Das Mädchen (girl, neutral)

Tbh it was kinda fascinating to see how strong the tricks your mind can play on you can be. The guy was thoroughly convinced he'd been shot. He was all "my legs are numb" and shit. His brain told him he'd been hit by a bullet, and his body believed it without the force or the sound of a gunshot.

Because that's physically impossible for tons of people. CGNATs are very common.

Well nothing is impossible, but it does complicate things very much. Certainly outside "just run a container and call it a day" territory.

Is that ipv8?

Have they given an explanation as to why that is? I mean why make it a fatal error that prevents compilation, when you could make it a warning and have the compiler simply skip it?

No need to look for a conspiracy, this sort of thing happens all the time to all sorts of companies. Maybe it's a patent they want, maybe they want the talent, maybe they want the assets, maybe they want to remove a competitor... It's really not that unusual.

To you, maybe.

That's... a rather huge drawback. Why even pay for a shield at that point?

Manually optimizing the code I wrote in C, so that it runs noticeably slower and has all sorts of stupid bugs that weren't there before. All in a good night's work.

It's more practical though, from a more general UX perspective where the U is often a non technical person. If you throw a "ur browser doesn't support webserial(or whatever)" message up on the screen, you're just gonna confuse tons of users who won't even know what the hell you're talking about. Easier (for everyone) to tell them to just use what you know works.

I don't think it is, honestly.

1. AI sucks at legible text in general. It can certainly do it, but very often the text very clearly does not belong there. You can usually tell it wasn't written or printed there by anyone, it just does not fit very well. This image has very natural looking text in the lower right corner, on that bag thing.
2. AI sucks at consistent reflections in the eye. This dog has a pair of quite consistent reflections in its eyes. You can even see the phone that's taking the photo in its right (our left) eye.
3. AI images are generated from noise. Some of that noise is leftover at the end of the process, especially when you're rendering intricate stuff, like fur. That noise looks blurry, but it looks nothing like blur. I can't see any of that in this image, it all the natural smartphone post-processing and compression feel, mixed with regular ol' blur of being out of focus.
4. AI sucks at consistently aligning lines in the background when they're interrupted by an object in the foreground. Like edges where the wall meets the floor, or edges where walls meet each other. Very often the AI does create a continuous wall behind the object, but the lines will be misaligned. None of that here.
5. AI is also not the best at drawing thin hair-like things that stick out against "open" background, like individual strands of hair or, in this case, whiskers. They often look wrong somehow.

Now none of those things is sufficient evidence by itself because AI can and will occasionally get those right, but together all at once, they make a convincing case that this image is altered at best, but probably not AI generated.

Sql errors: there be a syntax error roughly over there I think. Or maybe it's a semantic error somewhere else I'm not entirely sure. Listen man all I can say is that this one comma there definitely has something to do with it probably, and the error is most certainly either to its left or to its right.

No, that's something else. Circular breathing is breathing in through one orifice and out through another at the same time. What that person described is just reversing the direction of your whistling. You still breathe either in or out at once, but sound comes out of your face either way. It's really not hard at all to do.

Dries out your mouth pretty quick though.

Traction is not the only factor. How does this new tire affect steering? How much noise does it make as it rolls on the ground? How much noise does it make as air flows over it at high speed? How durable is it? How does it handle high rotational speeds? How does it handle impact? How does it handle braking? How does it handle different weather and road conditions, different temperatures? How does it treat the road surface? And can it be manufactured at such huge scales? There are plenty of reasons why it might very well be completely unsuitable as car tires.

There are plenty of tires that are puncture-proof. But they all have other major downsides. They're all a different combination of expensive, loud, uncomfortable, and unsafe. That's why none of them ever caught on beyond some specific applications.

It's a very crude way of detecting presence for a variety of reasons, and likely won't be as useful as you imagine.

The biggest problem is how modern smartphones handle networking when they're locked. They enter a power saving state where they don't respond to all pings, or they respond late enough that the pinger decides the device is just not there. Of course there are ways around it, but those are things you need to do explicitly so it won't work on all devices until you've taken the time to set it up.

And since it detects a mobile device's existence in the local wireless network rather than the actual presence of a human being, it's not very flexible at all. What if you want to detect the presence of a guest? Are you gonna make sure they're on your network with their devices set up to properly respond to pings? What if you forgot to turn on your phone's wifi after turning it off?

I mean it does work once you've set it up, but do expect it to have a very limited scope in what you can and cannot do with it.

Doesn't explain why we don't use them to sanitize rooms while we're not in them.

What does explain it is that UV also damages stuff too. You use it to sanitize your living room, and soon the fabric on your couches will start losing their color. The paint on your walls will start flaking off. The plastic frames of the frames on the wall will start crumbling away or turning sticky. Nobody wants that in their house.

Home automation nerds would also cream their pants if they could get their hands on this. Imagine you could use your existing wifi router to detect presence in your home. Say goodbye to shitty IR sensors that forget about your existence within 3 seconds, no more finicky radar modules that are either too sensitive or not nearly sensitive enough.

The show where they have to sex each other in super sexy horny sex to cast some spell. Yeah sex magic wooo!! And what does the spell do? It just creates a column of light that some guy can use as a beacon to navigate.

My eyes rolled so hard I saw the back of my own skull.

Not the guy you replied to, but my LG webos TV worked just fine after I added a whole bunch of domains to my pihole blacklist. Got rid of A LOT of crap from the "homepage". Made it a hell of a lot cleaner and overall more usable. There are compiled lists of domains per brand and per region. Just find one that fits your bill.

I use past tense because last week I finally created a kodi box and took the TV offline entirely. Now it's even better.
