Honest question: how do state-sponsored attacks from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia affect civilian life?

Presumably, those have influenced elections, though I guess it depends what you count as an attack.

Plenty of bots try to modify public opinion. Someone hacked the DNC in 2015/16, the result of which also alleged attempted manipulation in 2008:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_National_Committee_...

Since we (as old Rummy said) do not know what we do not know, we cannot be certain about the extent of cyber attacks and what they might have influenced, and may not know these things until discoveries decades later, if ever.

Note the RNC was also hacked but the data was not leaked. Presumably used to influence the election and policies in other ways.

All of that applies equally to PRISM and any internal propaganda campaigns that was feeding into, no?

Yes... they might have influenced elections and now, as a result, the world must cope with the Trump regime.

Let's now fool ourselves.... Trump is probably the best, most successful attempt at world de-stabilisation all those rogue states ever achieved.

Maybe Americans should take responsibility for electing a maniac as their President. In the end, the buck stops with Americans.

~1/3rd of US citizens voted for him. Don’t lump us all in.

Some of you are just guilty of negligence yes.

Or maybe it's that our archaic system was designed so that some people's votes literally matter more than others, and more than half the country does not have a meaningful voice in our Federal elections.

The number of people who can vote, but don't, is staggering.

This is negligence with extra steps.

> more than half the country does not have a meaningful voice in our Federal elections

There is almost certainly an election on your ballot every time that is meaningful. Relinquishing that civic duty is how we get Trump. People to lazy, stupid or proud to vote absolutely bear responsibility for this mess.

I agree to an extent but I have a hard time blaming many in the LGBT community/supporters of Palestine for sitting out when Harris and co so thoroughly abandoned them in the general. They stood behind Biden in 2020 then watched as the democrats gave in on trans rights and did nothing to stop Israel’s campaign. Now they’re watching Newsome and folks gleefully accept trans erasure going into the mid terms/next election, so they’ve been validated in many ways.

Is it tactically sound? No. Is it what I did? No. But I’ve had enough conversations with folks that I get where they’re coming from, even if I thought it was the wrong decision.

I vote in local, state, and federal elections. I have volunteered with multiple campaigns and causes, and given substantial time/labor to the EFF. I have been harassed by Trump supporters while filming protests and other civic action. Please do not presume to know me.

I get you’re angry but you’re swinging at the wrong person.

It wasn’t personal.

You weren’t the commenter and either way it’s an unproductive blame game that doesn’t fix anything or help anyone.

Good. But the parent was blaming Trump on disinformation propaganda, and it is important to point out that the remaining 1/3-rd of the country is not some kind of idiot army that replaced their brains with FB propaganda. They voted for this actively.

Also, in a democracy you don't get to disavow 1/3rd of the population that didn't vote with you.

2/3rd’s* that didn’t vote with you.

Clearly you do, since Donald Trump has been aggressively doing this for his whole political career. I agree that it's a morally problematic thing to do, and it can be bad tactically depending on the situation. Practically, it does happen without consequences.

Not if the election was stolen. There was a smattering of evidence after the election but the speed with which is disappeared was truly something to behold.

WannaCry massively affected the NHS.

What a nightmare! Are your findings and this list of malicious extensions published somewhere?

It's interactive, for starters. You can do that with SVG, of course, but the boilerplate required would be larger than the `.canvas` file. You can externalize the boilerplate, but then you're no longer creating portable SVG files, and if we're going to create an SVG-like DSL we may as well try out this JSON-like DSL.

This isn't obvious to me. You can have javascript external to the svg for making it interactive, it doesn't have to be embedded in the svg. And the interactivity for json canvas isn't embedded in the canvas json either.

If we're adding external interactivity, we're treating each as a custom DSL format and need to evaluate them as such:

JSON Canvas:

    graph primitive
    easier to read, write, and reason about
    harder to render

SVG:

    path primitive
    easier to render
    harder to read, write, and reason about

Interactive like this? https://yqnn.github.io/svg-path-editor/

I still don't see your point. Why wouldn't I always choose SVG? What problem or pain point is being solved?

