Of course, another option is for people to dramatically curb their use of social media, or at a minimum, regularly delete posts after a set time threshold. If LLMs' success in deanonymizing people improves, the researchers warn, governments could use the techniques to unmask online critics, corporations could assemble customer profiles for "hyper-targeted advertising," and attackers could build profiles of targets at scale to launch highly personalized social engineering scams.

To my mind this is key, if you are engaging in high risk behavior that requires you to post pseudonymously or anonymously online do not have an online presence, especially social media, that is linked to your real identity. This prevents any breadcrumb trails of slip ups and has always been true.

Are you kidding this is hilarious I love it sososmuch

Hey All, I made a header only C++ library (MIT) where line of code inits, then you can start writing to pixels on the screen.

I call it thirteen.h, inspired by the simplicity of the 13h days.

Examples include a mandelbrot viewer and a playable mine sweeper game.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

More work on procedural lens flares in #Godot.

If you want to have a look at the (still very messy!) code: github.com/kb173/godot-...

Outline of how it works:
1. Clip bright spots from the rendered image
2. Warp these spots to create ghosts and a halo
3. Blur
4. Overlay based on a dirt texture

Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups The Trump administration is targeting climate organizations that received a Biden-era grant.

Wait, what the fuck?

These orgs applied for and received grants from the government, and now, because this administration chooses to pretend climate change doesn’t exist, they’re going to be accused of FRAUD? For work already done and paid for as the government directed?

Killing off our research facilities and talent pipelines is perhaps the biggest, dumbest self-own in American history.

The Lite version does not use templates, and is compatible with FXC or other compilers that don't support templates and operator overloads.

Like just really. If it were already the case science agreed with the transphobes then the transphobes would not need to fundamentally change the way science is funded in the US and use monetary threats to force the (published) science to start agreeing with them. This is all very unsubtle.

So, I have about a 100GB of god of war ragnarok captures. Let's to that livepost study shall we ? I'm going too start with a cine character shot. To see how the frame is build. W'll check some specific effects (like snow) later.

I hope people see how truly alarming this is:

Dreams on a Pillow, the Palestinian video game about the 1948 Nakba, surpassed its funding goal It’s follow-up to the award-winning Liyla and the Shadows of War

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories.

I actually shipped weird neural network based texture compression on Midnight Suns for gen 8 consoles; it's used on the sarcophagus textures. What Nvidia has published is different, it feels to me like palletized textures with parametrized palettes. I think it should work. 🤷🏻‍♂️
