Yes, if we all stand shoulder to shoulder and eat nothing but rice we can fit billions more in here. Then we can get wages low enough to afford some real corporate progress!

The people who opted out do bear responsibility.

Would he win the popular vote today? Hard to know. Only the kind of people who are willing to talk to pollsters end up in polls.

Both parties tend to claim a high moral position and definitive mandate from a narrow margin of victory.

Talk of suspending mandates, third terms, and invading Greenland are exactly how he keeps winning- talk past your goal, and retreat to victory.

He won the popular vote.

This is the top post this morning? The issue won't come to military action. But if it did, Denmark could exercise all they want, and it would still last about ten minutes. Not sure how this is relevant to anything.

You're gonna need some sources for those claims.

He promises 10, gives the world 4, but everybody else has 1, and he's hated for it.

Is this The Onion? I won't even go into how ridiculous the "science" here is, I'll just point out that literally anything pales in comparison to dramatically increasing the money supply, shutting down the economy, and taking no action on compounding inflation.

How did banning drugs work out? Alcohol?

The difference here could be because we're in different fields. We would call what you're referring to as "chroma." In historical palettes, almost no colors had that intensity of color at the top of your image. In pigment, a color can be extremely saturated and very dark. I submit this random video I found: https://www.tiktok.com/@color.nerd/video/7215966155071163691...

Well my team brought in several million dollars this year, but your point is still valid. :)

friendly knuckle cracking I wouldn't normally do this, but I did say I'd die on this hill. I'm a tenured professor of art at a major research university. Firstly, maybe I shouldn't have said "saturated," but then again, you wouldn't argue that your earth tones, for example Yellow Ochre or Burnt Sienna aren't saturated in color?

I have a particular expertise in historical scenic painting, (granted, largely for theatrical and ceremonial practice, but that's where we have the oldest examples of painting a fake thing to look real, see trompe l'oeil https://www.britannica.com/art/trompe-loeil )

In these examples, it's clear that the painters started with relatively saturated midtones, and used washes to take the shadows down and clay filled light colors (think gouache) for the highlights: https://masonicheritagecenter.org/backdrops-gallery/

As to the expense of saturated colors, it's the scholars claiming saturated colors, so the expense was made, obviously. But was yellow the final color, when it is the perfect base coat for a two part skin tone using first yellow, and then pink? In the first image in the article, you can see that half of the face is yellow, but that the other half is light colored skin. This exact theatrical layering practice has been used, first yellow, and then pink.

The fourth and eighth images in the article looks extremely similar to the scenic backdrops I've linked above, but one is from the same time period as these statues, and the other is from hundreds of years later. There is a clear similarity in the final work. I believe it's obvious that both painters used dry pigment mixed down to a thin consistency, and used a series of 5 to 7 quick layers to achieve fast, one session results.

This practice doesn't have anything to do with what we call oil painting today, which can be quite laborious and is normally achieved over multiple sessions. These artists would have wanted to knock out a work and get down off the ladder.

Happy to discuss further, all the best.

Preferring a narrative that supports your politics over fact is the most dangerous trend today. Please stop that.

I will die on this hill, because I'm right. Painters put on the first layer in saturated colors like this, then add detail, highlight and shadow. The base layer stuck to the statues, and the rest was washed away.

This whole thing just won't go away because many people are operating outside their area of expertise on this subject.

Painters layer paint, starting with a saturated base color. These archaeologists are simply looking at the paint that was left in the crevices.

Tron is interesting because we want to go into the digital world. We don't want it to come to us, the whole plot of this is contrary to the fun of the original idea.

I'm working in this field, and I would love to hear how he's generating video from these networks that don't understand what they're making. It can barely draw the same person twice, much less have the camera move through a 3d space.

One photo. How detached from the user experience do you have to be?

They never say how many grenades it can carry. But seriously, great to watch these get smaller and sleeker.

Your statements seem contradictory: AI creates new things based on what they are trained on, artists create new things based on what they are trained on. Soon enough, the training and the process will pull AI into the ability level of humans, and this is a huge step in that direction.

This article is click bait. The topic is being discussed at great length throughout the industry, but this adds nothing to the conversation, and the writing style is quite childish.

I have one at home, and one at the office. Sure, its cheap Chinese manufacturing, but it really works.

Sure, some fair points, but what's your take on the main point, that we should end raids?

We should just ban police raids full stop. So it becomes a siege, so what? Arrest them on the street. If they have hostages, give them whatever they want, and then arrest them on the street.

Police won't rush into a classroom, but they'll throw a concussion grenade into a baby's crib.

Interesting. Do people draw with the blunt point? Maybe they angle it and use the circular edge of the tip?

It says mechanical pencil sharpeners are only available for the standard shape, but that's incorrect.

I love my long point sharpener: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W9JH4RV/

>Temporary nonattributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis, will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena

Uh. That doesn't say some are not man made. It says some they don't know what it is, while some they are sure are man made.

It doesn't matter. I could put a Getty watermark on anything. Getty would have to show that a generated image was at least in part the same as their image.

Yes, but that's an outlier ruling that was widely criticized.

Midjourney creates the most compelling images by far, so far.

Yeah its ability to do texture, detail, and mood is on a different level.
