The barrier to creation is now far, far lower. Just a few face pictures and some idea of their body type, and you've got an instant nude.

Children younger than 10 need to be taught the concept of consent and privacy, and how upsetting it is for people whose privacy and consent are violated. It ties into cliques and bullying, too. Teens can be brutal in their bullying and fake nude pictures will be added to the arsenal of abusive actions.

Some of this stems from unrestricted usage of computers by minors who don't understand the impact their actions might have. Better parental tools and parents/guardians who take this topic seriously would be beneficial too. (I'm not arguing for some locked-down console instead of standard PCs, I just think that parents need to be able to know what their kids are doing online)
You can't buy these pro variants from Microcenter for example, but you can buy them from pre-built OEM desktops. Mostly meant for enterprise customers who buy in bulk, I think.
For sure but for the otherwise innocent creator on an airgapped pc there is nothing to worry about. Who would ever know?

I do think the other examples you gave have one significant and fundamental difference - no one would mistake those things as being real. The problem with deepfakes is these have a similar social impact and capcity for harm as real nudes do, only there is no element of consent. You could ruin someones life quite easily with deep fakes, but not with your lewd poetry or sketches. So it seems reasonable to me to ban these with a blanket ban.

I would prefer we lived in a world where that wasnt neccesary, but for every technology you must imagine the most sinister and exploitative application and realise that someone will try that and worse. How do you even begin to combat deepfakes and the social problems they bring? how many bodies are considered acceptable until we get it right? Possibly, its best to over reach a little then relax the grip rather than to take it slow, given what is on the line for some.
> It's more or less the mental model that I use for gambling.

Let me tell you a story. Fifteen years ago, a person named n4r9 made £10 at the blackjack table.

They turned around, left the casino, and never returned.

Now they're making 25 times that amount every day they step into the office.

And do you know who that person was?
I don't think there were many sports betting apps on people's smartphones in 1990.

Just beat Doom last week and I'm now playing through Doom 2. It's still amazing. It brought me back some memories I had completely forgotten about me playing with my cousins. Also, remembering some old map layouts gave me a very weird feeling like I've been visiting a real place I've been when I was a child. 10/10 would recommend.
I personally think the "forced" part is mostly bullshit. It was the default arrangement but far from the only one.
In fact, when you read some historical without the feminist propaganda bias it becomes very obvious that it was mostly a desirable position for women.

It seems to me that the whole equality propaganda mostly comes from less desirable women who would have a much harder time finding a highly valuable man that would be able to bring a lot to the home (either in the way of money or skills, craftmanship, etc). They wrongly determined it would be better for them if they could be like a man.
But reality doesn't care much about feelings and what happens is that those women still get the less desirable man and if they go at it solo, they find out the hard way that there are many things a man provide that are very costly if you have to pay for it in the market.
One thing too often overlooked is the importance of a man in children upbringing and there are some nasty statistics about single women raising kids that pretty much depict that very painfully.

In the end it doesn't matter, everybody's got much poorer for it, the only winners are the bourgeois women who started it all, who already had a lot of power in the first place. But I guess it was the intended result even if it came at the expense of all the lower social class...

Because then people can and will create fine tunes of models trained on specific people and just share those instead. I'm worried we will soon hear about a girl bullied into suicide because of a model she was powerless to stop from spreading.
This is so true… and stuff disappears from the internet news a lot. In Europe they have laws that are invoked a lot that should be renamed to the right to politicians to remain unaccountable.

Privacy is portayed by the authorities as someone to protect the people, but in reality the people have none and it’s really used to hide the illegal and corrupt actions of government officials.
You still may phantasize about whatever thoughts you want to.

But creating an image that can be watched in the real world, is more than "thought".
Margaret Hamilton coined the term "software engineering" circa 1965, because she recognised that she and her fellow Apollo programmers were doing engineering, and had to be doing engineering, because otherwise people would die.

Engineering involves requirements analysis, specification, and the mathematical analysis of families of components to demonstrate – according to the known laws of reality – that the proposed solution meets the requirements and won't kill people.

E.W.Dijkstra advocated, repeatedly, from the 1970s onwards (EWD340 – and probably earlier than that also), that software should be formally-analysed and -verified as a matter of course. He called this humility. We call him arrogant, and insane.

