    License Plate Readers Are Creating a US-Wide Database of More Than Just Cars

  • You could just copy others signed codes, so you would also need some sort of totp system.Then you could still place some camera capturing and streaming plates of parked cars in real time, so you'd either need 2 way communication with the license plates, where the cameraa tell them to show a code for some specific nonce, and which you could then potentially still stream so would also need severe latency checks, or you would have to get way more reliable gps and make that part of the totp.

  • It is neither established nor at all how english works. You can't just always call something by name only, this isn't Japanese.

    I/you/they is established, same as I/you/he or I/you/she. English is designed around pronouns. Even if what you did was more common, it would still cause massive confusion and make the English language not work properly.

    If you wanna be innovative, use I/you/Drag or something, that might still work.Where only 3rd person pronouns are not used.Drag does not understand how languages are used, Drag should really think about practicality.I still think even that is too impractical. Pronouns are used to communicate that the subject or object has not changed, information you have to process out yourself if pronouns are missing.

  • "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely

  • which also references an effort to use the media to quietly disseminate Google’s point of view about unionized tech workplaces.

    Bogas’ order references an effort by Google executives, including corporate counsel Christina Latta, to “find a ‘respected voice to publish an op-ed outlining what a unionized tech workplace would look like,” and urging employees of Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google not to unionize.

    in an internal message Google human resources director Kara Silverstein told Latta that she liked the idea, “but that it should be done so that there ‘would be no fingerprints and not Google specific.’”

    From the article posted by 100_kg_90_de_belin.

    Google seemingly does care about their internal image, so they will only make their actions obvious when they fire you for bogus reasons after wanting to join a union.Quite nasty in that they give you no hints about how extreme their efforts on this are. They monitor internal employee tools like they are cosplaying the NSA, but you wouldn't know before you are fired out of the blue.

  • Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?

    Jump

  • You can compare total better than per user at these scales.Lemmy needs a certain amount of performance to keep up with federation, but once you have all the images and posts and comments you don't need second versions until you scale to a size that mandates multiple machines. Which I would guess is more in the 6+ digit user range, where you start averaging requests per second not minute.

    In some sense, every lemmy user is a user of your instance via federation. You need to pay the performance for all 100k of us whether your instance has 10 or 10k of those. Local users are just a bit extra demanding on your hosting resources.

    I suspect the bias we see here with larger instances paying a bit more (50-ish instead of 10-ish) is more due to reliability and snappyness than actual performance needs too. You tend to get optional smaller-gains pricier perks you might not go for for a smaller instance.

  • Yeah. You want to preserve the AI's abilities. Hence adding the "paste imagination" feature for example. If you simply use that and finish "editing" that is current AI. Then you can quickly redo only sections from imagination until they look good, maybe with a specific prompt or other form of understanding about what needs to be done and changed there.

    We can invert our visual center, so basically we see an image, think about it, then can summon a mental version of that painting back as an image by converting the abstraction of it and change things about the abstraction until the mental image seems good. This abstraction can handle ideas like recognizing, moving, scaling, recoloring objects. It can do all we can imagine because it is literally how we interpret the world. Then we spend hours trying to paint that mental image we created using limited tools. If we could just project something the same way we see, that would probably match image-AI in the initial output but after tens, hundreds of passes you could likely within minutes create something completely impossible by any other means.

  • If you feel like you can think clearly and are questioning if you are dreaming but are unsure, you are not.All methods of lucid dreaming aim at making you think clearly and question if you are in a dream. With that thought, it should be quite obvious to confirm you are in fact in a dream. Dreams are really not that good, sleeping is just kinda like a heavy suspension of disbelief.

  • Yeah. It is not like you can perfectly recreate them, but as long as you don't see a problem with whatever your brain fabricates it's not gonna do anything.

    What I used to do was try to breath through my nose. That is a different mechanism, where probably for safety your body doesn't "disconnect" your breathing. If you hold your nose shut, you will still be able to breathe in a dream.It is something you can easily make a habit, as just quickly pinching your nose doesn't look weird, and then you will naturally do it in your sleep too and become lucid.

    All you really need is a moment of doubt, and if you have experienced a few dreams you will always be able to tell if you are dreaming or awake at a thought, at least in my experience.

    I have stopped lucid dreaming a while ago, but I think I am still always aware when I sleep based just off of how I sleep. Ever since then it feels more like I am just going along with my dreams most of the time, and occasionally I just decide a nightmare sucks too bad and change it or wake myself up.

  • You know, thinking about it, I doubt this is a coincidence.

    The finger-counting is familiar to me as a technique for lucid dreaming. If you look at your hands in a dream, your brain will kinda fuck it up, so if you train yourself to pay attention to that you realize you are dreaming and become lucid.

    My guess is that the origin of fae is something like sleep paralysis deamons or hallucinations, and people realized they could detect those from the same flaws of our own imagination.

    Now for AI, it isn't really drawing. What we are using in image-AI is still much more like projecting up a mental image, dreaming. We can't get it right all at once either, even our human brain is not good enough at it, it is reasonable image-AI makes the same kind of mistakes.

    The next step would logically be to emulate the drawing process. You need to imagine up an image, then observe it at large, check for inconsistencies using reasoning and visual intuition.Hone in on any problems, stuff that doesn't look right or doesn't make sense. Lines not straight.Then start reimagining those sections, applying learned techniques and strategies, painter stuff (I am not an artist).Loosely I imagine the ai operating a digital drawing program with a lot of extra unusual tools like paste imagination or telepathic select, or morph from mind.

    The main thing differentiating dreaming from painting is that for painting you can "write stuff down" and don't have to keep it all in your head all the time. This allows you to iterate and focus in without loosing all the detail everywhere else.
