That’s likely. In the article you can see the flag being tagged as a plate with a confidence score way below most minimums. That means the detection model itself is pretty sure it’s not looking at a license plate but Flock is still keeping that patch tagged. Maybe there are legitimate real life reasons for accepting such low confidence scores, but I’m skeptical about that.

I watched the extended look. There was a very clearly enunciated “what the fuck” about 18 seconds into the video, so there’s that. I guess that’s not enough or something?

I mean if you watch the opening scene of a movie and then stop, have you watched it?

Oh it is serious. That genuinely is the level of quality at the late stage of that man’s career. His movies were mind bogglingly bad. He was probably making them only to launder money.

Well there actually was this one DC “hero” called Dogwelder who, well, welded dogs to people’s faces. With a welder that looked suspiciously like a plasma cutter. Maybe Batman teamed up with him.

This scene makes me irrationally angry. It is truly one of the worst, laziest “just flail your arms at each other” choreographies out there. It’s not the only one of that kind of lazy movie fighting, but this one bothers me extra with how it doubles down on laziness with that chair. The dudes never even try to get close enough to hit the other. Someone like Jackie Chan would have found a way to creatively use that chair and turn it into an interesting concept for a fight that’s enjoyable to watch but that fat fuck is just sitting there doing nothing. That fucking Ponytail Michelin Man. His music makes me wanna pour acid into my ears too.

Archimedes, no!

Last week I almost missed my train because of windows update.

Every day my hatred for Windows, well Microsoft as a whole really, grows. Every time I launch the almost incomprehensibly bad piece of shit that is Outlook, every time I have to restart explorer.exe because of some dumb bug that I remember from Windows 7, every time I try to mount a network share that has the same hostname as an already mounted one, every time the start bar launches Edge (not my default browser) to look something up on Bing (not my default search engine) despite my having turned that feature off, every time I have to dive into some settings to disable yet another copilot button, my desire to break into Satya Nutella’s home when he’s on vacation and spill old milk all over his furniture increases by a noticeable degree.

I thought I knew what the word bias meant but I’m not so sure anymore.

I’m sure the people who are looking for a relatively cheap but well built browser machine that can run forever on a single charge are absolutely devastated to hear they won’t be able to run the latest AAAAA titles on it.

In the legendary sci-fi book called Hyperion, one of the characters has a house where each room is on a different planet. That’s one of the things I remember most vividly from reading that book. I thought it was so cool.

You can. Henry Ford didn’t exterminate them, he just mass produced an alternative.

As far as I know it’s dangerous play, because you’d be making it impossible for anyone to challenge the ball without things getting dangerous. You’re supposed to defend the ball by using your athleticism to fend off your opponents, not by using medieval battlefield tactics to force a siege.

Gnome is more stable in my experience. The base Gnome without any extensions is rock solid and just works without a hitch. Problem is that it’s bland as hell and not very practical. Most of the popular extensions to make the DE are also pretty solid and reliable, as gnome’s extension API doesn’t really allow them to break anything in any spectacular way. Plasma allows better and more powerful extensions, but they also tend to have a bigger effect on the DE’s stability.

That said, I fucking hate how Gnome devs handle the extension API. Every update to Gnome disables all the extensions even if there’s no breaking changes that would cause them to stop working. You gotta either manually edit their manifest files to trick Gnome into thinking they’ve been updated to the latest DE version, or you gotta wait for the devs to update. Every now and then they do release a breaking change that does break things too, and things get annoying. I used to maintain a relatively popular-ish, very simple Gnome extension. But eventually I got sick and abandoned because nobody’s got time to deal with Gnome’s extension API. I had to rewrite some basic shit for no good reason one too many times.

I used to think I was just bad at the game and was doing something wrong because no way she could the that useless while all the other party members are basically gods unto themselves. Turns out she really is shit and you just have to pay the skeleton man to make her good.

What else would one drop to use the toilet?
