No, there are tools like “hex editors” that allow to edit a file in a more controlled way. I don’t think opening a binary file in notepad would do anything good to that file…

Oh, gosh. Details, please!

Well, a software (I.e. a. exe file) is a long list of numbers. Some are commands like “do something when the user clicks there”, some are data, like text on a button.

If you are very familiar with those intricacies, you can change a few bytes here or there to change what the program does.

Just like Linux 20 years ago.

And those 10kAh will last how long on that system?

Just as a friend said about him: “Möge ihn der Blitz beim Scheissen treffen!”, literally “May lightning hit him while he is shitting!”.

When I was still in school, I was the computer nerd. A doctor in town, who’s son was in my class, asked me to fix an annoyance he had with a software he used. He offered a generous compensation. It took me less than an hour to analyze and patch the program on the binary level. On a per hour base, I earned more money than he normally did…

Neil Gaiman. I’m afraid there won’t be a third season of Good Omens.

It is better for rasterized images that are not photos. In most cases, SVG is better for drawings as such. As in “don’t even start this raszerizing shit”.

There are photos, where JPG is way better. On the other hand, I often use SVG for drawings, it simply scales way better. PNG is somewhere in the middle.

Nope. Germany.

Luckily, my country can’t do that. I can relinquish citizenship, but the government can’t remove it.

More B=softer=darker, but also losing sharpness faster

More H=harder=lighter, but keeps its point longer.

I’ve got a range of pencils from 4B to 6H. Every pencil hardness has its use.

Being catholic, I never heard bigger bullshit in my life. Is that an American thing?

The data you produce is copyrighted by you, so it already has a very strong protection. The problem is that AI companies care shit about the law, and you’ll have to sue them in order to even get their attention. Good luck with that as a single, private person, when even bigwigs like Disney have problems here.

So now we know it is possible, it is time to replicate that success worldwide.

They are spreading Putins talking points, so it is not surprising that the pipeline works in the other direction, too.

It’s one of the American Nazi symbols the US failed to ban.

persuing planning to steal

Of course it is a shitty and shady deal. What did you expect from a government-backed deal?
