poly means many

so if both mono and poly are in monopoly, why do you only pick mono, or why does only mono matter here?

The announcement blog post linked on the bottom of the linked Turnstile page has some info on that

For Turnstile, the actual act of checking a box isn’t important, it’s the background data we’re analyzing while the box is checked that matters. We find and stop bots by running a series of in-browser tests, checking browser characteristics, native browser APIs, and asking the browser to pass lightweight tests (ex: proof-of-work tests, proof-of-space tests) to prove that it’s an actual browser. The current deployment of Turnstile checks billions of visitors every day, and we are able to identify browser abnormalities that bots exhibit while attempting to pass those tests.

Since Cloudflare published Turnstile I’ve hated Captchas even more, because Turnstile does it so much better. Captchas are such a hassle. One website I occasionally visit does not keep me logged in and then presents one of the worst captcha puzzle systems. Shitty captchas are a huge barrier.

Turnstile is, in almost all cases, one checkbox to click (I’ve never been challenged beyond that). All captcha puzzles should be replaced with Turnstile or similar simple (for the user to solve) tech.

we do so via a large-scale (over 3, 600 distinct users) 13-month real-world user study and post-study survey

results indicate that the website context directly influences (with statistically significant differences) solving time between pass- word recovery and account creation.

We explore the cost and security of reCAPTCHAv2 and conclude that it has an immense cost and no security. Overall, we believe that this study’s results prompt a natural conclusion: reCAPTCHAv2 and similar reCAPTCHA technology should be deprecated.

I wonder how many software devs and admins now weigh their morals. And how many reject to implement or not.

going on the main project

Sounds more like they’re just making sure the plugin is compatible on release of GIMP 3.0. It’s still a [separate] plugin.

Ah, sorry, I must have missed that when skimming.

“creating and bringing value requires secrecy”

or maybe stuff leaks and finds interest because it’s questionable in the first place

Is it open source? Another article I read earlier said R1 is open weight, not open source. This article only says the org uses open source practices. No other mention of “open”.

I’m surprised there’s not an evident fork yet.

Real issues and contributions aside; creating one plugin is not contributing to Wordpress core/itself. And if they make good money over many years, I would agree that that alone is not a proportional or very significant contribution.

The plugin was evidently significant. But doesn’t necessarily indicate overall contributions or proportionality.

I don’t see any mention of an ML assistant?

Sorry about that.

As a side note; An ‘/s’, used to indicate sarcasm, would have made it clear to me that it is a joke.

and then modify these using neutral prompts to meet a business goal (e.g., “increase the likelihood of us selling our product”).

Doesn’t seem much different from pushing/pressuring a human to meet a business goal like that.

If it was intended as a joke, I don’t see what would indicate it as such.

There are comments and people that like to spin this story. So I assume that’s what the comment was. Meaning what it’s saying.

I do ask when things are unclear or to open up the other party to elaborate on their views or meanings. I don’t know what I could have asked here though.

I took no [personal] offense. I replied because I did not want to let that outlandish, divisive, conspiracy claim stand without any refute or criticism.

All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.

With the right joystick in place, it’s certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.

Not like you think it is. It’s not a small exclusive club where they do what they want in a planned manner and only to their own gain and amusement.
