Me resisting the urge to critique the lighting and framing of the nudes my friend sent me

That DS drawing is incredible!! Thank you for sharing!

Yeah. They’re completely blind to the proven fact that people and communities often become more compassionate in times of crisis. They’re just too selfish and stupid to understand empathy

You can clean that with some isopropyl alcohol

This was very fun to read!

There are a lot of steps in converting color spaces to suit people’s individual monitors and in compressing files to be stored on web servers.

Sometimes rounding errors happen. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, every donut has a corresponding donut hole somewhere in the world, which holds the center of mass. This property of disconnection between a donut and its CoM has many interesting applications.

I think the proper term would be “mathematical”, bit “virtual” gets the point across just as well in context

Do you think the database entries are being properly sanitized? I think I saw Bobby Tables doing DEI earlier

The X makes it sound cooler

Is that a real website? I’m scared to check

She voiced my childhood movie crush (the opossum from Over the Hedge), so I think she’s pretty cool.

“Open Compute” being trademarked is pretty ironic

I’ve heard markov chains can be a good way to poison LLMs because it trains them to ignore words beyond the most recent

I am so glad there’s still influential people fighting this bullshit

One of their older color products is a traditional B/W screen with an RGB filter over the top. The problem with this is the filter tends to make everything way darker and muted than it should be.

They are also working on newer ACeP screens that use multiple colored dye and pigment particles in the same capsule. By swapping the colors around with specific electric waveforms, they can control what the color looks like from the front. The downside is that this color swapping often takes several seconds to produce the correct color ((also the color gamut has a lot of holes))

Hi! Former E Ink employee here. The technology behind color e ink displays is an intricate nightmare of juggling different ink particles through a gel medium (which is actually derived from pig fat btw). It’s a miracle it even works in the first place, and unfortunately higher color accuracy comes at the cost of refresh rate due to all the steps involved. Not sure how in-depth I can go without violating my NDA though lol.

While the color tech is advancing, it’s still got a long way to go.

Sometimes a lack of empathy can be due to a hormonal imbalance. You might benefit from some kind of hormonal therapy, if that’s something you want to bring up with a doctor.

One of my close friends was affected by something like that, and now they’re one of the most empathetic and emotionally intelligent people I know.

Someone, somewhere, is about to make the mother of all omeletes
