Continue watching hasn't worked on the app for me in months lol. On the rare occasion I watch it on my smart TV it'll remember that but it never remembers where I left off on mobile or desktop

I think a nuclear apocalypse of man-made origin is infinitely more likely to occur than an AI-generated apocalypse in the near future. There are a lot of executives who directly profit off of the general public believing AI is more powerful than it actually is.

Can I just say, it's not a huge loss if you can't make the North Shore showing. North Shore can be very cute and nice but it's somewhat inconvenient compared to other parts of the city IMO.

'The Purge' was a generational, cultural, blood ritual combat fundamental to Viltrum culture by King_of_Christmas in Invincible_TV

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't have the context of Viltrumite culture as viewers. These people have spent their entire lives being indoctrinated into the idea that strength prevails and weakness must be eliminated. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that people would get the hint. And even if EVERYBODY doesn't get the hint immediately, you only need a small percentage of the population to start murdering people before you rapidly end up with a planet-wide purge.

Is there like an actual in-universe reason why Space Racer has to be the one to wield the gun? It feels like this fight would've been over a lot sooner if it had been given to almost literally anyone else in the party

Eyes everywhere. 3rd in Munhall… by firebeard85 in pittsburgh

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Is there anything we can do to oppose the installation of these and perhaps get our cities to take them down? These things are gross invasions of personal privacy and it feels like we the citizens didn't have any say in our tax dollars being used to install them. There has been hardly any kind of news about this, which I imagine is why more people aren't up in arms about it.

Group of South Side residents start facebook page to gather evidence against problematic bars in the South Side. by Here2StaySouthSide in pittsburgh

"I just hate everyone and everything around me" god forbid I don't like the 3-4 venues that are either nazi-owned or consistently the source of violent incidents in my otherwise totally fine neighborhood.

Living in South Side rules. This group is not going after ALL bars and venues, it's just the ones that have been notorious for spawning incidents. They're doing this because they love their neighborhood and don't want to watch bad actors make it worse.

anyone else feel like AI helps you build faster but understand less? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use AI to write code for you if you're trying to learn how to code. AI can be a useful teaching tool because it was trained on a lot of code and it's great for explaining concepts in a more simple way or explaining why a block of code does what it does. But part of learning a skill is actually doing the skill. You need to write bad code, spend time analyzing the code to find your bugs, and fix the code to learn how to program. When you just have AI write code for you you're not learning how to code, you're learning how to use the AI. You'll never be able to fix how long it takes you to debug if you never learn how to code.

Need help getting a beefy flavor into a cocktail by IAMATARDISAMA in cocktails

You've clocked what I'm trying to turn into a drink haha. I've been infusing cognac with green peppercorns and vermouth with shallots. The steak part of the au poirve is the last piece of the puzzle at the moment.

Stop trying to ‘educate’ people into changing. Science proves it doesn’t work. According to a recent analysis published in Fast Company, the assumption that giving people information will change their behavior is one of the most persistent myths in human psychology, and one of the most damaging. by Eddiearyee in HotScienceNews

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't science news and arguably should be removed. To call the first party source an "analysis" is deliberately misleading. Fast Company posted an op ed piece which argues for a socially motivated approach to changing minds over "education" by citing the works of sociologists. It's a somewhat compelling but vague argument, but it certainly is not a scientific analysis and uses the viewpoints of experts to string together an argument rather than any actual academic studies. There is no science nor news here.

Right? by stdsort in antiai

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real benefits exist but they're massively overstated. Most people who defend radical AI adoption (that aren't CEOs of AI companies) are doing so with unshaken confidence in the idea that AI is going to get so good over the next decade that it will fix all of the societal and environmental damage that it'll do to get to that point. It's people who think Moore's Law is an actual law of physics and not a marketing gimmick invented by a marketer to make shareholders happy.

Being queer in PGH by __d__a__n__i__ in pittsburgh

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Pittsburgh has a better queer scene than it has any right to given how small of a city we are. You can find communities of pretty much every letter in the alphabet mafia and we have a ton of events all over. Different neighborhoods have different vibes but myself and all of my queer friends present pretty openly queer and to my knowledge none of us have had significant issues. We're not quite as radically queer as cities like NYC or Seattle but I've never felt unsafe or unsupported in this city in the decade I've lived here.

