I strongly feel this should be illegal and the creators of this product should be judged, forbidden from holding any decision making positions in the future, and the families of the children compensated

i'm so tired of those HN blog articles where the title is always someone over confidently claiming something they have no expertise over (sorry, being a software engineer and founder doesn't make you a job market expert nor a historian, and doesn't make your opinion relevant). I wish there were options on HN to filter out "my opinion is a fact and you're all wrong" articles

Nice, but why ?

i like the concept but i don't like the stock images

thanks ! i feel stupid for only checking out the linked paper lol

could something similar be used for texture synthesis ? of course the particles will need to be arranged in a grid and everything, or maybe recreate the texture by interpolating between the particles to exploit low contrast areas in the data

Hello, sorry i didn't reply sooner, i searched the original article for quotes and additional context but the website seems to have been updated and i cannot find it, making my original comment useless now.

I didn't mean to question or minimize the pressure and domination put on everyday people by authoritarian systems. My comment was meant to question the website's implications that this could all be deduced by the content of the photographs.

For the Parade comment specifically, i dislike the idea that the Soviet Union's ideology and tactics and motives can be deduced by the appearance of the parade, all thanks to Manhoff instead of decades of witness accounts, geopolitics and historian work.

I generally care more about how opinions are formed than what those opinions are. I also hate the anti-intellectual assumptions that what is bad looks bad, what looks bad is bad, and conversely that what looks good is good. You find this any time people talk about how nice killers were. My point was that if you wait for things to look bad before you question them, you will never question anything. But this last paragraph is just rambling and has nothing to do with your well written reply.

I am at a point where i block people talking about specific issues i already know about. I already know it's bad, either tell me how i can help or leave me out of it.

"It becomes evident that the parade was a carefully choreographed spectacle, designed to showcase the Soviet Union’s ideology and power to the world."

Ah yes, everyone known that in a TRUE democracy parades are spontaneously occurring events, self organizing to show the country's weaknesses and the population's biases.

Seriously tho, what does this mean, has anyone ever been to a parade and concluded it was neither coreographed, planned, or meant give a positive image ?

How do you determine people's enthusiasm is planned and orchestrated by looking at them ?

Are all parades proof the country is actually the torture Truman show or just the countries you're being payed to spy on ?

Why would a someone make a company where the business plan is "we have less margins" ? why would the rest of the industry, including artists choose the "make the same event for less profits" company where Ticketmaster gets all the blame ?

The Ticketmaster situation sucks for customers but its a blessing for the rest of the industry, why would anyone want it to change ?

Interesting how the "groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute" cannot rollout due to privacy laws

So there are 4 versions (2 models with 2 modes): Flash non thinking, Flash thinking, Pro non thinking, Pro thinking,

Are there comparisons between Pro non thinking and Flash thinking ? i don't really get the use case for Flash thinking and Pro non thinking

can you build a single .exe standalone app or standalone installer ? i only see folders or .exes relying on buind in the same folder is the archive
