VQGAN (being a "GAN") is already two networks - one Generates things, and the other is Adversarial and judges if the other network is good enough, then you train them both at once and they fight.

CLIP+VQGAN generation IIRC works by replacing the adversarial network with CLIP, so it understands text prompts, then retraining it for a while towards the prompted target, then generating whatever it's learned from that.

GANs are a silly idea that shouldn't work but somehow do. There's some attempts to replace the idea: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/unlocking-new-...

A 60 hour work week. No more. You don't want to burn them out before puberty.
The point is more "can you conceive of a headshot before you've ever witnessed one?" And the assertion is, no.

I should be explicit -- I am saying the exposure which makes one seek stimulus is merely a catalyst for deeper urges, not a generator of them as such. A certain level of inhibition (e.g. sociopathy) is required but IMO so is a prior conception of the deed.

In your example, if someone is predisposed to wanting to shoot actual people in the head, exposing them to video game headshots may distract in the short term but desensitizes and entrenches the image in the long term, possibly making it easier to decide to pull the trigger later on if they are sufficiently inhibited of social concerns. This does not happen for people with high inhibitions, or at least sufficient self-control.
What else should we call them? All we know right now is that someone returned them. We don't know if that's the same person who stole them.

Personally I am hoping for someone to come forth with a story. At that point we can re-evaluate the use of "benefactor."

Probably one of the scariest and most interesting paradigms I’ve picked up from working remote for years now is post-merge/commit reviews. You write code, review it yourself, and then merge/deploy it. Sometime in the next 24 hours or so, someone wakes up and reviews your code. They have some tweaks for you that you then write up and deploy to prod when you wake up. Then you review their code and repeat the process.

Writing code like this was stressful at first, what if I break something? The truth is, if I really did feel like I was going to break something, I would wait for a review before merging. Most of the time, I could review my own code. If I did break something, I could just revert it and write up a post-mortem so others on my team could learn from my mistake.

When doing a post-commit review, the rules are a bit different. There’s no point in bike-shedding because the code is live. Instead you’re looking for missed edge-cases, typos, and smells. Then you kindly point them out, maybe discuss for a couple of hours and it gets fixed.

It’s a huge change from a synchronous environment where you wouldn’t think of doing code like that…

scripting languages can similarly solve that too. OP is asking why they use visual programming instead.
Not being sarcastic. They have working code and a staff of engineers that understand it currently. Transpiling it migrates the code to an intermediate state that no one understands, so why do that if you have to rewrite it again anyway?
Everytime I try Gephi I tend to go back to Cytoscape (desktop not JS). I need to see how it evolved it has been a couple of years now.

> But as a layman to cryptography I don't get what is the significant difference between this finding and Levin's. Is there anyone who can explain this to someone with an undergraduate level of mathematical backgrounds?

Here's a massive simplification. Let's say you tell me "Here's a conjecture: since multiplying 2x3 is hard, multiplying any combination of two numbers from 1-5 is hard. I can't prove that it is hard, but if all of them are hard, then my cryptography works!"

Levin's complete function approach : "Here's a function that's at least as hard as any given combination of two numbers: (1x2) + (1x2) + (1x3) + (1x4) + (1x5) + (2x3) + (2x4)... [and so on]. If that turns out to be easy, than your conjecture is wrong!"

The article states that there is a novel and surprising connection: "Proving the difficulty of multiplying any random combination of numbers under 5 is equivalent to solving this seemingly unrelated (and as yet unsolved) problem in geometry."

The two approaches are pretty different and have very different ramifications. While in a lot of cases, the approach of "here's an equivalent problem" doesn't actually help, in some cases it turns out that the equivalent problem is easier to solve. Or that the connection between the two opens up completely new approaches to solutions - or even applications of the math involved. Sometimes just the proof itself causes new connections! Often it takes considerable time before the impacts show themselves.

The double decker taco supreme did not “work fine”. It was the undisputed apex of humanity’s culinary development.

The perfect vessel to combine the crunchy mouth feel of a hard shell taco, with the practical consistency and resilience of a soft shell wrapper. Bound together by a mix of refried beans.

I still can’t believe they removed it from the menu.
Unreal is one of the most popular engines out there, and they push blueprints extremely hard, to the point where it's actually somewhat difficult to search up c++ tutorials (and the documentation of UE4 isn't the best once you dig past the basics).

It is a generalization, but the example is one that some 30+% of games will use . And it's not the only engine with visual programming; even Unity aquired Bolt (a very popular unity plugin for visual scripting) and will likely market that more and more as it's integrated into its engine.

I was initially quite impressed with the quality of the output and the feature set available. Well done! In addition, the github actions seem to make this a very quick drop-in solution which is something I need for several projects now (and have been putting off due to the heft & process of existing tools).

However, after looking through the documentation, I finally stumbled on the mention of a license requirement. The license page is quite buried and does not appear on the navigation which makes it seem like it was intentionally hidden as a "gotcha", though I don't believe that was the intent. The page limits, while high, are somewhat unsettling. As well as the domain limits even with a pro version. I would want to apply this to a handful of my open source projects which would already require ~$200-$300 (yearly should I want updates).

Those arbitrary limitations on otherwise impressive software will likely keep me from using it. Though, I know I'm rather picky when it comes to the tools I use, so my opinions may not be representative.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that the length issues with OTP mean that it can’t be used in any scenario that requires even a weak form of non-malleability. Maybe you could try to do something with universal hashes, but it’s unclear.

Caption in Russian says "Ridovka has only a cropped version, here's the full one, where they shoot at someone who is still alive."

