Probably they find net zero (minus cost of hiring musicians) preferred over paying out a moderate income to actual artists. Capitalism at its finest.

- Comment on oh, between 57th and 58th? thank you!! 8 months ago:
It’s where 58th Ave meets 58th Pl. If you hit 58th Rd, turn right on 58th St because you’ve gone too far.

Vine was started in early 2013 and in mid to late 2012, this video was popular: m.youtube.com/watch?v=dechvhb0Meo
That’s about six months of true vertical video hate before the war was lost.

And there’s 3 billion Facebook users which means there must be trillions of companies spying on them! Crazy when you don’t think about it.

- Comment on Seek relief 1 year ago:
Absolutely, the risks of addiction are monumentally different and should not be conflate. That said, my sister definitely did get addicted to Advil in her teens. On the other hand, I haven’t had an Advil in over ten years and in that time have only experienced a handful of headaches, each only lasting a few minutes. Chances are, I’m just very lucky. But there’s also a good chance that if I resorted to Advil before meditation and hydration, my luck would run out more frequently. YMMV.

They literally invented a specialized ball washer for this purpose. Any golfer would know this.

Just saw it for the first time a couple days ago. Beautiful film. Been keeping a running list of what age I should show Ghibli movies to my niece. I put this one at 13. She turns 4 soon, which I think is a good age to start her with Ponyo.
- Comment on Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9? 1 year ago:
The video seems a bit misleading in this context. It looks fine for what it is, but I don’t think they have accomplished what OP is describing. They’ve cherrypicked some still shots, used AI to add to the top and bottom of a individual frames, and then gave the shot a slight zoom to create the illusion of motion.
I don’t think the person who made the content was trying to be disingenuous, just pointing out that we’re still a long ways from convincingly filling in missing data like this for videos where the AI has to understand things like camera moves and object permanence. Still cool, though.

- Comment on No evidence that UFOs are aliens — NASA attempts to make conversations about aerial phenomena more scientific 1 year ago:
Doesn’t sound dismissive to my ear. Sounds like they believe nhi are likely out there, but our attention is being maliciously diverted by the classical specter of “little green men” for the purposes of politics and control. That’s my read, anyway.
- Comment on Is Netflix's One Piece good? 1 year ago:
12-season plan, wow. I was thinking it would take them about 8 seasons to get to current if they merge some of the smaller arcs (e.g. Skypiea and Thriller Bark) into adjacent sagas. Makes me wonder if the 12-season plan includes the final (as of yet unseen) saga. If not, they must really be planning on giving each saga a full retelling with its own season. Hope they get to complete the series!
