I don’t use windows, stop assuming things about me

Seems a bit silly to comment confidently on changes happening within Windows that you don’t experience then, no?

He’s so juiceless, this is nothing lmao

Decent chance it’s an img2img conversion using the prompt for a rusty dumpster

Think catturd, but Gamer™.

Considering that the goober on the right is Grummz, and the image on the left is a traditional Japanese illustration of a samurai, I’m going to go with: Yes

God I hate Take Two.

Baby don’t hurt can’t see me

Well this is Interesting.

Video storage and bandwidth is probably my most pressing concern, but that’s the same as with peertube, no?

Speaking of which, are they going to consult with PeerTube for cross compatibility?

3-5 years ago, posting this would get people copy pasting the dictionary definition of solipsism at you and downvotes to hell. But now…it seems we are determined to crowdsource proof of it being the world we live in 🙃

Edit: the gutter subs that post the incendiary content is missing for you? That’s interesting

We need to shut down the stand up venues until we figure what the fuck is going on

Yeah, that second part is concerning.

I like that acronym you made of authlefts.

On Twitch?

Why???

Is this enough dictator behavior to call him an aspiring dictator for you yet?

That uses a similar approach to the wake word technology, but slightly differently applied.

I am not a computer or ML scientist but this is the gist of how it was explained to me:

Your smartphone will have a low-powered chip connect to your microphone when it is not in use/phone is idle to run a local AI model (this is how it works offline) that asks one thing: is this music or is it not music. Anyway, after that model decides it’s music, it wakes up the main CPU which looks up a snippet of that audio against a database of other audio snippets that correspond to popular/likely songs, and then it displays a song match.

To answer your questions about how it’s different:

• the song id happens on a system level access, so it doesn’t go through the normal audio permission system, and thus wouldn’t trigger the microphone access notification.

• because it is using a low-powered detection system rather than always having the microphone on, it can run with much less battery usage.

• As I understand it, it’s a lot easier to tell if audio seems like it’s music than whether it’s a specific intelligible word that you may or may not be looking for, which you then have to process into language that’s linked to metadata, etc etc.

• The initial size of the database is somewhat minor, as what is downloaded is a selection of audio patterns that the audio snippet is compared against. This database gets rotated over time, and the song id apps often also allow you to send your audio snippet to the online megadatabases (Apple’s music library/Google’s music library) for better protection, but overall the data transfer isn’t very noticeable. Searching for arbitrary hot words cannot be nearly as optimized as assistant activations or music detection, especially if it’s not built into the system.

And that’s about it…for now.

All of this is built on current knowledge of researchers analysing data traffic, OS functions, ML audio detection, mobile computation capabilities, and traditional mobile assistants. It’s possible that this may change radically in the near future, where arbitrary audio detection/collection somehow becomes much cheaper computationally, or generative AI makes it easy to extrapolate conversations from low quality audio snippets, or something else I don’t know yet.

This has gotta be the stupidest (and honestly ugliest) alternative to Reddit awards.

Thanks for the crudely gold-colored-brass up vote, kind stranger.

Damn, I can’t believe such a legend is gone.

That you apparently have the privilege to not be affected by the consequences of a Republican government doesn’t invalidate the choices of those who would be, and voted accordingly.

We are all complicit in the same way we are all complicit for the war crimes committed by America in the Middle East: most of us did not have a choice in the matter whatsoever. All we can do is demand them to stop.

I’m not going to judge someone whose choices are “genocide” and “genocide even more, and even more local genocide” and picks the former.
