I'm not sure what point you're trying to make as nobody is arguing there isn't a (black) market for it.

The difference between the illegality of porn and of deepfaked porn is that the former is usually based on a purely moral argument (e.g. "porn is sinful" and allowing sinful behavior "corrupts people with sin", leading to more - and worse - sinful behavior) whereas the latter is based on a lack of consent.

Consent is the corner stone of most societies (it's what allows for contract law and thus the "social contract" to begin with). Note that deepfaked porn is illegal in every country in which regular porn is illegal, so clearly the concern isn't with the porn aspect of it. It's categorically more similar to revenge "porn" or CSAM in that the subjects of it don't (or can't) consent to its distribution (or even creation). Also note that in countries where deepfaked porn is illegal but regular porn is not, deepfaked porn produced with the consent of the actors and those lending their faces would usually be legal. Consent matters.
Dating apps are not a solution to this problem. Period. Stop thinking that the light plastic square you carry in the pocket all the time can be the cure for everything. It is exactly the opposite.
Why would they need a blockchain for that? In either case you’d have to trust the company that their inputs, which are external to the network itself, are authentic.

I agree, facebook could have saved themselves a lot of mockery and bad press by spending 0.01% of their VR budget on hiring some people who know how to make simple graphics look good.
Oh wow, this camera! I saw it years ago and never thought about it again. It's such an interesting idea for my field of work that wants variable focus throughout a video shot with high speed photography, but can't get it with the equipment that exists on the market.
> Also, I'd suggest that the assertion that corporations somehow all move towards responsibly managing staffing numbers warrants some supporting documentation.

Definitely. Though it might be difficult to test properly. I expect a lot of survivor bias, with companies having a reasonable long-term strategy faring significantly better in the long run (Microsoft notwithstanding, in this case).
>In early 2021, Zuckerberg said “The hardest technology challenge of our time may be fitting a supercomputer into the frame of normal-looking glasses. But it's the key to bringing our physical and digital worlds together.”

What's wrong with mounting the supercomputer on the ceiling and having a telephone cord run from the glasses to the supercomputer?
No. Valve is privately owned, with GabeN having a big share (AFAIK, since it's private, we wouldn't easily know who/what owns each % of Valve)

You might hear about Valve in these kind of discussion not because of its ownership model but because of its "flat hierarchy", the philosophy of "no boss". But obviously, humans always organise in hierarchies, companies like Valve simply have no formal ones, you just have to navigate well social/politically to understand who you need to please.

Also, a single person can't usually deliver a big project in a reasonable timescale, so how do you get a team?

There's always a lot of more politics (arguing around, convincing others) involved in flat-hierarchies or co-ops, but they are much less likely to get a power hungry vulture dictating things.
> aged especially well ... The UI in particular is awkward

Both views extremely subjective. Some judge the '97 and '98 as "excellence" and Vegas as "excellence bound to compromise with the times". And still dream of a proper sequel to the original (same line, style and features).

Has forensic analysis been defeated by a deep fake? At least in the courts cases won't depend on the jury being able to 'tell by the pixels' and instead experts will get called in. Whoever that ends up being, if they can do their job and authenticate a video at least as well as they already can with photoshops we should be fine.

Photoshop didn't cause society to collapse and photoshop-for-video won't either.
So point the camera at a screen?

I'd generally agree. I personally despise gifts that I receive just because the opposite party felt obligated to give me something. Even if I actively express that my wish is to not receive gifts this is often just ignored because gift giving is so deeply ingrained into our society.

However the more I think about it, I don't think that I'd be opposed to receive a card that was written with the help of an AI. Surely it's much more thoughtful of someone to input a couple of keywords that they associate with me and then pick the best one from a few generated cards, than a generic card with an even more generic phrase and picture on it.

Feels much less like deception to me and more like assisted writing.
Hof looks really interesting. The documentation is super thorough as well (for the parts that are written!). Starred and will keep up to date on it.
There are exactly zero laws about using openly published materials for learning. Human learning but also machine learning.

