This is a good point, I hadn't really thought about it but the credibility of photos has cratered in the past decade.

Deepfakes' destruction of the credibility of videos is still worse because it totally removes the ability of a random citizen witness to capture evidence. This has been useful in the past, e.g. for documenting police brutality or just-developing events like shootings.

In a way this is a very undemocratic development -- putting the power of deepfakes in the hands of ordinary people is going to make everybody a less credible witness, no?
Yes, it is a bit unfortunate that many suggest nightly. It makes sense, given that they’re enthusiasts, and therefore know all about the latest and greatest. But, these days, it’s becoming rarer and rarer to actually need it. But that’s only generally; it’s true that embedded often still needs nightly, though that should change pretty soon!

I wish Google didn’t customize results so much; I rarely see anything pre-1.0. It really makes it hard to figure out how to best help :/
Amusingly when I go to their homepage Chrome hits me with NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID. All I know is that I use it and it works, albeit slowly.
Its always funny to realize how "easy" beating human-intelligence is (Chess AI, Go AI, even Mathematical Proofs), but how hard beating human-simple behaviors are.

IE: Stand up on two legs, walk forward, and move these 10 objects from this bin to that bin without breaking any of those objects. Or fold these clothes (surprisingly difficult to get a robot to do that).

We can build super-advanced Chess and Go AIs that beat out the grand summation of theoretical human knowledge (with Chess theory going back hundreds of years, and Go theory going back maybe thousands!!), but we still can't move a variety of objects from one bin to another successfully and repeatably.

-----------

Another funny example: AIs (or various algorithms at least) have solved the object camera tracking problem, but still basically fail at depth perception and figuring out if something is "still" or "moving" based on sight alone.
In Texas, landlords cannot double rent for an apartment. I am not sure what exactly it is called.

But once I was in situation where I had to move but had a lease. I talked with my apartment complex's office. They told me I can give 30 days notice to move out and then they will start showing my apartment immediately. I ll have to continue to pay rent until someone moves in. I paid one month's rent but then someone moved in within a week and they issued me partial refund for that month.

So this might be an option.
> This observation does not lend much credence to the idea that grades are "highly predictive of ability" or that people with low grades "often struggle a lot".

The paper does not seem to control for differences between colleges. It's unsurprising that the predictive value of, say, 3.8 GPA would massively differ between individual schools.
Any gamers or graphics experts here? I keep hearing that Intel's integrated graphics is terrible, yet being a typical desktop user/non-gamer, I've always avoided dedicated GPUs in favor of Intel on purpose. Intel GMAs always offered better battery life, better Linux compatibility, better operating temperatures (and zero additional fan noise) yet they did everything a non-gamer can ask for: hardware-accelerated video playback, desktop effects like the ones Steven writes about, etc.

Recently I looked into AMD's 2400G APU with much superior graphics but I don't understand what is it for. Sure it can sort of run some games at mediocre frame rates on last-century 1080p monitors, but not higher. But everything else Intel will do just as well... Looks like all these integrated GPUs are starved of memory bandwidth anyway. So what's the point of these APUs then? Where's the AMD graphics advantage? And what's problem then with Intel's integrated graphics?
I agree, but would-be fakers should be deterred by the airtight defamation case that would cost them millions. That is, of course, if the plaintiffs can prove the video is in fact, fake.
That seems a little shortsighted. Do you also think climatologists and meteorologists are charlatans because they can't predict hurricanes or blizzards more than weeks in advance?

You'll have to do better than that, because the majority of economic literature does not attempt to forecast movements, it attempts to model them and understand them. The "track record" you speak of is not actually the track record of economics, it's just a meme armchair economists like to repeat (generally without a non-snarky defense of their point).

I believe that the highest lumens-per-Watt LEDs are higher color-temp, sadly, so I would think that the streetlights were optimized mainly for sheer output, and the cold, daylight temp was just a side effect. I doubt there will be a lot of enthusiasm for pulling down new, long-lasting LEDs, but possibly colored lenses could be retrofit to them...
YMMV but yes, for our application they were very significant. In a marketplace app with a significant number of sellers, most queries will be highly selective if only because they'll usually be filtered by seller.

One of the top queries will be "show me my all-time sales". If your only index is time, you will touch your whole database every single time a customer asks for it...
Perhaps; we don't see all the comments. But other people breaking the rules doesn't make it ok to break the rules.
The DC system (the first large-scale system operated by what's now Motivate in the US) has been wildly successful. Most people use it for short-ish trips, and I think it's especially popular for last-mile trips from transit, and for tourists. Many DC residents who use it, myself included, do also own their own bikes, but maintain a membership to bikeshare because it's cheap, and useful in situations where you only want to bike in one direction, or are biking to the Metro and don't want to bring your bike on the train, etc. But very few locals pay per trip -- the per-trip prices are mostly set with tourists in mind and they subsidize the service for everybody else.

Also, vandalism, of either the bikes or the stations, has not been a serious concern, and they've been operating for almost a decade at this point. The construction of both is extremely sturdy, unlike most of the dockless entrants.

I remember getting money from Intel to put MMX instructions into a game and later getting money to use hyper-threading. In both cases, at the time, the improvement was at the margins and not worth the work it hadn't been subsidized. It seemed like the best thing you could say about it was that it didn't work on an AMD chip.

