I think Labour were left wing before, but they were compromised by right-wingers and now they are about as right wing as our right wing mainstream party, the conservatives.
Pro-Israel, arresting activists, cutting welfare and disability benefits. I like to call them Forced Labour.


Google actually already has a system to automatically detect and filter incoming nude pictures. It allows apps to blur then and you can then opt to view them. It’s a separate application and uses locally running machine learning.
I can’t remember the name of it and if it’s just on Pixels, nor what applications it works with. Might just be for their own messaging apps or it might be more deeply integrated. If anyone is curious I’ll try to look it up after work.
The point is they already have something similar to this they could maybe leverage.


24 MHz Arm Cortex M0+ processor. The chip also carried 24KB of flash storage and 3KB of static RAM.
… a 10y old phone can barely load Google, and this is about 100x slower.
Wild that you can serve anything with that hardware. Granted, static websites are basically just sending files over the wire.


I’ve just discovered another use for grain synthesis:
Adding grain using to DVD movies with badly compressed grain.
I just bought Breakfast at Tiffany’s on DVD and despite it being a 60s movie that should have had clean grain, it has very little and what is there looks bad because of mediocre DVD compression. You end up with some minor but distracting compression artifacts and static grain. By adding a little grain synthesis, you end up with an appearance that strangely seems more authentic and hides compression artifacts.
Here are the results. I’ve added clips wit 0-36 strength grain synthesis strength, and I personally think 24 looks pretty good.



That’s reasonable. I know a lot of people don’t like it. In my case it’s as much about loosing quality when trying to denoise as it is a case of preserving the visual style.


For whatever reason my local library only stocks books. I tried donating some movies and they said they don’t take them. Weird.


I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question. Would you like to elaborate?
Speaking of, I spotted this on the Steam Store today.



Open AI has done this too. It’s literally just a marketing play. “We made something so scary and amazing. Pay attention to us”.
In reality it’s probably a nothing burger.
If you actually put forward a law to ban all AI development now they’d lobby against it.


To save you all some time, this is the poll.

Oblivion-ass conversation


You can filter by audio and subtitle languages. Most of my movies have more than one language track and it identities them correctly.


The obvious answer to the problem no one seems to have mentioned yet:
Pay the drivers by the hour, not by the amount of orders.
Performance-based pay has never worked, and always incentivises bad behaviour. They wouldn’t try to batch so many orders for a single trip if it wasn’t the only way they could make passable money.


Bourgeoisie (perks of being French I guess)


If you need time away from these topics for mental health, then this is can be a good idea. I wish you all the best.
If you have other, quality news sources that’s fine too.
If it’s just because it’s “annoying” and you do not want to engage, then bear in mind that you are simply burying your head in the sand. Politics are not simply words, and will affect you and your loved one’s lives and rights.
The leopards come for everyone’s faces eventually.


I couldn’t agree more.
