  • It’s not AI.

    There’s one big tell that I don’t think AI is advanced enough to replicate.

    Op took this picture though a window that had multiple panes of glass. So there’s an echo of the image from the secondary reflections between the panes of glass.

    I also can’t spot and of the debris in the shot blending into itself. Everything seems to be complete objects.

    But that reflection? I’ve never seen AI do anything like that.

    In case anyone doesn’t quite see what’s going on here, the image is taken from inside (lights seem to be off from where the camera is), through thermal glass into a concrete window space, which is common for places that have basements so the window can serve as an emergency exit (even if you need to break it to get out)…

    Looks like there’s some kind of evergreen tree not far from where the window is, given the debris in the photo.

    Great shot OP.










  • I disagree.

    1. You already have a government space agency. Maybe give them more funding so they don’t have to rely on space-x to get their stuff into orbit?

    2. There’s a national telecom network already in place. It at least has the potential to be faster and more reliable, if it isn’t already… At least compared to low earth orbit satellite coverage.

    There’s no good reason to continue providing Elon or his companies with any government handouts. Pull that funding and give it to… I dunno, students who have more debt than homeowners with a mortgage… NASA… Literally anything that helps people?





  • For those curious, if you can get a European Windows product key, you can install the “N” version of Windows. Be warned, it only works with certain product keys

    The standard Windows installer should give the option of “Windows 10” or “Windows 10 N” (or similar). The N version is basically bloatware free out of the box…

    The regular version has a bunch of promos pre-installed, like candy crush, and other things that most people couldn’t give a shit about…

    Recently I’ve been playing a “fun” game with my work laptop where I’ll remove copilot, and a few days later it will appear again. Weeee. In that case, it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a policy in place to enable copilot on my works systems… I’m sure someone who works here, probably higher up the food chain than me, wants it enabled, and the ham fisted policy maker can’t create a policy just for those who want it, so everyone gets it because the bosses son Shane decided that he wants to see how much of his work can get done by AI so he can do even less while on the clock.






  • Does it really matter? It’s a shit looking vehicle that can’t drive in the rain if you don’t switch to carwash? Mode? I think?

    The vehicle has so many design oddities, so many manufacturing problems, and it’s associated to one of the least liked billionaires in recent memory, so much so that people in the general public go out of their way to vandalize the vehicle whenever the opportunity presents itself.

    What’s to like about it? Even if you don’t hate Elon, and don’t hate the look/design, the"truck" is a meme at best and a gigantic waste of resources.
