They removed the 5 star system, WHICH FUCKING WORKED, and now... ads....

Even humans can't tell if something is sarcastic or not.

Not always.

I canceled my Netflix last year, and I am glad I did

But some neural networks are pretty good.

old netflix: Hey, we estimate this movie to be a 4.7 in your book, and it's a 4 or a 5, about 9/10 times. Now, "hey, this one has 99% chance of thumbs up!" and it's 1/3 chance that I hate it.

There was one paper I read in which the bot got a better solution rate than some humans on CAPTCHA. lol

some captchas are just stupid though

Dang, I had it bookmarked, but can't find it right now.

Well, not just that, there are good algorithms that can heighten contrast.

and I'm kinda sad that netflix is going this way, because black mirror is friggin genious

Things nobody could see become clearly visible.

For example, there is the Retinex algorithm by NASA.

I was using a simple implementation of it in the vapor wave script I wrote.

bloody hell, a good camera and a good algorithm is the most accurate lie detector outside of an FMRI scan

shitposting with NASA technolgy - that's what I call real shitposting

lie detector?

we haven't really made them muc better than a coin flip

I've heard that some of them have gotten quite good at non-psychopats

source pls, if you know a good approach

can't remember where

Here is an example run of the Retinex algorithm.

speaking of cleaning up images

I'm fucking dying, this is hilarious.

remember the story about the NSA handing out webcam covers?

I love trans men, they demonstrate everything a thinking person knows about the sexes.

Just remember, the U.S. gov't spent $1 billion on NOAA to predict the weather and were less accurate than the Farmer's Almanac which cost $15.

I don't understand what the pictures are supposed to be

*"C'mere snowflake! Time to learn about sacrifice!"* - Mat Best

What does the algorithm do

My vaporwave script also uses Retinex: https://gist.github.com/UndeadMockingbird/f6e0f8ec88e7b8e276c51f03a3772b97

There's a reason vets aren't in horror movies.

I can show you if you give me an image

They'd hunt the monsters.

@Vesdii It enhances visibility.

One image has almost no contrast.

I should have posted them in the other order, before first.
