  • You’re not wrong. Research into models trained on racially balanced datasets has shown better recognition performance among with reduced biases. This was in limited and GAN generated faces so it still needs to be recreated with real-world data but it shows promise that balancing training data should reduce bias.

  • You jest but half a country are below average intelligence. It’s not outlandish to think that many individuals in that half aren’t really following what is being said or understand it. What they can follow is the visuals. How they look, how they stand, how they move; how they “read”. And a non-trivial number of above average people still judge books by their covers.

    I think the point the person above was trying to make is that Vance won the area the majority of people can evaluate and the importance of visuals.

  • Weirdly I’d say it was the other way around. Late 90s marketing used “AI” to inflate basic decision trees whereas “AI” in the context of this gun running an ANN model is a better application of the term. I’m old though; AI has been a buzzword since the 80s when every org wanted their own expert system (all pitched/marketing as “AI”). There was so much groundwork for these “AIs” that never really came to be - like the whole Semantic Web movement with RDF in the late 90s and ontologists in every major org. And now you can practically replicate that with few-shot.

    I’m not suggesting we’re near Data, far from it, but that AI has been a buzz word for a lot longer than people have noticed. It’s just a lot of the technology is now commodity and in consumer products, so the average person gets marketed to also. I remember pitches about the C128 and big orgs like GM swinging around AI for things like “it’s got more RAM” and “we’re using a database”.

  • Computer vision stuff has been labelled AI long before LLMs hit the scene and that’ll be what’s going on under the hood of this thing too. Sinden’s light gun required a big white box/border to be drawn around the edge of the screen so that it could track the movement of the box to understand where the gun is being pointed. Which is pretty ugly and you still had to mess around with getting emulators set up to use it (thus the product was pretty niche).

    If Dashine have got a model that can detect displays without the need for a border, that alone is epic. But also, by shipping a mini games console with the gun so you can just play a game with no messing about, it’ll get better sales numbers and possibly reignite interest in light gun games outside of the emulator space. Naturally there’s no light gun games on Steam, PS5, Xbox stores right now so you need the gun on the market first before you can energize developers to ship games for them. So Dashine have been smart with this and might “trigger” a return of this genre to living rooms. Fingers crossed!

  • Ever since the puck (and needing right click for some 3D modelling software - Ray Dream Studio), I’ve been using third party mice with any Apple computer I use. I had almost forgotten they even make mice.

  • This is StackOverflow after all. Your question is wrong. Your problem is wrong. You are wrong. I am right. Thread locked. Go read this other post that is totally unrelated to your problem I’ve decided isn’t the problem you’re facing because. I. Am. Right.

  • Then don’t use the apps? You’re getting angry about free apps that you aren’t forced to use or even install (they are not even installed by default so you chose to install them).

    Also as a LiO user since StarOffice, Apple’s apps are totally different beasts and I don’t see how they could be compatible. It’s like comparing Scrivener to WordGrinder; sure you can write a letter in both but they’re still fundamentally different apps with different functionality and design goals and their file formats aren’t ODF because of that.

    If you need ODF/OOXML-like word processing, use apps that support them. Don’t expect non ODF/OOXML-like word processors to handle files they’ve no reason to be mucking about with.

  • I agree with you. It’s not identity, it’s an account. Laypersons are used to drivers licenses (IDs) and bank accounts. The rename is definitely a welcome change and makes Apple consistent with Microsoft and Google etc.

  • Microsoft aren’t kicking people out of kernel space but expanding the capabilities in user space to minimize the reasons to need to run security components in kernel mode so they can develop and deploy solutions with minimal risk (no security vendor wants that risk when they’re running on business/enterprise machines like CrowdStrike).

    Kicking everyone out of the kernel is a long journey and even Apple, who are much further along this path, still haven’t completely closed the door on kernel extensions. It’ll be several Windows versions yet before kernel drivers are no longer a thing.

  • Not to excuse the developer but I empathise with why they might have felt compelled to change the license.

    One of the biggest pains for any open source project is distributions and packagers who package the software themselves yet make changes or configure in non-standard ways which leads to major overheads for upstream as everyone submits bug reports for bugs introduced down stream and have nothing to do with them.

    I feel we, as a community, need to be more vocal about when a project has been modified from the original source for packaging or distribution (where those changes weren’t pushed upstream) to demand the project be renamed in that instance.

    I feel for these small developers who do this in their spare time and find the community forcing more work on them and damaging their reputation without any fault of the developer but someone downstream who doesn’t care not want to support what they’ve packaged.

    Perhaps there are other solutions? Before other projects decide to use awful licenses and infringe on rights just to try and tackle the problems created by downstream.
