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.

Just because you are fast doesn't mean you can see all around you at all times. In any contact sport contact is eventually inevitable, because they almost always involve you running at people at some point.

Most depections of telekinesis do not exert an opposing force on the user, in other words the force is exerted in an arbitrary vector from an arbitrary point in space. That means you could compress a hole in the ground under you but not levitate at all because the force doesn't act on your body. If it did act on your body lifting 5000 lb would crush your bones to dust.

As other people have pointed out a better option is the "magic carpet ride" or more desirable "flying motocycle" angle, where you Exert force on an object and it moves you as it normally would when pushed or pulled by any other force. I personally like the "infinite parasailing/paragliding" angle as it is possible to do without immediately being noticeable as strange by the public, and it requires less mental effort since you are still using lift for upforce.

Contact sports woth super speed is not a good idea unless you have very enhanced durability. The likelihood you will end up with brain damage or accidentally badly injure someone else and yourself is way too high. Track and field is clearly the way to go.

That's Telekinesis Kyle!

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.

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:

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

 

Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in 2019, was known to associate with powerful figures. Now a list of 170 associates of Epstein will be made public after being sealed by the court in previous trials.

 

When we think of sources of pollution or industries responsible, military conflict isn't first to come to mind, but regions where such conflicts are ongoing hist some of the most accute and uncontrolled pollution events in the world. Study if these impacts are set to be the focus of the new "Conflict and Environment Academic Network (CEAN)".

 

Not my video, but a cool review of a balkan pelican conservation project:

I went to Bulgaria to join conservation project of Dalmatian pelicans. It's international effort to reduce threats and improve their habitat in Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria & Greece.

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.

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?
