XKCD is amazing.

Randall Monroe has provided me with weekly nibbles of entertainment for nearly 2 decades. But this was inspired by his style, not created by him.

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I realize that now. Well done!

[–] ericjmorey@programming.dev 33 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I also did not create this.

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In that case. It's terrible! I hate it!

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 years ago

It's perfectly adequate, i tolerate it.

Do you remember what the original was?

[–] dan@upvote.au 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think it's https://xkcd.com/1425/

In the 60s, Marvin Minsky assigned a couple of undergrads to spend the summer programming a computer to use a camera to identify objects in a scene. He figured they'd have the problem solved by the end of the summer. Half a century later, we're still working on it.

Funny, now it's easy to check for birds.

If by "easy" you mean someone else already spent 5 years and a nice chunk of cash training a model for it, which you get to use. And if you accept that it will not be accurate across all possible species and environments, only very specific subsets.

[–] duckCityComplex@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

You're right, but you could say the same about the National Park GIS lookup.

[–] Millie@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we're teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm waiting for the day Google Recaptcha will ask me "is that traffic light red?" and after a couple of seconds "hurry up, I'm approaching the intersection!"

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

But if my tesla cant go how will hit those last few pedestrian

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

also fooled by drawings and if it's shit enough the model will be fooled by text saying "bird"

[–] ericjmorey@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is original work. The source is in the post.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For a generous definition of "original".

Edit: very generous, since it's just new text on the second panel in https://xkcd.com/1269/

[–] pastthepixels@lemmy.potatoe.ca 7 points 2 years ago

A bit of reverse image searching reveals this was the original XKCD comic (more specifically, the top middle panel): https://xkcd.com/1269/
