  1. Chinese fishing vessels should be sunk en masse.
  2. Actually yes, exactly this. What he is saying is really disgusting.
  3. Even very small and cheap lidar can see cables just fine.

    I work with 3d scanning lidar every day and I know this as a fact.

    They have no excuse there.

  5. I get this all the time. Especially since GPT5, generating an image starts a massive chain where it confirms what you want, and asks you to say yes, and you say yes, and then it confirms again, and this can go on for 5-6 times. Then if you swear at it, it refuses to continue. It is insane. Fuck you, OpenAI
  6. Just tell the other person "please blur my face out if you publish this online" in 2025, this is easy to do.
  7. honestly i find it confusing. it tells me to make a move, but i don't know if i'm playing black or white. sometimes when i click on a point, it puts the opposite color on a different point.
  8. Holy crap there is a boat load of spurious correlation here.

  9. Please future humans, do not build mirror life.

    Thanks.

    WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK DID I JUST READ

  11. Yeah it's the bpa more than the waste that would bother me.

    Honest question, isn't the bpa free paper just using something else than bpa that is unregulated and potentially even worse?

  12. What on earth did I just read? Is this ai slop that I just read? None of this is correct or true.
  13. What an absolutely perfect encapsulation of the times we live in.
  14. ah, only your opinion is valid?
  15. Yes. I absolutely despise Adobe, and I will not be using this.

    They were double charging me for photoshop for two years. I caught them and it took 60 minutes on the phone to get them to do something about it.

    They have an entire cancellation department. (!)

  16. this seems like an absolutely terrible idea! I thought this was going to be about editing gaussian splats, which is sorely needed. instead, it's about turning a few pixels into a gaussian splat in order to edit them?! My god, talk about using a nuclear bomb to kill a fly!
  17. that sounds awful. we need to start asking ourselves just because we can, do we need to fulfill all of our prurient desires?
  18. You are not a photographer are you.
  19. I tried offering the author of this to publish a huge dataset on it and he seemed oddly uninterested.
  20. Prague here.

    Yes, it is outrageously, obscenely crowded with tourists here.

  21. because the manufacturers are not required to make them last that long. if they were required to, they would alter the chemistry / capacity of the battery instantly and this would be solved.
  22. Considering the coarseness of the borders, I am very surprised this takes up as much space as it does. It seems like the total data size is well under the threshold of utility vs. filesize. If it were double the size, the borders wouldn't be so janky, for example.
  23. A lot of europe in general, and Prague especially, is perfect for this. Well, bikes less so, but walking and public transport, absolutely. Plenty of little kids (from age 7 or 8, I'd guess) walking and taking the tram/bus to school in the morning, without supervision, and without worry. Just this one fact by itself demonstrates what a stable and safe Czech society is (sure it has other problems like any place).
  24. It is all so boring, all this AI talk all the time. Yes, we get it. AI is exciting. But this corporate dick-measuring contests for AI... please, can we move on from this?
  25. I went to a State of the Map conference in Antwerp last year. For me it was fascinating, and not my normal type of crowd. A couple of things stuck out to me though.

    It reminded me of the saying about libertarians: "Libertarians are like house cats. Completely dependent on a system they neither understand nor appreciate and fiercely confident of their own independence."

    I love everything about openstreetmap, but it is completely dependent on the charity of Microsoft who donates the aerial/satellite images, which cost them millions. Without these images, there just would not be any openstreetmap at all. So while I appreciate the fiercely independent attitude of a lot of the OSM community, I also saw a lot of self-deception about how very dependent they are on these very large corporations, without whom they would have no source of data from which to make these maps.

  26. if you paid for the phone and the watch and they belong to you, then yes, of course.
  27. The Romans had roads... So did the Greeks, who also produced the Antykethera mechanism (precision machining)
  28. Hopefully this will be the end of RED's insane patent trolling.

    They patented the idea of making raw video, and have successfully sued both Apple and Nikon as well as gotten settlements from other companies over this stupid patent.
