Hyperlynx posted:It's making the first few characters of each word bold. That is not hard to do. It's, like, "high school programming class" degree of difficulty, if you just want to do websites. The impression I got was that it was more complicated than that, but since they didn't bother publishing source code or even a description of the algorithm I ended up pulling the patent instead. And it looks like the answer is "it's more complicated than that in principle, but the settings they've released it with are functionally equivalent to 'make the first half of each word bold'". It looks like the actual algorithm, as best I can follow the patent, is: - set a saccade distance between 0 and infinity. This is what density of words to modify (e.g. SD=0 modifies every word, SD=1 modifies every second word, etc). - set a fixation size between 0.0 and 1.0. This is what proportion of each word is bolded. - set a maximum frequency and minimum size. This can be used to exclude very short words (e.g. "a", "in") and/or very common words (e.g. "the") from processing. Then: - compute word frequencies over the entire text - split the text into sentences and each sentence into words - foreach sentence, process the first word, then skip SD words, then process the next word, skip another SD words, etc - do not count or process words that are smaller than minsize or occur more often than maxfreq - to "process" a word, bold the first (length of word)*(fixation size) characters of it The splitting on sentences before words allows you to do things like setting SD=infinity to process only the first word of each sentence. However, the settings they've shipped it with are: - saccade distance 0 (process every word) - fixation size 0.5 rounded down (bold the first half of the word) - maximum frequency 1.0 (do not skip frequent words) - minimum size 0 (do not skip short words) There's also a bunch of stuff in the patent about proper handling of compound words, handling of numbers, and other edge cases which all appear to be absent from the tool as released. Also, even with all of those complications, it's still not at all difficult to implement (at least in English, where both word and sentence boundaries are well marked). Given that they filed the patent in early 2017 and were talking about it online in 2020 if not earlier, there's no reason why it would have taken them four years to release this, so it really does look like they came up with the algorithm ca. 2016 and spent the years since trying to figure out how best to monetize it. Someone on twitter suggested an improvement of bolding the first ceil(log2(word_len)) characters instead, which seems like it might work better with long words, too.

He even got the balls, nice.  CzechHunter would be proud.Candace Owens claims to have pics of the Texas shooter, confirming that he was trans. She also claims that they're NOT the photos (of a completely different person) that have already been debunked. People keep saying "Okay, so share 'em then". Most of this is content for the IoSM thread, but this response gave me a chuckle. https://twitter.com/Holly_Blair7/status/1529574354509496324 https://twitter.com/Holly_Blair7/status/1525220510178631681?cxt=HHwWgoCzlaP-1aoqAAAA Context: That's a photo of Blaire White, who is both trans and a chud.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:Sonic 2006 is the one in which Sonic seduces an anime woman, IIRC The weirdest part of this isn't the species difference. It's the fact that she's in a completely different art style. They do not even look like they are from the same game. Sonic's eyeball is as big as her face.

Facebook Aunt posted:How did he have time to finish a plumbing apprenticeship and medical school at that age? Have you got any proof he's actually credited and good at either of these, though? I don't think I've ever seen him do any plumbing, and given his approach to medicine seems to result in a lot of overdoses I'm not so sure he finished medical school either.
