That's funny, I was just working on a POC like this today[0] - it's accurate most of the time for my location but I haven't tested from other locations. You'd need to tweak the 'known' servers on and off to fin

A digital signal can't be as "flawed" as an analogue one. The analog synthesizers exploit these flaws to produce richer and more interesting sounds that you just can't get in the digital world as it's too determinis

Exactly, what I'm trying to explain (although it's not easy as it's not very intuitive), is that we get more interesting sounds by clipping a signal's peaks to square because it is identical to _adding_ lots of different

That's cool, but it doesn't really explain _why_ the sound becomes more interesting. It has to do with how the sound is played back, in short, there are no "square" waves. Everything is a combination of sine waves. The m

You could pass it through a Google Translate, or maybe a couple, then back - correct for minor errors and style has changed (maybe not that much, but enough to scare AI).

Any specific vendors we should be aware of? :)

Exactly, it's a kind of hubris that people seem to claim knowledge about the brain just by observing vague electrical signals from afar. The delusion comes from the fact that we seem to know a lot about the heart, the kidney, the bones

The numbers seem to suggest that it's a simple mechanic - hey just 302 neurons - but a single neuron cell is immensely complex, containing millions of molecules, trillions of atoms that all interact with each other in unknown, unpredic

Clickbait. According to the article: "There’s no evidence that CAM4 was hacked, or that the database was accessed by malicious actors." but rather: "security review site Safety Detectives found that CAM4 had misconfigured an

No, it was not given a Promise. It was given a foreign object from another window. If you want to inspect another window you should not be reusing code that is designed for single threaded operations. Instead, have a layer that translates,

Then instanceof will break for all native objects. Who writes code that checks instances across window boundaries? This is flawed beyond the idea of how to properly check an instance, it's bad architecture - the result? This post, and

Right, making significant changes to the entry points of a library should be marked as a breaking change and bump the major version.

These cases should really be handled at the compilation/transpilation level, since there is one, and users should just write latest generation JavaScript without these concerns.

And it doesn't even check if it's a Promise. It's violating it's own naming contract. At least it should be called: isPromiseLike? To check if something is actually a Promise all you need to do is a `foo instanceof Promi

I was thinking the same thing today. I wonder if it can be done in on-the-spot, like capture your image from the camera initially and then send the rest as data points for deepfake generation on the other side, but based on your own image.

This is the most frictionless implementation I've ever seen for OAuth sign-in, congrats for the work and thank you for the effort. Perfect for lazy folks like me. I'll definitely use it somewhere.

One solution that has helped me is this extension[0] that reads pages using Google Wavenet, which is a very decent AI generated text-to-speech, so it's almost like listening to a lecture in YouTube. It takes a bit to setup but after yo

Please, be a garbage person and release stuff. Don't be a tidy person who bikesheds and procrastrinates forever, like most of us. Garbage persons make the world go round. Edit: Lovely game, btw! Congrats.

That is an interesting approach and you might actually be an outlier. However, in a generic context, the idea is that someone needs to take breaks to minimize the risk of exhaustion and other medical problems and it does make a difference i

The direction is purely philosophical. Things are changing from one state to the other. Even if it was backwards, you'd still convince yourself that it is the forward way. Things simply change.

Are there distinct events in the real world or we simply draw the lines arbitrarily simply for the sake of practicality? The whole existence could be the light of a match, experienced in an immensely detailed spacetime scale.
