Thanks for bringing up a point to continue the conversation, unfortunate you’re getting downvoted with only sarcastic disagreement to go on. I disagree, but only on a point of nuance – ideally that financial incentive improves the quality of mod offerings, and in some cases it does (I’ll take your word on Assetto Corsa mods). But I’d say it’s still a net-negative on the whole because then the financial incentive becomes the goal, not a quality mod. It also gives the parent company control over visibility, so they’ll promote the mods that get them the biggest cut, which inevitably will be the shiniest ones and not necessarily the ones that actually improve the game, then passionate creators get disheartened and leave.
All conjecture – I’m not super active in any modding scene, my only experience is hitting the 256 mod limit in Skyrim a long time ago.
What would be extremely rock and roll-- punk rock, even – is donating all of the proceeds from that show to pro-union efforts.

The mishandling is indeed what I’m concerned about most. I now understand far better where you’re coming from, sincere thanks for taking the time to explain. Cheers
Thanks for the response! It sounds like you had access to a higher quality system than the worst, to be sure. Based on your comments I feel that you’re projecting the confidence in that system onto the broader topic of facial recognition in general; you’re looking at a good example and people here are (perhaps cynically) pointing at the worst ones. Can you offer any perspective from your career experience that might bridge the gap? Why shouldn’t we treat all facial recognition implementations as unacceptable if only the best – and presumably most expensive – ones are?
A rhetorical question aside from that: is determining one’s identity an application where anything below the unachievable success rate of 100% is acceptable?
Can you please start linking studies? I think that might actually turn the conversation in your favor. I found a NIST study (pdf link), on page 32, in the discussion portion of 4.2 “False match rates under demographic pairing”:
The results above show that false match rates for imposter pairings in likely real-world scenarios are much higher than those from measured when imposters are paired with zero-effort.
This seems to say that the false match rate gets higher and higher as the subjects are more demographically similar; the highest error rate on the heat map below that is roughly 0.02.
Something else no one here has talked about yet – no one is actively trying to get identified as someone else by facial recognition algorithms yet. This study was done on public mugshots, so no effort to fool the algorithm, and the error rates between similar demographics is atrocious.
And my opinion: Entities using facial recognition are going to choose the lowest bidder for their system unless there’s a higher security need than, say, a grocery store. So, we have to look at the weakest performing algorithms.
Never knew this was a thing, hope you make it!
Yeah I got the impression it was a recoverable condition after a search found a bunch of guides for “unbricking” (Android phones). Semantics are the true enemy it seems
So then it didn’t run after the car wash – unless we’re ignoring the mandatory steps needed to get it working again, the headline is pretty accurate. Or are you considering “bricked” a permanent condition?
That’s so cute, I can’t. Thanks for paying your taxes on time.
Crypto did unfortunate things to the space.
That’s the intended effect – a condescending dismissal of being condescendingly dismissed. Not much you can say to a clear sign of disengagement.
It’s a freeing feeling when you decide to put money into what you want instead of what has the biggest ROI.
Never resign! What honourable player would deprive their foe of a well-earned mate? What of endgame practice?! Playing from a losing position is good for you.
It matters from a cause-and-effect standpoint, but you’re callously and self-righteously blaming their whole situation on it. That you stop trying to understand the situation at that point reveals that you’re using it as an excuse to blame peoples’ suffering exclusively on their personal choices to feel better about yourself. That completely ignores any circumstances, predatory draws, nonstandard brain chemistry, or other factors outside of their control and assume they had perfect, complete knowledge of the situation and consequences at the time – which is honestly silly.
That’s why we have Mathcore. Also if this is you, please check out this programming themed prog album.
I’ve recently been trying to focus on this! A few years ago I looked at my collection of various things I don’t really need and realized how little I know about maintaining them properly; I just bought things with no regard to how long it would be around. If I were to actually do the recommended weekly maintenance on everything including home, it’d probably be a full time job. I’ve since taken a step back and slowly worked one thing at a time into my weekly schedule while minimizing, and it feels pretty rewarding. It changed the way I value things, both at their peak of function and that have a small issue I wouldn’t have considered fixing before.
If you put someone on a wall hook, would they then have been hung? Likewise if I suspend my painting with a noose, has the painting been hanged?
