I'm not like a drone-i-ologist or nothin, but from what I gather, both sides have gotten really good at detecting and jamming drone communication in the Ukraine/Russia conflict, which would probably make that a tough use case. I've read that the newer attack drones are controlled by a reaaallly long, reaaalllyy thin fiber optic line!

The idea would be to use autonomous drones, so they wouldn't need to communicate, the problem would be that the GPS signal is jammed.

Is there an option for it to read the contents from a pipe? that's by far my biggest use for the jq app.

I don't know, but you can always use <() process substitution to create a temp file.

Audacity is very very very far from state of the art in that respect.

This new SAM model actually competes against SOTA models.

> Short form video as the medium, and algorithm that samples entire catalog (vs just followers) were inevitable.

I doubt that. There is a reason the videos get longer again.

So people could have ignored the short form from the beginning. And wasn’t the matching algorithm the teal killer feature that amazed people, not the length of the videos?

Have you seen YouTube's front-page? It's pretty much 20-40min videos full of fluff.

It's not about threat, it's about privacy. I understand your statements but 'what is the threat in this case' to answer that: I don't want to know, I've moved on from those worries. Always encrypt.

What privacy? Whoever is watching your traffic can see you accessed their website with HTTPS, they can guess with high accuracy which article you are reading based on the response size.

I'm surprised Firefox didn't warn me when I went to the page. Hostile teleco/MITM waiting for HTTP traffic are a real-world way that nation states deliver exploits.

You can enable it in the settings.

It’s not difficult to hack this together with CLIP. I did this with about a tenth of my movie collection last week with a GTX 1080 - though it lacks temporal understanding so you have to do the scene analysis yourself

vhcr · 2 months ago

I'm guessing you're not storing the CLIP for every single frame, instead of every second or so? Also, are you using the cosine similarity? How are you finding the nearest vector?

IIRC BitTorrent still uses SHA-1, which is becoming more problematic.

vhcr · 3 months ago

BitTorrent v2 uses SHA-256, but in any case SHA-1 is still second-preimage resistant. And the BitTorrent piece hashes are included in the .torrent file, so you would need to find a double collision.
