Personally. I think murder is kind of bad and should be discouraged. That's just me though.

I mean hippies aren't so hot on the "not having sec with children" front either, to be fair. Good luck finding one in the wild these days though.

Always wondered how those would actually beat a robot. You'd think that in the back end it is just looking for a matching click or tracing the location of the object to each other object, there's usually a few basic capchas that you could store for and it would look for the meta tags or patterns unique to each one to form the algorithm. If someone can make an automatic pokemon shiny hunter based on how long the screen darkens with a shiny pokemon vs a normal one some one could easily do the above. If the captcha is too annoying or too numerous I just don't go to the site anymore.

I keep getting captchas where I'm asked to solve a jigsaw puzzle and even when solved it says I failed if I did it too quickly. And jigsaw puzzles seem like exactly the kind of thing a bot would excel at anyway. The people coming up with these have completely lost sight of what the intended purpose ever was and now it's the digital equivalent of people sitting in a meeting trying to come up with a way to make the toilet paper the company produces hurt more when used.

Captchas nowadays monitor your response time and other indirect signs of being a bot, precisely because it's trivial for bots to solve them Anyway, there's nothing in the world worth solving two captchas in a row, much less twenty. If anything tried to force me to do that, I would simply forget about it and embrace nothingness. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 18:47 on May 12, 2024 |

My favorite captcha is the kind where you fail when you picked what was clearly the right answer but you could tell which one might be misunderstood. Any real human would agree that this truck is a bus, you do want to be a real human, don’t you ?

It's just all the squares that everyone else has collectively decided is part of the traffic light. See also why every moped is a "motorcycle" and every combine harvester is a "tractor"

Curious to see if part of it is fake like the writing one. That one that helped digitize books for a while. One word was the word it already knew, the other word was the one that was the word it wanted to know. This seems to be a way to group source tags and other identifying things for whatever purpose they decide to use.

One thing I've noticed is that these captchas are clearly being fed into machine learning for self driving cars. But all the pictures of things like motorcycles and bikes are usually from the side. I almost never see pictures of them from the back or the front which is the perspective a self driving car would usually see them from.

But I am curious how well their models could pick out a bicycle viewed from the back if most of the training data with bikes shows them from the side.

2-3 captchas might be confusion about your response. 20 is clearly them making you do stuff that gets them paid.

Nothing shows you're human more than doing something half assed. For content: 1. Disney now does ads for their services unless you agree to pay even more. It's risen two times this year. 2. Frozen meat tastes even more spongier now. It might just be that I very seldomly grab frozen meat these days, but the chicken strips I got felt like a soggy Crunchie bar. 3. KFC cuts the rib pieces in half now. So a bucket really is about a 1/3 of what it really is. 4. The Ontario government is so blatantly corrupt a city literally hired a consulting firm with a former staffer of the government to try to get water treatment project passes. They are also planning to pave the section of greenery that was supposed to be protected green space. 5. Almost all plazas look the same. Faded yellow with castle like parapets. Almost every plaza is empty except for the odd cannabis shop or phone repair or peripheral store

Also the other thing about captchas is they read your browsing history to determine how humanlike it is so like e.g. robots don't watch porn so if you got pornhub in yr history it will let you pass captchas easier

spotify is making their shuffle even shittier for no good reason. you used to just toggle shuffle on or off. now there's a 3rd option in the middle thats called smart shuffle or something. this option takes like half a second to load everytime you go to toggle it for some reason so it creates a lag if youre trying to quickly cycle the playlist mode. if that isnt annoying enough, i often forget that it exists so ill have it on by accident and keep wondering why random dogshit tracks are being injected into my playlists. spotify fire all of your product managers and just make a music player for gently caress sakes.

Houle posted:For content: Frozen pre-prepared meat, especially chicken, is highly processed. As a baseline, it's usually pumped full of water, so it weighs more, and they can sell less actual chicken at a given weight. Most chicken-strip products as well are ground chicken, which they can add fillers to as well, and so they won't have the same bite as a whole piece of chicken. They're also par or fully cooked at the factory, so you're just reheating a cooked product anyway, which is never going to taste as good as fresh, or even fresh-frozen.

The big bags of Kingsford charcoal got rid of their super nifty string zip top opener. Now they're glued together and it takes an act of God to even start opening one. They kept the tear away bit of butcher paper that used to be the string zip opener except now it just tears away like a limp loving fart. I had to bust out the kitchen shears I use to spatchcock chicken to get the drat bag open what the gently caress it's such a significantly worse design.

Facebook Messenger pushed out an update a week or so ago that made all the panels into really ugly roundrects with huge padding, but they've just done another one that changes the colour of the scrollbar (!?) to whatever the conversation "theme" is. It looks utterly hideous.

Back when they were just words, it was to help digitize books. If you've recently seen ones with weird esoteric art (such as the one about orbits above) this is to help AI art generation.

So this isn't actually new but I have a Xiaomi Mi Band which is a cheap fitness tracker band thing. I use it for two things: check my heart rate and set timers at the gym. A few years ago I synced it to my phone but found it useless so I didn't use that anymore. When I actually look at the thing, it has a clock on it, which is currently displaying the wrong time so I wanted to change it. Turns out, there's no way to change the clock from the band itself. You have to sync it up to a phone. To sync it up to a phone I had to download the app, then register, insert an activation code, answer a couple of captchas and voilà! Doesn't work. I can't get the drat thing to sync, I guess because it was previously synced to a different phone. I try googling to see how I can desync it, but Google is poo poo and I can't find anything. Eventually I give in and watch the YouTube video it suggests. I spent 1 minute and 12 seconds being asked to like and subscribe, and then get told that if it doesn't sync you should restart the band. Over a minute to be told to reset the loving thing. Doesn't work, obviously, and it seems increasingly possible that I might have to factory reset the thing for that. At this point I've spent 15 minutes attempting to change the time on my watch. I take a deep breath and resign to the fact that it is now 11:15 am on a Tuesday despite all facts to the contrary.
