I don’t know if motion animation is the same as other types of films, but for most of the industry you need box office sales to be double of the film budget for it to be considered profitable. Mainly due to marketing budgets and the huge percentage of profit that theaters get for the first few weeks of a film’s release.
This is just the “getting to know you” phase or offramp meetups. In 3 exits they’ll be in a nicer position.
cite its sources
Just so you know, an LLM isn’t capable of actually citing its sources properly, that’s not how vector engines work. When you ask it to do so, one (or more thread) spits out what ever the algebra says is the best answer, then another thread tries to best fit that output to some article in its database. If the first thread was fully committing plagiarism, then the link is accurate. If it “reasoned” anything then it may not be.
Connections is one of my all time favorite shows. I missed that there was a 4th series released. Four series in 47 years.
Conservative governments have spent 3 generations, the world over, convincing everyone that deregulation is always a good thing.
What do you do when courts start to decide that you actively and willingly give children PTSD to make them psychologically addicted to a your trauma feed? Hire Momfluencers, of course.
I degoogled as a Covid project. Mostly it just made me feel a little bit better… and then GenAI hit. Hopefully I’ll go my whole life without ever having used Gemini. And hopefully, if they ingested any of my pre-pandemic emails, photos, docs, etc to train with, pulling it out of cold storage will at least have cost them extra time and money.
How could anyone limit themselves to 50 posts on apartheid-fan-boi.facist?
I’ve spent 20 something years ostensibly working 9 - 5. But most of those years I’ve also on call for server downtime, and crunch-time is sometimes a thing.
Are they going to remake that 1 mobile billboard that’s been doing laps of the LV Strip for at least 30 years, with the same 3 bikini-clad women?
I didn’t need more reasons to not go to Disney*, but I’ll add this to the pile.
As a kid I burned the bottom of my foot (enough to cause blistering) on fresh blacktop in Palm Springs. They had just opened the repaved parking lot in the full SoCal summer heat when we pulled in to go to the bank. I took 2 steps: the first adhered my flip-flip firmly to the asphalt and the second took my foot out of said flip-flop and landed it right on crazy hot and sticky surface.
Joe / Not Sure was in the pod 500 years. So it’s after most treks: Enterprise 2150s, Strange New Worlds 2250s, Disco 2250s + 3190s, TOS 2260s, TNG/DS9/Voy 2360s and 70s, Lower Decks / Prodogy 2380s, Academy 3195.
What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?
Oaks have made sure of it. They make the red acorns (that sprout in the fall) the ones that are better for a squirrel to bury far away while giving the squirrels tender white acorns to eat right away - there by ensuring strong distribution of seeds. And every so often they have a mast year where there make way more acorns than the squirrel population can eat (but will still bury, just in case). But the mast years are usually separated by several squirrel generations so the increase in nuts doesn’t lead to a permanent increase in population - thus making future mast years more beneficial to the oaks.
Saw the title and the image thumbnail and thought, "Man, Colin Hay isn’t looking so good these days.
I love giving my players puzzles and riddles, but I’m not great at coming up with them. They’ll make perfect sense to me in my notes and then when I trying to describe them I realize important bits aren’t clear.
I’m too lazy to take pictures, but I have a synology sitting in an Ikea Kalix and an older laptop mounted to the other side of the wall (that the kalix is against), which is a bathroom in my garage.
We had contractors working last summer and let them use the garage bathroom. After the 3rd day I overheard a few of them developing conspiracy theories for why we have a closed laptop mounted to the wall and with fans that would occasionally cycle up.
Divorce yourself from algorithmic feeds. They’re basically used as Soma.
In the past I think they’ve sealed off the leaky module and let it go low pressure. I wonder why that doesn’t seem to be enough anymore.
