kinda crazy how much the drone explosions demolish buildings. i guess houses aren't made to be suddenly pressurized

reddithalation ,

you can spoof wifi networks, too

reddithalation ,

electric heat strips in an air handler is a common option

reddithalation ,

Your point makes sense, but an epoxy submersible definitely wouldn't make it down to the titanic intact even once, and there are some ways fibers could be put in tension by compressing the cylinder, so the CF was doing something, its just complicated. They shouldve just built a normal submersible though.

reddithalation ,

i dunno, too many teenagers have pretty much no concerns about (online) privacy at all

reddithalation ,

reminds me of geowizards episodes geolocating vacation photos for fun. this one was insane, similar in detail to the photo in the tweet

reddithalation ,

to be fair, there's still a bunch of other sora demo clips that are very impressive.

reddithalation ,

I don't think sora is good for anything or anyone other than openai making more money based on hype, but it seems pretty reasonable to me that the company that previously scraped the whole internet (violating everyones copyright) and trained one of the best text models on it, could do the same for video.

I mean, most of the clips they show have some noticable minor (or major) issues, and the "fail" examples are very obviously wrong.

I hadn't even seen the balloon head one, I only watched the clips they published when they announced it.

Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game ( twitter.com )

Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game. Every time you play a game a function is called to screenshot your PC's screen, in case Vanguard thinks you might have something suspicious, it screenshots your ENTIRE PC screen (all monitors)....

server side anticheat is the only ultimate solution.

all client side anticheat measures will have vulnerabilities that will be found and people will cheat. (look at DMA pci cards, for instance)

reddithalation ,

it simply wouldn't trust the client with anything the player shouldn't know, to minimize cheating potential. valorant does this, and made a blog post about it. also, player movement could be analyzed server side to attempt to distiguish between cheating and legit.

I think client side invasive anti cheat is likely more effective than this, but its a cat and mouse game. if the anticheat was server side and good, there isn't anything to attack

reddithalation ,

such a stupid thing to whine about. what if they got surgery and they are externally identical to a cis woman, do they still need to go in the ward for men? just let people be.

reddithalation ,

this is not a very good idea for the enviroment. recycled glass CAN BE remelted into more glass products, and crushing usable glass (that took lots energy to produce) and literally dumping it into the ocean is hilariously counterproductive. I like the sentiment though, just not what they are doing.

reddithalation ,

sure yeah, we need sand for erosion control, but getting it from glass that has already been manufactured (a carbon intensive process) and turning it back into a raw material, instead of remelting it into more useable glass, is a strange idea.

normally we take a raw material, and (with effort) turn it into a product people use, and if it can be reused after its first use, it makes a lot more sense to work on that, rather than turning it right back into raw material.

reddithalation ,

eh, i fly one for fun and they really are quite loud. maybe the area has multiple flying at once and they didn't notice just how close the sound was (somehow)

reddithalation ,

propellers are just loud. magic secret inventions won't change that much (recently there was a company that claimed to have silent propellers, the hobby fpv drone community tried to replicate what they showed but didnt get anywhere)

I think it's just hard to maintain constant awareness in war

reddithalation ,

yeah I haven't been able to view my profile for a while now.

reddithalation ,

I think one way is to use a domain host that is located in some country that doesn't care at all.

reddithalation ,

wow, really impressive. not good for
hobby rc though.

reddithalation ,

why do we need to drop hyprland over the lead dev's views, they are pretty bad, but its an open source project, and I joined the discord server and didn't immediately see any issues. vaxry even made a point of saying that they will accept PRs as long as they are good quality, regardless of personal views.

reddithalation ,

isnt this what CRAM is for?

reddithalation ,

Feels like the advances in AI are generally bad for everyone except nvidia and cloud providers. (You could argue its great for someone who can't code, but chatgpt and others are quite misleading, and I think they might be better off just learning to code.) AI was interesting when it was a bunch of researchers showing off cool demos, now its just horrifying.

reddithalation ,

Yeah, although that example kinda is one of the older, not very commercialized, tech demo uses of ai. It still could be misused, but the harm that could come from that specific app is very very minimal, compared to most uses of ai now.

reddithalation ,

and the engines aren't even really boeing responsibility, its the engine manufacturers.

