Whoa - I think we need to be cautious about dismissing genuine concerns around being deepfaked as just victimhood. The issues surrounding deepfake porn are complex than that - they can have significant psychological impact on individuals.

Also we really can’t ignore the lack of consent and the abhorrent violation of someone's image. This can’t be boiled down to growing “thicker skin” - there’s pretty major ethical considerations as well as the potential harm it can cause to a person's reputation and mental well-being.

Nice job with the map! It was great seeing your presentation at symposium!

Thanks for sharing, that situation is not great and you did the right thing. One a side note, is your username a reference to the University of Waterloo?

Are you guys hiring any interns this summer/fall?

Any internship positions available?

Hi Colin, I’m curious as to how you search repeated letters through ngram index? I understand the example search with the string “limits” (find intersection of “lim”, “imi”, “mit” and “its”). However, if the user wants to search the string “aaaaa” how would you go about searching that?

I can't answer any of your other questions but Obsidian is owned by Dynalist, which is based in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Their OCN number is 2538019 if you want to search them up, they're also on CrunchBase https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/dynalist

I would much rather host it on my own domain that I control.

You can and they encourage users to consider not using CDNs in production
