Way easier than I thought - and it’s 100% pure bittersweet, no coatings. When you catch the light at the right angle, it’s mesmerizing.
These are the instructions I used, as recommended by @GretchenAMcC .
They are basically: 1. Temper chocolate the normal way 2. Pour it on diffraction grating film.
It was my first time tempering chocolate and it worked!
I was astonished to discover that the structure of tempered chocolate is so fine that it can mold to the microscale ridges of a diffraction grating. It’s iridescent because of the ridges, like a CD. Even a shard is astonishing. All 100% chocolate.
This is the diffraction grating film I used. I bet others would work too if the grating pattern is surface relief and if you pour the tempered chocolate directly on the grating side. I had holographic glimmers after ~10min in the freezer. Flashlight helps. amazon.com/dp/B07CL2MGXW?…
I am so excited. Can’t stop looking at it. I did a dance.
Also note the fingerprints in the chocolate - the micron scale surface structure is super delicate and disappears with even the slightest melting.
Holographic chocolate makes a stunning cupcake topper, although I can see display will be tricky - the colors only show up with strong directional light
Alternate source for the diffraction grating film - thanks!
On an aesthetic level I think the chocolate is very cool.
On an optics level, I’m gobsmacked. Chocolate as an optical material?? 2 micron grooves? It even diffracts a laser beam!
When you do holographic chocolate on a flat surface, pressing the molten chocolate flat between two sheets, it’s easier to see that the grating is a grid.
My rippled chocolate was an accident (some lumps of seed chocolate didn’t melt) but I liked it best. Here’s a flatter one.
Since Delphi is predicting how humans would judge an ethical scenario, it's probably relying on clues of phrasing to figure out what answer the question-asker was expecting.
If you had to specify that you didn't apologize, maybe someone expected you to.
Two studies looked at a combined 647 covid-predicting AIs and found that NONE were suitable for clinical use (despite some being probably already in clinical use).
"Many unwittingly used a data set that contained chest scans of children who did not have covid as their examples of what non-covid cases looked like. But as a result, the AIs learned to identify kids, not covid."
"Because patients scanned while lying down were more likely to be seriously ill, the AI learned wrongly to predict serious covid risk from a person’s position."
Here's CLIP+VQGAN prompted with the first sentence of the book description of @xasymptote's The Fallen:
"The laws of physics acting on the planet of Jai have been forever upended; its surface completely altered, and its inhabitants permanently changed, causing chaos."
