- Comment on How true is it? 1 month ago:
Technically it’s not the resolution that changes, but the optics (unless you want to bring out the fancy math and treat it as a sampling resolution thing based on smallest recognizable detail)
- Comment on Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies? 1 month ago:
Also so many head photos taken from an angle right in front of the face or a bit higher, distorting the shoulders in ways you don’t notice but which matters when the algorithm tries to splice everything together into an averaged model
- Comment on Where does the music go? 2 months ago:
There’s a physics argument that information can’t be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.

Some dumb shit I see is setting SPF so Google is a trusted origin for email “to solve issues with sending to Gmail addresses” when what you’re supposed to do is add your mail servers as trusted origin.
Directionality, how does it work?

It’s super easy to detect change of product category and a bunch of other similar major changes. Especially now with ML classifiers, it’s even easier. They could automatically lock the page and require review

- Comment on Anyone else feel like their blood is kind of vibrating? 4 months ago:
The high frequency of the gamma radiation mostly ignores the lens material, you have to be very very close for the geometry of the sensor and source and their alignment to significantly impact the noise in the image
