Trump just got re-elected. Russia won’t face shit.

I mean, that all depends on what the MPL allows.

Yeah, makes sense to North Korea, too. I’m not sure they’re an example to follow, though.

To be clear, nation states controlling the tools that their employees and, potentially, wider population communicate and access information is a dystopian vision, and I cannot agree with that point at all.

Wow, what a way to take the most extreme POV possible on an issue.

Macnas is a performing arts group that had staged Halloween parades in Dublin since 2013. The COVID-19 pandemic stopped those parades until last year, but the group had not scheduled one in 2024.

That seems like a pretty f-ing important detail. The rest of the article and headline makes it look like a bunch of people showed up because of some random parade announcement, instead of people who were expecting an annual event and got some details from the wrong source.

Shitty tech opinions were flooding Medium before, so it’s not much of a difference.

3 * 2 = 6

3 + 2 - 1 = 4

So, close enough? How “close to 1” are you talking about?

If they didn’t want to be annexed by China, they shouldn’t have signed a treaty to do so.

Depends on the context. We’re talking about an image editor, so showing a demo of the features in video form is helpful.

I have a question: Is a FAQ case law?

These are Jem’Hadar, not Tamarians. The Jem’Hadar are dependent on a drug called ketracel-white, only given to them by their Vorta overseers.

So, it makes sense they would be depicted in an ADHD meme.

I’m sure that line of thinking will go over great when you stay home during Election Day and Trump magically gets elected.

With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.

Infinite budget? Bro, I know the exact location. Just go over there and knock on his door. Arrest the man and put him in jail for possession. One less thief out there taking advantage of the fact that the police doesn’t enforce the fucking laws.

The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.

They could, but they don’t.

In a world of home surveillance, doorbell cameras, and phones with constant GPS that can tell you the exact location of where it’s at, the police are more useless than ever.

The demo was neat, but it was hilariously overhyped, even in the abstract paper. It was pretty damn obvious that the researchers were just trying to continue funding their research with a PR push.

The more interesting aspect was the potential for better AI video processing, not creating a game engine. You can’t create a game engine without a series of defined rules, and you can’t define those rules without documenting it in programming language.

A Mastodon user stumbling upon one of these comments could easily assume that it is just another fully independent “toot” (Mastodon’s equivalent of tweet).

Wait, back up… Mastodon calls these “toots”? So, everybody is posting farts?

That’s the thing about automation and training models.

First, they implement some sort of auto-reporting bot that requires a human to review them. In the beginning, it only about 50% accurate, but as they give it more and more examples of good and bad results through the human reviews, it moves to 80%, then 90%, then 99%, then 99.99% accuracy.

After a while, the humans on the other end are so numb to the 9999 entries they have to mark as approved that they can barely tell what’s a rejection themselves, and the moderation team is asking itself just what this human review is actually doing. If it’s 99.99% accurate, why not let the bot decide?

Then, the model moves on from auto-reporting to auto-moderation.

Why EU leaders People should get off Musk’s X

FTFY.

The company added that it does not “listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement” and “regret[s] any confusion.”

That doesn’t sound like kooky bullshit to me. That sounds exactly like what the OP’s title suggests.

but is concerned about hosting fees for serving images to millions of people

People stopped caring about image bandwidth decades ago. Try wrangling a video-hosting problem, like PeerTube does.

(N.S.F.W.)
