Maybe because of the density of the payload? Hiding 37MB of data inside of 178MB of images would not be possible without severely degrading the image quality - and they are simple to check. Whereas the NN model continued to work with very little quality loss.

(You could easily append 37MB of hidden data to some images - e.g. adding an invisible extra layer to the image, but this paper details a technique where you don't alter the file size)

For me in addition to that nuisance you described it also has an autoplaying video, connects (or at least attempts to connect) to 56 (!) domains, with 38 blocked by default uBO. The bloat on that site is just enormous.

On an OS that packages it, it will 'just work'. Both will be installed and a user will never notice. If someone is building it from scratch, the installation instructions will let that user know what is needed.

In this instance, you just get to see behind the curtain because it is open source (rather than some obscure "PC load letter" error one would get on the official windows program), and I think you are extrapolating wayyyy too much based on one error screen.

> No terminal command copy pasting or config editing like this user.

Unfortunately, a lot of the "official" clients do a lot of hard coding of magic values, and will change their API on a whim. For the folks to make an unofficial API, they are now put in the precarious position of either hard coding themselves (and risk it breaking at any time), or adding a bit of flexibility at the cost of ease.

If the official vendors were so kind to not hard code these values (or tell third party vendors they were changing it), this would be much easier.
That's why everybody programs in base notepad, with no syntax highlighting or auto complete or live error notifications or linting or any other quality of life feature.

What you say here is true. Writing code is not remotely the hardest part of software engineering. But that does not mean that there is zero value in making it easier.

Shifting gears is not remotely the hardest part of safely driving a car. Yet automatic transmissions are a nice feature for tons of people.

I do not understand this dismissal based on the fact that copilot does not completely revolutionize software engineering in a way that no other product has ever come close to doing.
That's definitely a good idea. I didn't think about that. Although it seems difficult to leverage my "disability" as a marketable asset - or at least how to frame it constructively.

If Germany or the Netherlands decided to ban exports on vaccines they'd probably have had the highest vaccination rates on the planet. But that would just be selfish. Stifling big countries in favor of a fair distribution of vaccines WAS the right thing.

What if some US state with most of the vaccine manufacturing had stopped the export of vaccine over state borders? Would that be fine by you because it's in their self interest?

Microsoft's solution requires an (near) infrared camera and will not accept a regular USB camera, though. But it does seem to rely on simple facial recognition rather than building a depth map. The main use of the near infrared seems to be to work around lighting issues and simple spoofing though.

There was a school group featured in a report on BBC Radio 4 recently, they did handle quite large budgets, but they were also an educational charity. One of the governor's refrained (paraphrasing) "they must be totally immoral to target us"; I very much doubt they were targeted beyond 'can we exploit this box'.
> No, I'm discussing the dialogue between the journalist and Bezos

Well, yeah, did I suggest you weren't? I'm aware of the topic we're discussing.

>This is a problem because it lets Bezos off the hook about the bigger issue, and passes the responsibility of solvin humanity's problems to billionaires who shouldn't exist in the first place.

Whether or not they should exist is an opinion. The question was about a different opinion that some people have. What makes your opinion (that billionaires shouldn't exist) more important than the opinion that the journalist was referencing (that since they do exist they should use their wealth to different ends)?

> This is the question that should have been asked.

What answer would you expect Bezos to give that would make it a better question?
It could be worse. What if our AIs generated high quality papers?
I'm always surprised at how surprised people are that there is a market for porn. Almost no one would not be satisfied with a generic porn channel that showed random content of random ages, random body types, random genders, etc. Everyone has some criteria when it comes to porn they consume. Some people just have more specific criteria than others.
So, to be clear, you studied and "understood" history and came to the conclusion that nationalism is a good thing. How? It's clear that I don't agree with you. I think you must be too isolated from some nice people to be so furious about other people.

>Redistribution of wealth is _always_ in the public's interest.

My wife is Chinese, and her parents grew up under Mao. Because her father's family owned some land which they rented out to other farmers in their village, in Hebei, they were categorised as capitalist class enemies and persecuted. He was not allowed to go to school, was refused work and he grew up destitute. He still tears up when talking about that time. But hey, apparently it was in the public interest.

Capitalism is based on three things. Freedom to own property and capital, freedom to buy the labour of others or sell your own labour, and freedom of association to form partnerships and companies. The reason Marxism always fails is because it is based on the elimination of those freedoms, putting power over these activities in the hands of functionaries. It takes away personal property; it coercively mandates and directs labour; it prohibits freedoms of association, organisation and communication.

