@sergi@mogwai_poet I ate at an all you can eat hot pot place in Malaysia that had whole shrimp. It was darkly amusing to see the huge pile of heads left after the meal
@demofox@aras Even before getting temporal: pre-sharpening before quantization, and using spatial error diffusion. And temporally, there is that interesting question of making it blue in time with fixed position, or blue in time with reprojected position (which is seriously hard, but would be fun to try on a GPU). Aras, it's inspirational to see blue 1-bit/pixel on that device, had been hoping others would have done that instead of fixed dither patterns :)
@georgetakei if your phone is off (i.e. on a plane), or you're out of service area (e.g. cave tour at Mt Shasta), there will be no missed call notification.
"I've done live fact-checking during breaking news events for years. But the sheer volume of viral misinformation today regarding Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's helicopter crash posted by fake osint accounts and blue tick grifters for engagement (on Twitter/X) has been something to behold," says Shayan Sardarizadeh, a journalist at BBC Verify.
Folks, I'd like to boost my Mastodon feed. What are some of your favorite active accounts? Not just Russia or world affairs related. Anything! I'm a sucker for consumer tech, but I'll consider all suggestions.
@arstechnica I hope the test subjects are being paid extremely well. I get the feeling they're just Musk devotees that are excited enough to be fooled into brain surgery though.

@arstechnica The appropriate solution to this was to either use a different voice in the demo or to not make the "her" tweet. Removing the voice is the silliest path forward.
Eyes rolling in the back of my head seeing RNZ use the editorial phrase “since COVID”, as if we’ve not also had things reported like school closures and bus cancellations haven’t happened in the last week here, due to COVID.
Members of the GOP are no strangers to delusion and lies. The latest example (and definitely not the last) is South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who recently gained attention for shooting her puppy and writing about it. According to Noem, though, this is business as usual for farmers. However, real farmers say otherwise. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/noem-farm-life-puppy-excuse
@georgetakei I grew up on a farm, and still live a rural life. I was raised with guns, dogs, and farm animals. You don't get to hide behind farm culture to mask the fact that you're a sociopath with anger management issues who is incompetent with animals.
