[00:29:07] <FatPhil> then again, glasses would often be messed up to. I'd say about only 50% didn't have obvious tells.
[00:30:49] <FatPhil> there was a site which did spot-the-fake testing of image pairs, I used to score quite highly on that, but of course that tells them what didn't work so well, and it all get fed back into the model.
[00:34:36] <FatPhil> I occasionally do tests for research papers for the psychology department at one of my unis, though those are more audio than visual. about once a year there's a face recognition paper.

[00:40:21] <SoyCow7103> You know what else is going on with TV? The Jews are getting really aggressive with those sounds that are designed for phones to pick up, to tie devices/shows/locations. I'm watching a ball-game and out of nowhere I heard a sound of Super Mario collecting a coin.
[00:40:34] <SoyCow7103> There's annoying shit like that all over TV.

[08:12:57] <chromas> AMP. Google did AMP to the WWW
[08:13:52] <chromas> My favorite part about AMP is the requirement to make the page invisible for 20 (or maybe 15) seconds using CSS animation
[08:15:49] <FatPhil> *, :before, :after { transform: none !important; animation: none !important; } in chrome/userContent.css
[08:16:33] <chromas> Good idea. I'd rather just skip the AMP though
[08:16:33] <FatPhil> yes, some funts were hiding animations inside :before and :after elements after people started blocking them from * elements.
[08:17:04] <chromas> I read that Google requires the invisibility to be put on whatever news carousel thing they were doing at the time
[08:17:21] <FatPhil> yeah, but that CSS works for non-AMP sites too.
[08:17:35] <chromas> Then some JS makes it visible after the page loads so you don't see the page rearrange while it's loading, even though the entire purpose of AMP (supposedly) is to have less cruft on the page
[08:17:51] <FatPhil> google and news things crop up occasionally, but I don't remember anything to do with invisibility.
[08:18:17] <FatPhil> Ah, yeah, that's a common technique for those skilled in the art of modern web destruction
[08:18:26] <FatPhil> design, design, silly fingers
[08:19:54] <FatPhil> My first response when I see a blank page with a non-moving spinner is "dismiss the overlay", and then just "page style -> no style"
[08:20:00] <chromas> Looks like Google's amp lib has a built-in thing to disable invisibility when JS is off but I've never seen that work

[19:46:08] <tedious> FatPhil: I'm trying to understand what you and chromas were talking about earlier.
[19:46:57] <tedious> Did I get that right that putting what you said in userchrome.css will blocking annoying javascript?
[19:50:19] <tedious> I rememebr there used to be something like that for fixing twitter so you could read it without javascript but then mozilla decided to disable it with one of their updates so it stopped working forever. :(
[19:59:51] <chromas> Twitter updated itself so the tweets don't exist in the html you download

[20:10:19] <tedious> Oh ok I see.
[20:11:19] <tedious> Mozilla did some things to make users stop using their own userchrome.css configs "for security" allegedlg but then twitter did their thing too.
[20:22:09] <FatPhil> tedious: chromas: I did miss out one line of my CSS for brevity, google for the rest of it, and you'll find the whole thing.
[20:22:22] <FatPhil> My actual CSS file is about 10 clauses.
[20:23:14] <FatPhil> But as chromas says, this stops CSS from doing <blink>, because <blink> was retarded, and for them to have *reinvented* that shows that they are exponentially retarded.

[20:59:22] <tedious> That seem to be what has been happening all over the world for the past 50 years or so.
[21:00:24] <tedious> At least some of the arm chips are still being made in the uk tho right?
[21:19:06] <boru> ARM is a fabless semiconductor
[21:19:15] <boru> They lease IP to other mfrs.
[21:19:32] <boru> Fabless semiconductor company, that is.
[21:20:04] <boru> They sell IP cores, which other companies like ST, NXP, Samsung etc. build their own IP around and tape out.
[21:21:31] <boru> Not many chip companies fab their own chips. They use companies like TSMC and friends who rent the lithography machines from the likes of ASML.
[21:21:45] <boru> Anyway, time for bed.
[21:27:53] <tedious> Oh wow thanks for clearing that up for me boru!
[21:28:02] <tedious> Good night!
[21:30:13] <tedious> So are there no companies making semiconductors except in china and a few other asian countries?
[21:38:58] <t3> afaik, the *most advanced* chips are restricted to a few cutting-edge fabs mostly in Asia, but not everything
[21:40:22] <t3> and there is currently a lot of investment in building new fabs outside of China/Taiwan specifically to counter that
[21:44:24] <t3> economies of scale + massive R&D costs for new processes have limited the amount of equipment produced though, and nobody is building new hardware to make 180nm or whatever
[21:54:25] <FatPhil> TSMC seems to the the main player now, they have more customers, and bigger customers, than anyone else I can think of.
[21:54:35] <FatPhil> Even the guys who have their own fabs use TSMC.
