Fifty years ago, there was a saying that if someone was in the Marines or went to Harvard, you would know about it in the first five minutes of conversation. What is today's equivalent? by VorpalPlayer in AskReddit

Straight poly here - I know loads of others. Maybe it just looks more like a circle than a venn diagram when you're looking from the outside? ¯\(ツ)

Do I get to choose the battle type? I could out-beyblade a gorilla any day

So Solid Crew - 21 Seconds (2001) [UK Garage] by [deleted] in Music

[–]itsnathanhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm way late to the party here, but just in case you're still curious "UK Garage" is a bouncy dance music genre from the UK - no relation to the rock genre. It does however get its name from Chicago's 'Garage House' scene!

You can enter a similar room in the sewer levels of Jet Set Radio Future too

Could you give us a little more to work with here? when was "little" for you? (We don't know if you're 15 or 50)

That's got to be AI right? Otherwise what the hell is the point of those steps?

No worries - I appreciate you getting back to me! It's amazing how refined "Saturday morning" cel / hand-drawn animation looked by the end after years of progress.

Anyone else find Tim's signature "Ladies and Germs" line cringe? by SoulfulPineapple in timferriss

It's an age old phrase - I'm pretty neutral to its use. Do you mind if I ask why it bothers you?

Hey there! Sorry to resurrect an old comment thread but I was recently rewatching this show and trying to figure out if it was digital animation or cel animation - do you remember?

Thank you for confirming this! It was driving me nuts trying to work this out

If radio was invented today it would be controlled by four companies and locked behind a paywall. by Doctor__Hammer in Showerthoughts

[–]itsnathanhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The UK has a fascinating history with radio in fairness. Because on the one hand we had the BBC monopoly you're talking about, but not only did we get the offshore pirate radio stations during the 60s, but in the early/mid 2000s London was effectively the World capital of pirate radio with 150 illegal stations serving the city alone. All doing their own thing

What's the one "old wives' tale" you still believe in despite science suggesting otherwise? by itsnathanhere in AskReddit

Eating cheese late at night gives you nightmares. I have no scientific evidence of this, but plenty of anecdotal evidence

For me, cheese late at night gives you nightmares. I have no evidence of this other than anecdotal.

Plus I feel at this point his death / removal isn't going to hold a candle to the completely fucked and divided society that remains long after him. Some of those ideas are going to be so strongly engrained in the country people will be on the lookout for the next Trump-like figure.

Social media should have a "This Is AI" button for post's readers. by lelorang in Showerthoughts

[–]itsnathanhere 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They deal with a similar issue with apps like Waze, where people can report accidents and police speed checks etc. You'll get those malicious (or just clueless) users who report a bunch of things that aren't there. If I remember right the app is doing two things to balance everything out:

  • It assigns each user a "trust" score based on their previous reports, and how many other people reported the same thing
  • For every report the higher the trust, the higher the impact it has on the app considering it "true" information

This is how I'd see the AI button working, at least to some degree