It's not interactive for me:

https://codepen.io/ItIsHappy/pen/vEXrXxg

Yes, I'm being pedantic, but that was the point of my comment. SVGs aren't interactive by default, you need to bring your own interactivity.

For static content, SVGs work great, but for interactive content the additional sematic layer of JSON Canvas has a clear benefit. SVGs represent connections using paths, while JSON Canvas uses a graph. This means SVG cannot connect a single node to more than 2 adjacent nodes. If I want to draw arrows from Alice, Bob, and Charlie all to Dave, then I need to create a second Dave or reference to that location somehow. (You can see this in your sword example by moving one of the edge points. The sword delaminates because only two of the four edges at that point can be connected together.) SVG provides limited tooling for this, but it gets rather complicated rather quickly.

Cool, now show me a codepen with an interactive JSON Canvas?

Fair point, SVGs are more portable. They're also more capable (and complicated). JSON Canvas is a more specific tool.

Both of the following examples show the same thing, but the SVG representation doesn't convey the structure:

JSON Canvas:

  {
    "nodes": [
      {"id": "a", "type": "text", "text": "Alice",   "x": 20,  "y": 50,  "width": 40, "height": 10},
      {"id": "b", "type": "text", "text": "Bob",     "x": 170, "y": 50,  "width": 40, "height": 10},
      {"id": "c", "type": "text", "text": "Charlie", "x": 320, "y": 50,  "width": 40, "height": 10},
      {"id": "d", "type": "text", "text": "Dave",    "x": 170, "y": 150, "width": 40, "height": 10}
    ],
    "edges": [
      {"id": "ad", "fromNode": "a", "toNode": "d"},
      {"id": "bd", "fromNode": "b", "toNode": "d"},
      {"id": "cd", "fromNode": "c", "toNode": "d"}
    ]
  }

SVG:

  <svg width="400" height="200">
    <text x="20"  y="50" >Alice</text>
    <text x="170" y="50" >Bob</text>
    <text x="320" y="50" >Charlie</text>
    <text x="170" y="150">Dave</text>
    <line x1="40"  y1="60" x2="190" y2="130" stroke="black"/>
    <line x1="190" y1="60" x2="190" y2="130" stroke="black"/>
    <line x1="340" y1="60" x2="190" y2="130" stroke="black"/>

I suspect vibe coders might actually want you to consider turning to Claude for accountability and ownership rather than the human orchestrator.

If your linter is able to action requests, then it probably makes sense to add too.

It's sending sound parameter information (e.g. filter cutoff at 12khz, resonance at 1.6, Q of 0.89) along with note information (e.g. start playing note A4 with velocity 80). You could absolutely use a MIDI CC channel to convey this information. The OP-32 chooses a different route and encodes this into an audio signal so that it can transmit it over the air using the speaker/mic instead of a wireless stack.

I bet it sounds like a dial-up tone!

For better or worse...

A single spreadsheet used locally is probably the best imaginable tool for answering "what if I changed that."

That same sheet shared across an organization suddenly becomes a game of "what caused that change."

So, what does having inference done by NVIDIA directly add?

They never said they didn't.

I am! I'm perfectly capable of managing my own time and shoeing others away if needed. Please bother me! That's why I have a cell phone and a salary.

Almost certainly relevant: I work in manufacturing.

They could be!

Here's a line from my local library's site:

> Our auditoriums are provided as a public service for use by individuals, institutions, groups, organizations, and corporations for a small fee, when not being used for library-affiliated or sponsored activities.

I'm colorblind, but I ended up getting a 0.0028 "much better than average" score. Hmm... Fun site!

To promote some further reading:

OKLab isn't actually a perceptually uniform colorspace. It's better than others, but it was specifically chosen as a tradeoff between accuracy and speed (hence the name OK). When you start digging this deep, you quickly learn that we have yet to invent any perceptually uniform colorspaces; even the most precise models we have end up using fits and approximations. Color has some really inconvenient properties like depending strongly on brightness and background. Frankly, given the differences in human biology (having orders of magnitude differences in relative numbers of each cone, for instance), it's surprising we agree as much as we do! Human color perception is an endless pit of complexity.

(Note, I don't say any of this to detract from what you've built here, merely expand. Your site is awesome and I love it!)
