Spacing constraints led to accidental French in "Reset_Contage~~m~~"

And yet never implemented! Good guy Sony getting a patent so nobody else will do this

I once heard a professor of physics tell us that paradoxes were just questions posed incorrectly (paraphrasing since we weren't speaking English, sorry if I wrote it in a confusing way) and I've never stopped thinking about it that way

I'm sure this is true, but the post is from 2020, predating most people's concerns about AI data scraping.

Which just goes to show how most people are slow to catch on, since the idea of scraping social media for AI training has been around since Charles Babbage proposed it in a reddit post in 1846.

Always one of the first things I install with a new Arch Linux install! Not because it's useful or anything, I'm not delusional, but because it's hella cool

I'm really bad at noticing small details. Luckily 99% of AI artists use the same art style (with more or less Pixar influence for humans) so I can still spot AI imagery from a mile away

Reject EVIL ONENESS

You know, one possible explanation is that the dude was painfully unaware of time zones and the time cube was just his way of justifying how different places can all have sunlight at the same hour... And the fact nobody questioned how the sun can be up at 1pm in the US while also being up at 1pm in like Australia made him think it was a huge conspiracy

Makes some sense, I feel like I almost grew a brain tumor from seeing this picture

This idea would not be terrible, actually, you just need the right class allies on the other side of the line

Edit: to clarify, I meant having regular working-class people actively sabotaging it

Fuck. Please don't take down Sci hub... I know there are mirrors elsewhere, should I be worried?

I'm not even going to make the usual joke, by saying sarcastically that I don't use it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's the biggest contributor to scientific progress in the last decade and I'm tired of pretending it's not

The one in this picture matches my idea of what new beyblades looked like in 2005-ish, when I was getting over them because they looked so excessively bulky. I think the launcher also saw a revision?

LaTeX: ok, I'll print out 100 in math mode. No problem
