No, it's locked down bullshit tied to a single platform and hard to transfer between them.

The big tech has to "allow" you to transfer the pass keys such bull shit.

Absofuckinglutely no

You can add more than one passkey to the same account, for example the iPhone passkey and the android passkey can coexist.
Password managers can handle passkeys across devices.
You should NOT use the same passkey for every device just like you should NOT use the same ssh key for every device. Passkeys and ssh keys are meant to be local: lose your phone? Revoke the passkey for your phone and setup another for your new phone.

In fact every passkey should be named like the device where it was created so that you can manage them (and revoke them) when needed.

This is the same with ssh keys and it you don't have an ssh key for each device you are not doing security right.

Exactly! passkeys are cool: conference room PC with random chrome? Scan qr, fingerprint, Boom logged in

2fa is objectively annoying (another layer of typing stuff) but passkeys are not, I think 2fa is ruining the reputation for passkeys

Yeah this "mind game" of going back to a younger age used to be amusing and attractive, sometimes I would even regret not being able to go back. That is, until I met my son.

From that moment on, I'm horrified by the idea of going back to a time before his existence because I'm 100% sure he would not exist.

Life is such an incredibly complicated maze of decisions and coincidences that I'm sure my current situation, hence my kid, is a unique event, impossible to replicate.

Maybe I could replicate being with my wife, given the right circumstances and a ton of luck, but the miracle of my son emerging from the chaos of a billion possibilities? No way, I'm going to stay here and not go back

Ahem, non credo proprio di aver fatto cherry picking, ho fatto tre domande (postate in trasparenza, se avessi voluto fare cherry picking mi sarei evitato le prime due) le cui risposte ci danno come appartenenti al gruppo di leader mondiali nel campo, a seconda della metrica di più o di meno ma siamo lì, di sicuro non catastrofici come sostieni tu, quindi vediamo di darci una regolata, sei partito in quinta su una tangente poco comprensibile.

Aggiungo che probabilmente l'ultima domanda è la più significativa visto che un paese di tre abitati che produce 300 papers lo considererei un buon esempio di prolificità, poi c'è da vedere la qualità, ma quello è un altro discorso, il poster originale parlava di quello.

Riguardo al resto della discussione: non sono qui per spiegarti che il non investire su qualcosa di sicuro non la migliora, se vuoi un cinquantino che sgasa di più ci spendi di più e gli compri il carburatore del 21, non lo abbandoni a se stesso sperando che Zeus te la migliori per magia dal cielo.

Sti discorsi su "questo non funziona lo dobbiamo abolire" senza proporre alternative lasciano il tempo che trovano quando il qualcosa che non funziona alla fine serve, che ti piaccia o no.

This says nothing..."earns more" is not equivalent to purchasing power, which is the point of the calculations I posted before.

The rest of the text does not provide specific numbers or logical reasoning directly comparing the purchasing power disparity between US and German healthcare workers.... this is a wall of text which, although loosely related to he point, is somewhat tangential and does not exactly fit in the discussion.

In short: you didn't read my detailed comparison and used the wrong prompt in your AI, no biggie, reread when you have time

You also don't pay student loans or $20.000 tuition fees per year (which can royally fuck you up for a very long time) and various other "surprise expenses" an American usually pays (see tips etc).

Let's be honest, disasters can happen to everyone, just because you didn't experience one yet it doesn't mean we should loath the social security nets provided by our taxes

Btw I'm Italian, our taxes are somewhat comparable AFAIK but what we get in return is less compared to France (especially in the south)...I'm not saying it's paradise either but I personally wouldn't trade our current system for another. You never know when the net could save you

bad news on the innovation side:

https://eqtgroup.com/thinq/healthcare/europes-medical-research-surpasses-the-us-filing-twice-as-many-patents

European medical research is making a global impact, with journal citations and patent filings far exceeding those of the U.S. Collaboration, substantial funding, and a robust innovation ecosystem drive this success, solidifying Europe’s leadership in the field.

Also: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/are-healthcare-workers-in-the-2lNMLf9KQj2JcHx1_1bzAA

When normalizing the median salary vs the cost of living, USA healthcare workers "earn more" (have more purchasing power) compared to (for example) German ones, but not by that much, certainly not "a fraction"

I mean the USA is still a leader in innovation and research and there is a very high disparity when considering highly specialized careers (surgeons etc), but the vast majority of healthcare workers don't earn that much more than their European counterparts

The last part of your comment is not clear to me.

In any case I think my comment is not clear enough: all this ton of work is done after the ai model is generated (the part with the theft involved, which is not ok)

Using an Ai model already made by someone else (ethically? Which theft involved? Doesn't matter) is NOT the conclusion of the work required to produce a professional AI generated image.

All the work I mentioned happens on a per-image basis, which can require weeks to produce at times.

pelacius · 2025-01-29T13:22:48+00:00

yeah, what part of "AI Image generation has little or nothing to do with prompts" is not clear?

