That seems to be the point. Sure, anyone can inject their own noise into the initial image, but the best place to be for that would be the people hosting the model. A host could watermark their service and be able to identify images that th

Oh unfortunately there's no interesting tales in a rural area like this lol. I needed a job, stumbled on this listing, sent off an email, got told to swing by the shop some time. Most people here wear at least a little of everyone else

USPS or FedEx Ground via EasyPost, whichever's cheaper on a given day for a given package. I just punched in the numbers and a 6x6" padded envelope weighing a half a pound would cost us $4.12. I just shipped a 22x16x17" packa

There's something severely screwy with their shipping. To my rural US location, it'd cost $12 for the cheapest shipping for just one Ox64. I've shipped 15lb/7kg, microwave-oven-sized packages more than a thousand miles f

Opus is pretty widely supported (still some holes though, for example very few Adobe products support Opus), and it can sound better than MP3 at less than half the bitrate.

You can pick and choose which facts to present or misrepresent which/what is important but... that's not going on here. JXL is actually just better by very many metrics. It's only lacking in adoption. There's not somethi

With that Achille's heel in tiling and the slow and PoC-tier encode and decode performance, I'm amazed AVIF has gotten the adoption that it has. Add in that in lossless mode JPEG-XL is almost always smaller, sometimes by up to 4x,

Without a doubt. If you're lucky, they might know the difference between a JPEG and a PNG. This is a technical discussion at its core, you wouldn't expect Chrome's actual users to know about Flexbox or ES6, either. There'

No, HDR basically doesn't exist on Linux at this stage. I believe there's some (insufficient) scaffolding in the kernel for it, but no support in the common display stacks.

You do run into this sometimes. Flip dot displays can be pretty pricey, new or used, big and small, but after some chatting with the sales team I found out that they'd be happy to sell me a small refurbished panel (not listed in the pr

That seems like a disingenuous title, it's not abusing su, that's just one of the many things that tool was used for. That was never a bad practice, the tool just changed and pulled the rug out from under very many programs.

It's been working out fine for the Steam Deck. Sure, you can install Windows and/or any other storefront, but you won't have the console-like experience that Valve's own software provides. It's trivially easy to ins

That's kind of a nonsensical suggestion. You can't define this in a way significantly different than it already is that makes sense across devices. You can use metrics like "% of performance vs flagship product," which a

Electrolytic capacitors can dry out, boil out, oxidize, generally break down. There's many failure modes for them that can be caused by wear, age, or unuse.
