Singular Value Decomposition is widely used in machine learning, image processing, natural language processing, recommender algorithms…
Stable Video Diffusion is a good marketing name, but SVD is quite confusing from an academic point of view.
It’s not the best idea to call it SVD, as it already stands for Singular Value Decomposition.
They have 300 facial expressions for that.
Not only that. It’s also a means of long-term tax evasion, by storing works of art in a freeport.
I totally get that. For most people, watch history and relevant recommendations are indeed useful tools.
But if, for some reasons, you want to switch off these tools, the price to pay was a home page full of flashy clickbait miniatures. This terrible home page could have been an incentive to switch history on.
Now, it’s just a minimalistic google-ish search page. It’s an unexpected improvement when they could have done much worse, like a home page autoplaying ad videos, for example.
I don’t understand. Is this supposed to be an incentive to turn on watch history?
I’ve never heard of this. How is it linked to transhumanism? Is it a re-branding? A fork? An attempted to propose a moral stance to transhumanism? Unless they are two rival theories to think the future?
(I’m not a transhumanist)
I think it’s a more global movement.
When I was recruited at my university in the early 2000s, every teacher had an ftp-accessible space with an http address like myuni.edu/~myname. The more techie ones did html, the fancier ones even added css. Muggles would export html from a Word document.
Then one day, the IT department decided to replace this with a “learning management system”. A wysiwyg platform with dozens of modules for videoconferencing courses, homework submission, online exams, and so forth.
Except that the user (the teacher) no longer has control over his or her personal space.