There's implicit assumption that if you can get a hold of a copy and manage to learn from it you are free to use what you learned in your creations.
I live in Hungary, where I have this feeling of "fake state" getting stronger and stronger every year. I'm sure there are other similar countries.

One recent example: our education system has been neglected for long. Now, that we have an inflation of ~25% (inflation of food is around 50%), teachers literally can't make ends meet. They started to fight for themselves, and instead of taking the problem seriously, the government fights back with its power. (E.g. by firing or silencing teachers who demonstrate.) Teachers are leaving for other jobs in huge numbers. The buildings of even some of the best schools in the country are in catastrophic shape, on the brink of causing major damage to those inside. All this, because it is not a real priority to have good schools. This is only advertised, but it is a lie. The whole education system is gradually shifting into a mode of "baby sitting" kids while the parents work.

Another example is the prosecution system. Interestingly, they are very quick and effective in investigating the smallest wrongdoing if it helps those in power. If the investigation would hurt those in power, they very quickly abandon the investigation with funny and obiously fake reasons. Again: the prosecution system looks like a real one, but it's not. It has purposes different from what is officially advertised.

The closest advisor of the prime minister openly said this week, that "if you control the media, you control the thoughts of people". This, sadly, seems to be true. It really seems that the point of the government is not to run the country decently, but only to fake it. And it works.

Not my project but found if while looking into the "asdf" project's performance issues ticket: https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/issues/290#issuecomment-1406...
the rendering itself was easy. the problem i had was actually the style of the rendering. because you have to use the node/way tags to determine what is what and how to render it(style). not only that but also order of rendering. that in itself is not an issue, but the tag system is. which everything(logic) is built on. hence why i gave up on it. i still have the code, it works, it renders roads and whatnot but it is impossible to write some useful style for it beyond utter basics. the only thing i struggled with for a while was tile edges where renderer would close the paths, making continuous lines broken on every edge. once i figured out to render a but further beyond the edge(which won't be actually rendered on the image) i was fine. it is really not hard to do, couple of hours at most. but again, the tag system makes this useless. it can be done but i realized that life is way too short for this and moved on. also i found there are other project that handle this that you can self-host nowadays so it lost it's financial potential anyway. i just prefer to use my own code.
Faking identity is just one side of it, I actually think we are still relatively safe, when we get to a point where AI can also fake both the location and actions that take place to levels that are indistinguishable from the real thing, then I think we’re in a spot of trouble.
what, wait! This is not true? Been scammed by my own stupidity.

Temporarily, the extension is using Codex, a similar GPT model by OpenAI, instead of ChatGPT, since the official ChatGPT API is not out yet. We do this because using unofficial ChatGPT API is unsupported by OpenAI and it's not reliable. Our team has figured out a way to simulate ChatGPT using OpenAI's current available GPT.

It's plain false advertising for now, and I think they know it, that's why the note is at the bottom. Title is also false. There is no ChatGPT involved.
> multiple symmetric ciphers in sequence is still a permutation.

No its not. The data feeding to the next algorithm is an already encrypted data from the previous algorithm. Theres 0 connection b/w them.

For example .
step 1 . encrypt message (M) with key (K1) using AES to produce cipher text (C1)
step 2 . encrypt message C1 with key K2 using TripleDES to produce C2.
step n . and so on using all algorithms with different Keys.

I don't see any connections b/w them. 0 entropy. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Yes, the world is complicated and there are numerous simpler explanations.

The fact that a few (plural) of their friends were talking about X, means that they probably had a recent contact with X (searched for it, watched the videos, etc). There are anedoctal cases of shared recommendations by location/local network IIUC.

> People don't learn Python because it will get them a job; they learn it because they genuinely like to program and aren't satisfied with the languages they already know.

At least in my area, these days there are many programmers who know Python because that's the only language they have been taught. And there are many job opportunities specifically looking for Python.

I really hope the phone makers don't act like US automakers and appliance manufacturers and redesign them to fail after a couple of years. A phone that is $500 to purchase has a rough ownership cost of $44/month if you get the next model 1 year later, $22/month if you wait 2 years, etc. i expect my $1200 iPhone to last at least 5 years. I can imagine paying $4/day and getting the latest every year, if money meant nothing.
Wow that's crazy.

