Distribution helps to preserve cultural artifacts. It's more likely for them to survive if they are backed up in different places. History has proven that copyright holders prefer cultural works to be lost than distributed without paym

Copyright law is incompatible with preservation of cultural artefacts.

If you're in prison for life it's not like there's anything better to do. They can't increase your sentence anyway.

He went into that embassy without an exit plan. What did he expect to happen? That everyone is going to forget about him if he sits there long enough or what? And he will be handed over to the USA sooner or later. The UK has already approve

Yes, his passport was revoked - but now he has another one and he's still in Russia. As far as I know Russian citizens can travel to other countries.

We definitely want more NATO military on our soil. It's the only thing that prevents a Russian invasion. NATO is more popular than ever. Nobody is saying that NATO is braindead now.

The creator of DOGE straight up told everyone that he created it as a joke. Ponzi schemes, on the other hand, are marketed as legitimate investments.

DOGE is a joke and anyone who thinks that it's a serious investment deserves to lose money. It's an idiot tax.

I think that those stories about him "being stranded" are bullshit and he always intended to flee to Russia. Flying to Berlin doesn't make sense. Germany is a NATO member and a US ally. He'd be extradited ASAP.

I'm pretty sure that's not nearly the worst thing the US military has done. Collateral damage happens in every war.

There are also a lot of countries that WANT U.S. soldiers in their territory to deter Russia, North Korea and China from invading them. Also the Libyan situation is a lot more complicated than that.

by zirgs 3y ago
You're digging up very old stuff. Other countries did far worse things back then. The USA isn't perfect, but it hasn't done anything nearly as bad as the Nazi Germany and the USSR.

1. Manning is already free. 2. Snowden fled to Russia 3. Assange hasn't even been to the USA yet and he imprisoned himself for almost a decade in that embassy.

Ross Ulbricht - the infamous Silk Road guy: 1. Arrested in 2013. 2. Sentenced in 2015. 3. First unsuccessful appeal in 2017. 4. The case reached the Supreme Court and was denied in 2018. So - 5 years. Fewer than Assange spent in the embassy

1. The government is not spying on you - that's a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory. 2. OK, the government is actually spying on you and here's why that's a good thing.

Assange is incoherent. Why would Sweden frame him for a rape that he didn't commit? Why would the USA need to get him extradited through Sweden if the UK can extradite him to the USA directly without any sort of fake criminal charges?

The Americans are so lucky that they only have to fear their own government. I don't fear my government. I fear the Russian government. It's very unlikely that my government is going to send me to a camp. But the Russians totally

We can read what some random Roman lawyers did 2000 years ago. But what did people who lived near the Baltic sea do at that time? We have no idea. They might as well have not existed at all as far as historians are concerned.

Checked midjourney discord - it still generates weird hands from time to time, but it's much better than before.

by zirgs 3y ago
Midjourney still straight up ignores prompts. From my experiments it seems that SD XL follows my promts much better.

by zirgs 3y ago
We'll probably need higher resolution models. SD 1.5 is 512x512 and it usually outputs deformed faces in full body shots simply because its resolution is too small. SD XL is 1024x1024 and that no longer happens there. We'll see ho

Is there any model that doesn't output deformed hands?

Lego was expensive during my childhood as well. There's a reason why there were lots of Lego knock-off brick sets that weren't fully compatible (similar size, but wrong tolerances - so they didn't stick together very well) wi