Warning: description is accurate.

Since the softpedalled NYT story is kind hard to find and link to (on purpose it seems -- this story is quite significant and should have gotten much higher billing), I'll post relevant excerpts below:

A video posted online on Monday and verified by The New York Times appears to show a group of Ukrainian soldiers killing captured Russian troops outside a village west of Kyiv.

“He’s still alive. Film these marauders. Look, he’s still alive. He’s gasping,” a man says as a Russian soldier with a jacket pulled over his head, apparently wounded, is seen still breathing. A soldier then shoots the man twice. After the man keeps moving, the soldier shoots him again, and he stops.

At least three other apparent Russian soldiers, including one with an obvious head wound who has his hands tied behind his back, can be seen dead near the victim. All are wearing camouflage, and three have white arm bands commonly worn by Russian troops. Equipment is scattered around them and there are blood stains near each man’s head.

The soldiers are lying in the road a few feet from a BMD-2, an infantry fighting vehicle used by Russian airborne units. Some appear to have had their jackets, shoes or helmets removed. Farther up the road, other destroyed vehicles can be seen.

The video was filmed on a road just north of the village of Dmytrivka, around seven miles southwest of Bucha, where the discovery of hundreds of corpses of people in civilian clothes in recent days has prompted accusations that Russian troops killed civilians as they retreated.

The killings appear to have been the result of a Ukrainian ambush of a Russian column that occurred on or around March 30, as Russian troops were withdrawing from small towns west of Kyiv that have been the scene of fierce fighting for weeks. Oz Katerji, a freelance journalist, posted videos and pictures of the destroyed column on Twitter on April 2 and wrote that soldiers told him that the Russians had been ambushed 48 hours earlier.

Ukraine’s Defense Ministry also tweeted about the destruction of the Russian convoy, calling it “precise work” by Ukrainian forces. “These are not even humans,” a Ukrainian soldier says in the video as he walks among the wrecked vehicles, adding that two Russian lieutenants had been taken prisoner.

The Ukrainian soldiers are identifiable by their flag patches and blue arm bands and repeat “glory to Ukraine” multiple times. Their unit is unclear, but in the video of the killing, one of the men refers to some of them as “Belgravia lads,” likely referring to a housing development called Belgravia located a few hundred yards from the incident.

A Ukrainian news agency that posted a video of the aftermath of the ambush on March 30 described it as the work of the “Georgian Legion,” a paramilitary unit of Georgian volunteers that formed to fight on behalf of Ukraine in 2014.

Yeah, I feel similarly. I think one of the major issues is that niche forums seem to have disappeared almost entirely, and most people discover new pages through through a couple of fairly large, impersonal, content aggregators, so you see this sort of personal "web 1.0"-esque content much less often, even if they still exist.
You’re mistaken. CCA has a formal definition that may not match with your expectation, but in the definition of CCA, the same key that is used to encrypt the challenge message is used for the decryption oracle.

The "pro" page wasn't immediately obvious to me as well and I spent ~30mins perusing the documentation before finally finding a mention of a license key. I do wish that was more upfront.
> The point is more "can you conceive of a headshot before you've ever witnessed one?" And the assertion is, no.

I'm not sure that's true. Our brains can imagine a lot that we've never seen, though maybe not very accurately. Inventors and developers and artists do it all the time, if we are talking about the same thing.

I'm not sure that disproves your premise. Virtual experiences may make real ones easier, but some research and details about where it works, where it doesn't, would be helpful. Many training programs use virtual experiences, such as flight simulators.
What ALBs don’t have is a maximum payload size. :)

Note: The “official” way to work around this is to write your large payload to S3 and then create a pre-signed S3 URL that you return to the caller instead.
It would still be a successful attack for the purposes of the definition of CCA secure.

In the CCA experiment, an attacker is given access to a decryption oracle that has used the same key as the challenge message.
I mean it always boils down to “what I like is good and authentic and better than what you like which is fake and bad and you should feel bad.”

And if you can’t argue it as authentic just call it fusion.

First you need to define what 'visualise' means, as an aphantasian programmer I can't visualise anything. What does thinking in code blocks mean? I can mentally hold stuff, but it's certainly not visual. Feynman[0] has a good video going through this.

> After all, our estimates come from a population sample that presumably is more liberal than average. Yet even among this group of people – and despite the fact that the brutality of the war is becoming more evident by the day – the Russian leadership ostensibly can count on the genuine support of a substantial part of the population.

Russians are a disgusting and pathetic people and I hope I get to see them starve in the street for what they did in Ukraine.
Planes coming in above us were at about 1000ft, and there was definitely vibration, but not enough to damage windows. We did have some badly secured pictures fall off the walls, and items on shelves had a tendency to vibrate their way off the edges.

Not 140dB, but to give you an idea of how loud it was, we had to pause the TV or conversation when planes were coming over because we couldn't hear it.

We could absolutely recognize models by sound.

> Their real reasons are religious/ideological, but they cite humanitarian concerns

Are you asserting that nobody has humanitarian concerns? If so, that's quite a statement; what basis is there? I've seen so many humanitarian acts, big and small, that I can't begin to count. I've seen them today. I hear people express humanitarian beliefs and feelings all the time. I do them and have them myself. Maybe I misunderstand.
This is not generally true. You can easily imagine a cryptosystem where having a decryption Oracle does not give the key.

The fact that it is so easy to get the key given a decryption oracle for OTP just tells us that it’s really easy to show that it’s not CCA secure. The definition of CCA secure allows a decryption oracle with the same key as the challenge ciphertext.
