I do, I see it!
  • The thumbnail made me see the man first, and it was interesting how the dog emerged in my vision— first as a man wearing a jacket with a dogface on the back, and then suddenly the entire man transforming into a dog facing the other way like an animorph.

    If I’d seen the enlarged image first, or if I’d seen it on a monitor instead of a phone screen, probably would have seen the dog first and struggled to see the man.

  • TIL in traditional Christian theology there are four sins "which cry out to heaven for vengeance" : murder, sodomy, oppression of the poor, and defrauding a worker of his wages.
  • What was the crime of Sodom and Gomorrah? According to my rabbi (and supported by the writings and prophets), it was making charity illegal. The punishment for breaking said crime was gang raping the receiver of said charity. Only rich people were allowed in the cities, you see, with the idea that this would make the cities stronger. Drive out the weak and undesirable was the idea.

  • In NYC, companies will have to prove their AI hiring software isn't sexist or racist
  • You definitely don’t even need to include sex or race as an input for the AI to show bias. AI can find other things that tend to show sex or race… perhaps your school, perhaps your address, or perhaps the very style you tend to write in for your cover letter.

  • Kbin: What is your favourite (or least favourite) horror film?
  • After developing PTSD for an unrelated issue, I can’t watch horror anymore. But before that I was a fan. I remember being distinctly disappointed by the Silent Hill movie as betraying the core fundamentals of horror writing, and frustrated that they took what was supposed to be a psychological journey into the psyche of the main characters and turned it into a boring “evil cult” story. They didn’t even make the cult scary in the way real cults are scary.

    A friend of mine actually liked the movie, on the premise that it wasn’t trying to be horror, but just a shock-value gore-o-rama. I don’t see the appeal.

    The scariest movie I ever saw? Literally gave me nightmares and kept me up for weeks? The Exorcist. It probably helps that I’m kinda religious. Regardless, never watched that movie twice. Even if I didn’t have unrelated issues, I’d never watch that movie again. A+ horror.

  • Is numlock key actually useful?
  • If you need to type numbers really fast, of course there’s no beating numlock. 10 key for the win. Of course that doesn’t get at why not just leave it as 10 key forever and skip the arrows. I know a lot of older programs… like msdos older…required the use of the arrow keys. And some people do prefer it for their cursor, and it doesn’t hurt to provide the option.

  • The Truman Show 2: Jim Carrey's Ideas, Possible TV Spinoff & Everything We Know
  • The most interesting part of the story is how he restarts life from scratch? Dude… the Truman Show was a complete story. It had an end. It finished. There’s really nothing more that could add to that story. A sequel would basically have to be a completely different story, and it wouldn’t make sense for it to BE a sequel, there wouldn’t be ANY commonalities.

  • Russia-Ukraine war: Ukrainian troops 'advancing steadily'
  • I’m pretty sure things are proceeding, if not perfectly, then at least within expectations. They’re attacking at multiple locations, forcing Russians to respond with reserves. Whenever the reserves move to one location, the attacks at the other locations pick up, forcing the reserves to move again, weakening other areas, where the pressure picks up again. Each location is only inching forward (if “kilometers gained” counts as inching) but the point is to stretch the Russian logistics and morale to the breaking point. And eventually it will break.
