Not by town, please. There are about 100 in the Bay Area. That's just useless.
Lat long of the town center would work. I don't need precise, but not seeing something 100 meters from me because it's in the next municipal unit is aggravating.
>Have you ever daydreamed about talking to someone from the past?
It's going to be more like corresponding with someone from the past. We don't have much in the way of recorded speech from that area, so this will be built from written records. Much more than now, the written records are going to be formal and edited, reflecting a different pattern than casual speech or writing.
Having said that, this is cool. I recently had to OCR a two-hundred year old book with the usual garish fonts from that era. It was remarkably easy to do, and accurate.
You just reminded me of reading a free ebook of Burton’s translation of The Arabian Nights and getting frustrated by “cloth” being used as a verb and not being able to figure out its meaning until I got frustrated and gave up on the experience. Only later did I realize it was an OCR error (or post-OCR correction error) and the intended word was “doth” as in “this transcription doth sucketh.”

We may not have a ton, but do have a lot of news reels and radio broadcasts from the time surrounding WWI. Certainly enough to style-transfer a voice model to plug into the text model.
Image editing program -> different versions of the image, each with some but not all of the elements you want, on each layer -> mask out the parts you don't need/apply mask, fill with black, soft brush with white the parts you want back in. Copy flattened/merged, drop it back into the image model, keep asking for the changes. As long as each generation adds in an element you want, you can build a collage of your final image.
It's the first thing I tried, because Nano Banana 2 deteriorates the output with each turn, becoming unusable with just a few edits.
ChatGPT Images 2.0 made it unusable at the first turn. At least in the ChatGPT app editing a reference image absolutely destroyed the image quality. It perfectly extracted an illustration from the background, but in the process basically turned it from a crisp digital illustration into a blurry, low quality mess.
You'll get thousand of attacks a day (and it's been years since I have done this, so probably worse). They try the list of 1000 or so most common passwords across the whole internet. It works often enough to be cost effective.
Yeah exactly. If your password can be bruteforced in 1000 or so attempts you have bigger problems than not having fail2ban on ssh. The parent comment was suggesting someone was hacked in an hour for leaving ssh on default settings, and it's obviously not true.
You're misreading my point. I didn't recommend 'fail2ban' or claimed any machine without it is as good as compromised. I recommended removing the attack surface entirely by not exposing SSH to the public internet. The point is removing an attack surface completely instead of relying on operator competency.
Relying on a 'sane password' is like seeing the stat '1 out of 10 cars is left unlocked' and commenting 'Yeah, but those people are stupid, I'd never forget to lock mine!'. While maybe true, it's irrelevant. It's objectively safer to keep the car in a private garage (Tailscale) than to leave it on a public street. Feel free to leave your car wherever.
Recordable CDs involved individuals making copies. AI is run by a couple of dozen people who give full access to other people's work, metered by the syllable.
It was never legal for massive corporations to record other people's work on CDs and sell them; that's the opposite of copyright. The comparison is absurd.
