Because it’s still pretty hard to make it and it’s bad - you can easily tell it’s fake.

This makes it as easy as typing a sentence - and the quality seems fairly realistic

No because there are lots of photos of possum and space that it has seen

How do you suppose your CP generator will be trained without using authentic CP images? Not only will that require revictimization but you’ll also be downloading CP to train the model.

Of course some level of censorship is needed, otherwise it can be used to produce porn involving real people without their consent (eg celebs)

Just so others are aware, me and this guy have been 'friends' since 2015. He sent me a screenshot of this comment on Signal before he posted it. Its just his way to not address what I said.

Refer to our conversations over the last 5 years, or even the last 2 weeks

The fact that this has never happened before except when literal incitement of violence was being carried out (google for screenshots) and not being stopped, shows there's no reason to worry this will happen to you.

Scala really isn’t that complex though. It’s actually pretty intuitive.

You CAN write bad and hairy scala code just like you can in any language. But that doesn’t mean the language is to blame.

Can you make it so I determine the user segment on my end and just send you the user id and segment id? I'd totally use this then.

I have a pretty large codebase written in scala 2.12 or so (whatever the version was around late 2018). I'd like to migrate it to scala 3. Any ideas how hard it'll be?

This is like saying, airplanes are too complex. There are so many knobs and buttons. I'd rather just walk or ride a bike everywhere.

Scala is a very powerful, very expressive language. There are some features which you can just choose to leave out. If you do, you end up with a very clean, concise, and powerful language that makes you really productive.

I've literally had moments where I made my algorithm 5x faster just by adding 4 letters: '.par' in front of an operation. Instantly it got parallelized without my having to do anything, and the processing time got cut 5x.

I agree, this occurred to me too. I don't want to share my user data with a 3rd party service.

See my edit!

Looks cool, but why can't I find a screenshot of what the widget would look like on my website anywhere?

Edit: Found the answer on the video. Looks like nothing is shown until the founder starts a call with the user.

Suggestions:

- It'd be great if the user could initiate calls too, e.g if they fit in a certain group, let them initiate a call as a form of 'customer support'

- Can you allow audio only calls?

I LOVE this idea though. Will definitely be a user.

This is really cool. I wish there was a way to have non-english speaking journalists as interviewers, I'd totally set them loose on many of my family members.

Edit: Your homepage doesn't explain what you do well enough, IMO. When I visited it I wasn't sure what you do - but reading your post explained it to me (I think) - you hire journalists to interview your loved ones and turn it into a podcast. I didn't get that from your homepage.

I disagree, you can definitely improve the stuff you built in retool. As a dev it's saved me a lot of time from having to build non user-facing dashboards, etc that would otherwise take up a lot of time. Instead I was able to spend that time on the core features.

Can you give any examples of those 'walking through walls' moments?

He made this site in the early 2000s using the store builder he coded in the 90s. His framework probably doesn't even have support for SSL (because it was written in the 90s).

Here's my ugly duckling: naminus.com

Why not build your own VPN protocol similar to VyperVPN, but make it so ISPs in repressive regimes can’t tell the user is using a VPN?

What’s the advantage of a p2p model instead of a better / stealthy VPN protocol that can’t be blocked, which you can also commercialise?

That's a lot of typing, over 57 years. How did you avoid RSI, carpal tunnel, and other injuries / health problems related to programming for this long?

You're 100% correct. It won't be fool proof, by any means. But, it'll be better than the current situation, which is to have only the confirmed cases and no estimate of actual cases.

I'm thinking of making the best guess on the fatality rate, time to double, etc, and allowing people to tweak the variables. And using the officially reported death numbers.

Because, there's a difference between confirmed cases, and actual cases.

Based on the number of deaths, we can calculate the actual number of cases.

Is there a calculator for showing the actual case numbers, inferred from the number of deaths?

Why? Mental illnesses are not a choice, so its not others will start getting mental illnesses if its celebrated.

But if you're successful despite a mental illness (by any measure of success), its worth celebrating that so others with that condition can see it can be overcome. And it'll help reduce stigma.

Uh, what's wrong with listing if you have a mental illness? To me, its no different than listing any physical illness you're a survivor of.

Cool project, what would be cooler is if you had an API to retrieve the labels for a given word. May be that's in the works?

nah, we genuinely prefer working for ourselves if that's an option.