A Florida decision carries no precedential power outside Florida, but judges in other states can nonetheless refer to the Florida decision for its analysis.
My opinion is that news coverage and liberal politics should focus less on race and identity, not more. That isn't to say we ignore it, but not every issue in cities and states and countries revolves around identity, and an over-emphasis on it comes off as ideological.
Gold is already hard to detect and it's very compact for its value. Dissolving it in liquid would likely defeat the purpose.
This is one of the reasons why I think patents are important, because it allows them to profit from their inventions, and for the inventions to be reused later by others, even if the product was "too soon". They invented innovative technology, tried to build a real product, they should be able to make some money from others picking up the baton -- and presumably they did, when they sold the company through the chain of acquisitions that ended up with them at TomTom and with TomTom in control of their patent portfolio.
I don't think OP was saying it is, exactly. They seemed to me to say that betting and crypto are gambling, and that picking individual stocks is kinda close.

Which isn't exactly wrong - if you're a retail investor who isn't using satellite footage of parking lots, picking individual stocks is closer to gambling.

Investing in the aggregate is less gambling.
this is technically possible at the phone level, but all the business infrastructure enforces ten digit validation.
In this vein, it'd be cool if the git log for each file were prepended to the top of a file in an editor.
I majored in statistics undergraduate and being able to derive and prove the gamblers ruin problem is one of the requirements. At 50/50 it's your money over your plus house's money. And it gets drastically worse as soon as the house gets even a slight edge. I wasn't the casino's target anyways as I saw it was a waste of time and I loathe all the time wasted walking past the gaming area to even see music at a done here like a Hard Rock.

Edit, my school is the top link when I searched for a reference, I guess they included it after the casinos went into Atlantic City. Generalized Gambler's Ruin Problem - Rutgers Math https://sites.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/EM20/GamblersRuin.p...

>The standards I'm talking about here are things like "will not mock or belittle me" and "will consider me an equal participant in the relationship and value my desires accordingly."

What you're describing there is a woman's expectation of a man.

A man's expectations of a woman have nothing to do with the above.

>Their BATNA is to not have a spouse and they are taking it.

Interesting claim, let's revisit it when they are in their 50s.
The Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 makes distributing intimate images without consent a crime in England and Wales. It prohibits sharing, or threatening to share, private sexual images of someone else without their consent and with the intent to cause distress or embarrassment to that person.

I get that deepfakes are superimposing a non-consenting face on a (presumably) consenting body, but how does that matter? Is it that "visually lying" is a legal loophole?

I was of course referring to US. As Ben Hodges put it yesterday:

Actually, the article says they were not available:

No. I didn't move anything.

I said that the core (3D rendering hardware) of a GPU with shaders is the AI block already, and said that other tasks like video encoders have their own blocks, but still pull capabilities from the "core" to improve things.
Surprising that this fact is being often overlooked in this thread. If you're in a multi-day golf tournament for example, an ice bath for immediate recovery and lack of hypertrophy is exactly what you want.
Taxes, too: the government will be taking over a third of your winnings for a big payout.
Someone is naive, that's a fact...

Good luck negotiating or even communicating with ATT or American Airlines or any major provider of services you think you buy... Let alone your hospital bill, your car insurance, your health insurance or your taxes... The list goes on and on and on. We're what they call "Captive customers". You literally have no choice.

It's actually astounding that you support this stuff let alone respect it. However, in a world where people put tattoos of Tesla on their bodies, it makes sense.

You are certainly right and there is good reason for that, however, it's worth noting that in the U.S., at least as per Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition [1], simulated CSAM is legal.

The body cam channels aren't really trying to push a narrative. They just take public body cam footage from a handful of locales and upload it with very little production work. It's almost no work and generates (comparatively) a lot of views. The majority of it is pretty mundane, lots of drunk people.

I wouldn't compare it to agenda channels that upload heavily edited and cherry picked content with "telling you how to feel" narration. The unedited average police doing average police work content is enough to stand on its own.

This game certainly brings back memories.

I think I prefer the more “internal” style levels from Descent 1 and 2 over the more open levels found in Descent 3.

To that end, I sense a huge opportunity. We could potentially port the D1 and D2 maps to run in Descent 3, as well as utilizing the newer graphics APIs the game supported. Could be a great opportunity for an all-in-one style remaster.
SmarTube works amazingly well. I expect them to circumvent those limitations as usual.

The implication is that only one party has consented when these fakes are created, and therefore not all involved have given their consent.

Courts have previously deemed cartoon imagery of children to be equivalent to a real child, so considering the deepfake to be a real person that needs to give consent is not without precedent.

There is a VitisAI execution provider for ONNX, and you can use ONNX backends for inference frameworks that support it. More info here - https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/

But regardless, 16 TOPs is no good for LLMs. Though there is a Ryzen AI demo that shows Llama 7B running on these at 8 tokens/sec. A sub-par experience for a sub-par LLM.
I pay the creators I care about, but I do it through Patreon, not Youtube. Of those $14 of Youtube subscription fees, approximately $0 would go to the creators I care about. If Youtube made some guarantee that the money I spent would only go to the creators I watch, I'd subscribe instantly.

