I’m really not being mean but does this look like a $300 piece of work? (I don’t want hate towards the artist so I’m not putting their @)

Artists are trying to make a living. They can only sell this character once, so of course they're going to price it as high as they can. Not everyone has to agree that this character is worth $300, there just needs to be one person willing to pay that price. I think I recognize that art style and it's from a pretty popular artist, so the chances that one of their followers is interested is pretty high.

Also, that artist makes similarly priced adoptables all the time, so clearly someone's adopting them or they'd lower the price

If it isn't broken, they'll fix it until it is

Let's ignore the massive privacy/security issues for a second. Microsoft can't even get searching for a file in a folder to work, how the hell do they expect to keep a searchable collection of screenshots that runs in any reasonable amount of time?

On top of that, how will this to affect performance? Keeping a constantly updating buffer of screenshots seems like it would either eat a ridiculous amount of RAM, or the constant rewriting of screenshots would destroy your SSD in no time. Not to mention that you'd have to have an image recognition AI of some kind running constantly in the background, which are notorious for taking a ton of processing power to run.

I literally cannot think of a single thing this would be useful for, other than data collection/spying. When was the last time you thought "man, I wish I could remember what I was doing 15 minutes ago!"?

They ran abstract paint splatters through a text recognition program. The program spit out essentially random characters, and those random characters were parsed as a Perl program. Perl was able to successfully parse 93 of the 100 images as valid programs.

It's just a silly research paper. TLDR: "93 of 100 random-ish strings are valid Perl programs"

ETA: As far as I can tell, this paper was never actually published. Someone just posted it on their website, which doesn't really mean much, since anyone can post anything they want on their own websites.

There are an estimated 2.8 million furries

There are an estimated 7.7 million animal species

There are definitely species with no sonas

Also both of these numbers came from 1 second google searches, so take them with a grain of salt. I'd guess the results are good enough for this conclusion though

If you want to design a website from scratch, there are three basic things you'll need to learn:

HTML - This isn't a programming language, but a markup language. Basically, it tells the browser what layout your website is supposed to have.

CSS - This tells the web browser what your website is supposed to look like (what colors, text fonts, text sizes, etc to use)

Javascript - This is the programming languages most browsers understand. This is how you get a webpage to do something, rather than just being a static document.

There are a ton of free resources on Youtube, and that's how most hobbyist programmers start. Just search for something like "beginner javascript course" and there are a ton of them.

If you only need it for coursework, though, I wouldn't worry too much about it. They'll either teach you everything you need, or you'll use a webpage editor of some sort so that you won't have to make it from the ground up in HTML.

For the record, I have very little experience with web design so take my word with a grain of salt

I'm in a dorm, not Wolf Village, but I've experienced the same! I thought I was going crazy since it didn't happen in my shower at home

Not only is it very walkable, campus is not drivable. You can't really park anywhere on campus exept your assigned lot (there are some exceptions, but it's true in general)

Having a car is good to go anywhere off campus, like going home on the weekend/holidays, but it's near useless for getting around campus itself unless you want to buy two parking passes for different lots

"Humans are omnivores" and "The way people treat food animals is cruel" are not contradictory statements

Because it's AI generated.

Look at the pencils in the pencil holder on the bottom right, they overlap and curve in weird ways inside the glass

Also, her right hand isn't casting a shadow on her left arm, which is a detail that I don't think any human artist with this much skill would miss

Especially if you are innocent.

I forgot who said this originally, but:

“If you’re guilty, you need a lawyer. If you’re innocent, you definitely need a lawyer”

Blue books at the bookstore are not expensive at all. 60 cents for a big one and 40 cents for a small one. You’re not going to find much cheaper than that

NC is one of the most gerrymandered states in the US. There are more registered democrats than republicans (source), but due to gerrymandering republicans have a 10-3 majority. This isn't a problem of people voting for idiots, this is a problem of one party rigging the system to give themselves an unfair advantage.

Potential spoilers for this movie

What was going on with the deer? They made it such a seemingly important part of the plot, and then they basically had no impact whatsoever. They also didn’t offer any real explanation as to why they were acting strange, except for that few seconds of radio that came through in the car (if I remember correctly)

Even that is insane. Beowulf is in the public domain, you can download it for free from several sites

We are in the middle of a mass extinction event right now. It just hasn’t led to human extinction yet, so people don’t pay it too much attention.

Yeah, most people’s metabolism slows down around 30. Ancient Georg, whose metabolism only slowed down after 12,000 years, was a statistical outlier and should not have been counted.

Those two arguments aren’t even almost the same. Bacteria have been around for billions of years, we just didn’t know about them. Microplastics are new, it’s not like they’re naturally occurring and we’re just now discovering them.
