anyway I will be in NYC 24th Feb to 5th Mar
also despite the below I'm still insane enough to squeeze a weekend trip to SF in there (I've never been!) so I will probably be there too

Cats like playing with yarn a lot. Humans, not as much. But the difference is not in psychology, but in size; you just need to scale the object up in proportion.
Try soft tape measure instead.

I don't think it's quite at the "tipping point", people keep calling that early, but eventually it's possible for it to start spiraling down as the best remaining users (& there are some) leave & then drive more abandonment in a cycle?
But with the current issues, a slow burn feels right?
Not sure

![wikipedia article:
Seam carving (or liquid rescaling) is an algorithm for content-aware image resizing, developed by Shai Avidan, of Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), and Ariel Shamir, of the Interdisciplinary Center and MERL. It functions by establishing a number of seams (paths of least importance) in an image and automatically removes seams to reduce image size or inserts seams to extend it. Seam carving also allows manually defining areas in which pixels may not be modified, and features the ability to remove whole objects from photographs.
The purpose of the algorithm is image retargeting, which is the problem of displaying images without distortion on media of various sizes (cell phones, projection screens) using document standards, like HTML, that already support dynamic changes in page layout and text but not images.[1]
Image Retargeting was invented by Vidya Setlur, Saeko Takage, Ramesh Raskar, Michael Gleicher and Bruce Gooch in 2005.[2] The work by Setlur et al. won the 10-year impact award in 2015[where?].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n3lcb3cjaxwp2iffjelrts7i/bafkreigl5smsflfddwameot7zwsdxdqzc2u27ckwxqrittumxdfatnz4dq@jpeg)

information request:
I'm considering visiting NYC in late Feb, but I'm kind of paranoid about the border:
how likely am I going to get denied entry (or worse) if I hold a nominally valid visa, but had the sex marker changed on it in the past? (i.e. they know)

'all the other ai labs want you to cower in fear at their torment nexus' well put
regarding the first question once you get your mind out of the gutter you'll realize claude has the best branding out of all the llms. the hand-drawn scribbly gvc style makes using it a lot less intimidating, different from how all the other ai labs want you to cower in fear at their torment nexus.

When I learned of the logarithmic time perception theory when I was like 10, I got quite scared.
Now that I'm in my mid-20s I can confidently say that it's fortunately unrelatable

Spending Christmas at home and having lots of discussions with my dad. Both of us extol 'liberalism', but we could not differ more in online anonymity. He finds it objectionable that people can post nonsense anonymously. While for me that defines liberty in the 21st century

Just because a workaround exists now, doesn't mean that it will continue to exist – often one can already clearly imagine how a determined state or platform owner could close all reasonable workarounds if it came to it
