The concern around deep fakes is that they could be used to trick people, fair enough, but apparently tricking people doesn’t require much, if any, believably. Throughout history up to today people are tricked by the most obvious untruths with disastrous consequences on large scales.
It works quite well, but you need a host that isn’t blocked, and they tend to block AWS IPs, so you have to change the IP every now and then. For browsing SwitchyOmega works well with ssh.
My AT&T iPhone wasn’t blocked when roaming in China, it seems they make exceptions for foreign phones. They’re censors are very clever at knowing where the limits are.
It’s not the same, Comcast and other ISPs don’t tamper with HTTPS, and if they break the HTTPS connection then it’s a clearer problem for the ISP to troubleshoot than corruption.
Sorry I don’t understand what double wrapping has to do with it, or why you’d ever do that.
Yet it’s actually not simpler for the user, since their transfer can then be tampered with either by accident or intentionally leaving the user with a broken download and then what do they do? A redownlaod from a different mirror makes no difference.
That’s my core understanding too, the model is essential and that not only rubs statisticians the wrong way but also the current luminaries in deep learning get visibly irritated by that too. The irony is that JP was very successful with statistics having invented Bayesian Networks, and now has moved on.
It’s satstics applied to cultural anthropology in its current form, it doesn’t have a hard underpinning and changes from culture to culture. So it’s just relative opinions most of the time.
> Why can we definitively say that? Because psychology often does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability.
The meta issue here is that they didn’t have a plan to then validate the changes afterwards. And Grab’s contractors being from India know that streets can be unpredictable and change since it’s assuredly the same for them too and not just a quirk in Thailand. It’s an astonishing disconnect from reality based on western standards of paying attention, but I think this is pretty normal in SE Asia and causes a lot of problems. Hopefully they’ll be able to shed these habits at some point.
