Back in the 56k days, there was a service with a slider for changing the image compression upstream. So, you could get JPEG fried versions of the http (no S) and it felt much more snappy.
Starlink announced a $5/month plan that gives unlimited usage at 500kbits/s. Modern apps and web pages would immediately back up every buffer and make for a painful experience, but it is fun to consider optimizing inside that tight box (in the 90s, 4x ISDN was high end!).

True art neither imitates nor cause life. It lies in a liminal space between our dreams, nightmares, and SaaS.
"Vibe checks" are great—until you need to scale. In this clip, @HamelHusain and @sh_reya break down why relying on human intuition isn’t enough when it comes to evaluating product or model quality at scale. Instead, they explain how to codify those gut checks into scalable,

Just affirming that I want my tax dollars funding this kind of research.
1/. Can we teach a motion model to "dance like a chicken".Or better:. Can LoRA help motion diffusion models learn expressive, editable styles without forgetting how to move?.Led by @HSawdayee, @chuan_guo92603, we explore this in our latest work. 🎥 🧵👇
