A generative model uses the classifier as part of its training. If you generate a picture of pure random noise, then iteratively pick random noise that the classifier says “looks” more like csam, then you can effectively generate images that the classifier says it’s 100% certain is csam. Whether or not that looks anything like what a human would consider to be csam depends on other factors but it remains a possibility.

Jesus Christ. If someone ever got their hands on this model they could use it to generate new material. The grossest possible AI model to date

Pretty sure the adult star was lil Lupe. She was everywhere at the time because she did, indeed, look underage.

Yeah I’m just gonna tell our group of 55+ year old mechanical engineers to learn Python; that’ll go over really well /s

I get that there are solutions to the problem, but there’s no way a team of 10 can port 35 years of win32 dependence and keep the business solvent. Maybe incrementally, over the course of 10-15 years. We’re just now migrating off of .NET 4.8 because we use WCF so much.

It’s an adoption problem. My company only supports windows because all our customers use windows. All our customers use windows because all their vendors only support windows.

First thing I did when I heard it was required for win 11.

I stopped posting my kids on social media. I don’t think it’s fair to them to create an online presence without their informed consent.

I want to throw a lemon-themed birthday party, does anyone know of a good website to get ideas for events and decorations at a lemon-themed party?

It looks like the cover of an R. L. Stine book.

I don’t know what cast iron you’ve been using but I can cook eggs and pretty much anything else just fine in cast iron without it sticking. I basically just leave it in my oven with a light coat of oil on the inside after cleaning it so it gets seasoned whenever I bake something.

I’m a mechanical engineer and have spent literal years in front of Creo and SolidWorks. Trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after being accustomed to a business jet; they can ostensibly get you where you need to go, but the cost in effort to use the tool is not worth the cost saved in buying the commercial tool.

Do we just want a reasonable subscription price?

Yay, basically. I paid for premium when I could afford it because I want the platform to keep working and I hate ads.

Premium prices went up without a lot of value for me so I quit paying. Technically premium offers a lot but the core feature that I actually cared about (YouTube without ads) never changed in value. If I had the option of only paying for that, I’d do it. To me, YT is a higher priority than any other streaming service. But they don’t provide a way for me to only pay for the stuff I care about

My mom told me that she was made fun of for having a book of hand written account credentials related to running her business (6 people total). I told her it was the best way to do it that wasn’t massively overcomplicated for her situation and to keep it up. The only recommendation I made is that she use different long passwords for every site since she’s already not memorizing them.

Personally I’m not convinced this isn’t the best way unless you’re being targeted by physical bad actors

Got two kisses from girls I would have never otherwise met at high school due to Myspace.

I’ve literally never seen or heard of porn being on Twitter/X. This is news to me.

Japan has 1/3 the population vs the US so that means that nearly every man, woman, and child has Twitter in Japan vs 30% of US people.

I disabled my TPM in BIOS so Windows would never upgrade

Doesn’t matter, in the end, because it’s the same story for tons of us out there. The company I work at now makes a product that only works on Windows. It’s in most of the power plants in the country. You’ve never heard of us unless you are one of half a dozen people at each power plant. There are thousands and thousands of companies just like mine, cranking out software that only works on Windows.

I think the only thing that will change this trend is the raspberry pi and machines like it. Make it so cheap to equip your employees with a Linux machine that it’s impossible to ignore.

Even then, though, 10 hours of lost productivity a month makes the windows machine the more valuable buy for even a low paid employee.
