> To validate the quality of the algorithms at scale, their performance was evaluated by collecting 2.5 million pairs of high-resolution infrared iris images from 303 different subjects. These subjects represent diversity across a range of characteristics, including eye color, skin tone, ethnicity, age, presence of makeup and eye disease or defects.
> It is important to note that many health conditions, like cataracts to a certain degree, do not impede iris biometrics. Already today, iris biometrics surpass the inclusivity of other PoP verification alternatives like official IDs since less than 50% of the global population has digitally verifiable identities. However, if the proof of personhood mechanism becomes essential for society, it is important that eventually every single person can verify if they want to. Although not currently established, there could be specialized verification centers to facilitate alternative means of verification for individuals with eye conditions, via e.g. facial biometrics. The introduction of alternative means of verification for World ID could potentially create loopholes.
Ah so this is why my hobby open-source project of 6+ years has been getting a surge in traffic :) https://github.com/opendnd
Totally unrelated to this of course, but very cool to see all the same. The OGL has been a cornerstone of innovation in this space and without it a lot of us would be dead in the water.
Thank you for the suggestion, I'll add some example outputs. Perhaps something like asciinema may be useful. I used to have some animated gifs of a recorded terminal session but I removed it as so many changes were happening it got outdated fast.
This is something I did for our DnD group, the map was created collectively in a photo editing tool and then split up with MapTiler (https://www.maptiler.com/) which generates HTML/CSS/JS you can throw up on a server I have here: http://maps.opendnd.org/ao/. The main issues I found are some skewing from the original map and some pretty bad pixelation when you get to some of the lower levels. That could all be remedied with a better vector graphic for the map -- something to work on in the future.
Great points, I'd be happy to give some background. I originally started working on the project just for our DnD group about 5 years ago. At that time there weren't many other projects available or if so I wasn't aware of them. It was mostly Donjon and a few others that were available and none were built as individual packages that could be composed together and weren't open source. The GitHub org you see now is actually already a merger of existing efforts that were started by other developers who were working on a character sheet generator. The opendnd repo was only started recently as the tools have grown over the years and needed a sort of all-encompassing project.
That being said, I'm aware that other projects are out there now that have similar goals -- some further along than us as it's mostly been me working on it in my free time. However, I would say that our design decision is pretty different from the others in that each component is designed to be a separate standalone tool that can be used as a component to build other things. Because the end goal is so ambitious I think this design decision is critical if the project is ever to get close to achieving that goal. If I had to summarize in one sentence what we're trying to achieve, it's kind of a Dwarf Fortress level of detail but fully open source and fully interconnected components.
Awesome, contributors would be greatly appreciated :) I'm still working on writing up the main roadmap (it's a very ambitious project) to make it easier for new contributors. Currently, it'll be mostly focused around 5e although I'd love to add support for other editions as well. Especially for things that are highly useful to have support for like character sheets. But I see other things like supporting older versions of the generators described in the DMG will be a bit more difficult to do as it would require more fundamental changes to the code.
Very cool, I especially like that it’s faithful to the DMG. I saw the mention of Donjon, I’ve used the Donjon tools for years and have always loved using them but felt the lack of persistence and interconnectedness was missing.
It’s why I’ve been working on something similar over the past few years and dungeon generating is definitely on the roadmap. It’s called OpenDnD and it’s attempting to be a complete set of open source DM and player tools. The first 5 tools are fairly useable but very much still beta. For those interested, the code’s up on GitHub: https://github.com/opendnd/opendnd.
It's not all bad for them, I found out about threes because of 2048 and came to the conclusion myself that threes was a better game and decided to pay for it.