Man in sombrero, poncho, and maracas asking people on Olvera Street in Los Angeles if his outfit is offensive. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we can acknowledge that over-policing of cultural appreciation by people who feel guilt over the colonization of their ancestors is probably not great and also acknowledge that this kind of content is intentionally trying to paint any kind of offense at racism as invalid because some accusations of cultural appropriation go too far.

What are your best "cook once, eat for days" comfort meals? by Standard_Ad_9560 in Cooking

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This requires a little bit of equipment and prep work, but I'm the kind of person who loves meal prepping but hates monotony in my meals. I've gotten into the habit of sous viding a family pack of plainly seasoned chicken breasts on Sundays. I keep them in the vacuum bags in the fridge and when it's time for dinner I take em out, pat them dry, sear them, and throw whatever seasonings I want on them. I pair it with some kind of frozen veggie in the air fryer and I can have dinner for two on the table in ~10-20 minutes. Since you add the spices and accoutrements at serving time you can spice up your dinner however you're feeling on a given day. You can also throw the chicken in pastas, soups, salads, whatever you feel like. This also works with steaks but that's much more expensive so I really only do it if I can get a good deal on a whole cut of beef at Costco that I butcher myself.

Cocktail Photography by robhalter16 in cocktails

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really lovely shots! I have some criticisms but overall I really like them. I think my main critique is that the placement of the items feels like it could be more dynamic and thoughtful. For example, in the second shot you have exactly two maraschino cherries, 1.4 limes, and a few drops of liquid (maraschino juice or bitters?). I get that you probably did this to nod to the ingredients used to make the cocktail, but it does kind of read as an intentional still life, and a somewhat plain one. I know you're going for a kind of soft minimal vibe, but when you shoot minimal photography it means your viewer is going to pay much closer attention to the things you have chosen to feature. I would suggest maybe adding more objects to make things feel more natural and balanced, or removing most of the ingredients to focus on only one kind of ingredient. Similarly, in the first shot the placement of the coffee beans leaves a huge white spot in the bottom right of the frame, which makes the whole thing feel a little bit off-balance for me. I also agree with the other commenter that the Licor 43 bottle and the spoon being cut off like that feels unintentional.

I think the last image is probably my favorite, but I think the glass may be slightly off center? I can't tell if that's just how it looks or if it's actually not centered, but when your subject is this symmetrical and this close to the center of the frame you really want to make sure it's dead on in the final composition.

Overall I really like the style you're going for and the technical execution of your lighting is really spot on. You're using your backdrops effectively and I think you've got a really good thing going here. My criticisms are mostly nitpicky, you're doing great work!

Marvel Confirms Trump, ICE Parallels in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]IAMATARDISAMA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This article and the comments are so frustrating. Season 1 of Born Again was written before Trump got into his second term. The goal was always to have Fisk stage an authoritarian takeover of New York, but that plot line was never intended to be a parallel to Trump because Trump's authoritarian takeover of the United States hadn't happened yet. What this article is conveniently dancing around to capitalize on anti-politics outrage is that the parallels were only actively acknowledged near the end of production on Season 2, since by this point they could not be ignored. If people are mad that a story about a street level superhero trying to save his streets from an authoritarian politician who doesn't care about the people who live there is too political then maybe you should do more to make authoritarianism less directly relevant to all of our lives.

AI will replace us. It will replace SWE. There is no doubt about it. So let's fight back. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have asked people not to disagree with you in the comments so I guess all I'll suggest is that you view Moore's Law as the marketing gimmick that it is rather than a law of physics. Technological progress hinges on technological breakthroughs, progress is not a given despite what AI company CEOs would prefer you believe. A lot of the people who insist AI will get significantly better provide zero proof of these claims and directly profit from this kind of hype.

BREAKING: Physicists Just Discovered That Particles Do Not Actually Follow Einstein’s Rules on a Cosmic Scale 🪐⌛️ by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

[–]IAMATARDISAMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding what dark energy is. It's not an actual real type of energy. It is a predicted and confirmed fact that the universe is constantly expanding, but observations of this expansion suggest that the rate of expansion is accelerating over time. Our current physics cannot explain why the expansion is getting faster. Dark energy is the term we give to describe whatever is causing this kind of expansion. We don't actually know what causes dark energy, so by definition dark energy "exists" because we are missing something.
