Yeah, they still work somewhat as in they raise the bar on how complex the bot needs to be.

Believe me, there's tons of spammers out there that have captcha cracking bots. They're just not as dumb as the basic skiddie that can barely make a http POST.

Captcha's were supposed to separate bots from humans. Now it separates simple bots from complex bots.

Oh, and as a bonus, a lot of places hire people to create accounts and post spam for pennies.

Just like publicly displayed art doesn't provide a permission to copy it and use it in other unspecified purposes

But it kinda does. If I see a van Gogh painting, I can be inspired to make a painting in the same style.

When "ai" "learns" from an image, it doesn't copy the image or even parts of the image directly. It learns the patterns involved instead, over many pictures. Then it uses those patterns to make new images.

we can say goodbye to having queer thoughts in secret

And suddenly half the republicans were against it for .. ethical reasons

shifty eyes Yes, 100 grams is quite a lot. Yes. Indeed. Quite right.

You severely underestimate my cheese eating ability

Do you control your thermostat via ir remote?

If so, an esp32 or esp8266 running esphome and an ir led connected to a pin might be a solution.

Would cost like 3 dollars in parts from AliExpress, and you could connect it to home assistant or node red for more control or automation.

You could also add a temp sensor like for example ds18b20, which are also pretty cheap, if you want to be able to read temperature remotely or automate based on temp

So, it's a decoy snail?

WhatsApp uses the same encryption schema as signal.

There's basically 3 ways to verify a certificate.

1. TOFU - trust on first use - save the certificate print first access and remember it so you know if it gets changed
2. WoT - web of trust - other certificate holders verify the certificate and hopefully you find a chain to someone you trust.
3. Central authority - the most popular. A central entity verifies and goes good for the identity.

In all three you need to trust someone, and ask three are a pain to transfer something to new owner.

NFT gives a fundamentally new option here, that's transferable and doesn't require trust. That it's been used for and gotten known for monkey scams is a shame.

His heart is black

I'm not surprised by this whole thing at all, the only thing I'm kinda surprised about is that people are surprised by this in the first place.

Even in the first video I saw of him it already showed he did semi basic hardware mistakes and was kind of an ass, and that was years ago.

I've never taken him seriously, sort of taken him for a .. I dunno, for lack of better comparison, tucker Carlson like. Not a right wing crazy, but more of an asshat only to be viewed for entertainment and his "facts" never to be taken seriously.

Apparently many seem to think just that

The kraken, was it?

At least it made those zombie movies look downright optimistic in comparison

Depends. How is your appetite for red porridge with cream?

It doesn't have to be.

One of my experiments, an overlay for a game using camera position API to draw a 3d scene over the game, rendering things as if they were in the game (with some limitations) uses electron and three.js

It's pretty fast, uses about 100-150mb ram, and works pretty well. A similar overlay using same approach but written in C and opengl take ~200+ mb and a c# one 150-250 mb. The c# one has more features overall so it's not a complete comparison, but then my overlay can do things the other can't too.

I've made some great and somewhat complex designs using freecad, it's certainly capable.

I eventually switched to fusion 360 because of the UI and it's more easy to find help. And less need to find help
