Just for context, she’s actually from a video game the UK government funded about political idealogy - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amelia-pathways

It seems like it’s just become a bit of a meme/rallying point for some people in the UK.

She’s actually from a video game the UK government made (pretty sure it was made by the government). In it your not supposed to agree with Amelias political views, but obviously that’s not really a good way to convince people.

Flying 200 drones at the same time is easy, having them do anything useful/effective is hard. Seems more like bluster than anything effective at this point in time, given AI systems aren’t really there yet for precise targeting.

I mean, trying to start WWIII is probably a bigger deal than anything we could find in the Epstein files. I’m not sure commiting even worse acts counts as a distraction.

That was an interesting read, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, if I’m making something “masked/obscured” I should export it so that it’s in a raw format. That way there is no Metadata or information that could be leaked by accident.

Think of the Trump Epstein files, in those they kept them as pdfs so you could just unhighlight the redacted sections. If they had export it as a jpeg/png you wouldn’t be able to extract any information.

There are ways to remove the content from a pdf, but as we’ve seen, that leaves rooms for errors.

If the image/video just has black pixels on the content, then there would be no information to extract and any attempt would just be filling things in.

When you talk about layers, you’re assuming that the creator left information behind in the Metadata, which wouldn’t require AI to extract.

If you read the articles on this it sounds more like the US told Nigeria it was going to bomb people and to just deal with it. Even Nigerias response to the bombing does not strongly indicate they requested the US to act.

Edit: Fixed spelling.

I think it may even be better on the phone.

I wasn’t saying it couldn’t be done, I was saying drones as vehicles doesn’t seem viable (economically or for safety reasons).

Also, when you put in bigger batteries you increase the weight, thus increasing the amount of power you need to fly the drone. If these ventures say their drones get 20-30 minutes of flight I would assume that’s got to be around the current sweet spot.

You’re idea for making it more bike-like might be able to help with flight time (if drag doesn’t become a larger problem), but I don’t think commercially anyone is going to want to fly unprotected from wind and the elements.

Yeah, that’s what’s shown in the video, basically a large six propeller drone. The big issues seem to be safety, flight time (battery lasts 20-30 minutes), and air space regulation.

Personally, I don’t think drones are there yet and may never be. The range is probably always going to be limited due to energy density and at that point mass transit (like trains) will always be the better/safer option. Even if you can solve the energy issue I think you still run into safety issues including high wind scenarios.

I’m not even sure that comment really rises to the level of a counter arguement.

People have been around a lot longer than atomic bombs.

The fact that there continue to be humans.

I mean, our police do this, it’s just built into their vehicles. Additionally, you apparently haven’t heard of ICE using facial recognition to assault people.

I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

The biggest issue for me with the Xperia Play was that the lack of thumbs ticks kept it stuck as an emulator for retro consoles (it could play ps1 and N64 games, but inputs held it back). This will fall into the same spot, where you can only really play games that don’t require a thumbs tick. So if it’s your daily driver, you end up with a device that’s making sacrifices as a phone and gaming device.

I still liked my Xperia Play, but I don’t think I would have recommended it to people.

I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go

I think there point is that Linux support hasn’t really increased Linux native games. It’s possible it’s even hurt it as they can just develop for one platform - windows.

To add another layer, I actually run it as a container - Steam Headless

Theyve been rolling out intellisense for the terminal in Vscode, it’s completely breaking tab complete for me.