> The only RE investing that still works is buy, rent, have retirement equity in 30 years, maybe

Yes. What other way could you possibly reliably generate positive cash flow with real estate as a normal person without a lot(!) of initial equity?

Common advice where I'm from is buy tiny apartments without rent cap in good locations (Stuttgart, Vienna, etc.) on maximum loan runtime to refinance later and rent them out. Preferably one every 1-2 years. These typically cost anywhere around € 120-150k and the common 20% deposit can be earned reasonably quickly. Banks will usually be completely fine with this as long as you have positive cash flow and you can write off a lot of things around your business as a renter on your income tax forms in most countries.

I have only ever heard variations of this advice. Never anything else.
This explanation doesn't make any sense to me. The business model of stores buying gold is to pay below the market price. If their nominal price+taxes paid to the seller ends up higher than the above the market price, the business isn't profitable, and they'd stop buying.
When the thought becomes something tangible and that can be possibly shared in a very fast and efficient way, is it still just a "thought"?

>staying in jobs past retirement

Keep in mind that the main reason for today's seniors to continue working after age 65 is because the ladder was already being pulled up when their fathers and grandfathers were in their teens & 20's, by the same forces that are still acting today.

If you do the math you would have to figure that the majority of people working to reduce opportunities for today's young people, are not senior citizens but mainly just a different class of younger people closer in age to their 20's than their 60's.

>Really, any sufficiently simple path to wealth that doesn't involve the capital class gets patched out by the system relatively quickly

So true, but sometimes quicker than others.

It's more like a zero-sum outcome for seekers of a simple path to riches before a certain age, of which there is never going to be enough opportunity to satisfy.

You can't buy yourself out of a financial system by working for money.

You don't stand a chance unless you work for something else more worthwhile.

I mean, it's working. They are #1 on Hacker News currently - so like it or not they should continue doing this if that is their goal.
At least in the USA, our Supreme Court has basically legalized bribery. It's a 9-0 consensus, in their mind bribery is just how democracy works. This is what happens when ethics rules don't apply or are repeatedly ruled unconstitutional (something something fox guarding the henhouse), your term is for life, and you wield silly amounts of unchecked power.

I am a dev who work mostly on C-only codebases and it's so... relaxing when I get the opportunity to write C++ so I can use stuff like std::vector or std::string. I think of C++ as a scripting language. On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to reading other people's C++.

Many libraries for python, Rust, golang support COPY BINARY.

The times I've tested it, the improvement is very small as compared to plain copy, or copy with CSV, whereas it does require more work and thought upfront to ensure the binary actually works correctly.

That's not true, the justification outlawing CSAM being the result of a crime is not the actual legal justification for banning it and it would not at all hold up in court.

There are plenty of incredibly disturbing videos and images of some of the most gruesome crimes committed and they are lawfully accessible and obtainable on the open Internet, including some such images on Wikipedia. The documenting of a crime is not and has never been illegal.
> if it becomes a daily habit, then you're missing out on other choices with better long-run returns

If you quit that habit, it might make you miserable enough to make even worse financial choices.

These petty expenditures are a tax on misery.

Anecdote: My father's criminal history (racketeering) more-or-less forced him into a career in backbreaking construction in order to support his family when he got out of prison. He would come home after work with burns from creosote and often looked as if he had gone balls-to-the-wall in the gym all day. Back then, I wouldn't dare think to try to separate him from his cigarettes and lottery tickets. It would have been cruel.
> New tooling just lowers the barrier to execution

The word "just" here is doing a lot of work considering scale is usually the difference between something being harmless and dangerous. I think this is a blind spot with technical types as to the intent of the law. We ban things all the time that are easy to do, like shoplifting or graffiti. It's not a failing of those laws that marker pens are cheap and blank walls are everywhere.

Worth noting, I haven't read the proposed law in question and don't have an opinion on it yet. I just don't think the reasoning of something being easy means we shouldn't attempt to legislate it if it has demonstrable harm to society.
This is a good point. If I would have grown up today I would possibly have done other things that aligned with the same kind of interests, and perhaps even have gotten further. Kids these days can, and do, build actual robots and UAVs with onboard processors with more FLOPS than you could even dream of back in the old 75MHz pentium days.
And getting easier. Producing fully animated, voiced, real time deepfake videos will be trivial within a few years
