This website doesn't work at all for me (Safari, iOS 13). After asking for permission the video becomes modal and impossible to close, completely hijacking my browser and forcing me to quit the app. That's the state of JS in 2020 I guess.

oh, thanks for bringing that to my attention, I'll look into it.

What a great website and cool way to present a technical topic. Online education is still in its infancy and when we talk nowadays about good examples of online education, we usually think of videos and (in the best case) of websites where students can play with interactive models, solve exercises, etc. But this website demonstrates that you can still go mucher further in involving the listener as a person. This of c…

Agreed. I found the presentation of the material more interesting and innovative than the topic itself.

The interaction heat map blocks the Skip button. I just wanted to see the score so I skipped all the talk but that also meant that my skipping made me unable to skip after that step.

LOL funny how people here gibber about privacy but are more than happy to give their face to some rando website. Y'all are fucking muppets.

Is a picture without personally identifying information problematic? I assume pre-COVID you didn't walk around in a mask all the time.

I wonder how many people who actually upload a photo to this site will even bother to remove EXIF data?

If you have all the original metadata in a typical smartphone camera JPEG, then things like the info below is available:

- camera model

- phone model

- time & date of when the picture was taken

- geo-location of where the picture was taken

I would say for anyone motivated enough that is pretty easily identifiable.

edit: bullet points formatting

edit2: lewispollard rightly pointed out that I should read before writing. :)

This is an art project by Tijmen Schep that shows how face detection algoritms are increasingly used to judge you.

No personal data is sent to our server in any way. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. All the face detection algorithms will run on your own computer, in the browser.

In this 'test' your face is compared with that of all the the other people who have previously done this test. At the end of the show you can, if you want to, share some anonimized data. That will then be used to re-calculate the new average. That anonymous data is not shared any further.

Did you know that online communities are often comprised of multiple people that will act differently?

Ah, this one couldn't find my face. It kept focusing on my left ear and gave it a 5 for attractiveness. Then it couldn't find my face any longer. There was another fun one posted here months ago [1]. I wanna say I'm disappointed, but I'd be lying. I'm happy that A.I. cannot detect us black people. I'll need to do something about that left ear though.

The only person I know who did something about his left ear, did admirable. Just don’t wrap the ear in a newspaper and hand it to a prostitute, as I doubt that sort of thing will work out well in these modern times.

I don't trust elites or any product which quickly gets popular on any form of mainstream media. There is so much dirty money flowing around and most of it goes to lying psychopaths (the selection bias for psychopathy is systemic and seemingly intentional). Our modern economic growth is founded on coercing people into continuing to accept currencies which keep getting dirtier and which keep losing their value. It's 100% about coercion, manipulation and gate keeping. If you can't figure out what the product is that they're selling, you're the product.

You will not find these on mainstream media. They will not be promoted.

"Violently average" oof Great website to share with my non-tech friends and family, they're tired of my rants but this is very well articulated. Any chances of including other languages for wider reach?

It linked to the Dutch version at the end (the author is Dutch, judging by their name and accent): https://www.hoenormaalbenik.nl
