Hands appear differently in different positions all over the frame in the photo so I maintain the hand pattern is less consistent and harder than lens blur.
But you’re right as the blur is a fingerprint you can match it to a lens and prove a photo is real that way.
It could be a useful tactic as much of AI detection is a way to find and prove AI fake so far.
Just my guess. I could be wrong:
As the lens blur is mathematically fairly simple and spread across the whole image it’s likely already consistently replicated by AI in a similar way to real photos.
It’s easier for generative AI to spot, “understand”, and replicate a mathematical pattern than the number of fingers on a hand or limbs on a body.
Because Biden paid them with grants to build in the US. It’s that simple.
Beyond that there’s stability and the likelihood of not being invaded or facing natural disasters.
There’s meant to be government, legal, and financial institution stability too.
As well as intellectual property defense, trade secrets and NDAs.
Material supplies are meant to be stable too.
When you’re investing in something as specialised as chip manufacturing, labour is a fraction of your concern. Both short and long term.
If you want a market solution to correct this, it should cost more money to submit frivolous patents.
Or simply rate limit the number of parents a company can submit if they have a lot of failed applications.
Sorry, you’ve wasted our time with 3 failed applications this month, no more applications until next month.
I’m not sure that works. There were 20 shillings to the pound.
So £0.75 a week.
This inflation calculator:
https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator
£75 in 1843 is equivalent to £8,310.96
So 15s then is equivalent to £83.11 a week, £4321.72 a year.
40 hour week (which is implied to be too low). ~£2.08 an hour
So if he worked over 40 hours you’re talking a sub £2/hour wage. Around $2.70 in US money.
I suspect the stat relies on converting to dollars before applying inflation as GBP to USD was about 1 to 5 then instead of about 1 to 1.33
It’s fun but I wouldn’t want to denigrate Dickens by saying he got poverty wrong to make a political point.
