The voyager program was on a somewhat tight budget so I would imagine that had an impact. Having volatile memory is arguably a really good thing since it’s allowed them to patch the FSW on the vehicle in space a bunch of times, which a pret

The first part is fine because the search engine blurb isn’t a replacement for the thing itself. And I disagree with what ROM sites claim, you can’t just dump ROMs online and claim it’s not copyright infringement

The same benefit doesn’t exist for ChatGPT as Google because Google means people click on your site and you get ad revenue. Google even facilitates this in both directions with search ads and as an ad service you can get paid from for hosti

The fact that ChatGPT isn’t deemed copyright infringement is absurd. Like you can’t take the entire internet and use it to train your software and claim you’re not violating the copyright of thousands of people

It’s not as practical for the rental company to deal with the car as a gas one though

Honestly it’s hard to fault people for that when even if you are a tech person there are huge parts of how a computer works that you will just accept as magic because it’s too complicated to understand. For example I don’t really understand

People use VISA because they like the convenience and assurance it gives them over cash or a bank transfer, both of which don’t have a fee. Crypto both has neither and is more expensive per transaction.

There are still significant fees doing transactions over blockchain and those giant hegemonies are what allow things like charge backs and fraud detection while if somone hacks your wallet and steals all your crypto, it’s gone forever. It’s

There was a paper written by all women that did this lol But that’s not the same because we live in a world where systemic harassment of women in academia by men exists and the reverse doesn’t. Other than the ideological issue of using a pl

I’m a little surprised we don’t have 3 factor auth since smartphones make this easy to implement 1- something you are: required bio scan on phone 2- something you know- required password 3- something you have- your phone with 2FA already se

It’s a little tricky because if someone cloned your voice first they could pretend they were you and stop you from using “their” voice, then do nasty stuff with it. This way they can still do that, but they can’t prevent you from using your

The answer we see is that if you put AI generated stuff in places people don’t look at too carefully they won’t care because they won’t notice. I’m not sure that’s great precedent

No need, we have an ethically sourced Lena image here https://mortenhannemose.github.io/lena/

by Shawnj2 3y ago
The issue with Lena is objectification, the equivalent male photo would be like a picture of the chest of a bodybuilder.

by Shawnj2 3y ago
If you want your image processing algorithm to be optimized for the real world you should test against real photos. It’s not like we have a shortage of photos so synthetic data is absolutely necessary
110.
by Shawnj2 3y ago
From my understanding part of the issue is that people would use it as a test image for the sake of using Lena as a test image rather than actually picking a suitable image for their testing. I mean also this is a scientific publication whi

I still don’t understand what a fully realized crypto ecosystem would allow people to do that isn’t already being done well by standard technology. Like it or not, for most people doing most things, the government or large companies are sui

The hard part about learning C++ is the same stuff that’s hard about C, the rest is just stuff you can google TBH

by Shawnj2 3y ago
If you’re using a C++ project saying that all of your scripts related to that project must also be in C++ when Python would do fine is ridiculous. You should just pick a reasonable language

Planes and rockets are two sides of the same coin, an engineer can pretty much work at either if they want Well I guess there are some plane startups like Boom, companies working on green powered planes, and companies working on plane style

Yeah the problem isn’t that they edited the 737 design instead of doing a clean sheet- they did it twice before with nearly no issues and making a 737+++ is what the airlines would prefer over a clean sheet- the issue is the staggering amou

Tesla, SoaceX, Rocket Lab, most of the other NuSpace companies, other EV companies like Rivian, the hardware departments of Silicon Valley companies, and defense startups like Anduril are what I immediately think of