You need an updated ulimit utility because the current version does not implement the speed of light.
Just because Teams is bad, and it's bad, make no mistake, it doesn't make Slack a good tool. Slack is just a resource hog which creates too much noise.

PayPal isn’t the same thing as fiat currencies either — it’s more analogous to an exchange. And since we are already talking about PayPal and crypto currencies, crypto exchanges should be in the scope of the conversation as well
Somebody should make a crypto where mining is based on doing backpropagation.
Beyond hiring and into product design and even marketing I see Apple’s approach as generative. They’re willing to step into new territory, which precludes following others and frequent reactivity. This generative, self-directed style is juxtaposed by the reactive approach of Google, Amazon, and most other huge megacorps.

I’m not sure what’s going on. Obviously Apple has a stronger vision than most tech companies. Obviously most tech companies chase returns and live in fear of missed opportunities. Maybe it is simply this combination of factors that sets Apple apart from the crowd.
im not sure how subreddit mods play into "federated systems". so thats that.

Except on grounds of "the hierarchy is the minimal necessary to solve the reasons federated systems fail and centralize", you and me seem completely aligned (at least concerning this reply)

But otherwise, i agree.

Though i would like to remark that "the web", actually "the whole computing world", started as a hyper-technical niche.
Similar to other comments, I think that a useful "flowchart" needs decision points.

It also needs loops, else it's just a simple tree, precluding a lot of use-cases for flow charts.
As facile arguments go that's a real gem. Claims require proof, problem solved.

Poor literacy linked to worse mental health worldwide, study shows
I think here the tech is justified - it adds a few added incentives to do the exercises (visuals responding, progress tracking, showing lung function if possible) and can guide people through in a much more scaleable way than in-person / or remote sessions. From literature, it seems breathing exercises do have real benefits, the problem is with compliance - completing them consistently and effectively enough. Lungy tries to make the process more enjoyable and fun (rather than following a worksheet or just breathing into a plastic box). But yep, I think in healthcare, the simplest possible approach with minimal, but not necessarily zero, tech is the way to go. Haha, nice username btw!
We pretending freedom of speech means you can say literally anything you feel like in any venue at any time without repercussions?

I agree on the "should never been released in that state" part, but currently Fallout 76 is by far the best Fallout game Bethesda has made. The newer campaigns are fun and engaging, well written even and there's lots to do. Best of all the community is super friendly and non-toxic: something that is almost impossible to find in 2023.

Sure, there are things that are grindy and made grindy on purpose (eg. getting gold bullion or legendary scrip which are capped daily) and there are things that have worked and things that have not, but as far as monetization goes the game lets you enjoy every single piece of content without grinding or spending a single dime outside of the initial investment. I have played the game hundreds of hours and didn't feel like I was missing anything - I have even bought all of the cosmetics I have wanted purely just by using the currency the game occasionally drops you.

The game is currently -75% off on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1151340/Fallout_76/) and while it still might not be on par with the likes of 2 or New Vegas, I highly recommend it to anyone that were disappointed in Fallout 4 or even 3.
Thank you.

Yeah, I found the ones on mouser and digikey. $20 is a bit much (not for a one off, but if you are aggregating low end processors you will need a lot of them).

I'd love something like a 12-20 port 1Ge with a 10Ge uplink. If you find a super cheap 1Ge switch chip and docs (I suppose you could just reverse engineer the pcb from a tp-link switch), please post it.
That's trivially true. But a web backend will preferably use:

- A std library that provides much of the stuff you need to write web servers.

- A few select well established, stable libraries to fill the gaps

- A battle hardened database like SQLite, MySQL or Postgres

- Maybe additional libraries and generators to program against specific, open protocols, standards and over the wire schemas, like json-schema/OpenAPI/GraphQL/Protobuf etc. Which are typically tested against a common test-suite.

- Maybe additional components like message queues and key value stores and object storage in order to scale.

You get the drift. It's not like these things are some random libs and tools that are maybe "unsafe" (whatever that means).

