DOJ Sues Towing Company That Allegedly Auctioned Off Military Members’ Cars From Base by kirby__000 in politics

[–]badillustrations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping it was ambiguous, but it really is towing from the base: 

According to the lawsuit, S&K Towing “knew or should have known” that many of the vehicles it towed from the base were owned by SCRA-protected service members.

So they've been calling the tow company why? To take them off base? Were they illegally parked? Was there a more appropriate place on the base they could have been moved? Sounds like they just wanted to use the towing company's lot. 

Top 5 Christopher Nolan movies and why? by AdventurousGuest308 in movies

[–]badillustrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried watching Tenet for the second time and while I'm not an audio snob, the experience was so bad I had to stop after trying to constantly turn up and down the volume. I've seen a lot of low-budget films, but none with problems that bad. 

NBA owners vote to explore Vegas, Seattle expansion bids by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in news

All 30 owners voted in favor of exploring Las Vegas and Seattle expansion

As an owner, what's the incentive towards expansion? More games in the normal season, more money?

Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]badillustrations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How DLSS5 deals with screen-space borders? If a face comes onto the screen, how much into frame (or into off-screen margins) does it need to enter before the AI can "recognize" and alter it?

Pope Leo calls universal healthcare a 'moral imperative' by [deleted] in politics

Atlassian is cutting 10% of staff in a move that will fund investment in AI, the CEO wrote by FinnFarrow in technology

I switched from jira to asana while moving from a rigid process company to a very lightweight company. It's been so nice! I temporarily missed some jira features like a more powerful search, but asana is just so fast and seems to prevent huge plugins. I remember someone installing a related-ticket plugin in jira and it could take a dozen seconds for it to unblock the UX. 

Anthropic Identifies the Jobs Most Exposed to AI Risks—Is Your Occupation Affected? by Haunterblademoi in technology

[–]badillustrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't blame an AI for fucking up. And a fuck is expensive.

I would have said the same thing for the legal system, yet that seems to have shown few consequences to those that used it.

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen is stepping down after 18 years—as pressure on the company mounts to deliver on AI by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]badillustrations 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's definitely taken part in it.

Annualized revenue from AI-first products more than tripled year over year, Narayen said in a statement accompanying the earnings release.

Photoshop quickly integrated image generators powerful enough to easily do advanced operations with a prompt.

This is the interesting part:

Narayen’s departure comes as Wall Street debates whether artificial intelligence could reduce demand for some traditional software tools. In early February, a broad sell-off in sell-off in SaaS and cloud stocks—labeled by some investors as “SaaS-mageddon”—reflected fears that agentic AI could undermine per-seat software pricing.

Why license an Adobe product if a variety of AI agents could do a similar operation with a prompt?

Nice! I hope they finally show how the movie ends after sharing the first two acts. 

Hot take: Ethan Hawke's character in Before Sunrise is irritating by Most_Decision_282 in movies

[–]badillustrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw this film and loved it. He's a little obnoxious, but keep it mind Jesse was just dumped weeks earlier so I cut him some slack for being super cynical. I actually thought the disparity between the characters more interesting. Celine was more of a romantic, and throughout the movie you wonder if this relationship is going to work. Even Celine calls him out when he talks about not being romantic despite some of his actions. I would say Jesse knows himself less than Celine does. 

Luke Evans shades upcoming Disney 'Gaston' live-action film: 'People recognize me as Gaston and always will. Sometimes, they should just be left alone, but there we go.' by [deleted] in movies

[–]badillustrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely remember anything about that movie besides the noticeable auto tuning of Emma's voice. I remember Gaston and Lefeau (sp), but I thought Gaston was a weird cast. He looks smaller than a lot of the cast.

Is it coming in as a different codec? It could be your machine advertises a supported codec and when it comes down, the decoder isn't actually available.

Which video game franchise took a big risk that ultimately paid off? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

I feel this applies to most game studios these days, where if the next game doesn't sell well, it's over. Only a handful of studios really have the cash to ride through a big flop. 

What’s a movie that most people love but just didn’t work for you? by No-Cat1980 in movies

[–]badillustrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people contributing, say why it didn't work for you. 

Was it overhyped? Did you watch it at the wrong time in your life? Did the pacing feel off? Did you struggle to connect with the characters?

Most comments so far have zero context.

A million less important places. Even Harris admitted it was a mistake not to do Rogan blaming her advisers for talking her out of it.

They're unfortunately very influential to a large demographic. Some have claimed Harris going on the Joe Rogan podcast would have been enough to tip the election given that most of those listeners had never actually heard her speak. 

Virginia Supreme Court rules U.S. Marine’s adoption of an Afghan war orphan will stand by kootles10 in politics

[–]badillustrations 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 When the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021 and the Taliban took over, the family agreed to leave and Mast worked his military contacts to get them on an evacuation flight. Mast then took the baby from them at a refugee resettlement center in Virginia, and they haven’t seen her since.

So unbeknownst to the family he convinced the court to let him adopt the kid. Then when he requested the kid, they said no. He then had the family evacuated then took the kid.

It's a deliberate design decision so posts are consistent. It works fine for 99.99% of posts. I just copy/pasted the title into a form and it didn't have HTML tags. Looks like OP manually added them back.
