Ok, fine, 33 bits 😂 Wikipedia says the world population is 8 billion, and python tells me that math.log2(8e9)
is 32.897.

Remember, kids, it only takes 32 bits to uniquely identify any person on the planet. That’s 32 yes or no questions. Of course, they have to be perfectly crafted questions, but identifying power of fingerprinting must not be underestimated.
Oh, this’ll blow your mind. Digital cameras don’t capture the entire image all at once. They typically capture one row of pixels at a time, so each row comes from a different moment in time.
So the point I was alluding to is that two adjacent frames in a video carry slightly more timing information than they might appear to based on timestamps.
Specifically, if you have two frames where a dot appears at the bottom and then a second dot appears at the top, you can’t be 100% certain that the first dot to appear actually showed up first, or whether it’s an artifact of the rolling shutter effect.
Jeez, I wonder if they accounted for the rolling shutter to get higher time resolution
If the video was 30 fps, sounds like two frames
The darned neural implant generation doesn’t even know how to doomscroll with their fingers. Kids these days smh no cap.
This all hinges on when you count the number of problems you have. But that’s why you have two eyes! Read the same page of books 1 and 2 in parallel and obliterate 100% of your problems.
I was thinking mowing at night is the worst time because the morning dew would promote mold growth while the blades of grass are most damaged. But I’m just making shit up.
I think the judge would know it when they see it and laugh them out of the court room.
This is like comparing paintings to the Mona Lisa. Shrek is the crowning achievement of our civilization.
This headline sounded familiar. The article’s from 8 months ago, folks.
In fairness, kids these days will have all sorts of formative memories unfathomable to previous generations
There are a select few where I want notifications. Basically email, chat, calendar… and nothing else.
It’s not that bandwidth is incredibly expensive, it’s more that it’s a limited resource, videos are huge, and there’s a gajillion users.
For practical purposes, it’s probably good enough. You could write a program to check whether it’s non-repeating up to N digits, so just set N high enough that it will last you for a few thousand releases…
When I can’t wrap my head around a technical document or journal article, I print it. My brain craves paper. I’m a software engineer, so believe me that I would be live inside the computer if I could.
I think the real Robinhood is rolling in his grave. And his merry men as well, they’re all spinning in their collective, fictional graves.
A manwolf?
To be positively translucent, even someone with $1,000,000 in the bank has 1000x less than the poorest billionaire. For other disturbing facts, see https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/.
