  • was claiming to be able to take superzoom photos of the moon, but were actually just replacing the very fuzzy moon with a clear image

    https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/13/23637401/samsung-fake-moon-photos-ai-galaxy-s21-s23-ultra

    is indeed samsung that did this.

    Now you see, that’s the problem there… they were claiming to do X, but were actually doing Y.

    Just as lets say if we did have AI person removal… but you said "actually lets you see what’s behind the person that would obviously be a problem, as obviously that’s actually impossible.

    Likewise you hear space zoom… you have to point the camera at the moon… you assume that the camera is capturing the moon, and the image you are looking at is the moon in real time. Obviously not likely to happen but imagine for a second while you were looking at the moon through your camera, and say a meteor hit the moon leading to an enormous explosion and crater that would be visible through a telescope, or hell maybe something extreme enough that it’s at least partially visible even to the naked eye. The feature as described would let you see it enhanced in more detail than you could with the naked eye, while in reality it would replace the abnormalities and give you a picture of how the moon looks in it’s training data.







  • Yup… bottom line reading something critically, expecting it to be what everyone told you it was… and paying attention to discover it as the opposite.

    In some cases something you thought was profound, turns out to be bullshit, fluff or just horrific.

    Or in other cases something you thought was nonsense… turns out to be right about everything, down to it’s predictions of the horrible directions capitalism/imperealism would lead to, looking around and going, shit he predicted it almost perfectly.




  • I mean obviously depends on how much time the dev’s have on it, and what the cost etc… to make both are.

    If you make a game that’s expecting PVP to be the primary advantage, and the PVE is meant to be a minor time sink to add some stakes to the PVP mode, then obviously the PVE players once they start playing, will complain of the game being unfun, unbalanced etc… and then the development will have to start stretching out into other portions of the game etc…

    On the other hand if the games PVE mode actually does hold on it’s own, and the majority of the PVP is effectively people that enjoy attacking people that don’t want to be in that fight… then maybe an alternative server etc… isn’t a bad idea.

    Obviously no one is entitled to anything, it’s up to the developers to make the game they want. Players are welcome to play what they want.

    In terms of a “would this be a good business decision or good for the game”, well that depends widely on the game.

    Hassan? pretty underwhelming, in short, dog is walking around on this treadmill kind of thing, looks to me almost obvious that his dew claw got snagged on it and he yelps, roughly at the same time hassan’s hand is out of frame for a few seconds (that some are claiming he is pushing a shock remote).

    oh and someone found a 2 year old clip of him saying that his friend gave him a shock collar that is laying around his house but he’d never use.


  • I don’t get it, we’ve kept peoples pay the same if not lowered it, allowed housing prices and rent to go through the roof, mandated everyone to go into massive debt to get a school degree, and then told them they are struggling because we told them the problem is they are throwing away all their money on luxuries.

    Now they are cutting down on luxuries… (shocked pikachu face).

    Sometimes the decision for yourself, is to know when you need it.

    No matter what the conditions, neurotypical, neurodivergent, parent, kid… doesn’t matter. end of the day no one can do everything by themselves.

    The person who thinks they can always do everything and continues to throw themselves at it, is messing up just as hard as the one who asks for help every 2 seconds on things he should know.

    Being a capable adult, is figuring out what you can and can’t do on your own, and who is the best resource to get help from. Your a college student, your proffesors most likely have office hours, there’s likely a tutor system in place etc… These aren’t special things made for their “special ed” kids, they are resources available for everyone, for a reason. Again that doesn’t mean you have to or even should go to them before you look at what you are doing, you should look at the work, look at it. Find out what’s

    Oh i already know this, I’ll knock it out

    Hmmm this one is going to take a bit of added research, I think I can figure it out.

    and

    Oh shit, what language is this task written in?

    knock out everything you can do easily, put some work into the others, if somethings hanging you too long, move it into the last pile.

    Then go get the help you need. Don’t sell yourself short, don’t think taking advantage of the resources the school specifically has to help students is admitting failure, it’s knowing yourself. Trust me a 40 some year old fogie like myself, damn straight I turn to others when I need help. But most importantly I have the respect of the people I turn to, specifically because I do the due dilligence of eliminating all the newbie issues before bringing the problem up the ladder.

    I don’t know for certain if it’s autism… but my son went through a very similar trend to you on that. In short he flunked out of a semester of community college, he basically stopped doing his work 2 weeks in. just let everything slide, flunked out, wrecked his financial aid etc… Looked me in the eye every day when I asked him if he was keeping up with everything, and he eventually came clean to me in finals week when he realized it was all impossible to catch up.

    He’s never been officially diagnosed with autism, but him and I both have some strong factors that match it. For us basically we needed to get family therapy, did it remotely, gave him a session or 2 with the therapist. then some with myself and his stepmom. Honestly in the end what it takes is doing the actual honest thing, it starts with confessing, explaining how you faked the results, and show them how to get over it. IE the obvious ways it can be done is to give them direct access to the portal, or instead of screenshots go full on with say teamviewer, anydesk, screensharing in discord or microsoft teams etc… something that gives them real time so you can scroll and show them that the grade simulator etc… is not currently running etc…

    I don’t know how much your lying is taking you, but you certainly know there’s the rope, of how far you can lie before you hit the point of what you can’t hide things any longer. IE when you can’t sign up for the next class because you failed the previous. Again I can’t speak for you, but with my son, he said he was always lying to himself, telling himself he was just putting it off and he’ll catch everything up before the end of the semester, until he hit finals week, couldn’t catch everything up. Knew that was an impossible goal.

    I feel while the lying gave him a short term relief, that nagging in the back of his head, the panic of what happens when it all catches up to him etc… was weighing on him heavily in the meantime. You sound like you have supportive parents, they don’t sound like they are narcisists or controlling monsters, they actually are trying to help. Maybe you actually do need help?
