I think this basically just tests how heavy chromosomes/DNA-strands are. By that you can see how long they are. The many lines on the side are the reference-ladder.

The clear lines in the second pic indicate a very clean sample of similar length DNA, while the smears in the first indicate some form of contamination.

Please no, don’t subsidize anything Java-Script. It will only make it less efficient.

Nah it’s more like: If she didn’t want people to jerk off thinking about her, she shouldn’t have worn such provocative clothing.

I honestly don’t think we should encourage uploading this many photos as private people, but that’s something else.

You don’t need consent to jerk off to someone’s photos. You do need consent to tell them about it. Creating images is a bit riskier, but if you make sure no one ever sees them, there is no actual harm done.

Interesting (wrong) assumption there buddy.

But why would I care how people think of me? If it influences their actions, we gonna start to have problems, tho.

Oh no, hanging the pictures on your wall is fucked.

The difference is if someone else can reasonably find out. If I tell someone that I think about them/someone else while masturbating, that is sexual harassment. If I have pictures on my wall and guests could see them, that’s sexual harassment.

If I just have an encrypted folder, not a problem.

It’s like the difference between thinking someone is ugly and saying it.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this?

Photoshop has existed for some time now, so creating fake nudes just became easier.

Also why would you care if someone jerks off to a photo you uploaded, regardless of potential nude edits. They can also just imagine you naked.

If you don’t want people to jerk off to your photos, don’t upload any. It happens with and without these apps.

But Instagram selling apps for it is kinda fucked, since it’s very anti-porn, but then sells apps for it (to children).

Interesting.

So it basically enables some more compiler magic. As an embedded guy I’ll stay away from it, since I like my code being translated a bit more directly, but maybe I’ll look into the generated code and see if I can apply some of the ideas for optimizations in the future.

I never looked into this, so I have some questions.

Isn’t the overhead of a new function every time going to slow it down? Like I know that LLVM has special instructions for Haskell-functions to reduce overhead, but there is still more overhead than with a branch, right? And if you don’t use Haskell, the overhead is pretty extensive, pushing all registers on the stack, calling new function, push buffer-overflow protection and eventual return and pop everything again. Plus all the other stuff (kinda language dependent).

I don’t understand what advantage is here, except for stuff where recursive makes sense due to being more dynamic.

Yea, this is a funny thing to think about.

You can jerk off to photos of people, you can imagine some wild things involving other people etc.

If you just create some deepfake porn to masturbate by yourself to, I don’t see a big problem with that.

The only issue I can find is, that due to neglect someone else sees it, or even hears about it.

The problem starts with sharing. Like it would be sexual harassment to tell people who you are masturbating to, especially sharing with the “actors” of your fantasies.

There is however another way this could go:

Everyone can now share nudes with way less risk.

If anyone leaks them, just go: “That’s a deepfake. This is obviously a targeted attack by the heathens of the internet, who are jealous of my pure and upstanding nature. For me only married missionary with lights out.”

Ok, but to be fair that landmark looks like a concrete brick.

Ah, ok.

On a separate note: Cloning giant sheep from poached ones sounds kinda like a supervillain and I now want to clone my own army of poached animals.

MareOfNights , 3 months ago to news in Montana man used animal tissue and testicles to breed 'giant' sheep for sale to hunting preserves

I don’t really understand why that is illegal considering that it’s pretty similar to what the meat industry does. Maybe there are some laws to protect against invasive species, but he didn’t want to free them. Maybe dealing with poachers? Maybe he just needed a license?

Well, right about online stuff. I would also have ridiculous standards if there were 10x more women than men. Just expand your social circle and eventually you’ll meet normal people XD
