I think the problem to solve here is repetitive stress injury caused by typing

Maybe. That sounds like the story he told me. But now I'm wondering if I'm misremembering the friend part. Maybe he read the story when he was posted in 1997 and told me about it.

My brother had a friend who tried to register fuck.com in the early days of the Internet, around 1994, and the registrar was confused and wanted to know why he wanted to register it. This was when the Internet was mostly universities and a .com cost $100 to register.

I click on the link on Android Firefox and nothing happens.

Can you elaborate on the process? Do you just provide it with the ROMs and it is able to pull apart the relevant sprites and code pieces, and recombine into a new ROM?

I'm not trying to dismiss the gravity of the abuse these camera systems facilitate.

My comment was meant to convey that the headline on this post was missing the context of the locality in which the searches were happening.

The story is really about one dispatcher using the system improperly in one police department.

The truncated headline here implies that one person was responsible for 95% of all Flock camera searches.

> Flock camera searches fall 95% in Highland Heights after dispatcher's misconduct caught

I hadn't considered that, but I don't think so. I'm corresponding with someone from American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

I currently have a case open with Honda corporate customer support, and I have this suspicion that the email responses I receive are being generated with an LLM directed by a human. Either that, or I'm corresponding with a human who has poor written communication skills. The text grammatically correct, but overly verbose and repetitive. It reminds me of LLM text, but from a model that is several generations behind today's models.

Maybe it's like when you can just tell a picture is AI. You recognize the words you are reading, but to your brain, the way the words are put together feel wrong.

Incidentally, I was reading Harry Potter to my kids last night. While waiting for everyone to arrive, I started reading the previous chapter to those who were present. But I read the sentences backwards while using a vocal inflection of regular narration. My 6-year-old recognized that something was wrong and asked me to "stop reading funny". My 11-year-old recognized that I was reading backwards. The same 6-year-old thinks every silly photo that I show him is AI, while my older children can actually spot the AI.

You must be in Philly. Every time I visit IKEA, I'd have a meal in the cafe and sit by the window to look at it.

Thank you!

Is there a way to see the old versions of this page? I really liked the one they did for Encanto. The frame by frame sequence in that one was particularly fun.

That reminds me of a time time. I was visiting a children's museum and they had a exhibit piece where you could use a physical flywheel spinner controller to scrub back and forth in a video. I don't know if that's the standard physical control for video production scrubbing, but it was really fun to use.

I remember back when I was heavily into making Doom 2 maps, I had a sort of Tetris effect where I started seeing real world building interiors as the sectors and textures that I could use to recreate the building in Doom.

I tried Quake map making, but the 3D tools were too complex for young me to figure out, also my PC was too slow to use them.

Before posting, I always do a ctrl+F, and I was glad to see my search for "not to play" found a hit.

I find a game of Monopoly so boring and it takes too long to play.

And also I was thinking of WarGames.

Does Nintendo et al have teams dedicated to jailbreaking their own consoles first before a jailbreak is found in the wild ?

Do they use AI to review their code for exploits?

Your CG (AI?) trailer seems to be an homage to the propaganda reels in the Starship Troopers film. I believe StarCraft was inspired by the Starship Troopers book.

I don't recall if the original StarCraft CG trailers had nods to the film.

Also, I remember ordering a demo CD for 3D Studio Max and it came with videos of a few StarCraft trailers, presumably made with 3D Studio Max.

I thought the same thing. My back yard is full of huge rocks. Nothing quite that large, maybe 1/3 of that size. A few doors down there is a boulder twice as big as the O'Hare one.

I'm speaking in volume. I'm not sure of the mass of these boulders.

Please tell me someone actually submitted this as part of their dissertation.

I'm trying to imagine the origin story for this science, and I feel like the most fun one is that somebody wanted to make Doritos flavored chicken and accidentally discovered that the marinade turned the chicken breast transparent.

Blue jays are so aggressive towards the other birds that come to feed at my kitchen window. We get cardinals, titmouse, chickadee, robins, and others. The blue jays are triple their size and don't care for the competition.

What happens if you place something on the top of one of these things? I'm imagining a second robot that sits atop and sprays silly sting at pedestrians it detects. Or one with an air horn that goes of randomly. or one that attaches to the side at the bottom and uses a series of spray chalk guns to dot matrix messages into the sidewalk. :p

Don't know how they worked, but what you did to create one was rename a .wav to a .jpg .gif .bmp .etc

AOL Instant Messenger had several remote code execution exploits. They worked just by sending an IM to someone. You could also crash their computer remotely, or maybe it would just create their client.

Also their stored password encryption algorithm was easily reversible.

What if players could claim a small plot of squares that is frozen in time while you draw your creation. Their changes are visible to all while working on it, and when they unfreeze it, the chaos begins.

And it's even on by default on Windows server builds. :|

Can't the bots just sign up for accounts?

I watched some VR videos of DJ sets that I found very immersive. I think the trick was that the camera was at audience level and I could turn around and see people dancing around me on all sides.

I watched another VR concert that was just the performer and no audience, and that was kind of dull.

I think I came across that same Wikipedia entry while originally researching the feasibility of my idea.

I agree, my reply was tangential to the topic of the AP article being discussed here. I apologize for getting off topic.

And I didn't mean to give the impression that I have some grievance that these jobs aren't filled by Americans.

My curiosity was why aren't there more American kids having a working vacation in beach towns, not shame on these towns for importing labor.

I was thinking about this the other day in the context of the boardwalk town that I vacation in sometimes. There are a lot of college student aged workers who come from Europe for the summer and work in every service industry job imaginable in town. There are agencies that find these European workers and help them find jobs and housing.

It makes me wonder why there aren't more American young adults taking these jobs. I think it would be great fun to live at the beach for the summer. Maybe the wages are too low, or American kids are focused on internships? Or maybe the European workers are better employees? I don't know.
