomfort, claustrophobia, nausea and panic. If you chatted with someone, your speech would measure around 60 decibels on a sound-level meter. If you stood quietly on your own in a concert hall, the meter would drop down to a level of about 15 decibels. The threshold of hearing, the quietest sound a young adult can hear, is about 0 decibels. The test room at Orfield Laboratories, like the chamber at Salford University, is far quieter than that. You can hear each grind, crunch and squeak your skeleton makes. An anechoic chamber has an impressive silence because it simultaneously presents two unusual sensations: not only is there no external sound, but the room puts your senses out of kilter. An anechoic chamber is often isolated from energy entering from their surroundings. This combination means that a person or detector exclusively hears direct sounds (no reflected sounds), in effect simulating being outside in a free field. Through their eyes, visitors obviously see a room, but their ears hear nothing that indicates a room. Add the claustrophobic drama of being enclosed behind three heavy doors, and some begin to feel uneasy and ask to leave. And what this kind of room is useful for? Anechoic chambers are designed to stop reflections or echoes of sound. They are commonly used in acoustics to conduct experiments in nominally "free field" conditions, free field meaning that there are no reflected signals. All sound energy will be traveling away from the source with almost none reflected back.

One of the more interesting computer vision papers I read this week: They propose applying the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to medical 2D images. The challenge here is taking a model pretrained on natural images to work on medical images. There is an obvious domain gap. So the authors proposed a large-scale dataset medical image segmentation dataset containing 4.6M images and 19.7M masks, including various modalities and objects. This is huge for the research community. The SAM model was then fine-tuned on this dataset and evaluated on medical image segmentation across modalities and anatomical structures. Finetuning is obviously a big deal here and that's shown through the really strong performance obtained on several datasets. Fun paper to read. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2308.16184… code: github.com/uni-medical/SA…

Excited to see our last paper on #SSM #aorta out! Martino Andrea Scarpolini and @MarilenaMazzoli We developed a novel non-rigid registration method to include also supra-aortic vessels in statistical shape models of the aorta! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Embarrassingly well explained I think

The famed Stanford Smallville is officially open-source! 25 AI agents inhabit a digital Westworld, unaware that they are living in a simulation. They go to work, gossip, organize socials, make new friends, and even fall in love. Each has unique personality and backstory. Smallville is among the most inspiring AI agent experiments in 2023. We often talk about a single LLM's emergent abilities, but multi-agent emergence could be way more complex and fascinating at scale. A population of AI can play out the evolution of an entire civilization. Endless new possibilities ahead. Gaming will be the first to feel the impact.

@sama switching my VPN to Italy from now on

@swbeeton @jamesjansson @sama I think that these people always complaining, actually do not understand the usefulness of chatgpt. They do not understand the conceptual separation between high level and low level work

@jamesjansson @sama Your world view is very black and white, and your experiences do not mirror my own.

heard something like this 3 times this week: "our recent grads are now much more productive than people who have worked here for years because they've really learned how to use ChatGPT".

Another very powerful achievement in AI. Basically, self-supervised training for computer vision models ai.facebook.com/blog/dino-v2-c…

@ultimora_pol Complimenti al fotografo che si trovava lì per caso ed ha immortalato questo frangente di spontaneità.

@ReGiorgio_Primo @ultimora_pol Veramente un maestro del "cogli l'attimo"

First He publicly demands for a 6 months stop for new AI big models. Now he starts a new corp in AI... 🙊

Curious (but also interesting) comment

Btw, ChatGPT is old news AutoGPT is the new kid on the block Read this if you want to stay ahead:
