  • Copyright issues aside, can we talk about how this implies accurate recall of an image from a never before achievable data compression ratio? If these models can actually recall the images they have been fed this could be a quantum leap in compression technology.

  • Vehicle design prioritizing pedestrian survivability is beneficial regardless of urban design, though admittedly an optimal design will depend on median speed of the vehicle.in pedestrian areas.

    Return to retro 1940s rounded truck hoods is honestly an inevitable design shift at some point, as fashion always cycles, but the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency standards are against it.

  • Would cattle scoop style front ends save lives? The point would need to be crumply plastic for auto collisions, but i wonder if designing for deflection would legitimately benefit pedestrian collision survivability.

  • Ugh, yeah, I fought aurocorrect over it and lost in the end it looks like. Got it fixed up now.

  • Alibaba in some ways.

    Nasreddin Hoca is the most popular Turkish folk hero

    Anansi the Spider is a great trickster folklore character from the Akan in Ghana. I loved these stories as a kid and had a great book on tape.

    Can't go wrong with this list:

  • Their products will fail and they will learn. This is likely people who do not know English very well seeking to use AI to automatically name their products for them. Not a terrible application for AI, but certainly shouldn't be fully automated with no editorial oversight.

  • Some people care more about driving adoption than being a federation absolutist my dude.

    If you haven't watched a YouTube video in the last year I'll give you $20.

  • "By using non-parametric trends30,31 and considering an ensemble of 146 CMIP533 and CMIP634 climate model runs (Tables S1 and S2), we identify regions where wetting and drying patterns converge across the globe. Our trend-based approach aligns with the continuous nature of radiative forcing35, provides flexibility and robustness in detecting and quantifying global warming-induced changes, and effectively controls for natural variability36.

    Our innovative approach (see “Methods”) evaluates the entire time-series using no interannual averaging and combines information from the fullest range of GCM projections available to determine their agreement and the extent of precipitation impacts with no ensemble aggregation. This is important because each set of simulations provides a plausible storyline of future precipitation patterns under elevated global warming, rather than using aggregated data which can obscure important trends and patterns."

    Read the methods before commenting on them please. This study uses 146 different simulation models and takes a non-averaged median projected value to generate the final projections.

  • Odysee is one of the biggest distributed video hosting platforms, equivalent to PeerTube. It's not sketch, but the embed isn't working for some reason. That is on the instance admin.

  • You said the level of effort can't be matched. It certainly can by the same man.

  • To build on this, it would be accurate to say that Anarchy is the principle upon which the technologies of Anarchism are built. Rather than a political system, which inherently function through obligation of participation or subjugation, the technologies of anarchism are participatory. That is to say anarchism provides methodologies of engagement between individuals and groups to achieve outcomes without obligation or subjugation which are imposed by the system, replacing those attributes of hierarchy instead with consent, participation, and consensus which are fundamentally voluntary and opt-in in nature.

    Another way to say this is that Political Systems are means by which a group forces rules upon individuals, while Anarchism is a set of methods by which individuals can perform actions as groups.

  • One has to wonder if they just split off adult content into a separate platform using the same Amazon logins, and including cross-platform notifications one way from the twitch site to the adult site whether it would solve both their cash flow and advertising problem.

  • Follow this simple rule for clarity, replace the names and ethnic background of the parties in question with A and B, acknowledge that A and B have historical conflict and are distinct ethnic groups but set aside their cultural characteristics and specifics. Now take the actions of A towards B and compare them to historical examples. Under jurisprudence there can be no a priori exoneration of any group due to historical factors, actors must be judged solely on their actions.

    The ICC follows "The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part. It does not include political groups or so called “cultural genocide”." And Israel is walking a fine line at the moment by claiming that they are exterminating a political group "Hamas" but their actions towards the civilian population will determine their guilt or innocence in the eyes of history and the international community. The ICC's job is to collect all the facts that we civilians can not, and make a determination based on those facts. If you believe Israel is innocent, you should not worry as the facts will clearly exonerate them and so will history be written.

  • Or you know... Peter Jackson again.

  • Maybe a Swiss Franc or Japanese Yen peg might suit them better, if they could buy enough volume.

  • Equality

  • Hot. Do more.

  • Vaselgel is too cheap to manufacture to get the funding it needs to bring it to market, that's why they have been trying for 20 years and haven't succeeded yet. In the US the rights are owned by a non profit Parsemu Foundation formed to fund it. It looks like their private partner NEXT Life Sciences is actually set to come to market with a vaselgel product in 2026 they are calling Plan A.

    Interesting marketing choice comparing it to the Plan B pill.

  • Bring in the military to feed my kids some vegetables.

  • That is the definition of an authoritarian position.

    Science Fiction & Speculative Fiction has a new home

    I am an avid fan of Science Fiction, and I have a feeling I am not the only one here. I just founded a new inclusive Magazine/Community for sharing and discussion of all things SciFi.

    Please join us for discussion of your favorite books, comics, TV shows, Movies, and more.

    Bulk comics libraries

    Does anyone have a good source for digitized comics in bulk? I'm tired of paying the corpos for subscriptions and in a dreamworld I'd find the whole backlogs by publisher in decent resolution and format.

    Malware on the fediverse?

    Hey all, I'm fairly new to the Fediverse.

    I'm just wondering what is preventing mallard from being shared on Lemmy, K.Bin, etc. via images or other embeds? Is there some file vetting happening under the hood?

    Is there an equivalent to PopcornTime for Music?

    A platform to stream torrents rather than download them would be nice.

    Also iis it possible to use PopcornTime with more than just the PopcornTime.xyz list?

    A Tool For Generating Threads From RSS

    Hello all, I have been dipping in and out of the Fediverse for years now and am loving where the technology is now.

    For about as long, I have been interested in building my own network/community for my professional area of activity (cannabis, hemp, and Natural produccts). I have seen many other attempts with few succeeding in the way I would like. One thing I think could really help anchor a nee community would be a steady flow of relevant content in specific dedicated community/magazines so that people can use the community as a source of news and comment on it.

    To those ends I am wondering if anyone is aware of a tool that could take RSS feed subscriptions and generate posts from them into a fediverse platform, ideally Lemmy or K.Bin. In an ideal world this would include autosummarization, and posting of a link the the main article. To be clear I would like to run this on my own dedicated instance.

    Anyone know of anything like this?
