SCheeseman posted:The distribution of the crystals aren't changed by the development process and the inherently high resolution of film makes pixel-level (or crystal I guess) differences less likely to matter in practice anyway. The colours can be vastly different. The colour of a suspects clothing are often used as evidence. In reality though, this is rarely likely to happen. AI having widely different results from two tries on 'enhancing' an image though? Well you can try it yourself in lightroom. Fun, but I wouldn't want it used against me in court. How AI generates new data and how compression algorithms work IS different, not matter how much you insist otherwise because of how they work at the base level, but regardless its the reliability that is the crux of the problem, not the technology used. Maybe if the Gen-AI technology becomes more 'reproducible' and actually in line with the repeatability of a compression algorithm matrix's then it could be considered.

Australian judges often dismiss video evidence out of hand. There was a case a few years ago where a judge doing so was met with community backlash as to the general public, a video is rock solid evidence but for the judge, not worth bringing the TV into the courtroom to look at.

it seems like even modern sec. footage is still a coin flip rather its good or not. like you would think the floor is 720p , 60 fps, and color and basically forever storage, but its not. like sure we proved bigfoot , ufos , and rods probably arent real, but lol at this tech store using a knockoff gameboy cam as its sec. cam.

Tiny Timbs posted:Big Neil Degrasse Tyson Twitter vibes when people try to dig on CSI over silly tech stuff It matters, because this kind of poo poo contributes to the perception among viewers that forensics are much more reliable than they actually are. Even if they realize that the cops can't actually turn a security camera shot into a full 3D hologram, there's a big difference between "the cop show is exaggerating image enhancement a bit for dramatic effect" and "the very idea of image enhancement, a widespread trope among forensics dramas of all kinds, is complete bullshit".

it's certainly good and not bad that the absolute most expensive property in NYC per square ft is the buildings physically closest to the NYSE because high-frequency trading algorithms need the shortest latency possible to outperform every other HFTA so they're butting up against the limits of c and shorter fiber optic cables hold strategic value. very normal use of the world's resources

I am blessed. I work for a founding family-owned Big Pharma. We have the biggest R&D spend in the industry, and we're four years into a 10-year plan. Our pressure on leadership over the stock price comes from employees whose equity grants could maybe be worth more. They're fools. I want as many shares as possible put in my account before the price rebounds. mllaneza fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Apr 12, 2024 |

One interesting element of Uber's market dominance is they pay much better than Lyft, which means there are more Uber drivers, which means shorter wait times, which means more people use Uber*. *I've only looked at NYC and DC data.

We just re-launched DuckAssist, which is our attempt at a responsible LLM question-answering service: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+are+fursuits+made&t=newext&atb=v301-1&ia=web I know y'all are generally cold on LLMs but I'm curious to get feedback on your experience with it. In particular I've been driving forward our validation process - basically making sure we don't show outright lies to users. I'd really appreciate hearing from perspectives that are more critical than our internal testing.
