I have not yet, because my uncle hasn't scanned those photos yet. I have colorized the pictures of my grandmother as a child, and some previously unmentioned ones of the farm my grandfather grew up on. I've also colorized some pho

What does the existence of a color photograph of my grandmother as an old woman have to do with my desire to colorize a grayscale photo of her as a child? Or colorize the photos of her wedding? It's a very strange argument to make: the

There exist plenty of reasons to colorize grayscale photos in 2026. * a huge corpus of historical imagery * cheaper grayscale cameras + post processing will surely enable all sorts of uses we haven't imagined yet. * a lower power CCD a

What do you mean? There's some problem with the old english word for "you two"? When did dual forms become problematic?

Fair enough, I didn't mean to criticize your work in any way, or even buy into a criticism of it. I was really just pointing out to GP that their "or" was actually an "and".

Just FYI... There's an enormous difference between having no sympathy for an idea and having no sympathy for a person.

Why would I agree to such a stupid position? Here in the us we could swap acres of corn used only for ethanol production for acres of solar panels that produce a 100x more power annually.

Worry is not an action to making something better. People will take actions when the threat is against their livelihood, health and homes, particularly when there is no action being taken on their behalf. Their risk assessment may be differ

Wondering why people might want to resist their lives becoming worse at all just so some assholes can gloat about how much richer they became is literally the same as asking why they can't just eat cake. Thinking something should be do

Well in the US you get healthcare from a job (either directly in the form of insurance or indirectly in the form the money to pay for healthcare). If the robot takes your job, it takes your healthcare too. You know this, stop pretending oth

Ty for the info. This is interesting and provides a lot of things I can go down rabbit holes looking into.

Often you don't even need seeds from neighboring land. The soil that remains often still has seeds sitting dormant waiting for conditions to return to healthy.

Why would you want a content delivery network for uncachable content? Literally the point of CDN is to cache content and deliver it. Granted cloudflare also does DDOS protection, and that makes sense for an API. For that you could do some D

Well, one good reason is that a person who generally doesn't "swear" can then choose to use them very effectively when the situation warrants. If you always go to strongest words when mild ones will do, you're out of thi
