All of those CRT simulators? Largely bullshit, and we still have them around to look at!

So it is able to correlate an image as porn and also correlate an image as containing children. Seems like it should be able to apply an AND operation to this result and identify new images that are not part of the data set.

Perhaps these folks should work together to make patches to the dataset to remove the problematic images? E: But also make sure every image in the dataset is properly licensed. This would have eliminated this entirely from the get go. Playi

That's why you, very early on, release code that slows the API down once it has been deprecated. Every place you issue a deprecation warning, you also sleep 60. Problem solved.

The US has a massively progressive tax system. On a net tax basis about 50% of the country pays nothing. Sure, they pay sales tax and employment taxes, but they also receive some mix of earned income tax credits, child tax credits, snap, me

You're just randomly creating new positions to argue about because why? There is no factual way in which whatever point you are trying to make holds true re. Russia/Cuba to the US is less than Russia/Ukraine to the EU & N

Yeah. GDPR is annoying as fuck.

I imagine the shortest path Russia->Ukraine->EU Members Romania/Hungary/Slovakia/Poland is far shorter than the shortest path Russia->Cuba->Any US State or territory.

Romania shares a border with Ukraine and is a member of both NATO and the EU.

If this is a security vulnerability, then these guys just documented their exploitation of said vulnerability. Sounds like a crime. Proper research would be to identify an issue, write up the issue, conduct a handful of tests, report the is

Would you trust a binary from a random developer to not contain/deliver a trojan? Russianness has nothing to do with it.

The fact that he spelled it out does not imply that it needed to be said. There is no idea in that letter, that is not personal history, that hasn't been said before.

Corporations large and small don't do anything. It's always a person. The question you are answering, even if you don't think you are, is whether a few people can get together and act in concert and still retain their rights.

The Meso-American civilizations routinely engaged in human sacrifice. Tens of thousands of people per year were murdered. These weren't peaceful monks quietly engaging in scholarly pursuits. Even if you don't personally drag victi

Musk's roadster is currently going in excess of 10,000 mph. Which bike is faster than that? :)

It's not particularly subject related, but that CRT filter applied to a 4x pixel multiplied image is just wrong.

In '92 I was writing ray tracing and multiple rays per pixel randomly distributed around the center of the pixel was well understood. It's just a kind of anti-aliasing.

When a writer reaches a national platform they see themselves as a taste maker, not a reporter. So they write what they think you should think. That's why so many articles tell you how you are supposed to feel about a thing, rather tha

That list is just things that the author doesn't like and is super vague anyway by using loosely defined abstractions.

I'm not dehumanizing it, I'm making it clear that photography is generally a passive activity. Where's the line between "don't record me" and "don't look at me"? If it's ok you look at you,

ITAR was circumvented for PGP by publishing a book of the source code and exporting that. I fail to see how publishing a video would be different.

There is a super obvious opt out that doesn't require people to take special actions. Don't go to places that allow recording.

Not trading with a despot can just be not trading with a despot. It doesn't have to have an agenda. If I personally choose to boycott a sneaker brand because I have a firm belief that they run sweatshops in a foreign country, is that c
