Supermium in specific will let you render text with GDI (for performance, probably?), videos are played with FFMPEG but that still means hauling untrusted footage outside of the sandbox for hardware decoding, and there's still countles

Because bi- is two, tri- is three. Ti- is meaningless, and not good enough of a joke to make up for it.

Here I thought part of the allure of suckless development was that simple code held less bugs and was more flexible given fewer moving parts.

This is something I rarely see addressed. AI proponents always fall back to "it's just a new tool, just like all the old new tools that made things easier" but all the old new tools only opened up more degrees of freedom by a

The printing industry's doing fine. There's big printers, small printers, they're doing more printing per person, but there's also far more printing being done total, and so far more people working in the printing indust

It's pretty obvious from the whole comment that they're his own experience. Are you going anywhere with this or are you just saying things?

They uploaded 3 sample files for the authors, there were more failures than that, and the failures that GP and others have experienced are of a less tolerable nature. This is the point I was making, that the value added by classifying files

The text file isn't to stop the bad actor, it's to let you send DMCA requests to their host/search engines.

Yes. Unpredictable failures are significantly worse than predictable ones. If file messes up, it's because it decided a ZIP-based document was a generic ZIP file. If Magika messes up, it's entirely random. I can work around file&#

...It's in the comment you were responding to. Directly above the section you quoted.

It's three files that were scraped from (and so publicly available on) the web. That's not at all similar to your strawful analogy.
736.
by jdiff 3y ago
Nobody's asking for perfection. But the AI is offering inexplicable and obvious nondeterministic mistakes that the traditional algorithms don't suffer from. Magika goes wrong and your fonts become audio files and nobody knows why.

You might be surprised. Rename your Photo.JPG as Photo.PNG and you'll still get a perfectly fine thumbnail. The extension is a hint, but it isn't definitive, especially when you start downloading from the web.

Yes. They do now. Not because of boredom but for ideological reasons. The pay and working conditions at the end of the road certainly aren't worth the debt and stress required to get there. Not everyone's a specialist surgeon cate

As it should always be. Not that it is currently, not with these pesky billionaires.

My mental image is one of unelected, untouchable oligarchs taking actions that they're accountable to nobody for. That's far worse than Scrooge McDuck.

This system doesn't eliminate people. It eliminates the pointless and harmful hoarding of wealth.

Your argument is built on assertions and assumptions that do not stand up to reality. It's not my imagination, its your own words. AI will do nothing to demand for CSAM because the premise is faulty.

That's assuming a lot of things that are shockingly poor choices to assume. Like that the only reason children are exploited is for photographs.

People have been saying that for decades before generative AI was a glimmer in anyone's eyes. Even the story we're commenting is of someone who was doing both. It's time to retire that tired theory.

by jdiff 3y ago
We've had fake images for decades, with people justifying it the same way. "Drawings of children mean real children aren't being abused." I've yet to see the slightest shreds of evidence supporting that claim.

Why throw designers under the bus here? It would be just as easy to add one additional <button> or <a> if it weren't for the same reason the designers didn't do it: management.
