Narrow AI -- applied to a clearly specified task -- continues to produce interesting use-cases. Here, restoration of paintings. It's also every clear what it can and cannot do.
"In a world where AI models increasingly seem to blur the line between human- and machine-created media, it's refreshing to see a clear application of computer vision tools used as an augmentation of human skill and not as a wholesale replacement for the judgment of skilled conservators."

The image depicts a stunning landscape featuring a fjord surrounded by towering mountains. In the foreground, lush green fields and a small village with white houses are visible, nestled along the fjord's edge. The mountains are steep and covered with dense greenery, with some peaks capped with snow, indicating a cooler climate. The fjord's calm waters reflect the overcast sky, and a boat is seen leaving a wake, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by greens, blues, and grays, contributing to the serene and natural beauty of the landscape.

Bragging about #Linux feels like the most #Fediverse thing you can do.... About two weeks ago, I got around to updating @fedora on my @frameworkcomputer. I tried doing it through the Software app but the update would not work. So I did the Linux thing and updated through the Terminal instead. I'm really new to Linux and I can't get over just how empowering it was to able to do this myself without being dependent on the whims of any company fix a problem.
#Computer #Tech #Technology #Fedora
yeah the ability to solve problems and not just restart your computer and hope for the best AND actually finding useful guides is so nice 🙂
Since using Linux as daily driver I even have filed a couple bug reports on a couple different open source software.
One bug report I even totally forgot and around 1.5 years later I get a sudden automated email about closing the issue because patch xyz fixed it 🙂

in reply to End Israeli Apartheid • • •it's not even an open secret.
Everyone knows. Even in Israel. Israel has even signed agreements with other countries over sharing nuclear secrets and the like.
They just can't say it "officially" because then the UN would get on their case. But it's been said unofficially by Israeli politicians themselves many times over.
