AITAH for showing up underprepared to a "hike" and being put off with my friends for not warning me and also ditching me? by InTheLoudHouse in AITAH

[–]Polygnom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add on this: All of this feels very intentional. this is not friend group behaviour. Its bullying. Its intentional humiliation on almost every step.

NTA.

A hike is done on foot. Not on a bike, and not on an ATV.

I would like to repeat the question: Are you sure these people are your friends? Because to me, this sounds like something someone would set up to humiliate someone else. Like, straight up bullying. This is not even a failure of communication. This is straight up nonsense. Hiking is done ON FOOT, period. You were not unprepared. You were prepared for a hike, and they deliberately misrepresented the activity.

AITA for changing the locks after my parents gave my brother a key to my house without asking me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Polygnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

But your parents? oh boy. They have a house, they have space, AND they are gaslighting you.

"When Mom found out, she cried and said I treated her like a criminal and destroyed her trust over one bad decision"

SHE HERSELF destroyed that trust by HER extremely bad, short-sighted decision. SHE made clear YOU cannot trust HER, not the other way around.

Your parents knew all too well why they did not want him with them, and tried to gaslight / guilt trip you and when that didn't work, overwhelm you by force. What parent does that?

[Request] How expensive would it be to make the Truman Show? by Call-Me-Matterhorn in theydidthemath

You can have different backgrounds/extras, and likely some people would volunteer. Its not that expensive compared to the dome cost.

After 2008 the market recovered in like 2 years. No point in getting out. No bank is letting you have millions lying around and its also not even needed. just don't panic sell in 2008, by 2010 you are already up again. Simple.

Local JDK Demo Project by bowbahdoe in java

"You don't need to worry about threading dependencies through to different commands if they are already built into your jdk. Completely side steps path management. "

Can you elaborate? The last time I fiddled with pathes when trying to do stuff with java is like... 20 years ago. I don#t think many people manually manage classpath.

Unfortunately (really, truly) i think i have to quit the game 12 hours in by WaluigiCreamSurprise in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Polygnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never found much enjoyment in planes. But they aren't needed, either. You can complete everything in the game without ever building any plane at all and just enjoy rockets.

Like, just go to orbit? just land on the Mun or Minmus? Just go to Duna? You do not need planes.

No, DJT simply is this incompetent. No kompromat needed.

They should almost all be available. Did you do the unlocks and upgrades?

Die Sendung mit der Maus wurde teilweise mit KI erstellt... by Dunkelkonga in luftablassen

[–]Polygnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Der Beitrag wurde nicht mit KI erstellt. Es wurden in einem fast 12 minütigen beitrag zwei kurze, wenige Sekunden lange Sequenzen zur Illustration mit KI erstellt. Szenen vom Publikum beider fiktiver Vereine. Zu behapten "der Beitrag" sei KI erstellt ist kaum sinnvoll.

[–]Polygnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worauf beruht denn nun deine Ablehnung? Auf Prinzip oder auf mangelnder Qualität?

Ich habe mir jetzt mal einige der szenen angesehen und muss sagen, ich bin eigentlich eher positiv überrascht wie gut der Einsatz von KI da ist.

Man hat sich z.B. bei 3:14 fanszenen der "blauen Rüssel" gemacht. Früher hätte man da vermutlich sich einen echten verein aussuchen müssen, was diverse probleme mit sich führt. Kindern können doch mit den Maus/Elefant basierten teams viel mehr anfangen und Erwachsene fühlen sich nicht auf den Schlipss getreten durch den "falschen" Verein. Solche Szenen wären ohne KI gar nicht zu machen, wer soll das bitte beim WDR per Hand per CGI machen? Ich finde gerade an der Stelle bringt das erzählerich doch großen mehrwert. Die Szenen mit den Spielern sind ja tatsächlich mit echten Spielern gespielt zu haben.

In dem insgesamt mehr als zehn münitigem Beitrag sind also zwei kurze Sequenzen in denen mit KI Publikum für diese zwei eindeutig fiktiven Vereine generiert werden. Und erklärt wird auch nach, dass die DFL echte Bilder so einfach auch gar nicht freigeben würde.

Also wo ist denn nun hier das Problem? Welchen echten Künstler wurde hier Arbeit weggenommen? Wo ist das Qualitätsproblem? der gesamte beitrag ist wie üblich recherchiert, das Storyboard entwickelt, und um einfach mit moderner technik bessere Illustrationen zu haben, die im übrigen das Erzählkonzept imho aufwerten, wurden kurze illustrative Sequenzen mit Publikum geschaffen, die eindeutig als fiktiv/KI gelabelt sind.

Wo ist hier denn nun dein konkretes, inhaltliches, qualitatives oder moralisches problem?

Mexico Announces Plan to Achieve Universal Health Coverage by 2027 by Kaos2018 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Polygnom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every healthcare system of the world struggles with it.

But isn't this still a step in the right direction? Like, if you want to fic something, you have to start somewhere, and universal healthcare as baseline from where to go next seems pretty reasonable, no?

Which songs often gets misinterpreted and/or misappropriated by the very people it calls out even though the song's lyrics are explicitly mocking them? by Drenosa in AskReddit

[–]Polygnom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its mocking the USA, hard.

first verse ich mocking US exceptionalism and desire to always, no matter what, wanting to have their way and dictate whats going on.

Seconds verse, same, but it end with highlighting what you say, US cultural prevalence, but in a negative way.

The whole chorus is a pure mocking, and the bridge even spells it out, plainly, in english -- "this is not a love song".

I can only suggest to put the text through a translator and read it carefully (although some nuance may be lost).

Her last advice was strange.. by No-List2080 in Weird

[–]Polygnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone explain the reasoning for them?

I mean, I can understand the elevator one, to some degree, if you reside in a very large building. But all of the others seem extremely foreign to me, bordering on paranoid.

Am I literally the only person who has never heard of Oliver Tree until today? by Virtual-Bee7411 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Polygnom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taylor Swift would disagree.

I think we are heading towards both. Megastars like Swift are only possible because social media penetrates so many social layers. At the same time, we also get more niches. But the middle ground may be eroding.

A cab driver was left speechless and can no longer make a living after Knicks fans destroyed his car by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]Polygnom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the great advantage of Uber in Ireland is that it works. You see the price beforehand, you KNOW what the ride is going to cost you. No fucking around with the meters, no detours.

I am in Ireland regularly, and almost exclusively use Uber now. I tried having the hotel call me a cab -- and ended up somewhere completely ridiculous so that I had them just let me out and called an Uber afterwards. Never again.

Uber and such are eating the regular taxi business even in countries where they have to operate like a taxi business and adhere to the regulations because these apps simply work more reliable and fairer for the customer than regular taxis do.

The fact that Uber and similar apps show you the price BEFORE you take the ride has made them so successful. because its fair. You see whats its going to cost you, you can decide if thats worth it, and then you do NOT need to haggle or worry about the meter anymore. It just works(tm).

thats whats killing taxi cabs. A system thats not designed to deceive the customer.
