Maybe I'm just missing info, but it feels like ST doesn't do a great job of capturing the value it creates. We have a bunch of luxury apartments going up in Redmond, with a lot of the value created by the light rail station, but I don't see this money going back to ST?

and then there’s the fun question of who is on the hook for paying for repairs

In terms of downtown wayfinding I feel like a couple of these badbois pointing towards pike's place/closest light rail station/other attractions would do 99.9% of the work of a digital display

Free wifi throughout downtown is a great idea, but in NYC a lot of these kiosks quickly turned into
(a) at best a nice graffiti art installation
(b) at worst yet another thing that made the sidewalk narrower and harder to roll a cart/stoller through

I'm having a lot of trouble locally running llama-2, any suggestions?

They keep spitting and hissing at me whenever I try to chat with them, and using GPUs (grass processing units) isn't speeding up inference.

honestly the most I’ve ever been impressed by an LLM was when chatgpt found a meme I saw a couple years ago based on my my absolutely deranged vague description of what animals / visual elements were in it

Going through airport security, the TSA asked me to “open my burrito” to demonstrate it was in fact a burrito.

For academia (particularly graphics/CV folks) it’s also a hard tradeoff. Why spend time figuring out data capture and low-level camera stuff when generative AI is right there.

You’d be surprised how small the publishing circle of computational photography is. The best/most interesting methods get implemented into products, but if something is too productizable it’s hard to find time/willingness to publish it.