How would someone new to a project who might benefit from looking at historical patches AND the commentary surrounding them be able to access that information in an email-driven workflow? In a pull request model on GitHub, you can go in and view all the old comments from the pull request and get a good understanding of how/why a feature was implemented. Missing the contextual explanation of a feature and only being able to look at the commit history if you weren't on the mailing list to begin with seems like a big limitation to me. Or am I missing something?
No, they didn't receive the TARP funds. Instead they received a $5.9 billion dollar loan from the taxpayer for the stated purpose of developing more fuel efficient vehicles - and, without which, they likely would have gone bankrupt. It was granted with a subinflation 0.25% interest rate and has still not been paid back.
True - and why not, it's their backyard to worry about. It's the lack of introspection in the West that irritates me - any constructive talk immediately gets deadlocked by flamewars on class and race even if great arguments and evidence for policy are presented. Government should never be religion.

I expect Japan runs documentaries on Western countries and their crime too, only with stronger supporting evidence.

Using 2014 (seems typical) as an illustration.

0.31 per 100k citizens vs 4.88 (US) and 0.92 (UK).

Imagine the scale of conspiracy the Japanese police would have to be involved in to make us look good. The main issues I've heard of are examples of police incompetence as a side affect of not having much crime to deal with. This is like how in South Africa the triage surgeons are really good at solving for stab and gunshot wounds. It's a positive sign that the Japan police are lax on recognizing murder and a negative one that the South African ER doctors are some of the best in the world.
Thats interesting. Are you in the US? How are you thinking about the legislative landscape that seems to be eager to classify anything non-pedal assist as an e-motorcycle?

What's the main difference between the library you're building and mail parser?:

https://pypi.org/project/mail-parser/

Since there isn't any documentation, I'm just trying to figure out what's it's actually doing (without reading the source).
I'd have to agree. In fact, I'm actually glad to see some pushback against the seemingly indelible veracity of photographic imagery.

Photos, and by corollary video, haven't been incontrovertible for at least two decades, and Hollywood movies are a clear demonstration of that fact.

We won't really be able to rely on pictures as proof, at some point in the immediate future.

Unfortunately, in an ever-more terrifying far-flung future, where eye surgery becomes sufficiently advanced, we won't even be able to trust our eyes. After that, I think it's probably just game over.

I really just don't have a strategy to countermand that one.

> If we step back from the standard and ask our self does it make sense to compare two pointers which are derived from two completely unrelated objects? The answer is probably always no.

The one big counterexample I can think of is the difference between memcpy and memmove. The latter is supposed to be able to do arithmetic on memory regions, to see if they overlap. Is this article saying that the standard C implementation of memmove is relying on unspecified behavior?
So true! It only worked on example code, it was very difficult to get an improvement in a real world app.
Plus congress decided to start the obstruction program so it was hard to get anything passed.

I think of Coinbase as "cryptocurrency for people who don't believe in cryptocurrency" so it's not surprising from that perspective.
The best solution (IMO of course) is to stop unquestionably believing anything you see, read, or hear. Why most people choose otherwise has saddened me since childhood.

The worst solution is to panic and attempt to ban technology like this insuring that only the bad actors will use it.

I want everyone down to kids to be able to make fake videos to their little heart's content so we can all internalize this inevitable Black Mirrorization of reality.

And your proposed solution is fantastic BTW. Unfortunately, there are more than enough bad actors among us to social engineer those signatures out of otherwise trustworthy agencies and a general lack of intellectual curiosity on the part of most people to even bother to check for such things. Imagine the day we have a video where HRC confesses to the pedophile colony on Mars and coming up next, Trump tells everyone where he buried the bodies, and if people look, there will be bodies there (never mind that they're stolen cadavers). How will people cope with a world like this?

It is almost like we need pop art and pop culture to drive this point home before political mass media does it in the worst possible way.
This aspect is what scares me the most. Nowadays evidence can be easily fabricated and everybody has reason to be a skeptic.

Lots of details to be worked out, but yes there are models in other fields. You bring up a real concern and there are ways to address it.

I'm not suggesting stopping research on this. But the way in which that research is communicated, what the focus is, and the way which particular sorts of replication is enabled or discouraged has an impact.

An example that the HN crowd likely knows better is vulnerability/exploit disclosure. There are good ways to do it and harmful ways to do it.

You can perhaps think about deepfakes as an exploit for the human sensors/cognition that handle authentication.

This discussion about how dominant the NES was in which countries reminds me of a question I've had for a while. Is there hard data on the popularity of each game platform (computer or console, home or handheld, etc.), globally or for each country?

I think the best way to measure it is by software sales. You could also include hardware and accessories, but that would inflate the share of some platforms because of uses beside gaming (productivity and the Internet on computers, or Blu-ray playing on the PlayStation 3).

They are great too, but if you live in a high bike crime area, you don't want to deal with super locking your bike at your destination. Dealing with stolen tires , seats and handlebars is aggravating as hell after the 3rd time.

Also bring your bike on the train, and then going the last 2 miles to your actual destination is pretty annoying too. It's much nicer to just grab a bike at the station and then leave it at work.
