Reading about rue treasure fleet is wild:
The Chinese expeditionary fleet was heavily militarized and carried great amounts of treasures, which served to project Chinese power and wealth to the known world. They brought back many foreign ambassadors whose kings and rulers were willing to declare themselves tributaries of China. During the course of the voyages, they destroyed Chen Zuyi’s pirate fleet at Palembang, captured the Sinhalese Kotte kingdom of King Alakeshvara, and defeated the forces of the Semudera pretender Sekandar in northern Sumatra.

She’s wrong though, everything following the scientific method is science. The fact that you didn’t pay out of your ass to publicize your research doesn’t matter. Of course it reaches less people, but that’s a separate issue.

Why is this paper written like an opinion piece?
What will it take to make our undergraduate and graduate researchers, our postdoctoral interview candidates, our faculty and our academic leaders reflect local and global populations — and why should we bother?

Women can also be assholes, deal with it. And don’t gatekeep threads like this, it’s annoying and stupid.

- Comment on Video compositing without a green screen or blue screen – sodium vapor method 2 months ago:
I wonder if you can simply this by using a monochromatic IR (or UV) source instead of sodium vapor lamps and just filter out those light frequencies in software.

Probably until I get sick or die of old age.
I’ll probably do things like ransack my local library for book like the SAS handbook, plant identification, etc to bring with me, hijack a truck that’s already ready to go, load all useful stuff including a small backup car/motorbike and head for the sub-tropics somewhere to a forest next to a city.
- Comment on This is $87 worth of shopping. Please feel free to use the space below to critique my purchases 3 months ago:
Value wise it’s not very good: you could have made the sauces yourself, slice your own cheese, cut your own broccoli, make your own muffins if you really want to save, make your own mac and cheese, etc. Would save you probably 50%.
- Comment on Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (77F) outside. 5 months ago:
You’re talking to a guy living in Finland. I think it’s safe to say they know how to efficiently stay warm in winter.
- Comment on I'm using gpt4 on bing.com they call it copilot, i can only get it to generate images in 1024x1024 is there a way to get a higher resolution? 5 months ago:
Bing itself cannot upscale it or generate a higher resolution, it just can’t. Vast majority of ai generators can’t, by the way.
You can either Upscale it yourself using something like upscayl (www.upscayl.org) which is probably the easiest option, although not very customizable. Or learn to use something like comfyui (comfyanonymous.github.io/…/upscale_models/) for more control. And you can even generate images with comfyui.

- Comment on When characters in a cartoon start speaking a different language do they get someone else to do the line or does the voice actor learn the line on their own? 6 months ago:
Probably just the voice actors, most of the time the pronunciation sucks. Like in Oppenheimer where he suddenly talks Dutch, just complete gibberish and all the scientists are there smiling and nodding thinking “What an idiot, thinks he can learn a language in a few weeks”.
