I knew I wasn't like others when they played the game "memory" where you flipped over matching cards. I've never been able to do that. People who can visualize can remember the card placements even flipped over. I'm lost after 2.
The proper way to do this is have signed certs in photo equipment that can sign the meta data with the image to prevent people from claiming something is misinformation. At this point it should be assumed all images are manipulated or AI generated.
I voted Yes, but considering the cluster this already has been, I wouldn't put it past Open AI to crash and burn again due to some contract breach over all the firing and hiring going on. So, this might still be a valid poll with an unknown outcome at some point soon when the lawyers get involved.
I'm pretty sure I'm afflicted with this, as well. The way I try to describe my aphantasia is that I cannot play the game "Memory" where a bunch of cards are placed face down and you're supposed to pick the matching cards. I can't do it. I do not have a way to memorize the pattern. I've found that my "coping mechanism" is an inner monolog of my own that basically replaces the "inner eye." Obviously this is strictly a self diagnosis but I think it fits. I'd be interested to see if this test proved in some way that I had it.
This short film from 10 years ago really explained what happened there.
Wasn't this what Kirk and Picard were riding in Generations? Can we get Woopi Goldberg to chime in on this?
Wouldn't this outlaw creating gold/gems/rupees/doughnuts for games too? World of Warcraft would be a different place if you had to use real money to purchase items... but that would also mean that loot would consist of real money.
Well... it's a label describing a particular mode of thought and argumentation. If you aren't one of the ones who thinks and debates in the way Mashiki is describing, then he wasn't talking about you.
I predicted this when the first Instance of Cryptolocker came out. Unfortunately a new form of anti-virus will be post mortem decryption. I really don't want people to pay norton/mcafee for these kind of services (But it beats paying the bad guys)
fix those vulnerabilities before someone installs a toolbar you don't want... oh wait. nevermind.
>> Different mixes and levels for different apps
Weird... I wanted that feature, and that's exactly why I was installing PulseAudio for a year before Ubuntu picked it up as a standard. PulseAudio makes per-app mixing just work, whereas before Pulse came around I had never seen any OS do that since the BeOS.
Not the only one. Hell, I was setting up pulseaudio by hand for a year or so before it became the standard on Ubuntu, just because it made things work _so_ much better.
However, the reports of it borking things are consistent enough to convince me we might be in a minority.
> I live in Raleigh, NC, and for those who have a jaundiced perspective of the south I would like to say that this region is booming in terms of technology-centric business
You know, maybe it's because I've always lived to the south of you (Atlanta), but I never really applied the negative southern stereotype to North Carolina, not until you amended your constitution just a couple weeks ago.
It will be interesting to see how that decision affects the state in the medium term... stereotypes and reputation like that can have a lot of impact on whether companies choose to set up shop there.
This isn't flamebait. Parent is referring, sarcastically, to the common analog of the "blame the victim" argument the grandparent is making.
> Put the same equipment in a manned aircraft and it's a snoozer.
Interesting point. I guess on some level, we're hoping that with a manned aircraft, an egregiously and obviously illegal order to target U.S. citizens might be disobeyed or even made public.
Some people claim that the UNIX learning curve is steep, but at least you only have to climb it once.
