  If you want software that analyses an image and produces tags that describe the image’s content, you want a combination of image recognition, image interpretation, text generation and a promp generator to link these three parts. There is no way that any single of these applications can be “lightweight”, not to speak of the combination.

  Just take them out 1–2 days before you consume them.

  They usually feed the mom, IIRC.

  Now include perclude and reclude! (Ok, I’m afraid English forgot to loot the last two from Latin’s pockets, after she robbed her in a dark alleyway)

  Only for the real thing. [Reenactors]m.youtube.com/watch?v=yZusqHYkVgU) don’t want to wreck their wrist and feet and use ropes for suspension and nails for show. A pretty damaging show, still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easter can't come soon enough. ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, they did use ropes, so this technique would work.

  I’m not entirely sure that there are no religious fanatics who reenact the crucifixion. Using ropes for fixation and putting nails through the center of the palm, they would avoid crippling their hands severely.

  Only problem – which year? They’ve got different lengths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just use the speed of light as base and measure the distance in time units (implying *c). 100 psc (lightpicoseconds) are a bit more than 1⅛ inch, 4 ~ 1 mm, 1 nsc (lightnanosecond) is 1 foot or 29.9 cm, 1 μsc (lightmicrosecond) ~ 299 m. Would be totally possible. Within city boundaries we should introduce a speedlimit of 1 pc (picolightspeed), pretty easy to implement.

  Come on, you are able to analize words! Fun is obviously fun, and ding is obviously an abbreviation for dingbats, so fun-ding is having fun with dingbats!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you were used to analog clocks, you’d read the remaining time just off the clock. As you would just read the time off it – no need for any translation or comparison, just one glimpse and you’d know it. For several decades this superiority of analog clocks was a main argument against the use of digital clocks. Digital clocks are more precise, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just a fancy way of commenting on the intended types, no static typing though.

  Python will happily execute:

  six: int = 6
  six = "Hello World!"

  IIRC, the current theory is that stars do not move apart, but that space itself expands, which generates the impression that they move apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do boycotts work?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, back in the day they successfully ousted Mr. Boycott by boycotting him. So at least the first boycott successfully worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump posted this in Truth.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They will. Autocrats love public applause, and what public applause is greater than a 90+ % vote? Or do you know of any autocracy that does not have a ritual of approval called elections?

  Well, granted, military dictatorships usually don’t do this election thing. With all this ICE buildup, Department of War renaming, declaring war on gangs while redifining the Venuzuelan government as gang, and this Chipocalypse stuff Trump is cosplaying more and more as an unhinged warlord. I’m afraid you might be right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump posted this in Truth.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Next US presidential elections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump posted this in Truth.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There will be elections. All autocrats love elections. Being reelected with 90+ % just feels too good to not have them.

  I stand corrected.

  Tell me more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea is basically just salad water.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea is basically just salad water.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Salad is called salad because it’s salted - it’s right there in the name. Salt is basically the only required ingredient, and it’s usually missing from tea. Furthermore, the stuff that is salted (and nowadays dressed) to become salad is usually fresh stuff, not dried and fermented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m afraid another form of governing rule would not change the exploitation of the environment, animals or people - humans always exploited the environment and animals regardless of the system of government or economics. We’d need a cultural shift from an individualistic self-centered culture to a culture that accepts our position as one part of a complex interconnected ecological and social network.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Farming has an far greater impact on the ecosystem. There is no way to live for humans without completely reshaping their environment. We evolved as an invasive species.

  If you’re moral argument to call for a boycott of honey is honey bee’s impact on the ecosystem rather than their enslavement and exploitation to humans, your only reasonable moral course of action is Fruitarianism using only fruits growing in the wild - basically an Orang Utan or Gorilla lifestyle. That choice has been made some 4-5 million years ago, when our ancesters became an invasive species in the savanna and began our first reshaping of ecosystems. Good luck reversing that choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad you asked. Fruitarians have an answer to that moral dilemma.

  It has to do with the exploitation of insects.
