I did take photography classes in college that helped me understand basics.

But I learned a lot more by joining a local photography meetup. They would hire models to practice portrait shoots with and the main people were very helpful. They charged $50-$60 per shoot though.

Fair warning, back then I ran into a lot of photographers who did photography for living and were pretty grumpy about dwindling incomes. Don't let their snarky comments discourage you from going to meetups.

That sounds a lot better than the one size fits all crap we get in the US. If you are trying to do anything other than take over an existing and operating industrial site that's grandfathered in or run a warehouse for some sort of boring and non-reactive goods it tends to be a terrible maze of conflicting and irrelevant requirements.
So the folks at the forefront of deep fake technology (i.e. the attackers you're targeting) will slip through your product because it lags behind the state of the art (like AV, which you said is the approach you're following), while innocent folks will be caught by it due to a new kafkaesque version of "prove you're not a bot" since you focus on reducing false negatives. Hopefully I can avoid companies using your product.

During a pandemic, people are hyper aware of coughing in their environment. It becomes a subconscious trigger (like a baby's cries). Every time a cough occurs in a film, it causes that same shift and elevated processing -- and has the side effect of making a viewer better pay attention/enjoy a scene.

I wanna add my own story below my comment as it's justvtangential to my point and the question.

I maintain a couple open source projects and one of them solved a business need for my employer back then. I asked permission and got clearance to contribute my work to open source.

The project solves a rather small very specialized problem that any other option didn't sufficiently. I had initially written it to replace a central part of another open source project that was just way to inefficient. Instead of just adding the code there, I created a standalone library that then got used by that project. That way I was putting less burden on the maintainer of the bigger project by reducing his code base and taking over that part in a separate project. As it was also open source he could always fork it and adjust if necessary and the change was completely compatible with previous versions, just that it was two orders of magnitude more performant. On top of that others could use my project standalone if they only required that functionality.

By now it's multiple years old, has been downloaded nearly 10 million times, requires nearly no support (it's that simple), has less than 10 stars on Github, but is used in hundreds of projects on Github.

Of course, I'm proud of it and I consider it a success story of open source without too much sustained effort.
“To put it plainly, R won’t change. If something about R frustrates you today, it always wilL.”

>If a system is consistently producing outcomes that are different from its value, the system is broken, and it people are going to rationally lost faith in its old customs.

Except the evidence that these ideologues cite for this divergence from values is inequality of outcome, which is a ridiculous metric to gauge the fairness of a system which presides over a culturally and genetically heterogeneous population. And that's the key issue with so called CRT, which has become somewhat of an umbrella term both for directly influenced pedagogy and ideologies with underpinnings which are simply similar to CRT in spirit: when you naively presume that all peoples are identical in ability and behavior, save for influences of the economic and justice systems (i.e. ignoring culture and genes), then naturally the only allowable answer to the question of inequity is discriminatory injustice. And the outcome of such shortsightedness is broken, often reverse racist policy, which is exceedingly quick to make excuses for suspects of the "right" (minority) demographic and particularly harsh on suspects of the "wrong" ("privileged") demographic.

This is ultimately an overcorrection to the injustices of slavery/jim crow and WWII-era nazism - we've taken race and cultural blindness a step too far, conflating equal treatment under the law with equal outcome under the law (and in other institutions as well). If your ideology does not allow for differences in average behavior/ability/values as an explanation for different average outcomes then it becomes trivially easy to see the boogeyman of racism/sexism across institutions and justify what amounts to throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

"learns on its own" makes it sound like unsupervised learning, but it's labeled data: the researchers also input the correct "output voltage" which they want the system to learn.

Shell directors sued for ‘failing to prepare company for net zero’
Indeed. Overcapacity for wind and solar is why batteries and other storage solutions are so important since that provides some ability to absorb the excess energy or use it when production dips. Interconnected grids provides similar grid balancing benefits.

A near future thing might be lots of EVs with vehicle to grid capability adding a lot of battery to the grid. Millions of EVs would provide some non trivial amount of capacity. Several manufacturers are starting to supply cars with this capability (e.g. Ford, Kia, and a few others). And of course Tesla is already experimenting with virtual power plants as well.

The future is going to be a messy process of different countries and companies rolling out bits and pieces of infrastructure and technology as it becomes available. It's a fiercely competitive space and it does not favor players that depend on costly solutions that require high energy prices to be economically sustainable. All that will happen in a market with an increasing amount of variety of supply and greater fluctuations in pricing.