If you want to found an employee owned partnership there is nothing to stop you doing so. The freedoms granted under capitalism are entirely compatible with this. There are plenty of socialists in the world with large amounts of personal capital to seed such projects. Plenty of businesses are founded using loans. There's no law that says startups have to have individual founders, they could be formed as partnerships between the employees. In fact some such partnerships do exist, which shows that the reasons they are not more common are nothing to do with the regulatory environment. However such partnerships are extremely uncommon, why is this?

The fact is most people choose not to take on the risks that owning and running a business entail. They don't want the responsibility in case it fails as most new businesses do, they prefer the owners and investors to take that risk and earn a regular pay packet instead. That's their choice. It's also the choice I have made throughout my career, but at least I'm prepared to take responsibility for it.
I should clarify that keratonic 20/40 is not really comparable to myopic 20/40. I have a lot of ghosting and distortions in my vision.

Keratoconus here too. CXL is more to stop any progression and best when performed early. For the longest time I unexpectedly got by with soft toric lenses.

My biggest annoyance is the removal procedure. But, some days I have better than 20/20.

This is a foolish statement.

The outcome of the overwhelming majority of traffic accident was 100% property damage and 0% violence.

How is that impacting the world negatively?
Thanks for that! I actually didn't think about the name until you spelled it out.
At least with a book, you can skim over topics you already know. It seems like Primer requires you to spend hours clicking past content you're not interested in just to get the learning relavant to your needs.
Cepheus doesn't care about "stack depth". It's just brutal statistics, this strategy beats your strategy unless your strategy is also approximately perfect regardless of what strategy you have. Good, bad, newbie, pro - it doesn't matter.

Yes, if it's very chip poor, Cepheus could run out of chips before it stops being unlucky and takes your money, but that's unavoidably true anyway in Poker due to it being a game of chance as well as skill.

Cepheus is actually a good Rorschach test for players who say "GTO" a lot. If you actually grasp what game theory optimality is about, you see Cepheus and you're like "OK, I'm done playing Heads Up Limit" (and indeed although it was once somewhat common you won't find any professionals playing this for some years now). But if you're the sort of person for whom it's just another phrase to sling around, like complaining you had a "bad beat" when you were never better than evens, chances are you see Cepheus and you think "I could beat that". Oh dear.

> Also, notably, the bot can still lose in the short term to terrible players, which was the thrust of my post.

This is exactly the useless observation I'm complaining about. Poker is a game of chance so of course anybody might get lucky in the very short term. If what you value is the fact you could win despite being terrible at it, just play roulette and save everybody else the trouble.

> In fact, given its bluffing frequency, it might actually do worse against weaker players than it did against pros.

It isn't about "doing worse" here and that's yet more of the mindset that got you into trouble here. The machine doesn't care about "doing worse" it just wins statistically over time. A grinder needs to make rent and buy groceries, so for them being up $50 after a full day feels like losing, it is losing. But the machine doesn't need money.

Again, if it's just about being able to get lucky and get some sort of temporary "High" from that, I'd commend roulette over poker, or, if you like cards, try blackjack.

No, there aren't any academics showing off bots that play full ring. Of course, there weren't any academics showing off that they could count Blackjack. At least not until after they were run out of Vegas with a fortune of the casino's money... Grinding online full ring with AI is not academically interesting, but it would be profitable. The former would cause you to publish (like Cepheus) the latter not so much.
You seem to misunderstand my point, despite me spelling it out. I don’t consider anecdotes dangerous. I consider basing policy discussions/decisions on anecdotes dangerous, because anecdotes cannot capture sufficient data. What policy should we derive from my anecdote about my friend who was deliberately targeted by the person they were caring for? Ban nurse work because it’s unhealthy? Ensure sufficient oversight so that clients get filtered? Ensure mediation for volunteers in that space? It’s impossible to derive a reasonable policy in the individual level.
Is it possible that the author suffering from undiagnosed depression?

I've been a regular meditator for a few years and one thing I've found is that the the initial stages, meditation enhances whatever you're feeling subconsciously. That is why some people have intense emotional experiences at the beginning.

Secondly, mindfulness is not a 10 minute scheduled practice. It has to be followed throughout the day. However, you need to gradually ease into it, starting with 10 mins.

It's like pouring milk into a glass. If you start gently, there won't be a splash. But if you turn your milk container upside down over the glass, there will be a big splash and possibly spilling.
That does not answer my question, nor do I see how that's relevant.
Yes, I currently wear scleral lenses. They're also custom made but the max I can get is 8 hours and that's with a lot of dryness and just general discomfort. Even with frequent lubrication.
This is really what led me to soto, I don’t buy into the ritual, the chanting (unless it’s at a sessin, and even then only for the bonding experience) and the codes and so on of a lot of the other sects. Soto to me is a very pure expression, I’m also not a big fan of the Sotoshu (my teacher calls them the “funeral directors association”) and the more established Soto schools like the SF Zen Center.

