So one arm of Google is making the slop and the other is trying to avoid it? Neat.

My general attitude is similar to yours. Let OP figure out that the reporting and blocking is basically just creating more noise that has to gets filtered out and bot supply is basically infinite.

“It’s a learning experience.”

I also don’t think it’s morally right to isolate a single nation, since they were all a single country

They were all Russian, so fuck 'em? That statement is confusing, to say the least.

Good luck with that, I suppose. Botnets can have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of infected hosts that will endlessly scan everything on the interwebs. Many of those infected hosts are behind NAT’s and your abuse form would be the equivalent of reporting an entire region for a single scan.

But hey! Change the world, amirite?

That comment is pure gold and I am archiving it for future use.

I don’t want to go so far as to tell you how to think, but as long as we are talking about how to visualize IP addresses, you may want to check out subnets and subnet masking.

The notation of IP addresses starts to make sense when you think about the early days of TCP/IP when all IP addresses were public and NAT’ing wasn’t really required yet. Basically, there needed to be ways for networks to filter traffic by IP blocks that were applicable. (It was [in part] a precursor to collision avoidance, but absolutely not the full story.) We still use addressing and masking today, but it’s more obvious when it’s local. (Like in data centers, where it’s super practical to mask off a block of addresses for a row or rack of servers.)

To your point, yeah. IP addresses are probably more comparable to the Dewey Decimal System rather than actual numbers and thinking of them as strings is probably easier.

255

Small correction, but an important one: 0 is a number too.

In terms of IP masking and broadcast addresses, the max is 255.255.255.255

For those who are still confused, ping works with 32 bit unsigned integers. While there certainly are more uses, it’s a much more convenient method for storing IP address in a database as it’s easier to sort and index than 4 numbers separated by 4 periods

Look for basic errors. All of the R’s seem to have similar issues but aren’t quite the same. An example:

This same problem happens across more of the text.

The pull cord for a lamp should end at a lamp, not a circle on the ceiling. While it could be replicated with a regular camera, the string shouldn’t blend into the rest of the picture.

And yeah, AI slop sucks ass.

Wrong community for AI slop.

I looked into that and the only question I really have is how geographically distributed the samples were. Other than that, It was an oversampled study, so <50% of the people were the control, of sorts. I don’t fully understand how the sampling worked, but there is a substantial chart at the bottom of the study that shows the full distribution of responses. Even with under 1000 people, it seems legit.

There is a place for that. It’s called 4chan.

Well, the administration supposedly made some kind of minerals deal to continue to support Ukraine. (It was just bullshit PR for Trump “making deals”.)

Still, I doubt any partner was surprised by this as the Trump administration is pointlessly unpredictable.

In this study, we conducted a survey (n = 742) including a representative U.S. sample and an oversample of gender minorities, racial minorities, and disabled individuals to examine how demographic factors shape AI attitudes.

I have a Zoom L12 for mixing/recording my synthesizers, PC system sound and additional PC audio interface. I got it used for $500.

You can get super cheap mixers as well, but the quality will probably be hit-or-miss. (Proper grounding and interference being the biggest issues.) I got lucky with a $40 4 channel mixer that I use when running too many synths and just need to route sound somehow.

It been 30 mins for ads and trailers for as long as I can remember and I am in my 40’s.
