Copyright issues aside, can we talk about how this implies accurate recall of an image from a never before achievable data compression ratio? If these models can actually recall the images they have been fed this could be a quantum leap in compression technology.

Vehicle design prioritizing pedestrian survivability is beneficial regardless of urban design, though admittedly an optimal design will depend on median speed of the vehicle.in pedestrian areas.

Return to retro 1940s rounded truck hoods is honestly an inevitable design shift at some point, as fashion always cycles, but the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency standards are against it.

Would cattle scoop style front ends save lives? The point would need to be crumply plastic for auto collisions, but i wonder if designing for deflection would legitimately benefit pedestrian collision survivability.

Accidentally nailed it.

Ugh, yeah, I fought aurocorrect over it and lost in the end it looks like. Got it fixed up now.

Alibaba in some ways.

Nasreddin Hoca is the most popular Turkish folk hero

Anansi the Spider is a great trickster folklore character from the Akan in Ghana. I loved these stories as a kid and had a great book on tape.

Can't go wrong with this list:

You said the level of effort can't be matched. It certainly can by the same man.

To build on this, it would be accurate to say that Anarchy is the principle upon which the technologies of Anarchism are built. Rather than a political system, which inherently function through obligation of participation or subjugation, the technologies of anarchism are participatory. That is to say anarchism provides methodologies of engagement between individuals and groups to achieve outcomes without obligation or subjugation which are imposed by the system, replacing those attributes of hierarchy instead with consent, participation, and consensus which are fundamentally voluntary and opt-in in nature.

Another way to say this is that Political Systems are means by which a group forces rules upon individuals, while Anarchism is a set of methods by which individuals can perform actions as groups.

One has to wonder if they just split off adult content into a separate platform using the same Amazon logins, and including cross-platform notifications one way from the twitch site to the adult site whether it would solve both their cash flow and advertising problem.

Or you know... Peter Jackson again.

Maybe a Swiss Franc or Japanese Yen peg might suit them better, if they could buy enough volume.

 

A system called Coscientist scours the Internet for instructions, then designs and executes experiments to synthesize molecules.

 

A former Los Angeles area Taco Bell employee is suing the company and a franchise owner after she claims a Christmas party at the fast-food restaurant descended into a drunken mess that included open sex.

 

I am an avid fan of Science Fiction, and I have a feeling I am not the only one here. I just founded a new inclusive Magazine/Community for sharing and discussion of all things SciFi.

Does anyone have a good source for digitized comics in bulk? I'm tired of paying the corpos for subscriptions and in a dreamworld I'd find the whole backlogs by publisher in decent resolution and format.

 

Hey all, I'm fairly new to the Fediverse.

I'm just wondering what is preventing mallard from being shared on Lemmy, K.Bin, etc. via images or other embeds? Is there some file vetting happening under the hood?

 

A platform to stream torrents rather than download them would be nice.

Also iis it possible to use PopcornTime with more than just the PopcornTime.xyz list?

 

Hello all, I have been dipping in and out of the Fediverse for years now and am loving where the technology is now.

For about as long, I have been interested in building my own network/community for my professional area of activity (cannabis, hemp, and Natural produccts). I have seen many other attempts with few succeeding in the way I would like. One thing I think could really help anchor a nee community would be a steady flow of relevant content in specific dedicated community/magazines so that people can use the community as a source of news and comment on it.

To those ends I am wondering if anyone is aware of a tool that could take RSS feed subscriptions and generate posts from them into a fediverse platform, ideally Lemmy or K.Bin. In an ideal world this would include autosummarization, and posting of a link the the main article. To be clear I would like to run this on my own dedicated instance.

Anyone know of anything like this?