A good thing about Rust is that unsafe is always explicit. And if you're not using the keyword, then satisfying the type checker gives a "if it compiles, it runs" feel, because runtime assertions can be avoided.

But saying "anything is unsafe anyways" is missing the point. The language itself can nudge you towards a certain outcome, but I trust some of the mentioned technologies above, not because of the languages they use, but because they are well designed, stable and full of old battle scars.
It means that our range of linguistic expression is several orders of magnitude greater and more complex than that of apes. Still when we don’t share a spoken language we fall back on gestures.
You have to put this essay in the context of year 2004. Python was not used as much as today, it was an emerging language.
Dear ImGui is coming out of the game dev world and is mainly intended for specialised UI tools and debugging/profiling overlays in 3D games (or generally 3D apps), and for that use case it's just perfect and fixed a longstanding problem (for gamedev inhouse tools, it essentially killed C#/WPF and Qt overnight).

It sounds a lot like "poor motility and decreased physical proficiency".
Heureka/Toppreise/... is nice if you know which model you want exactly and you are looking for the lowest price with shipping. But if you're for example searching for a new laptop or dishwasher, having a website with a clean interface, fast response times, good filters, and consistent item classification/description is priceless. And that is exactly what galaxus/digitec is.

(It doesn't hurt that they also very often have close to the lowest price in Switzerland, or only a few CHF more than the absolute lowest, which often made it worth it for me just to have "most of my orders in one place" and know that I will have a good RMA experience if it comes to that.)
I walk my kids to and from school most days. Then I find a local patch of bush to hike or run, far enough to tire out my cattle dog. We hit the dog park if I’m feeling lazy.

I volunteer as a firefighter, and get plenty of exercise if I get called out on a job. I get some movement in during training.

I find gyms don’t work for me. They just feel a bit pointless. Immediate term, I need to move so that my dog won’t bug me when I’m trying to work. Medium term, I want to be fit enough to perform on the fireground. Long term sure I want to live long and well, but I can’t rely on that for motivation. Too abstract.
Have you noticed how chimp’s for example how was seem to have this random look? They never seem to look at anything for long, but somehow they still see everything.
Clearnet torrenting could put you in trouble. Perhaps torrents in I2P are more suitable for this.
Your terminology is a little weird. The idea that 0 <= remainder < divisor is part of the Division Algorithm, not modular arithmetic. And modular arithmetic, unlike remainders, is completely fine with negative numbers. But you're calling the function that gives you a correct remainder "divMod" and the one that only holds itself to modular equivalence "quotRem".

If you divide -13 by 3, the "quotient" is -5 and the "remainder" is 2.
This is precisely the case and it's what is so often missing from the jobs analysis.
Try some data from 2022 instead of 2019. Then realise you have to include the installed capacity, not just stuff that has been there a whole year.

There's a huge community of roleplaying GTA 5 custom servers. Some take it pretty seriously and have really talented actors/performers.
Historically, the average person could verify very little. To this day I've never once seen China with my own eyes. Does it even exist? Probably... how do I know? We all decide on others we consider trustworthy enough for the context.

If some major news org said they contacted Tom Cruise and asked him if the video was real and he said it wasn't him, then as an average person I'd probably believe them because I have at least some degree of trust that they'll either tell the truth or get called out on the lie and ultimately what do I care either way.

It's extraordinary claims that require extraordinary evidence and "Paris Hilton and Tom Cruise do rich people things on camera" doesn't meet that threshold. If someone posted a video of the president eating a live baby I'd probably be more skeptical of my sources.
PayPal is analogous to an exchange though so the argument could be flipped that people who use fiat currencies should just stop using PayPal.

Clearly ignoring the existence of exchanges doesn’t help further the debate.

"...a sorta-popular JavaScript package. I say “sorta” because it’s used by lots of people, but it’s not pervasive. It had 105 million downloads in 2022."

It's anyhow a moral argument, just based on different values.
For example can you imagine to have sex with someone? Do you need their consent? How is it so much different to produce a deepfake for your own consumption only?

I personally agree that consent matters, but I see many ways to contrast that argument
