Actors say Hollywood studios want their AI replicas โ€” for free, forever in c/[email protected]

Isn't Star Wars the franchise that really kick started the trend of bringing dead/younger versions of actors back as CGI replicas?

Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers โ€” and shoppers who despise receipt checks in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was at Walmart the other day and there were four employees standing around the self checkout. They all said bye to me when I left. Weird shit.

At that point, why not just have them work the tills??

Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community? in c/[email protected]

Ugh you're right. I admit I've scrolled through AITA more often than I should, because something about it is really entertaining.

But it's like junk food, I don't really feel good when I'm done with it. More vindictive, like those revenge subs. Being off Reddit has reduced how much I see it, and I don't particularly want to go back to that.

Just tried it. "An oonique"... Sounds fancy.

NovelAI doesn't censor itself. Do with that as you will.

Now that's a satisfying couple of charts!

Stellaris Hidden Features (lemmy.world)
 

There are some useful tools in Stellaris that aren't exactly well advertised, that people might not know even when they've put in the hours!

Here's one: you can restrict a system so that your ships automatically path around it and not, say, directly into the leviathan. It's a button on the bottom of the screen in the system view.

Why do we use base 60 for time and base 10 for everything else. Why has no one decided to integrate it. in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

I think the benefit of having metric in base 10 rather than 12 is that it matches our numeric base system.

123mm is 12.3cm and 1.23dm and 0.123m.

Converting things in base 12 would be a bit more work, not sure it'd be worth it.

We're not really going around converting time very often.

12 and 60 divide nicely. A quarter of a 12-hour clock is 3 hours, but in decimal time it'd be 2.5 hours. A third is 4 hours in base 12, but some gross 3.33 repeating in decimal.

I just don't like it.

Bloons TD 6. Only game I've had installed for years, the pop pop pop makes my brain happy in a way I can't explain.
