The problem is that it doesn’t matter if someone is told something isn’t true, their beliefs aren’t changed.

The concern around deep fakes is that they could be used to trick people, fair enough, but apparently tricking people doesn’t require much, if any, believably. Throughout history up to today people are tricked by the most obvious untruths w

It would be nice if this was one tool, rather than two overlapping tools with some incompatiblies between them.

It works quite well, but you need a host that isn’t blocked, and they tend to block AWS IPs, so you have to change the IP every now and then. For browsing SwitchyOmega works well with ssh.

My AT&T iPhone wasn’t blocked when roaming in China, it seems they make exceptions for foreign phones. They’re censors are very clever at knowing where the limits are.

It’s not the same, Comcast and other ISPs don’t tamper with HTTPS, and if they break the HTTPS connection then it’s a clearer problem for the ISP to troubleshoot than corruption. Sorry I don’t understand what double wrapping has to do with

Yet it’s actually not simpler for the user, since their transfer can then be tampered with either by accident or intentionally leaving the user with a broken download and then what do they do? A redownlaod from a different mirror makes no d

Which countries? I’ve only seen HTTP connections tampered with in practice, and China’s GFW blocks HTTP no different than HTTPS from what I’ve seen.

He never explains why he wants to use HTTP, it’s only about why he thinks HTTPS isn’t nesscary.

It’s missing customer acquisition cost, this is pretty important imo because it gives you a framework to measure and explore ways to improve it.

That’s my core understanding too, the model is essential and that not only rubs statisticians the wrong way but also the current luminaries in deep learning get visibly irritated by that too. The irony is that JP was very successful with st

It’s satstics applied to cultural anthropology in its current form, it doesn’t have a hard underpinning and changes from culture to culture. So it’s just relative opinions most of the time.

It’s not about pretend science IMO.

Bitbucket’s killer feature is integration with JIRA and the rest of the Atlassian stack, so I doubt it’ll have much impact.

CenturyLink isn’t exactly an underfunded provider though.

The meta issue here is that they didn’t have a plan to then validate the changes afterwards. And Grab’s contractors being from India know that streets can be unpredictable and change since it’s assuredly the same for them too and not just a

They let Valve know in advance I’m sure, it’s a small industry and the polite thing to do with friends.

No I’m sure they wouldn’t do that, at least as long as Tim is in charge.

Epic Games Store to compete with Valve’s Steam(eurogamer.net)

Yes, it’s also because platforms control what you can expirence, and if they feel it competes with their platform in someway they disallow it. So studios aren’t going to tolerate that going forward.

by jamp897 8y ago
As there’s more competition from studios entering the publishing space you should be able to get a better deal, with better and more current tech. The up side is Steam gives you visibility to a large player base with new publishers won’t ha

Many larger studios are working on self publishing and have projects in the works. The percent that Valve takes even at 20% is still too high, but the bigger issues is that Valve locks up your users so when you make your next game you have

The core issue is that you need to establish a norm, but without an absolute point of reference such as enlightenment it’s like trying to walk strait in a dessert which is not possible. But if you bring this point up of going in circles the

Exactly, the west part is that we tend to think that everything in the west is the whole world or whole field, when Asia is light years ahead in this case in that they focus on the underlining logic mathematically.

by jamp897 8y ago
Psychology in the west is really a form of cultural anthropology, in that it’s just measuring behaviors for a specific set of people but not the underline mind directly. So this would make sense IMO that you can’t repeat many of the studies
