this is really buggy and feels oldweb in a unpleasant way. like newer than visiting a site with no index page and seeing the vanilla apache file directory, but only enough to use old jquery-ish 2003 era web ui/patterns/components.

clicking a file and a big spinner appearing. hitting back button to go back up a few folders, spinner never goes away, etc.

depression existed before smartphones, but now everyone can record viral tiktoks lamenting their depression for views/engagement while other depressed people consume it

it reads more like you're bitter because he exposed the simple formula for success in a modern corporation and you're gatekeeping ICs from seizing this opportunity

the fact that humans need a book to tell them sleep is good shows how broken this society is.... or how stupid the average person is

This is the 4D chess kind of move you get when Musk's brain is operating at maximum capacity.

New comment by Solvency in "The state of AI for hand-drawn animation inbetweening"

Solvency — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 17:10:07 +0000

i don't get it. we essentially figured this out in the first Matrix by having a bunch of cameras film an actor and then used interpolation to create a 360 shot from it.

why can't this basic idea be applied to simple 2d animation over two decades later?

this will never happen. why? because humans are outrageously self-centeredly narcissistic. so narcissistic that we invented religions where god is just an omnipotent/omnipowerful version of a man, and then we go "god created man in his image" to justify it.

humans can't help but be obsessed with other humans, the same way every species is hardwired in a specific way to relate to their own species.

the idea of any computer system "brain" not being compared and contrasted to our own is against our very narcissistic nature.

I never said chickens were smarter than us, I said my chickens are visually processing far more than I possibly can all while engaged in mentally and physically taxing activities.

New comment by Solvency in "Low-carb diets work. Why does the American Diabetes Assoc push insulin instead?"

Solvency — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 14:26:42 +0000

because America is a massive money-hungry machine and run by for-profit corporatjons, and if your business is treating chronically ill people, where's the money in preventing illness through proper nutrition and awareness?

jason fung and many other modern doctors have proven time and time again, demonstrably, that type two diabetes is absolutely reversible purely through better nutrition and dietary practices.

and it doesn't even have to be low-carb.

my 3 chickens have deep and complex social dynamics all while being able to pinpoint grains of quinoa off the ground faster than a robot while being able to spot the faintest outline of the tiniest potential threatening hawk 2 miles away in the sky, fully discerned from various crows flying around that don't phase them at all. their little brains are processing far more than me.

Pack it in boys! We've got one layer of abstraction here! Nothing to see here. It's not like the vast majority of "above board" companies don't have multiple layers of foreign shell companies and a dizzying array of abstraction.

in a sea of endless anecdotal reactions to this thoroughly-discussed situation, why, exactly, is this random blogger's lament of note? and why is the main image of a young woman's ass?

oh right. because this is blogspam.

boston dynamics is a govt psyop whose sole purpose as a company is to familiarize society with seeing robots before for the military & police industrial complex uses them to control us.

it's quite literally succeeding at it in front of our faces.

this is why their core product is video demos laced with cynical terror disguised as humorous pop culture references.
