  • What's your favourite historical photo and why?

  • True, ML and such fell under the umbrella term of AI before, but I feel that with most people using it mostly for LLMs (or things like diffusion models, etc.) right now, it has kinda lost that meaning to some extent...

  • Had some conversation with another commenter, I agree with you now. Cheers

  • Thanks for sharing that paper. I was indeed missing that information and now agree with your earlier statement.

    I think them using magnetohydrodynamical black hole models as a base for the ML is a better approach than standard CLEAN though that the Japanese team used. However, both "only" approach reality.

  • This is one team that disagrees out of many that agree.

    To explain what you are seeing. The above image is the inverse Fourier transform (FT) of different frequencies of sinus waves that compose an image.

    The very large baseline interferometer (VLBI) applied in the event horizon telescope (EHT) is using different telescopes all over the world, in a technique called interferometry, to achieve high enough resolutions to observe different frequencies in Fourier space that make up an image. If you observe all, you can recreate the full image perfectly. They did not, they observed for a long time and thus got a hefty amount of these "spatial" frequencies. Then they use techniques that limit the image to physical reality (e.g. no negative intensities/fluxes) and clean it from artefacts. Then transform it to image space (via the inverse FT)

    Thereby, they get an actual image that approximates reality. There is no AI used at all. The researchers from Japan argued for different approach to the data, getting a slightly different inclination in that image. This may well be as the data is still too few to 100 % determine the shape, but looks more to me like they chose very different assumptions (which many other researchers do not agree with).

    Edit: They did use ML for simulations to compare their sampling of the Fourier space to.

  • What do you mean AI? This is an interferometric Image reconstructed from information of the very large baseline interferometer (VLBI).

    Edit: Although I wouldn't call it AI, they used machine learning (ML) with simulations in their image reconstruction, so I agree

  • With heroic, GOG games work flawlessly, you can use both proton and wine with it. Also supports Epic Games and other games from launchers.

    Native GOG launcher on Linux would be nice, too though

  • What is this colour?

  • A hue of orange

  • Nitpick, oder than the federal republic of Germany yes, older than the German Empire founded in 1870, no

  • The US military is using the white supremacist Jerusalem Cross on its propaganda

    Jump

  • Similar to the original meaning of this post. Many countries forbid people to enter the military and similar office, if they are known to hold extreme believes (e.g. extreme right wing rhetoric has been used by them or such). Not always foolproof though

  • I think you are correct as it is now. And I do agree, as it is right now it is not practical to be completely secular for people holding these offices.

    However, ideally, these groups would not need the recognition in this way as they ought to already have it otherwise and understanding that at some places some things are limited, should not discourage them to believe in what they want.

  • Japan: Hundreds get car driving licences suspended for drink cycling

    Jump

  • The distinction you make is fair. What I meant by active is as you describe "operating a vehicle", pedestrians are active participants as well, but you arguably are more likely to cause harm when misusing vehicles than on foot.

    I was generally speaking about cities where most of these fines/sentences happend. In rural areas it is harder in many countries, although bare extreme mountainous parts, Japan is generally OK here as well.

    Though I believe in these parts you are not only less likely to cause harm when drunk driving + police is less likely to stop you as well.

    Generally speaking, it is always possible to either plan well enough to be able not to operate a vehicle drunk, or to simply don't drink if the former isn't possible. Don't you agree?

  • I gave Germany as an example, but this is the case for many countries. Japan, Germany, UK, some regions of Australia, etc.

  • Yes I see that problem and in the best case it would not be renouncing their beliefs not to wear something where it is not appropriate, but there are many other beliefs or reasons where one is excluded from official office/army, etc.

  • I would say ideally not as they represent the state and thus should not wear iconography of any sort for secular states.

    I also know that this might not be exactly practial in reality

  • Not really, same in Germany if you are generally drunk in traffic (except by foot or public transport, i.e. an active participant) the same sober laws apply. So the incentive is not to do that when drunk. Also believe me when you lose your driving license completely you will care if you need it, and even if you don't, fines hurt, too.

    Japan is even harsher as you can go to prison directly, and if you are in their court system once (that is after only a fine or simple suspension) due to customs and cultural norms you will be found guilty with a chance of about 99 % (the Japanese court system is notoriously bad).

    Alternatives to escalating by using a car can bet walking or taking the metro, the latter is easily possible in Japan, for instance. When the trains don't run there are plenty cheap manga cafes or capsule hotels.

  • I agree, though I am of the opinion that in secular states (at least at home and in peace time) government officials (including the army) should not wear any religious iconography

  • I think it is very weird to have that tattooed or on any military gear. Secularism and such, but that is the heraldry of the former Kingdom of Jerusalem. Albeit being the result of crusades, I don't think it is supremacist by itself?

    Edit: Also the flag of the country of Georgia. Going by this, the US military either serves in the Georgian army as of recent or they confused theirs with the country again?

    Edit#2: Quick wikipedia, also apparently still the symbol of the Latin patriarchate of Jerusalem nowadays
