The problem is not being filmed, when the recording is used in small circles. The problem is when it's published for the world to see. As a rule of thumb, for my children at school, I refuse any use of their image if it's not for

Doesn't a LIDAR break digital cameras? Maybe those who don't want to be filmed should be walking around with some portable LIDAR device, de facto breaking the cameras of people who don't respect their desire to not be filmed.

And the best thing about CSV is that it is a text file with a standardized, well known, universally shared encoding, so you don't have to guess it when opening a CSV file. Exactly in the same way as any other text file. The next best t

LLMs do not hallucinate. They just choose the most probabilistic next token. Sometimes, we, humans, interpret this as hallucinating, not knowing any better, not having any better vocabulary, but being able to refrain from anthropomorphizin

Humans think with inductive and deductive reasoning. First inductive, then we generalize and deduce, which allows for quick decision-making, hence increases our survival fitness. I don't know how the transition is done from inductive t

Actually, when learning to read, you want children to be exposed for a long time and recurrently to a large quantity of text. The quality of the text should be a later objective, when reading has been acquired. Anecdotally, I've tried

Blind-typing an SMS on a Nokia 3310 was so fast... or at least that was the feeling. I still regularly miss those keyboards, in particular when I hesitate between swiping a word or typing it, guessing how autocorrect will fail if I don'

Why doesn't anyone rewrite some of these tools in a language that can be compiled to a native binary by GraalVM and benefit of all Java's security guarantees? Would it be too slow? Don't the advantages outweigh the inconveni

Yeah, but maybe this should be a bit more specific and state that one should always be the thumb. And then, why have we evolved with 5 of 4 is enough? Is it for redundancy, in case one fails? If yes, why is there no second thumb?
