They're about the same accuracy according to this data: https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/study-wikipedia-as-a...
TrinaryWorksToo··on Hyperlinks in Handwriting
You're right. The image its self would need to be colored and then switched out perhaps.

Or use an SVG.

It's why I used DDG first, because it does this less in my opinion.

TrinaryWorksToo··on How random can you be? (2019)
Here is the follow up blog post where the post mentions De Bruijn sequences specifically: https://www.expunctis.com/2019/04/01/Not-so-random-followup....
TrinaryWorksToo··on How random can you be? (2019)
I picked n=6 in particular because the code checks the past 5 numbers so 6 means that it can't do its frequency analysis but also avoids the problem you mention. And yes, it isn't random, rather it enforces a unique sequence. Because the code looks for repetition one number at a time, a de bruijn sequence has to be pretty optimal since it attempts not to.

Also this sequence seems to work better: 0000001001000101010011010000110010110110001110101110011110111111

TrinaryWorksToo··on How random can you be? (2019)
If you want to hack it, give it a binary de Bruijn sequence with alphabet size k=2. Since it looks to follow whichever pattern already exists, and de bruijn sequences minimize existing patterns, it always beats the game.

I used http://combos.org/bruijn and pressed left for zero and right for one.

Using rule Grandmama creates close to a perfectly straight line up and to the right when you start from the first 1 in the sequence.

Try: 1001000101010011010000110010110110001110101110011110111111000000

where 1 is right and 0 is left.

Have you looked into HuggingFace Accelerate? People have supposedly been able to make the tradeoff with that. Although you still need to download the huge models.

I wonder if it can do a 2d mesh + UV map so we could just load it into blender.
TrinaryWorksToo··on Reinstating our SAT/ACT requirement for future admissions cycles
Yeah that's probably right. It's not a ranking mechanism which is what I think some people believe it is advocating. More isn't necessarily better.
TrinaryWorksToo··on Reinstating our SAT/ACT requirement for future admissions cycles
Buried in the details it says that MIT will be accepting anyone over a (presumably secret) threshold, not using it as a ranking tool as some people might indicate.
TrinaryWorksToo··on New study disavows marshmallow test’s predictive powers
There could easily be confounders to that though. Like people who are wealthy might be able to delay satisfaction better than poor, because their needs are more satisfied.
