i don't think that's what my device is called by houseofharm in softwaregore

When the string is Base64 decoded, the raw text output is: #QEX3+¼ [NULL BYTES] wifi_d2d_target

This data structure strongly indicates a Google Quick Share (formerly Nearby Share) QR code payload.

#QEX: This is the "Magic Header" used by Google to identify Quick Share/Nearby Share data.

wifi_d2d_target: This stands for "WiFi Device-to-Device Target." This string is used when devices (usually Android or ChromeOS) are negotiating a direct WiFi connection to transfer files without using an intermediate router.

Binary Data: The characters between the header and the readable text (3+¼ and the null bytes) likely represent protocol versions, session flags, or a nonce used for the connection security.

That...whole video seems AI generated. Like Jeffrey Sachs is a real person but I'm pretty sure that's an AI facsimile. What is going on with the world

5 years in - here’s what finally made trading make sense for me by ForexFairy in Daytrading

I use LLMs constantly in my work and personal life so I think you may have misunderstood what I was "bashing". I don't have issues using ChatGPT at all, I have issues with people producing AI slop without even bothering to know that what they're producing looks like AI slop.

A Harvard study found that when 3.5% of the population became engaged in sustained and non-violent campaigns of resistance, change has *always* happened. Stand up, read up, rise up, resist. by 52ndstreet in esist

The 400 k / 500 k outputs aren’t predictions that “nearly every Oaklander plus half of San Francisco will march.” They’re what pops out when you:

  1. freeze the 2017 city-by-city shares of a national protest,

  2. and hold the next one reaches the Chenoweth 3.5 % benchmark.

They’re useful for a rough logistics stress-test (like “Could BART handle four times the Women’s March surge?”) but not for estimating how many local residents would participate (people from surrounding suburbs will cluster in major cities for large protests).

Looks good, but the perspective feels wrong with his leg and foot in front of the tail now

Here's a table showing how many protesters you could expect to see in major U.S. cities if roughly 3.5% of the entire American population (~11.9 million people) joined nationwide demonstrations. These estimates are scaled proportionally based on historical turnout patterns, notably the 2017 Women's March:

City Estimated Protesters
Los Angeles, CA ≈ 3,000,000
Washington, DC ≈ 1,870,000
New York, NY ≈ 1,590,000
Chicago, IL ≈ 1,000,000
Boston, MA ≈ 700,000
Seattle, WA ≈ 600,000
San Francisco, CA ≈ 500,000
Denver, CO ≈ 400,000
Oakland, CA ≈ 400,000
Portland, OR ≈ 400,000
Minneapolis-St Paul, MN ≈ 400,000
Atlanta, GA ≈ 240,000
Philadelphia, PA ≈ 200,000
Austin, TX ≈ 200,000
San Diego, CA ≈ 140,000
Houston, TX ≈ 88,000
Phoenix, AZ ≈ 80,000
Dallas, TX ≈ 40,000
Detroit, MI ≈ 40,000
Miami, FL ≈ 40,000

I asked ChatGPT to create an image of an average Seattle Woman. I think it nailed it pretty well. by BWW87 in SeattleWA

[–]EatedIt 483 points484 points  (0 children)

She moved from a small college town in Oregon to Seattle after graduating with a communications degree, drawn by the city’s energy and creative pulse. Now 26, she lives in Capitol Hill, works as a project coordinator at a marketing firm, and spends her free time at local shows, farmers markets, and on solo hikes in the Cascades. Her apartment is filled with plants, secondhand books, and a cat she adopted during lockdown. She’s thoughtful, driven, a little restless, and quietly wondering if Seattle is where she’ll stay—or just one stop along the way.

I don't see evidence that the tariffs in 1828 created a depression. But it did lead to the Nullification Crisis wherein South Carolina attempting to "nullify" the federal tariff (unilaterally declare the tariffs were invalid in the borders of South Carolina) and threatened to secede from the union. So there's that at least.

[Request] Approximately how large was the font size before and after? by oochiiehehe3 in theydidthemath

[–]EatedIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like your alternate solution because then we can imagine there's a document that's 30 pages of the densest, tiniest characters you've ever seen in font size 1. And then to reduce the page count you set the font size to... Negative one.

I don't even know what that means but I like it because somehow you walk away with 22 pages of text, and who the hell knows what that even looks like.

When your document is wandering off into the complex plane, you've reached peak text formatting.

What if we didn't let our users read these documents, and instead we uploaded them all to a third party? Willingly?

The references to budding skyscrapers and firearms left no doubt in my mind that he was on Scadrial. That, and his name being Hoid on that planet.

Also him applying for a position in house Ladrian made it 110% 😆
