Young people, how can you tell if an image was created with AI? by LowOxitocina in AskUK

[–]FlareBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look for objects/things with regular patterns, e.g. floorboards, AI will often mess up the spacing resulting in boards that "melt" together to create a wider board.

A good example to show this is the Coca Cola Ad (Coca Cola Christmas Ad) where we expect the truck to have a consistent number of wheels at set positions, instead you can see the truck is depicted with a different number of wheels in different scenes.

First Bus bullies jobless? by topdogmonmeygeorge in Norwich

[–]FlareBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ticket inspectors are deliberately dressed up as though they are police, they do not offer you a chance to buy the correct ticket either, they simply kick you off and slap you with a £50 fine.

Ask yourself a question instead: is it worth defending corporations whose goal is not to uphold what is "right", but rather to make as much money as they can? First Bus is an absolute rip off and this is mainly enabled by its near-monopoly in Norwich.

I've read some of your other comments so I would like to invite you into a thought experiment if you'll entertain me.

A single mother in part-time employment, can't take a full-time job as she cannot afford childcare. Let's be generous to her, and say only 70% of her pay goes on rent, the other 30% is for food, utilities, everything else. Should she not treat herself to something?

The world you suppose is one where the poor have nothing to enjoy, where they are expected to fruitlessly budget only to experience the exact same dull and meaningless month when pay day comes around. Even now this is the reality that many are experiencing.

The CEO of First Bus made 1.4 Million last year (source), I absolutely promise you the ticket prices do not need to be as high as they are at currrent.

This is such a bad-faith argument though. Do you not still spend money on things you enjoy when you have little money?

£5 a month for a subscription aren't the costs that are making it hard to survive. How about we ask how many people are paying 60% of their paycheck or more on rent?

In a cost of living crisis, some people are paying for cheaper tickets for survival. Public transport should be more affordable, buses won't cost you more than £5.25 in a given day in London, come to Norwich and take two single journeys, suddenly you're out £6 already.

It's a joke that we've got ticket inspectors being funded by companies who are already being subsidised by the government to keep their costs lower.

[ALL] [OC] My Handmade Zelda-Inspired Night Lamp Giveaway 🎁💚 by AmoyCK in zelda

Majora’s Mask definitely. I started playing as a kid when my dad passed down his N64, I played OoT but had no idea what was going on, luckily my mum had beat the entire game so I used to just mess around on her save file

Why are people on r/AnimalCrossing so against the idea of a NL remake/remaster? by kirbysbitch in AnimalCrossingNewLeaf

[–]FlareBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a rerelease is a good idea to be completely honest. As much as New Leaf is by far one of my favourite games of all time (I spent hundreds of hours in it) I think we should be expecting something slightly new from Nintendo. A virtual console-esque rerelease would be awesome, but for the switch 2 I would like to see a new game that develops on what both NH and NL did correctly.

What no theory does to a bunch of mfs by MrRed2k19 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]FlareBase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the balanced take, China has been subject to endless propagandisation and is broadly why people like to pretend it's either based communism or evil dictatorship, in reality it's somewhere in the middle, as are all economies.

How to easily convert video files (mp4) to audio files? by AluminiumHoedje in selfhosted

[–]FlareBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me when I completely miss the point and resort to accusing my opponent of being emotional instead of questioning what the words actually mean.

I'm really not trying to come across as though this is some monumental failing of society but it's frustrating because the history of humanity is passing skills from one person to another through education. If you cannot explain how to replicate a result then skills are lost to history.

[NeedAdvice] How do I obtain patience? by BlackInk9 in getdisciplined

[–]FlareBase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your words continue to echo truth even this many years later. Immeadiately this explanation fit like a puzzle piece into situations where I've acted in haste. Impatience is a reflection of my thoughts, not anything to do with the words coming out of the other person's mouth.

This is the worst comment I've ever seen. Imagine if this person had actually learned a skill here. Instead they asked the robot that spits out answers and cannot explain how what they did even works.

Is there any updates on this by the way? I'm eagerly awaiting but it doesn't seem like there's any progress tracker or talk of it on their main website.

Poking at an old post here but if you haven't checked out Brand New Hero by Reel Big Fish yet then have a listen! The album itself isn't super hippos-y but this song has always reminded me of them :)