This actually has a re-enforcing effect. The more wind, solar, and battery comes online, the less profitable gas plants become. They only generate revenue when they are in use but they still cost money when they aren't producing. Likewise, exporting nuclear energy is not a thing when there is a surplus of cheap renewable energy unless you basically sell the energy at a loss. And turning a nuclear plant off takes a lot of planning. And turning them back on is of course expensive as well.

That's one of the issues France is facing with its domestic nuclear production. It's often cheaper to import wind power from abroad and with a connected grid, power suppliers have the freedom to do so. And of course in areas where prices are higher, home owners are incentivized to find ways to reduce their energy prices by installing solar on their roofs and adding batteries to their house.

Some free advice from an ex-Epic:
This is true when it's other vendors doing the data fetching. When it's a health system customer of Epic, they bend over backwards to help them extract the data properly and build cool clinical tools on top of the Epic platform. Health systems with big innovation arms like Atrium and Providence could be a good place to seek VC if your product idea relies on deep EMR access. Sometimes the left hand doesn't talk to the right in these health systems though - you'll need to get that innovation arm talking to the EMR analysts. Use the shibboleth "I want to talk to our Epic TS" for whatever speciality you work on.

As for things like the App Orchard and Epic on FHIR https://fhir.epic.com/ :
Epic is smart enough to realize that their future lies as the platform of the health system IT stack, in the Ben Thompson sense of a platform / aggregator.

The hospitals are scared of open access, and Epic always does what's in the best interest of their customers, so they push against open access.
Like the PP, I can be using a FOSS application or library and notice a bug, or try to run it against some unsupported device, or against the new version of something. I fix it for myself if I can, then I send the patch upstream. It is like stone soup - the original FOSS project implements something for their needs, I tweak it a little to work for me, and soon enough you have a program useful to a lot of people.

Also sometimes I write something for myself, then think it's possible someone else might find it useful, so I release it as FOSS on say Github. Later I see people watching it, starring it and forking it, and even adding commits to their forks, so I figure someone else must have found it useful.
That might be overkill.

I think you could get 99% of the way there with a reminder at 10am, 2pm, and 6pm to have a glass of water. With a few exceptions (e.g., heart failure), there's no real harm in moderately overdoing it--you'll just pee it out.
Epic expanded into the Nordics and their providers found it disastrous on the whole, mostly because it's designed for the US healthcare system and therefore cares almost exclusively about billing, which is completely irrelevant for them.

Great questions.

1 - We include multiple models for GAN and non-GAN related synthetic media.

2 - Models are only as good as the training data, and most training data breaks down in the real world because hackers have access to this same open source training data. So we create our own proprietary training data which we have automated, and we continuously update it based upon emerging deepfakes that we find in the wild.

3 - We target 95% accuracy with all public and proprietary training sets. And we continuously test and iterate both the data sets and the models.

4 - Our policies require a background check on all users to filter out bad actors. We additionally have technology safeguards in place to limit improper use.
R "just works" now because a huge amount of effort has gone into improving the language over the last 10 or so years, in part spurred by the tidyverse movement, although not restricted in scope to tidyverse. When I was starting grad school around 2010, if someone sent you some R code, the chances that you would be able to "just run" it were basically zero: there would be weird version mismatches in how functions worked, file paths would be specified in inconsistent ways in different parts of the script, all kinds of crazy impenetrable errors were the norm. Now there are several R code snippets posted in these HN comments that will run without trouble. If I could have gone back in time and told myself that this is how R would develop, I would have been shocked (and happy).
It's not asinine, it just depends on if you value ethics or growth.
I forget where I read this, but something like:

The Googler’s Dilemma: Why Experience Will Always Have a Premium
How does one differentiate an unsafe cab from a safe cab?

For a more apples to apples comparison: Tesla vs Mercedes. Tesla broadcasts L5 confidence in a poorly implemented L2 system, and accepts zero liability for its faults. Mercedes broadcasts L3 confidence in their system (which I'm not familiar enough to actually characterize), and accepts full liability for its faults. I'd prefer to share the road with a self-driving Mercedes than a Tesla, because mistakes are inevitable and insurance payouts are not. If I'm disabled for life, I'd rather get paid for damages than not.
Talked about this on another community, here’s a hilariously sad example of these fake “personal” emails

I was once gone from home for two days traveling with family. Two days. HBOMax sent me an email with this exact subject line (edit: I went and checked through my past emails before unsubscribing, they sent four emails with the subject line over the holidays):

“I can’t help but wonder why you aren’t watching” as an attempt to inform me about the latest series that was now on the platform.

