Not to be provocative and possibly disappointing you but some interpretation of that scene is that precisely because Littlefinger lives, he does have a use to somebody who has power, and thus also wield genuine power.
Hermeneutics… 😅

Absolutely, to clarify I didn’t DRMs don’t have ton of terrible side effects.
What I meant is that they do NOT even work.
It’s like putting a lock on a fence. It “looks” sturdy but once you know how to lock-pick (remove DRMs entirely) or hop over (capture) then it’s pointless.

Anyway on a totally unrelated topic🙄 I installed this very convenient Python library https://pypi.org/project/DeGourou/ called DeGourou (DeDRM + libgourou) that allows to download files and remove bugs🪲 in them.

DRM is really just security theater.
If you don’t know what it is, it really looks “secure” and “strong”.
If you know what it is, you install the right tool, it’s gone before even finishing coffee.

“criteria for free machine learning applications
…what must be distributed to users of an ML application so that they are able to control their own computing. Such an ML application could be called a free (or libre) machine learning application.”

“contrary to popular perception, most cyclists do not run reds: 84% of the cyclists stopped at red traffic lights.” 2007 Transport For London camera study, 7500 cyclists at five junctions https://content.tfl.gov.uk/traffic-note-8-cycling-red-lights.pdf
🚦84%… that’s not 51%.

“lawbreaking while riding a bicycle has less to do with who you are than where you live: the overall context, norms, and social processes of a city play a meaningful role in bicycling behaviors.”
… namely we compensate for shitty infrastructure when there is no other choice.

Are cyclists really reckless? How did you came to the conclusion? Any research showing it’s not a biased perspective?
https://daily.jstor.org/are-cyclists-reckless-lawbreakers/
“While drivers and pedestrians mostly break the rules of the road to save time, for cyclists the most common reason is personal safety.”

Yeay, some basic for caching in order to work offline when content is not available. It doesn’t cover all content types for now.

What is also partially done is how to package all that in a single file so that, even though it is flexible, the result remains portable :

Pushing more and more configurable content outside of the code, in files, including :
- content itself (e.g. documents, series of notes, etc)
- annotations
- layout
… and last but not least, styling. https://x.com/utopiah/status/1849018120838508865

Should each FLOSS project always have, no matter how “bad” the author think they solution might be, a file format and API section explaining HOW to interop?
(original)
-
Replying to @utopiah
Sure, LLMs can be a “fix” but using a gigantic model running on remote GPU server farms to coerce some format to JSON is ridiculously costly, ecologically & otherwise.
We are accelerating the destruction of our environment because we can’t define explicit formats and protocols!

Same appeal from same failure.⚠️
A lot of “success” from LLMs used by programmers, AND trying to include “power users”, highlight failures in interoperability.
We corner ourselves juggling with black boxes.
We need composable tools and data!🧩

Possibly alleviating that by packing the directory content, creating a kind of virtual filesystem.

Now with canonical view, if default.layout.json exists, use it.
It can also be overwritten per usage, per user as alternative addition views (which can also be shared, but do assume access to files and their content).

Replying to @utopiah
Composing with filenames, e.g. here .layout.json but also with .live hence being able to write and see the result instantly, repetitively.

IP minefield.
Finding the largest dataset to train when you are an academic and that the outcome itself is the research showing “it” (whatever “it” is really, e.g. beating STOA) is possible is one thing.
It’s another to sell, or let other, sell what’s been “generated”.

Ok ok… AI might not reason or write complex code (yet, they say!⚠️) but at least it can be use to quickly jolt down some images and concept, and be more efficient!
Or not… well, just in your literally basement as long as you don’t share the result and try to make money.🤷♂️ /$ https://x.com/Variety/status/1848415459332272597

Replying to @Gaurav_D_Kale
Thanks! Well it’s basically remixing past prototypes and loosening some constraints, e.g. not being pure headless.
It’ll be all open source and added, as per usual as an experimental branch of https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/text-code-xr-engine/
The end goal? Better interoperability for (Web)XR.

Yes! But… to be honest at this point is more becoming a “whatever you can throw at it” reader https://x.com/utopiah/status/1848036012120822015 and in fact even set of readers/viewers.
It’s very much work in progress but it took shape faster than expected last week.

sin(x)/(x+1) from 0 to 10 is arguably a good approximation

Giving pages some shape :
[0, .1, .15, .17, .15, .1, .05, 0, -0.01, 0, 0].map( (c,j) => { for (let i=0;i<xDiv+1;i++){ sheet.geometry.attributes.position.setZ(j+i*(xDiv+1),c) } })
sheet.geometry.attributes.position.needsUpdate = trueNot the most compact (fading sin) but works.

PS: totally unrelated but the “rendering” is absolutely ridiculous, so much it’s actually entertaining.
Obviously no fridge centuries ago… even less a TV, but even a single family home? That doesn’t host dozens of people per room? It existed sure but it was very privileged.

Also the M$ Research link I shared is not the first on the topic, there is also past work (including interesting one at M$ too) so this is just yet another example of trying to collectively be mindful of the intellectual provenance, how ideas come to be.

It is still interesting to consider but once again I believe it’s important to disentangle products from R&D (marking gap) and even more concepts (which are still important and powerful) for actual functional (no matter how finicky) prototypes.

FWIW this was done in real time 5 years ago, cf “DreamWalker: Substituting Real-World Walking Experiences with a Virtual Reality” by Yang, Holz, Ofek & Wilson for UIST 2019 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/dreamwalker-substituting-real-world-walking-experiences-with-a-virtual-reality/
It was then actual real-time, not a concept through post-proc/VFX thanks to AI🤷♂️ https://x.com/NathieVR/status/1848043824251379819
