I’ve heard the explanation being that it’s a defense against treating dead bodies as alive and spending resources on them at a primal level. Just imagining when we first developed empathy and tried at length to care for those who we lost and evolution needed us to focus on the live ones.
This is technically AI-driven, but not the same tech as all the image generators you see. This is an implementation of Style Transfer which came out years before OpenAI was even really on the map.
This is also the origin of “saved by the bell”, if I’m not mistaken.
The difference being Facebook was buying an already up and coming, clearly successful business idea. Here, they’re buying a YouTube channel with basically no subscribers. So yeah, one sounds like a business decision. The other is delusions of someone who doesn’t know how to spend investor money.
Believe it or not, you can even be a fan of a team in a place you’ve never lived. The rules are made up and the points don’t matter.
There’s something poetic in that you’d be hard-pressed to find a public model that allows you to edit it back.
Props to finding the original font I used.
I’ve bounced around for nearly 15 years in the world of Linux. Some of the ones I’ve used over the years:
The one I use currently is EndeavorOS. I landed on it because it’s been the most reliable and consistent for me personally at running games out of the box without extra configuration.
It’s one of the things I think more dishes should disclaim as an ingredient. It’s not that I’m allergic, but I’d rather not waste a burrito by taking a bite and realize I’m not going to be able to stomach the rest of the meal.
I keep one on my desk just for this reference :)
My older sisters both had several games before I got one for myself. I think the first one that was actually mine wasn’t until Burnout 3 when we got a PS2. All the PS1 games were hand-me-downs.
That was also like half the YouTube comments lol. I noticed it too.
This video dives into this topic particularly well. It’s still best to ask their individual preference, but this gave me some perspective I didn’t have before: https://youtu.be/kh88fVP2FWQ
That’s too bad. I’ve not played the sequel, but this is one of the only games I played on mobile first and later on desktop. It’s honestly a great way to kill a couple hours.
I remember when there was an Unreal Tournament beta in development that they canned the moment ForkKnife popped off. I’m still sour they stole what might have been a great modern follow-up to my beloved UT2004 (UT3 doesn’t count 😠)
For anyone looking into this, I recommend picking up a “network appliance” PC. They’re low-spec, often fanless, and come with 4 Ethernet ports. You can often get them for roughly the same price as a router. You will need to provide your own WiFi AP with this method.
This alone is enough to convince me that we have life spread across the universe. I’ve always found the thought that we’re on the only planet in the entire universe to support life to be incredibly selfish. There’s no way we’re that special.
It’s weird seeing a breakdown of the character that I got my username from.
