This is a monthly column that runs down five interesting startup funding deals every month that may have flown under the radar. Check out our March entry here. In a lot of places, April is not short on rain. It also was not short on interesting rounds to write about, so let’s take a look at a handful you may have missed. What’s wrong, Fluffy? Telehealth has exploded in the past several years, likely expedited by the COVID pandemic and many of us not wanting to do something in-person that we can do on a device. Pet ownership has also…

#lama #inpainting #deeplearning At the end of the video is an interview with the paper authors! LaMa is a system that is amazing at removing foreground objects from images, especially when those objects cover a large part of the image itself. LaMa is specifically trained to reconstruct large masked areas and includes global information throughout its forward propagation by using Fourier Convolutions in its layers. This makes it incredibly effective at reconstructing periodic structures with long-range consistency, compared to regular convolutions.

My DM’s this morning were filled with journalists and friends asking me about a story that increasingly dubious New York Times ran yesterday. This one:I am not going to read Kevin’s column, and I don’t think you need to, either. What he wrote about coding was wildly naive, and he couldn’t be bothered to ask whether the system would even extend to Pac-Man , let alone debugging. His near-religious endorsement of the imminence of AGI kind of speaks for itself, as does his apparent aversion to consulting seriously with experts who might disagree with his panglossian takes. His shtick is…

This week, guess what, we saw more Google search ranking volatility heat up mid-week. Several new studies have come out showing that AI Overviews hurt click-through rates from search results. Google will stop supporting the COVID special announcements structured data on July 31st. Bing said they will streamline their Bing Webmaster Tools emails. Google Posts go missing for all businesses in the local panel, it seemed like a bug. Google Business Profiles get video verification and video previews. Google reported earnings and showed that its ad revenue is up 8.5% year over year. A new report shows search ads grew…
