played? Past tense? You must be joking
- Comment on Take It Down Act Has Best Of Intentions, Worst Of Mechanisms 2 days ago:
because of the “perceptual” part.
A normal hash has the property that it produces wildly different hashes for even the tiniest of changes in the file.
Perceptual hashing flips that requirement on its head, and therefore makes finding a suitable hash function much harder.

if you want to have a reliable driverless system, you’re going to have to invent trains… again
- Comment on What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs? 4 days ago:
they would need to develop balanced mechanics. Level scaling completely ruins any sense of progression.
- Comment on Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence so far 5 days ago:
They want AI because apple tells them they do.
They also don’t want AI because their experiences say the opposite.
- Comment on Thief has a new spiritual sequel, built by the Deus Ex and System Shock devs 1 week ago:
deus ex… thief…
multiplayer.
It doesn’t add up

if you pull the googly eye off of the rusty orb, it might rust!

shouldn’t b loop until it’s <a instead of <=a ?
- Comment on tickling ur spidey senses 1 week ago:
no, but I used to have one. He didn’t like looking for them either.
- Comment on tickling ur spidey senses 1 week ago:
I LOVE finding bugs.
I HATE looking for them
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
it is not possible to have a property as an investment, without screwing someone else over. So yeah, her too.
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
so if there was a smile, why did the edited poster have to have one edited in? She is not smiling in that photo. You can zoom in and point to any slight asymmetry you want. Fact of the matter is, if you ask anyone who’s not you, they’ll say she is dead serious
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
yeah… that’s not a smile.
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
what smile???
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
buzzword or not, that is the expression all of us make when we’re not making an expression. Eyes open, not tense, not smiling for no reason.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 2 months ago:
not in the slightest. But the apps are free
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
no, that’s called a “resting bitch face”, not “resting face”
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
there is no attacker. nobody attacked her. She doesn’t like it, sure. But she wasn’t attacked.
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
you described almost every “resting face”.
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
but… she wasn’t assaulted…
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
what does her expression tell you about her character?
- Comment on Cynthia Erivo calls out fans who made their own Wicked poster 2 months ago:
The original’s smile communicates much more stuff than the eyes on the face that looks like it’s completely bored.
Trying to “communicate with her eyes” is exactly what makes the poster bad.
- Comment on Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable 2 months ago:
yeah, so that means that it’s not incremental improvement on what we have that we need. That will get us nowhere. We need a (as yet unknown) completely different approach. Which is the opposite of incremental improvement.
- Comment on Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable 2 months ago:
because, having coded them myself, I am under no illusions as to their capabilities. They are not magic. “just” some matrix multiplications that generate a probability distribution for the next token, which is then randomly sampled.
- Comment on Eric Schmidt: ‘We’re not going to hit the climate goals. I’d rather bet on AI solving the problem.’ With "alien intelligence"! 2 months ago:
the first advice the superintelligent ai would give: “power me down”
- Comment on Don’t believe the hype: AGI is far from inevitable 2 months ago:
incremental improvements on a dead end, still gets you to the dead end.
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 2 months ago:
i hate coding for browsers. To that end, I do not actually know css. I just called it padding when I wrote my own qr code library, because it was easier to say than “quiet zone”.
Just like “dots” or “pixels” are easier to say than “modules”
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 2 months ago:
the bottom one is not a qr code. The padding is part of it.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarok Mod Removes PSN Requirement and Creator Vows to Maintain It 2 months ago:
they can’t if they distribute the mod as a patch, “for educational purposes”
The patch does not contain anything proprietary.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement 2 months ago:
exactly. Their complaints are actually relevant to the game, not some unrelated ideology