Why? Because I have a life HBO that doesn’t involve you lol. I do other things with my time. I’m not addicted to television. Like come the hell on. I’m already a paying customer. Get out of here with this “why aren’t you wasting more of your time on our platform?” BS

I feel genuinely bad for whoever had to write that, and worse for whoever thought it was a good subject line for ad copy.
How does that work? If you forward the message to another account, wouldn't the account that forwarded the message be the one tagged as spam?
Drunk driving has been solved and is on the horizon. Soon manufacturers will be required to include the technology in the cars somewhere around 2026 in North America and possibly sooner in Europe. There might be a combination of technology used such as at wheel breath test, sensors on the wheel that detect alcohol excretion in your skin, eye sensors that detect impairment and drowsiness, sensors that detect impaired driving based on how well you stay in your lane. Unsure what tech will be most common but change is on the horizon.
>the only solution would be have native language speakers in every language, on call and ready to deploy in order vet every single advert before publication.

Yes, you should have to vet your publications before they are released. That is a thing that should absolutely be part of your processes. If you cannot service a language, do not offer anything in that language.

My opinion is that huge tech companies have always wanted their cake while taking the last bite - they want everyone in the world to be their customer, but don't want to actually have to do anything to ensure those customers receive a quality service.
Take a peek inside a flickering candle flame with these 3D-printed shapes
Good enough for me. Without any metrics, I have no idea what to compare to.
I don't really see the benefit of trying to diminish their level of responsibility. They chose to accept money to display ads in a particular language and made the decision to display adverts, as a publisher you have a duty to understand what it is you're publishing. No one would make the same excuse if we saw hate ads popping up on billboards. You don't get to eat the world and then complain about how parts of it are giving you indigestion.

The alternative is that they don't serve markets where they aren't willing to understand the language. Those markets are then served by companies who do and might actually put some effort into vetting what they're being paid to display.
Awesome answer thanks! Can I follow you on GitHub.
You seem to imply that "contributing to open source projects" must mean coding, but there's lots of tasks that you can do that are not coding.

Why do you want plugins? KeePassXC provides most of what KeePass needs plugins for out of the box in usually much better and more stable and tested quality. KeePassXC will never support plugins the way KeePass does and for good reason. Most plugins are unmaintained and some are outright dangerous to use. Your passwords are too precious to let unverified thirdparty plugins handle them.

If you need external functionality that is not available in KeePassXC, you can try to bolt it on via the KeePassXC-Browser API or open a feature request (or even better: pull request) to get it into the core application.
I think they refer to the absence of one single mains switch to turn off everything in the datacenter. It took 3 hours for the firefighter to find all the individual switches and turn them off, according to the report.
No, they are currently not subsidized at all. What was done was guaranteeing minimum prices for renewable energy. These prices used to be way higher than market prices to make renewable energy generation economically feasible. This way especially important in the first decade of this century and back then you could call the renewables heavily subsidized.

But recently market prices for electricity were by far exceeding the minimum guaranteed prices, so you can't call those renewables as "heavily subsidized".
Code style is the first thing I eliminate from a review process. I find the most commonly used code formatter and linter for $LANG (the more opinionated the better) and plug it into pre-commits and CI. Code style is just not worth my time.
The writer, as far as I can tell, was an unassuming center-left liberal, until something happened while she was at NYT, and now she is on a crusade against the forces who did that something to her.

She reminds me of those anticommunists you used to see from Eastern Europe. They wouldn't ordinarily be conservatives, but, after experiencing the Soviets, everything changes; for them, all the threats now seem to come from the left.

I can't really blame them.

You're right that she's a little one-note at this point, though.

The worst part is 99% of the time the person asking "why don't you use X?" has never used X, and 90% of the time doesn't even understand X, and 50% of the time has merely seen "why don't you use X?" used for this particular situation before, and is trying to score internet karma points / upvotes by being the first to ask it.

This also happens in companies. Unfortunately, in tech you're penalized for not speaking up in meetings, and the easiest contribution to make is often "why not X?". Sad but true.
