The deep fake one looks very weird to me. The mouth is sometimes not closed and there is minimal movement on the upper lip on words that would need more.

There was also a segment on water usage in Cowspiracy for California I think. Water usage in industry is massive. Individuals aren't to blame and shouldn't take any part of the burden. Similarily, CO2.

Monero is completely private. Confidential transactions combined with bulletproofs [0] are an efficient way to deal with the added privacy. You cannot see who sent you the amount. Blockchain is fully encrypted and you cannot see any amounts

From looking at the code, Bash looks pretty clean. I also use Bash and AWK for preprocessing a lot.

Interesting. Previously I had to run the mounting command manually ever since I remember trying to mount an NTFS drive. It's read only.

I have no idea if I did something, but after MacOS 11 upgrade it seems to automatically mount my NTFS drive. I do know that FUSE MacOS stuff seems to be disabled in brew.

I know that tesseract uses leptonica which does have capabilities of binarization and thresholding. Interesting that it's not enough.

I was comparing hard working Madeira to other places with year long tourism. There, for some reason, culturally, they decided to work really hard all year. I was talking to a hard working cab driver and told him about seasonal tourism in Cr

Anyone knows why people decide to do this kind of time consuming work? Is the world getting hard enough that there is no alternative? Whenever I see people working really hard in other parts of the world, especially when the country is fill

It has been a dream of mine to go to sleep and wake up in a new country. This would be my only use case. Living in Europe, I do not find the commute time to be horrible (around 15 minutes anywhere I go).

It is definitely a step in the right direction, but given the current demand the development is too slow. Just look at China, with ~50 nuclear plants (just 5% of energy production), while they have thousands of coal plants. It's practi

If a wallet is issued by government and you are the only one that can see the amounts, then government can ask for a view key with which they can confirm your balance. This way there’s no way for anyone to store digital euros outside of gov

Of course, but then you have living examples like Bob Dylan. Some people have incredible pattern matching abilities and most artists I’ve met consume as much human culture as possible and great ones manage to conjure up something of their o

It’s such a shame that the rule makers do not see that if the system does not benefit the majority then they will be desperate enough to expand the rule set with violent acts and ultimately bring it down. French Revolution is definitely a d

I’m skeptical. When I lay down and not think I fall asleep. If I have to think hard and work I’m pretty sure something is keeping me awake but I’m not sure if it’s good for my health. I think similar thing happens to a degree when sitting.

Well, I did not say that ruminants aren't a part of regenerative agriculture. There's just not that many to support the current meat consumption levels. If you're going to grow ruminants just on grass, it takes a lot of time

Interesting. I definitely noticed the same issue with my English. My mother tongue Croatian had a reconstruction of the alphabet in the 19th century and these kinds of issues never appear. The orthography is phonemic almost. So the word you

There's really not that much meat in regenerative agriculture. Given the current per capita consumption of meat in kg, a regenerative ag operation could never accomplish that. Reducing to 4-30kg of meat per capita per year seems imposs

AFAIK renewables from physical standpoint do not cut it when it comes to our ever increasing energy needs. Needs too much surface area for solar. Wind just seems unreliable. Solar is as magical as nuclear plants are. It’s really sad that nu

If walking takes a toll on your body you should consider adding strength exercises (push-ups until they become easy, then bench press, bodyweight squats until they become easy then weighted squats, deadlifts etc.). I also experienced hip pa

It depends on what kind of adaptation you want. I personally view cardio as just a means to improve my cardiovascular system, not muscles. So I just do boring steady-state (where I can easily rap out a song or sing Bob Dylan's lyrics).

I guess the problem is that most users that play with an engine don't play bullet/blitz. I do meet a lot of engine players on 3 minute blitz but then I just do very fast bullet moves and all of a sudden I'm losing with a 90 s

I always wonder how people figure out these successful gigantic models if it takes hundreds of TPUs and days to train them. I recently bought rtx 3090 in hopes of playing around with some computer vision applications but I guess having 24GB

I find all mainstream attempts lacking. I feel as if the app is optimizing by AB tests across the whole population instead of trying to find a proper descriptor of my learning behavior and influencing the teaching actions according to that.

This is too b&w. Does a meat eater not care about the environment or the animals? Mining crypto does not mean you do not care about the environment. Heck, we all live in 1st world cities that are giant wastes of energy, we spend massive

Yeah, but you eat female mammals regularly which are filled with real animal estrogen.

Another thing that I observe is the insane amount of land animals that look beautiful. Compared to sea animals where, I would say, a majority looks quite disgusting or they have some features that are not appealing to the human eye. Humans
