Even going back to Windows 95, there's a lot more visible effort made to let basic users become power users than I notice today. For example there's a shortcut to Task Scheduler right in the taskbar, which takes you to a very simp

You could have a graduated dial to control the squirt gun. Off, then intermittent water squirts, then light, and finally heavy. You could put it on a stalk coming off the wheel area and have complete control of the wipers. With your GPT-4 s

It's funny how that happens sometimes. Reminds me of the United Nations' "Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples". The only four countries that didn't sign it initially were the ones that actually looked at

Thanks, that actually does an extremely good job on the "unicorn" search of filtering out all the AI unicorns.

It's everywhere. Google image results are already becoming heavily polluted with AI art (try searching something like "unicorn" for example). Someone posted a cool site here the other day that was a sort of automatically-gene

For newer emoji, if you want to know how it was originally supposed they might be used, you can look up the proposal to the Unicode Consortium for its inclusion.[1] Some of them are quite fun to read. Unfortunately Unicode's page is cu

Sorry, I misread your comment then. I thought you may have interpreted the site as giving suggestions to replace the word 'very' itself (e.g. 'extremely', 'hugely'...) and were suggesting it's better to re

Did you look at the site? It's not suggestions for replacing the word 'very' with an alternative word, it's suggestions for replacing the word after 'very' with a more intense synonym, so that 'very'

Yeah. Although I'm sure you can get closer to the phone photo in real life if you're somewhere very dark and near the poles.

I was in a place with fair amount of light pollution, and far from where the aurora would be strongest. These two photos taken with my camera, are approximately how it looked to my eyes after they'd adjusted to the dark: https:/&

Maybe so, but decisions aren't based only on what's cheapest. A lot of the objects destruct in a way that's more exciting than how they'd compress in reality.

I thought it was clearly 100% CGI, but there certainly is a mixture of opinions here.

And that one looks actually real, whereas I'm pretty sure the Apple ad is 100% CGI with no objects actually destroyed.

I'm pretty certain it's 100% CGI. As the other comment says, the cans would never crush flat before the piano starts to deform at all. Then when the front of the piano comes open, a pile of all the dampers just falls out, despite

by Nition 2y ago
I thought it was obvious that the entire ad is CGI. Nothing really breaks how it would. When the top of the piano breaks, all the dampers magically fall off.

Some common indicators (though this may have changed - I can only speak for ~7 years ago): - Weird view counts. Strangely consistent, random sudden dropoff to near zero views, etc. - No voice commentary. Can't steal videos from differe

A kind of similar thing happened with game key scammers. People will email the devs of hundreds of Steam games pretending to be a popular YouTuber, asking for keys for themselves and usually a few extra "for a giveaway". If they g

I don't know any of the context around that tweet, but The Onion has obviously chosen the most innocent, blameless celebrity they could think of to make sure it's a clear joke to everyone, right? Like finding the skinniest person

It all kind of reaches an apotheosis when the interviewer makes the second big red pull quote one from their questions, instead of one from the author's answers. I couldn't believe it, I had to double check!

Early in 2038, the AI apocalypse begins and all of humanity is powerless to stop it for six days until Unix time rolls over and the AI serendipitously crashes.

Duvets are really warm, good in winter for cold houses without good insulation. Often they're as warm as three or four or even five woolen blankets, but much lighter. Four blankets on top of you is heavy . I find them annoying in hote

If green or "no data" areas randomly turn red sometimes, I'd expect to see them elsewhere in the world sometimes on different days as well. But I've checked every day that's available and I never see them appear in
