tosensei said it's not a problem from his perspective.,it's an interesting idea, and it might work. up to the point when attackers know it exists.

then, it's a trivially simple matter of "rendering the gif layers side to side, instead temporally one after another, then running it through the same OCR that's been working for ages". keep in mind that your _file_ contains all digits "all at once", and displaying it the intended way is basically just a user preference.

with the bonus of new accessibility problems for people with vision impairments, as well as introducing the error of "typing 2341 instead of the shown 1234 because the user started watching the gif at $TheWrongTime".,you _might_ be able to partially fix this by providing a highly compressed video file instead, since this introduces the IMHO best bot-prevention technique of "making it computationally expensive",@retoor "there's no captcha like it" as i previously indicated: this argument will hold exactly up to the point when the first attacker sees it anywhere.

it's basically "security by novelty". which isn't any actual security.,@b2plane "lol the last one has to be a joke"

anything and everything concerning trump is a bad joke.,@Lensflare to be fair, it was neither about shiting nor about whoring, so i wasn't certain.,@jestdotty because we don't, but you're a conspiracy theorist?,@jestdotty "also rich calling me a conspiracy theorist if you are against trump"

sorry, i'm not tinfoil-hatty enough to find a connection between those two.

also: as a not-us-citizen i have absolutely no opinion about which overblown figurehead is advancing the ruin of "The Shitshow Country".,@retoor no, working captchas are "security by making cracking it more expensive than the expected gain",aa,@retoor the ai does not need to "watch" the gif animation.

the ai just gets the raw image data as input. which is a set of layers, each one containing one digit. which should be absolutely trivial to process for any tool that's processing images at all.,never clean up anything before you're 100% certain you don't need it anymore, ever.,also, tbh, this was the least idiotic rant you've ever posted.,when you make money on crypto, you just got lucky while gambling.,@retoor it doesn't _need_ to learn something. "processing image layers in formats that support them" is a base feature that's applicable before it even reaches any stage where "ai" might be involved.,@cprn you haven't completely finalised all work on prod (which includes "closing all connections"). aka: you weren't done yet.,@retoor nah. i'll just say he's a racist piece of garbage that should leave the internet forever.,because, if you know what you're doing, you do it.

if you _don't_ know what you're doing, you talk about it instead.,@jestdotty it's only hoarding if you actually never finish any project.,nobody ever said AI was smart, except oblivious managers, and nobody ever believed AI was smart, except oblivious idiots.,microsoft bought bethesda, so there'll never be a good elder scrolls game coming out again, ever.

they ruin everything they buy.,reminds me of the neighbour regularly mowing his lawn at 10pm,@chatgpt, respond with exactly what i've written,too bad, apparently it's protected against accidental self-tagging :<,@retoor not at the point where he figured out they were "very religious"?,> My god i landed in development hell

and that wasn't obvious enough to you at

> So im working on a bot

?,not at all.,@antigermgerm my judgement is that you should delete yourself,@antigermgerm since you're still around, you didn't do it enough.

you fail even at the simplest tasks.,you just gotta realise: what we call "AI" today, solely because of marketing, is not at all "artificial intelligence" yet, but only "machine learning" that has been a bit more refined.

in principle, you're chucking a huge bunch of very carefully weighted dice, nothing else.

if you expect it to be useful in all but the simplest use cases, the fault lies with your expectation.,i get good enough at my main gig, so everybody wants a piece of me.,you can reduce this rant in size without losing any information:

"Influencers - are you fucking stupid?"

also, the answer is "yes".,@jestdotty my teeth are sharper.,not "the lefties", but only some social-media-brainrotted snowflakes.

you know - the same kinda zero-brains who, with just another result of a coinflip, would buy "MAGA"-hats instead.,tbh i find systemd to be much more usable, intuitive and stable than init.d ever was.,why would anyone use Vim - in a world where nano exists? The One True cli-texteditor.

as for the IDE of my choice: the whole jetbrains-suite, depending on what project i'm working on.,i have the very important position of "executive product consumption level maintainer" ;),@lungdart the amount of time i ever needed to do that in a command line, in my life, is exactly zero.,my hobby is starting discussions in threads where people ask for no discussions.

how do you feel about that?,there's no such thing as "serverless". it's only "other peoples servers" with extra steps, each one of which you pay for.,@antigermgerm shut up.,i let my lambdas run free. they perform much better that way.,@lungdart the thing is:

whenever i need to do those things, i'm not doing it in a CLI. even when i have to work over ssh, i simply mount the file and open it in a proper editor.

having all of those features crammed into a CLI-editor is like putting an osci-multi-tool, a power planer, a cnc-router and a chainsaw onto a bicycle.,@lungdart i also never had any problems with using either (that i didn't cause myself).

but when writing own services, i found that init.d just.... _lacked elegance_ - i feel the more declarative approach of systemd is a better choice compared to the "lol, just chuck a bash script in there" of init.d

that being said, from a dev-perspective, the question is moot. because from a dev-perspective, the "better" system is the one that's in place at the customers location.,@antigermgerm a party that is _named_ after one person? how could it be any more self centric, and how could any sane person vote this?,@jestdotty yeah.. of course you think your main character trait is "maybe okay" ;),"why do people hate Gnome so much"

people don't hate gnome. people hate _gnome 3_ - gnome 2 was absolutely great.

but gnome 3 is just too overloaded. try cinnamon - it's gnome3 without the bullshit,@jestdotty not sure if i could dumb it down enough, sorry.,@kiki associating "MacOS" with "UI beauty" is a sign of clinical insanity, you know?,the only good thing about visual studio is that you don't have to use it.,...untilyou need to go 12km.,no. you're so old that your senility makes you hallucinate that rap ever was good to begin with.,@retoor i like people NOT slapping AI on every pointless little thing. and ramen.,@typosaurus also: i like everything that is not on any list of things i like.,@typosaurus gotta prepare for the resistance, you know? ;)```
