I am referring to highly compressed images or low resolution ones, at high bitrates mostly all formats look the same. what i mean is that jpeg squarish artifacts look ok while av1 angular artifacts look distorted

I wonder how much of JPEG good quality is that we are quite accustomed to its artefacts.

those percentages only apply if you decide not to do any of the various legal variants of money laundering

It would be nice to have them auto-generated in the source, like a autofixable lint rule where the compiler add the annotations to your source code.

so my examples would be (1, (sum:2)) and (1, sum:2)?

How do you distinguish a tuple with both positional and named fields from a tuple that has a record as a field Like how do you write the type of (1, {sum:2}) ? Is it different from (1 , sum :2)?

"password too long" for password shorter than a megabyte is the most idiotic error ever created. It only makes sense in HTTP basicauth and other system that keep plaintext passwords.

Do LLMs inference engines have a way to seed their randomness? so tho have reproducible outputs with still some variance if desired?

A WebSocket starts as a normal http request, so it is subject to cors if the initial request was (eg if it was a post)

I completely agree with the author but during my brief presence in academia I discovered (was told by someone I trusted who claimed to have seen it) that some subfields of biology liked how publishers helped with typesetting and proofreadin

To make a bit of a strawman of what you are saying even better still would be an unplugged power cable as a turned off machine is (mostly) unhackable. To be more serious seurity is often in conflict with simplicity, efficiency, usability, a

Kernel level exploits are more dangerous but also way less common, for a lot of places docker is sorta okay as a security boundary

Imho the complexity and cost of having super short-lived access tokens is worse than eating up 1 more per-request db lookup

I agree that oligopolies are more stable than polyopolies, but a huge part of why the internet collapsed in a handful of companies is how stock markets and venture capital love monopolies.

The issue with JWTs is that it is very often misused standard
319.
by afiori 1y ago
> That's what makes JWT-based calls stateless: > I decrypt it to get the userId, then do the role lookup A if every auth needs a database lookup then it is not stateless. A JWT is stateless if and only if you trust its signature
320.
by afiori 1y ago
But then how are JWT different from opaque session tokens? Both still need server side checks for anything The truth is that JWTs have always been meant for authorization, they just were applicable to very few cases almost exclusively at Go

I don't actually know but I guess the issue is that the theme/gui libraries are sandboxed too

I want to add something to this: abandoning the fire layer allows for richer custom flows (which to many are arguably worse) For example the file API does not allow a clean, uniform, and reliable way to associate a resource with some metada

My main issue with either "the speaker defines the meaning of words" and "the listener defines the meaning of words" is the resulting definition is useless for all practical and theoretical concerns. It is a meaningless

In that case the author is their own audience

by afiori 1y ago
This is a PR truism not a philosophical/linguistic one. If you are trying to tell something to someone you should say it so that they someone understand what you want them to understand. It does not mean that the audience can on the fl

This is the same as saying that words have no meaning! Under this mental framework why would it be wrong to say that every living human can speak fluent french? How would you even know which language anyone is speaking? Counterproposal: wor

The parent said that words mean what the speaker wants them to mean, you are saying that words mean what the listener understand them to mean.
