this was a human DNA test kit. the animal ones are even less regulated.

I wonder if there are some SNPs that are common between humans and dogs and the company just said "gently caress it, give a report with what we got". Though they don't seem to give the raw data results for download, so no way to check how broken the sequencing became. They might just fabricate everything for all we know.

I do wonder if this was helped by the fact that Apple is the company that makes iPods, you can see it's already leaning towards iPod in the first picture with 0.4%. Probably wouldn't work at all if you wrote Zune on a piece of paper and stuck it to the apple.

AI-generated shills are out in force against antiwork. Look at the earrings.

I myself can't shake the feeling that /r/antiwork is fishy, but I can't ignore my own eyes, and if it is ultimately controlled oppo, I don't understand their end-game.

while it’s plausible that it’s AI generated, that noise anslysis means gently caress all - it was originally supposed to be used to see where a photo had been edited, assuming that the source was a jpeg and the final edit was also a jpeg of the same resolution, but it’s been used by idiots going «this is shopped, i can tell from the pixels»

also AI generated images go straight from raw output to jpeg so there isn’t anything to analyse with that method anyway

Assumptions a plane autopilot can do that no self driving car can:

- assume that the runway will be clear of any obstructions on both takeoff and landing
- assume that the air corridor/"road" between takeoff and landing will be clear of any obstructions
- assume that the air corridor/"road" will always be there and have not been taken away by, like, a landslide
- assume that if anything out of the ordinary happens, at least one competent pilot will be ready to handle it
- assume that all other pilots in the sky are either automatic or somewhat competent
- assume that any planes on collision course will be handled by a completely different system

I mean, the autopilot assumes someone else has done the job, and does not have cameras and code to specifically deal with obstacles on runways. A self driving car can never assume those things and that makes it magnitudes harder to do.

uh do cryptocurrencies actually use encryption? I thought they were just cryptography-themed because they use hashes but in a way that isn't cryptographically useful

they all use public key signing, how else would someone prove they are allowed to move coins when the blockchain is public?

edit: more specifically they all use elliptic curves for signing transactions and having the private key to an address means you own the coins on that address

this is completely unrelated to mining which is just doing hashing over over again until a specific number of bits at the start of the hash is zero

In any case, any virtual world absolutely needs a way to instablock any user, and it’s insane if Facebook haven’t implemented that yet

It definitely happened in SL too (and would be something more close to «real» virtual rape since animation scripts can take control of your avatar and use it in actual animated sex, instead of Facebook’s Crossworlds where it was at most creative use of nonsexual gestures)

The lack of legs is also because they can't know the state of the user's legs, and if they just guess it might lead to VR dysmorphia.

Or it could be part of a sinister agenda to prepare us for the de-limbification of the masses. That is the only thing that can explain this completely unrelated Comedy Central series:

You might want to double check your source, because there is no such breed as golden labs. There are golden retrievers and labrador retrievers, but they aren't the same breed. Similar temperament and both very popular breeds, so it could be either one.

in a unrelated thing I just realized that the USA has greencard quotas for every country but for some reason the EU counts as its constituent countries, not as one country, and the already obvious racist logic is sorta too out in the open

the US limits some green cards/visas to be something like

only 7% issued can be to any single country

So even though maybe 20% of people applying are Indian, they can only get 7%. But if you're from Lithuania you basically do not need to worry about this quota

It's a policy that uses a logic, not a sound logic mind you, that coincidentally means that europeans can migrate to the US in much greater number because europe's history has led its territories to retain semi-nationhood

I still don't see the racism in this though. If you replaced Lithuania with Eritrea in the above, wouldn't the situation be exactly the same? Also wtf is "semi-nationhood"? European countries are nations. There is no semi about them?
