I think we kinda misunderstand what the other person is saying/what they imagine the outcome to be. There’s a crass culture difference here.

In the UK (and presumably most other European countries) the police would 100% escalate things if they see someone with a gun near a large aggregation of people. Carrying guns like that is simply illegal and the only reasonable deduction is that you carry a gun because you want to use it - i.e. you are about to commit murder.

Police violence against protesters is usually limited to water cannons and tear gas, maybe rubber bullets. Protester violence is rare, sometimes throwing rocks, maybe Molotov cocktails and burning cars.

By and large guns don’t provide security.

There are a lot more creative ways to protest violently though!

No, because you can’t mathematically guarantee that pi contains long strings of predetermined patterns.

The 1.101001000100001… example by the other user was just that - an example. Their number is infinite, but never contains a 2. Pi is also infinite, but does it contain the number e to 100 digits of precision? Maybe. Maybe not. The point is, we don’t know and we can’t prove it either way (except finding it by accident).

C is so old, it has a way to work around that! In case your 198x keyboard was not set to ASCII you know. Not sure if Morse covers all the characters needed for the replacement trigraphs though.

Server’s down :(

The election system distorts the vote quite dramatically in the US, that’s true.

However, depending on where you’re from left has quite a different meaning from what Americans mean when they say left. E.g. the Democrats don’t want to dismantle capitalism or expropriate real estate companies (the city of Berlin seriously looked into this option). Center left has a similar shift in meaning in other countries.

Yes, but at some point it doesn’t matter. The AI is trained to replicate human writing. There will be a point where it becomes so good that the result is a perfect replica, where it is indistinguishable from human text. I.e. even a perfect detector will not be able to confidently declare it as AI written, not ever. Because there is no difference.

I bet AI detection is going to get a lot better over time.

I doubt it. ChatGPT 3.5 is good enough to rewrite small snippets of text with better phrasing, ChatGPT 4.0 can write a paragraph if given enough support. Good enough as in "the output is indistinguishable from what a human would have written.

Of course you can do even more with the currently available tools - and get found out.

There is a way to make AI generated text detectable: by slightly pushing the output towards a consistent pattern a detector can reliably judge long pieces of text as AI generated.
Imagine if the AI is biased towards consecutive words starting with consecutive letters of the alphabet (e.g. “a blue car” instead of “a navy vehicle”.). Not strongly biased, but enough so that when there are 1000 words you can look at the probability of consecutive words starting with consecutive letters of the alphabet and get a clear result.

There are two problems though: this only works with proprietary systems and only with long texts.

I have compact view. I tap on a thumbnail to make the image “full screen”. In short succession I tap on the screen once, then touch and drag, which zooms the image.

Since I have it set to dismiss/leave “full screen” via of images by swiping the image up or down I need the tap before dragging to zoom into the image.

It still works the same.

I don’t understand the “that’s no how PDFs work” criticism.

Removing data from the original file is the whole point of the exercise! Of course unique tokens can be hidden in plain sight in images, letter spacing, etc. If we want to make sure to remove that we need to degrade the quality of the PDF so that this information is lost in said lossy conversion.

It’s funny because the (far) left vilifies the police and then goes all surprised Pikachu when they turn out to not be manned by far left people.

Idealism in all honor, but you’re not gonna change the system without being in control of the current power structures.

As though badges grow on trees

True, if there is no police it’s not like cops just appear.

The mafia does.

Actually, apple varieties are preserved via grafting. If you take an apple seed, the tree that will grow from it only has 50% of the DNA of the tree that made the apple. So there is absolutely no guarantee that the taste was preserved across generations.

Jo, wenn du nicht gestört hast ist’s ein bisschen Assi dich vom Platz zu vertreiben. Aber wenn sie für ihren Verein den Platz gemietet haben kann es schon sein, dass sie halt alleine trainieren wollen.

Bist du sicher, dass es ein öffentlicher Platz (wie ein Park) ist? Sportflächen werden oft vermietet (wie z.b. auch ne Stadthalle für Veranstaltungen vermietet wird).

Ich habe gelernt, das bei Lichtschutzfaktor 15 etwa 7 Prozent der Sonnenstrahlen an die Haut gelangen, bei 30 nur noch 3,5 Prozent und bei einem Lichtschutzfaktor von 60 wiederum nur noch die Hälfte. LSF 30 oder 50 macht in der Realität also keinen Unterschied mehr, das ist nur noch Marketing.

Korrekt. Ander formuliert kann man auch sagen, dass Lichtschutzfaktor X bedeutet, dass jemand mit Sonnencreme X Mal so lange draußen sein muss um die gleiche Dosis UV Strahlung abzubekommen.
Also 5 Minuten ohne Sonnencreme sind equivalent zu 5 Stunden mit Lichtschutzfaktor 60.

What about auroras? Not /s

Make both hands into a fist and hold them out in front of you so that the knuckles are visible. Now start on a pinky and count the knuckles and valleys between them. Knuckles are 31 days, valleys are 30 (and February). When you switch between hands it doesn’t count as a valley.

Left Pinky knucke: January, 31 days
Left Pinky/ring finger valley: February
Left Ring finger knuckle: march, 31
Left Ring/middle: April, 30
Left Middle: may, 31
Left Middle/index: June, 30
Left Index: July, 31
Right Index: August, 31
Right Index/middle: September, 30
Right middle: Oktober, 31
Right middle/ring: November, 30
Right ring finger knuckle: December, 31
