With local models it's always been easy to edit only a part of an image (inpainting), either by painting a mask or automatically using a small segmentation model. It's actually pretty strange that commercial models have resorted to redrawing the entire image even in cases where the requested change is localized.

I remember when in a past life we were allowed to bump the minimum supported IE version of our SPA framework from 6 to 8. It was a joyful day – but we soon realized that it didn’t really buy us that much because 8 was almost as quirky…

Maybe the coolest (heh) application of Cherenkov radiation is neutrino telescopes like IceCube, detecting tiny flashes of light in cubic kilometers of ultra-clear Antarctic ice, caused by vanishingly rare interactions between neutrinos and ordinary matter – and to exclude non-neutrino interactions, they look down, using the entire Earth as a shield guaranteed to stop anything that’s not a neutrino!

"Gregarious" is a standard term in biology.

There's no File > Export?!

File > Share is the same, just more user friendly language. I get it's a bit confusing if you've been using computers for a long time (it's certainly caught me out), but 'Share' makes much more sense. Especially because export/save to disk is only one of the multiple 'Share' options available.

Yes! It makes total sense to share with myself a Pages document as PDF! I‘ll promptly think of sharing if all I want to do is save/export a file in a different format. I think we can extend that helpful language to the entire OS! No need for a “copy” or “download” button, it’s all sharing, one way or another! Share share share!

Pages has an export menu (File -> Export To -> PDF).

Well they should fix that ASAP

"Share" really means send to someone else

"Export" means "save this working file in one of many formats, including possibly other formats that are first-class in third-party apps but not this app"


Share doesn't really make any sense. And other macOS applications have an Export menu all right.

> just more user friendly language

you try to justify it in a logical way, but you fail to realize that this is inherently subjective


Yes, yes, everyday I share myself a glass of milk from the fridge. Sure.

As opposed to exporting yourself a glass of milk from the fridge?

Well, it’s a smart TV. I would assume with extreme prejudice that every single one of them is doing stuff like this and worse until proven innocent. Based on everything I’ve read about these things it seems the most reasonable stance.

> In the previous topic I got ridiculed for not wanting to buy LG anymore because I could use an agent to modify to strip out the offending bits.

Jesus fucking Christ.


But that's an outlier. In normal countries you apply for a license, THEN after you get it, you're allowed to purchase a firearm.

Well, the Chinese surveillance state in the US took off 25 years ago, give or take a few days.

it's been around for quite a lot longer than that. 1984 was written in 1949 and wasn't strictly inspired by only fascist regimes - there were and still are a lot of similarities (eg ethnosupremaccy, nativism, etc) that have deep roots elsewhere

>With the end of World War II, Project SHAMROCK was established in 1945. The organization was created to accumulate telegraphic data entering and exiting from the United States.[4][22] Major communication companies such as Western Union, RCA Global and ITT World Communications actively aided the project, allowing American intelligence officials to gain access to international message traffic.[23] Under the project, and many subsequent programs, no precedent had been established for judicial authorization, and no warrants were issued for surveillance activities. The project was terminated in 1975.[4]


And how large a percentage of those who identify with the umbrella term "antifa" do you think are actually members of violent terrorist cells?

Like the anarchist groups that dress in all black and attack people/infra/stores in the middle of the night during riot?

Its hard to say, because political violence is a spectrum and the border is very blurry between being an organized violent rioter and someone engaging in terroristic activities. Both are bad in their own way.

But fundamentally there doesn't seem to be a huge categorical/technical difference between violent rioting and "terroristic" activism other than that terroristic attacks are simply the more serious/worse version of political violence.

EX: Once it gets to the point of targeting actual critical infrastructure, we can call that terrorism, and just getting into a fist fight at a roudy protests wouldn't be (even though both are technically political violence).

That being said, serious riots can cause a lot of damage and even kill people, but the blame is more collectively spread out towards a large group of people, as opposed to a few small groups causing the large amount of damage.


Are you antifa?

I don't go around dressed in black with anarchist symbols and wearing a mask, attacking people or destroying stores at riots in the middle of the night, no.

I generally stay away from that type of stuff and instead support non-violent, political change that happens within the system and I think those destructive groups are engaging in ineffective and bad tactics.


Are you antifa?

As I said before, the answer is no I don't go around dress in black or wearing anarchist symbols and getting violent at riots.

I do not do that so that would make me not fall under any type of anarchist label like that one.


And making nude statues wear clothes. Because freedom or something, I guess.
