I once chatted with a police department Twitter account that used to publish names and pictures of people arrested. They had said it was their duty to inform the public and I had told them they could do that without attaching stigma to peop

You're right, @davidlattimore seems to have answered that.

Congrats! Was the "Show HN" feedback useful, and did it affect how you developed the product?

Yeah, I can't detect it at all. When dreaming, everything feels 100% real despite how unrealistic it gets: my vision is blurry, it's always in a darker hue even in the daylight, colors are grayish, i can't reason, my long ter

You're right, there is a peripheral sensory mechanism involved that generates a rough rendering, but the details are filled in by our brain.
616.
by sedatk 2y ago
I'd still call that permanence module :) AFAIK, that the way our vision works is that our eyes only see a narrowly focused region in detail and the rest of our periphery is generated by our brain (based on what we saw there before). Th

That's pretty much how my dreams work. For example, I can read in my dreams (like signs, books), but it's almost always one word at a time, and the rest of the text becomes impossible to focus while I'm reading that word, no

I can't get Sonic because apparently they don't have permits to operate in the underground conduits in my neighborhood. For some reason, AT&T has that. It's frustrating to say the least.

In Turkish, numbers don’t affect plurality: 0 apple, 1 apple, 2 apple. But you still say “I ate all the apples” in plural.

It's only circular reasoning if you ignore the mathematical model of evolution. Evolution is simply that your chances of picking a red ball from a jar increases proportionally to the number of red balls in the jar. What you're say

Wasps and bees have different ecological constraints with different risks involved. There is no contradiction here. They evolved as the fittest in their own constraint set. If bees weren’t fit enough, they would have gone extinct and replac

As I said before, if someone’s determined enough to spend a lot of time find OS level vulnerabilities and exploit them to decrypt my disk, they will certainly have enough time and determination to break a weak password.

by sedatk 2y ago
No, I use biometrics login for the same reasons. I have a strong password, but 99% of the time, I don’t need it.

True. Maybe it can be dumbed down to a low-end model specifically for this type of detection.

Both ChatGPT 4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet can identify the generated page content as "random words".

Because I don't expect a random thief to go to the lengths of identifying OS level vulnerabilities to bypass the login prompt in order to decrypt the disk contents. The potential gains for them are marginal compared to the time and eff