Ukraine packed a Cessna-style plane with explosives, added remote controls and kamikaze’d it into a Russian drone factory 600 miles away ( www.forbes.com )

In a sharp escalation of its drone campaign targeting strategic industries deep inside Russia, Ukraine seems to have fitted Cessna-style light planes with remote controls, packed them with explosives and flown at least one of them more than 600 miles to strike a Russian factory in Yelabuga, 550 miles east of Moscow....

reddithalation ,

I doubt an imu could have so little drift that
it could hit a certain building though. I bet the gps just worked, I mean this was a place that people lived and used tech, not exactly an active warzone with gps jamming.

reddithalation ,

yes, but you can only download from peers with port forwarding enabled, and you can also only upload to port forwarding peers, so generally its fine for downloading, but if you want to keep ratio (uploading) on a private tracker you need port forwarding

reddithalation ,

huh I wonder what thermal camera they used and how, I don't think there are any hobbyist fpv ones available.

reddithalation ,

reminds me of this video that shows how they reverse engineered the macbook touchbar display and made their own driver. I bet a tv is harder, but I've wondered the same thing, and would be interested to see someone try.

reddithalation ,

allen pan. looks like him though, and allen almost became a mythbuster!

reddithalation ,

which they sell to you through microtransactions

reddithalation ,

I'm just saying that yes bedrock (and it's server) may have better mod features, but the mods end up being sold on the minecraft marketplace or whatever anyway. Yes you can download and install mods for free, but I bet the majority of players just buy them.

reddithalation ,

this is wild. people who use open source software are a small small minority, and its good to have a diverse group of friends, not a tiny insulated group of the internet. dropping a friend over their choice of messaging app is pathetic

reddithalation , (edited )

Why should that be illegal?? It's definitely disgusting, but if the paid customers don't want to see ads (they don't), then they will leave. I don't see how or why to make it illegal to show ads to paid users.

edit: I didn't really say that right, I just think that this is a complex problem, and saying "oh just make it illegal" is not a realistic solution. Some antitrust regulation is good for innovation, some more might be worse for innovation, and we need to be realistic about that, and not just act like we can regulate it all and then there will be 5 competing discords or whatever.

reddithalation ,

i think i've seen it used to demo different image compression algorithms, things like that. it was used as an easy example test image, but this journal has now banned papers from using it because it is weird and creepy to be using cropped porn for that. this won't benefit the model, but she was only pushing to ban it because she wants more women in IT fields.

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People ( www.404media.co )

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person.

reddithalation ,

i liked ai when it was a bunch of researchers messing around, but commercialized ai is horrifying.

reddithalation ,

its a shame its so large that no one has the money to clone it to their own servers (that i know of)

reddithalation , (edited )

single gpu vm passthrough. took a few days for troubleshooting, and i didnt even want to get it to be undetectable by game anticheat, i hear that needs building your own kernel for some advanced detection methods.

reddithalation ,

not the original commenter, but they used some buoyancy things to lift a section of the titanic, obviously thats very different, but i think they are like large bags that can be filled with air to lift incredible weight underwater.

reddithalation ,

yeah, i dont know enough about marine salvage to comment anything worthwhile, but it certainly will be interesting to see what they do, and how fast.

reddithalation ,

idk, I've had some great experiences with competitive gaming, I don't think generalizing it all as a cancer is reasonable.

reddithalation ,

they aren't good ideas but we dont seem to be doing much about our emissions, so research into potential methods to delay the problem doesn't seem terrible. (as long as its not exploited to continue doing nothing)

reddithalation ,

the sls has been in development for 13 years, and 24 billion dollars spent, and it has managed one uncrewed launch, and the cost per launch is expected to be 2 billion. i do not like elon musk, but spacex (and other launch startups) are clearly more innovative and get things done faster and cheaper.

reddithalation , (edited )

well, that was pretty good. i wonder why the booster reentry was oscilating so much, and the ship reentry didnt seem very controlled either. incredible video from the ship during reentry though.

reddithalation ,

ok but how does the bluray library stay safe? its still a similar problem. for piracy sites, a lot of them seem to deal with it by just having it be hosted in a country that doesnt care enough to shut them down.

How can I upload books (to libgen, et al) without a trace back to me?

I know Calibre can remove DRM, but it seems that Calibre does not remove things like watermarks, references to the buyer by name, etc. Now maybe I can try to find those manually, but that is an error prone process. Plus, what if they embed a unique digital signature that ties back to me? I understand that this is a very uncommon...

reddithalation ,

I converted a pdf book scan to epub with tessaract ocr and calibre, it didn't need any programming, but the end result did have a typo every few paragraphs. Most were very similar to each other though, so a few hours cleaning it up would've made it pretty readable.

reddithalation ,

cracked servers (that dont need a microsoft account and dont use their authentication) are quite common, in fact you dont need "patched" server software to make one, it is literally a setting in the default microsoft provided server!

you would want some sort of in game authentication through a plugin (spigot, bukkit, etc) to prevent people from claiming to be your username and the server blindly trusting them and getting your stuff stolen though.

reddithalation ,

2 months seems like a reasonable timeline for a large infrastructure project halfway across the earth from the us. ofc its a horrible situation and they could save a lot more lives if they could just truck aid in.

reddithalation ,

yeah but itd still be pretty cool to have mammoths, just without acting like its gonna help the enviroment

reddithalation ,

some people use the logic gates in the game to create basic computers to automate expansion