Soto, as I understand it, is all about just shikantaza. The rest is optional. I don’t shave my head and wear robes, I just sit.

It took me a while, but this shoe fits. I read Dogen and he seems to agree with this for the most part, but of course ymmv.
When does it cross the line from "bad naming" to "fraud"? If I call my product a "life jacket" and you wear it while out on the water but all it does is make you sink faster it's not just a bad name.
Can't really grasp why an open-source project would need a great brand in the first place.

Good for you. Most of the time I don't. Being particularly prone to daydreaming (or deep unconscious though productive hyperfocused flow state at best) and having attention problems is what got me interested with the subject in the first place.

Good point. You can upload your videos to any platform and restrict access to them. Then embed links to them into your PinePage site similarly to other monetization platforms and grant paid access through membership subscriptions or a one time fee.
I would make that assumption because your education and career experience have nothing to do with the job posting. (Granted, I have not done a lot of entry level hiring.)

As a hiring manager I basically begin by reading any personal statement then I go straight to career experience then formal education. By that point I have probably decided whether to proceed or not.
You also need to understand that you are probably not making it past a lot of internal HR recruiters/first round screens because they only care about formal education credentials and career experience, plus keywords (certain programming languages etc)
It was not clear to me from your projects that you were making a switch. Frankly I tend to gloss over sections like that on initial pass, I didn’t even notice it to be frank.
I never used a screen on my Pi, so I don't know of any specific models. An LCD display with an adjustable backlight could also work; when the power goes out, the UPS could tell the Pi to lower its backlight to save power.
I don’t like the endorsement of coups. I’ve seen plenty of other boring ordinary people also endorse coups and other political violence in much the same way as that tweet did, so (sadly) that isn’t a differentiator.

If the original title is blatantly inaccurate or doesn’t properly describe the subject at hand, it makes sense to modify the title.

In this case, “threatens developer” is a bit of an understatement, if anything. The original comments—which have since been edited—specifically threaten to abuse the fact that the repo owner is a political dissident. “We will make sure your government goes after you for more than just copyright infringement” is a rather despicable threat.

Speaking of which, I'm already sick of hearing Tim Sweeney call Fortnite "a metaverse" just because it's a cross-platform game.

To me, metaverse (drawing from Snow Crash) means essentially "the WWW in 3D" which somehow we still don't have despite commercial approaches to that space such as Second Life and Roblox.

The closest thing I know of is probably Croquet (the original project from Alan Kay and co, less so the commercial venture although I'm watching that with some interest as well) and its various spin-offs like Open Cobalt: virtual spaces hosted independently but with the capability to link to each other to compose a larger distributed virtual space, just like the world wide web.
Agreed, but it's not like europe was all nation-centric politics before. Europe was divided into provinces within empires. Ottoman, Russian, Austro Hungarian... most of Europe was part of a multinational empire, most of the time.

The idea that nation states are old, and multinationalism is new is fallacious. It's only post WWII that borders, political control, and ethnic homogeneity are strongly national... Yugoslavia being the most recent example.
Wikipedia wasn't perfectly neutral here but released truthful information in contrast to many media outlets, who were just as partisan. The reason why many people craved balance and so they made interna of the DNC public.

I have not seen any evidence of Russian interference, but they probably tried. I don't think they got any talking points across to be honest.

This non profit had proof of war crimes and maybe that influenced their disposition? Understandable in my opinion.

In general I am suspect of anyone pointing fingers at others to build a profile. Trump could do that and some people understood that it was holding up a mirror. That is no Trump endorsement and the Russian story an excuse. I believe internal leaks are much more likely.
OK, it was more of a democracy at that time I agree.

It was definitely a threat. “It would be a shame if I were to report this unrelated repo to your government to demonstrate that you’re a political dissident. It would be a shame if your government were to punish you for it. Don’t get mad; I’m sure informing you of your personal risks.”

That’s a threat, plain and simple.

Thanks for your response. I had my CXL procedure 3 years ago and afaik I have avoided eye-rubbing completely since then. I also wear scleral lenses but I can only get 8 hours at best on a good day due to eye dryness. Even with lubricating eye drops.

8 hours but I would have to remove them once or twice a day, which is a whole other rigamarole.
One thing that works is the scams where if someone is traveling (more common pre-Covid..) and their friends/relatives get a message from them saying that they're in trouble (for example, with corrupt local cops) and need some money right now. But that mostly feeds off not leaks, but generally available social media data, as that's always fresh.
