  I actually just learned this recently, but dinosaurs differ from reptiles in that dinosaurs have legs that are under their bodies whereas reptiles have legs that splay out to the side. So all mammals, and birds, with legs directly under their bodies are probably more closely related to dinosaurs then reptiles.

  I don't get it, but I assume there's some obscure historical or philosophical joke going on here. Can someone explain?

  Or maybe it's "read" as in "read his book" and the drag term "read him for filth" lol I hope it's that one

  One place I worked at recently was still using Node version 8. Running npm install would give me a mini heart attack... Like 400+ critical vulnerabilities, it was several thousand vulnerabilities all around.

  Reminds me of an early application of AI where scientists were training an AI to tell the difference between a wolf and a dog. It got really good at it in the training data, but it wasn't working correctly in actual application. So they got the AI to give them a heatmap of which pixels it was using more than any other to determine if a canine is a dog or a wolf and they discovered that the AI wasn't even looking at the animal, it was looking at the surrounding environment. If there was snow on the ground, it said "wolf", otherwise it said "dog".

  I'm not super familiar with VLC but I asked a chatbot, does this help at all?

  1. Open your video with VLC.
  2. Navigate to the scene that you want to capture. You can use VLC’s frame-by-frame feature to access a specific frame in your video.
  3. Capture the screenshot by pressing Shift+S (Windows and Linux) or Command+Alt+S (Mac).
  4. Alternatively, from VLC’s menu bar, select Video > Take Snapshot.
  
  If you’d like to use advanced controls to capture the screenshot, then from VLC’s menu bar, select View > Advanced Controls to enable those controls. Then, in VLC’s bottom-left corner, click the camera icon to take a snapshot1.
  
  Your screenshot is now captured and saved in a folder on your computer. The default location for the screenshots is as follows:
  
  1. Windows: C:\\Users\\username\\Pictures
  2. Mac: Desktop/
  3. Linux: ~/Pictures
  
  If you’d like to change where VLC stores your screenshots, or you’d like to change the file format, then select Tools > Preferences from VLC’s menu bar. On the “Simple Preferences” window that opens, select the “Video” tab. To change the default screenshot directory, then in the “Video Snapshots” section, click “Browse” next to “Directory.” Then, choose the new folder that you want to set as the default for your screenshots. If you’d like to use a different image format (the default is PNG) for your snapshots, then click the “Format” drop-down menu and choose a new format. Your options include PNG, JPG, and TIFF. After you’ve made the changes, at the bottom of the “Simple Preferences” window, click “Save” to save your changes.
