Genuine question: why reads it "1-100" as 1 .. -100? Google is (was) good at that even when I think it was taught by pure statistics. I never saw people would mean by that, only by bots. Does bots have too much influence?

It just needs another service for making tests... But that probably will has the same base of the AI, so yuck. For making *good* test by yourself, I think you still need to know that code *very* well.

don't forget the weekly security fix on the right side ;)
azatom··on Midjourney Showcase
I have no idea how to put it in words and I am far from bashing it, I like it, admire it.. but.. it seems vaguely divergent styles, stil what it bugs me after seeing lots of these images, it seems "boring" (again i don't know how to phrase it).. if i see an image in the wild i can guess it is generated by midjourney.
azatom··on The Apple Vision Pro, Is a Display, Not an AR Device
It's price come from the missing content/services. As always, Apple let others build ideas, and a few years from now, it will be omly $350. Monthly.
azatom··on WSL2 on Zen4 Ryzen: similar performance to running bare metal Linux
How do those DBs compare? I mean how am I can read these graphs? Like is mariadb slower on wsl or others have some kind bottleneck slowing them on all cases to near equal performance?

azatom··on I like technology that is less complex
I think you like your reasoning kept oversimplified too.

I like the exact way the simple things as OP, eg: for media player I use android total commander:)

But the reasonong is just wrong. The problem with the phone is that it's extremely hard to find quality sw.

Exactly in a way as finding good, dedicated hw. The problem is the same: there is no review site niether of them.

PS: of course there are lots of details, like when hw flaws come to surface and users could write that to others, there is a new hw model. And lots and lots of them, no chance thet a testing company could test enough.

azatom··on World's largest banknote printer says printing money isn't profitable anymore
Purely the existence of an alternative is a must, without it people would be not so happy with the e-money, eg. transatcion fees would became enermous..
azatom··on Ask HN: Human Independent Sources for Timestamp?
No, I meant by a timestamp a thing, that assures other people, that another thing certainly does not happened after a specific time. There are authorities, whose in a simplified way: - I take crypto-hash of a massage, send to a timestamp authority - That authority digitally sign it with adding the current time.

So other people can check with the authority's public key, that is valid, so what I hashed, I cannot created after that time.

edit: so there is a problem with sunspots, it assures that it happened not before

azatom··on How can I prevent my site from being a free dataset for LLMs?
Captcha does not mean a simple image recogniton. It is for recognizing a bot using other user interactions. Bot can create login easier than that.

Except if you are forcing people for giving a phone number for viewing a blog post , and want that china thing where if you not smile walking through a gate, your credits go down.

Edit: let be enough a third party service (namely a capcha, which uses my general "login") which assures a site that I am not a bot.

captcha is a way too
azatom··on ZSTD 1.5.5 is released with a corruption fix found at Google
oh, I remembered, it was not all zstd fault. Somehow because zstad read not only the allocated space but the whole fole, the zeros too, windows tried to allocate the whole file in memory, which was not enough, and zstd did not give (outofmemory) eror message. (It was not ntfs compressed, only sparse!) Later (maybe windowsupdate happend) tried to reproduce, but worked with larger file with memory.

I don't know zstd how could handle the outofmemory, but the sparse reading might not be perfect.

azatom··on ZSTD 1.5.5 is released with a corruption fix found at Google
I don't know if it's related, but one time I had corruption too. I was playing with large sparse (ntfs) files and used zstd for temporarily store those. It was probably low compression settings and I couldn't reproduce, so I'd thought I messed up something.

azatom··on An Introduction to Computer Networks (2020)
I'd not care about how many "introduction" are there, if I'd find one uptodate or/and how-to-do-it-really-well version.
azatom··on Lawsuit Against the Internet Archive
I will scrub you as a marketing bot with my filter.

If they win the problem is not with them, but the legal system.

And you had just wrote their name in this post, giving them free marketing.

azatom··on Google discontinues Google Glass for enterprise
I don't understand: it is not a fashion thing but a work equipment. Battery life: why isn't there an option for a battery pack on your belt and a wire under the cloth? If it is uncomfortable, than with a (different hardware design) that battery pack could carry most of the hardware too.

This let me think that google never intended this as a real product, just for the media attention.

azatom··on Show HN: Modern Font Stacks – New system font stack CSS for modern OSs
Why is the smallest font size is the largest of what I actually would like to test? The range 0.7-1.5em is what needs tests, above that all looks good.
azatom··on Ask HN: Why did they break Windows 11?
Old people use old software, new software are for kids.

In that way the kids never knew it could be better, and when it became better, they can sell it once more or higher price in a separate service.

azatom··on Why am I not terrified of AI?
I'd be happy with that, but as I implied I think of it as a tool of big corps. And those are stil got too much influence by stupid people.
azatom··on Samsung “space zoom” moon shots are fake, and here is the proof
"Do you believe for your own eyes, or what I say!?"

The future is BigCorp's AI will censure your photo when you try to take picture like on tiananmen square massacre.

I want a photo, not even sharpend.

azatom··on Why am I not terrified of AI?
I'm not terrified of guns. Guns don't kill people.

I'm not terrified of numbers. Numbers don't lie.

I'm not terrified of AI. AI don't ... enslave humans?

azatom··on Google Search Is Dying (2022)
Dying is a harsh word, give them the respect for the good years: they killing it deliberatively.

They fed up with people using it without login, and only the websites paying. They just want monthly payment from user too.

azatom··on ChatGPT generated a puzzle game
It depends how good your layer is.

If the internet is America the continent, where are lots of humans work, you can call the colonization as a genocide to native americans, or stealing the land with honor.