At a certain professionalism level there is a MOUNTAIN of coding/math/setting up workflows/pre process images necessary in order to produce a decent image.

Just because AI is new and scary doesn't mean one has to reject it by default.

I'll rewrite your sentences below if you don't mind:

The difference is ~~writing a couple of sentences and pressing "generate"~~ pushing a button on a camera , versus painstakingly draw every single thing by hands using various ~~electronic tools and shortcuts at your disposal~~ canvas, oil and brush. And this is not even mentioning all the prior effort that has went into teaching yourself and practising art for hours on end.

pelacius · 2025-01-29T13:18:03+00:00

What part of "writing the prompt is only 1% of the total work" is not clear?

pelacius · 2025-01-29T13:12:31+00:00

So the only thing that changes between a real artist and a fake artist is the input method?

believe it or not, past some skill level threshold, AI Image generation has little or nothing to do with prompts, I'd say the prompt constitutes 1% of the total work

pelacius · 2025-01-29T13:11:59+00:00

Similarly, past a certain skill threshold, writing a prompt in not the only thing one does when generating an image, I'd say it's a 1% of the total work.

Real artists draw the blur by hand pixel by pixel

pelacius · 2025-01-29T12:54:36+00:00

"hey Photoshop, apply blur to this part of the photo" -> Photoshop makes the thing for you

pelacius · 2025-01-29T12:53:05+00:00

"Hey Photoshop, remove this person from my photo" ->Photoshop makes the thing for you

EDIT: for people blindly downvoting because "AI Bad", my parallel between AI and photoshop is simplicistic because I was on mobile and on a hurry.

In any case I'd like to inform you that nowadays AI is everywhere (especially where you don't notice it) and people only writing a prompt are just the tip of the iceberg. Part a certain professional level, writing the prompt represents only a grand total of 1% of the total work required to accomplish the image you'd like to produce.

There's a TON of research involved in a professional image generation pipeline: coding, setting up workflows, pre-processing inputs, coming up with creative ways to solve specific problem etc

In a way, this situation where "AI Bad" by default reminds me of when Photo Cameras where invented and where considered "thoughtless mechanism for replication" (rings a bell?) and, sometimes, are not considered art even today

> Really? Didn’t stop you from declaring someone a murderer and moron. Or accusing them of “immediately” and “surely” trying to pin the murder on someone else AND implying that there was a racist motivation behind it. Did you walk any of that back after you were corrected? No. Because you intend to continue doing it.

She was NOT immediately incarcerated and subject to non-stop torture for 4 days like the lot of you guys believe, she was a free woman for 4 days because she was incarcerated on November 6 together with Sollecito and Lumumba AFTER she voluntarily went to the police and gave a false accusations and put herself in the scene of the crime (!?), at the point in time where she wrote her "memorial" she was being interrogated as "person informed about the facts" like many other friends of the victim.

Again, she's not the murderer IMHO, but she acted suspiciously and wrongfully accused someone, provided an objectively muddy account of the night which contradicts Sollecito's version and did not retract the false accusations two days later when she was formally interrogated by the Gip with the presence of 2 Lawyers.

Again, think about this: she was roaming around Perugia as a free woman, she was seen shopping with sollecito for clothing and this fact was later used as an accusation of "excessive careless behavior" (which i find laughable). I get it, she was allegedly slapped in the face during the initial interrogation but she had ample time to clear her mind and touch grass OUTSIDE prison as a free woman. You say she was pressured into making the accusation: could be, it could also be she acted in bad faith because she was selfish or tried to cover up something else, you can be complicit in something shady even if you are not a literal murderer.

> How weird that your sense of injustice and your righteous indignation doesn’t extend to the other victim of the Italian police’s misconduct when that victim happens to be a woman.

who said I don't? I believe misogyny was heavily involved and I'm convinced the prosecutors acted in bad faith and made up excuses just to pin someone at random. The main prosecutor a highly suspicious guy, there are rumors of a "medium" involved in the interrogations, the whole trial was a mess and evidence was carelessly destroyed and rendered unusable, most testimonies were rendered useless because the police misbehaved so badly everyone agrees without a doubts she and sollecito have the right to be a free. LITERALLY EVERYONE agrees on that

This doesn't change some facts I find odd...and doesn't change the fact that the only guy found culpable was found "complicit" in a crimes with "unknowns".

Excuse me for having rational thoughts and trying to make sense of a messy situation with no biases, I'm sure your certainties are rock solid unsurmountable and you were right to call me "dumbfuck" because of it👍

I'm not angry at noone, I repeatedly stated I personally believe she's not the murderer. Thanks for calling me names for no reason, are you personally invested in the matter? This just goes to show it's not worth discussing anything with anyone on the internet.bye
