Of course it’s not funny, when the child ends up with a name with 7 syllables that even the kid can’t pronounce until they’re 9 years old.

- Package arrives and porch pirates thankfully didn’t get it.

- Comment on Google AI strikes again 5 days ago:
There’s actually a history to the change in terminology, and it’s mostly because of Steve Jobs and the Apple Macintosh. They were largely focused on bringing many character styles over to their new-at-the-time system, and apparently thought it would save pixel space on their limited size 512 pixel wide menu if they just called ‘Typeface’ as simply ‘Font’
- Comment on Google AI strikes again 5 days ago:
Never worked with a typewriter or printing press I see.
The experts defined the terminology, it’s just you purely digital people that forgot the original terminology.
- Comment on Google AI strikes again 5 days ago:
Incorrect, what we commonly call fonts are actually typefaces…

Fun fact: Many insects cannot walk backwards.
I dunno about flies in particular, but if you ever get an insect in your ear, pour some rubbing alcohol in your ear to kill it, then go see a doctor to get it removed.
Don’t ask how I know this.

This belongs more on Technology and Privacy communities.
For Android users at least, I recommend the Léon URL Cleaner app, when you share a link from many common sources to the URL Cleaner, it removes all that tracking shit for you.

liquid cooking?
Haha, stupid sexy autocorrect, or honest typo, either way I got a good chuckle!

- Comment on If you use that "Pretty Litter" color changing cat litter, and you actually see the entire rainbow of colors, then your cat(s) are pretty fucked up and should go to the vet. 1 week ago:
You apparently have a strange cat then.
Have you tried a different flavor of litter?

- Comment on Tape drive backups 2 weeks ago:
Tapes can have long term issues in storage, as the tape reel winds will eventually start to bleed over magnetic signals from one wind to the next.
In analog world, they call it tape hiss. In digital world, with good error correction, it can last a long time, but is still ultimately prone to data corruption, eventually…
I recommend a video surveillance rated multi terabyte hard drive, they’re designed to run 24/7. I have two 4TB Seagate Skyhawks.
- Comment on How did websites like TinEye recognize cropped photos of the same image (and other likened pictures), without the low-entry easyness of LLM/AI Models these days? 2 weeks ago:
Looking past the days of old, while also dismissing modern artificial intelligence, the same techniques would still work if you just processed the thumbnails of the images, which for simplicity sake, might as well be a 1/8 scale image, if not actually even lower resolution.
- Comment on How did websites like TinEye recognize cropped photos of the same image (and other likened pictures), without the low-entry easyness of LLM/AI Models these days? 2 weeks ago:
JPEG works in 8x8 pixel blocks, and back in the day, most JPEG images weren’t all that big. Each 8x8 pixel block (64 pixels per block) could easily and quickly be processed as if it were a single pixel.
So if you had a 1024x768 JPEG, then the fast scanning technique would only scan the 128x96 blocks, not necessary to process every single pixel.
Of course the results could never be perfectly accurate, but most images are unique enough that this would be more than sufficient for fast scanning.

Incorrect. You don’t mirror flip it, you swap the images to convert between cross/parallel view.
Source: I wrote my own stereogram software, I know the difference.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 2 weeks ago:
Boo, these are cross-view, not parallel-view.
