It looks okay in the Connect app.
kersploosh@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there any lemmy server hosted from the USA ?3·2 days agoBoth are hosted in Europe.
How long until Hollywood starts releasing AI-generated rotoscoped versions of classic movies? I bet enough people would watch it to make it worth the relatively small production cost.
kersploosh@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In the digital age, it's going to be harder for ICE agents to hide their identities than it was for Nazis trying to evade justice post WW2.871·2 days agoHow so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven’t seen their identites released, and I don’t see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.

kersploosh@sh.itjust.workstoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•The US Debt in Comparison to DOGE CutsEnglish13·2 days agoNice visualization. Unfortunately the domain it’s blocked on my work network for some reason. Hopefully others don’t have the same problem.
Short summary in case you cannot access the site:
The DOGE cuts represent <1% of federal spending. They are targeted for political messaging and stoking culture wars, not for reducing the deficit or cutting the size of government. Which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.
The 1st Amendment hasn’t stopped the current administration from deporting hundreds of legal residents for simply voicing their political opinions. Constitutional rights aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.
And did you see today’s news? We’re arresting judges now.

kersploosh@sh.itjust.worksto 50501 General@50501.chat•Looking For Moderators/AdminEnglish2·3 days agoYeah, a short explanatory paragraph at the top of the instance sidebar and this community sidebar would be very helpful. Maybe something like this, just off the top of my head:
50501.chat is home of the 50501 movement on Lemmy. Get involved, find a protest, and help stop the US’s slide into authoritarianism!
I have often found this to be an issue with grassroots political organizing. Lots of calls to action without any context regarding the goal(s) or why people should care enough to join.
kersploosh@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Questions on Light takes all pathsEnglish2·4 days agoAt this point I have to admit that I am out of my depth. We need a real physics major to chime in.
kersploosh@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Questions on Light takes all pathsEnglish5·4 days agoCool video. Doing the double-slit experiment in my freshman physics class is a favorite memory from college. Seeing it in person blew everyone’s minds, even the kids who had learned about the experiment before.
If you google “is energy conserved in the double-slit experiment” you’ll find some physics forums with decent answers. Basically, the total energy emitted by the light source does not change. Energy is conserved. Don’t think of the laser light as a discrete beam that is being split off onto a second path. Instead, imagine that the laser light is constantly shining all over that foil and card. The dark regions appear dark because the light waves there are canceled out by interference from adjacent light waves. Similarly, the red areas are illuminated because in those areas the adjacent waves did not cancel each other out. The bright spots visible on the polarized foil occur because the polarizer blocks thin regions of the light, preventing them from canceling out adjacent light that wasn’t blocked. So light wasn’t redirected there, but was always there and was simply made visible to us by the effect of the polarizer.
Light, quantum mechanics, and the probabilistic nature of the universe are all real head trips. I still struggle to wrap my mind around them. As such, there’s a good chance my simplistic paragraph above is incorrect or misleading, so take my answer with a grain of salt.
See the other comment that I left moments ago. This isn’t AI; it’s real equipment on public display. I linked other photos of the same thing from different sources.
It’s definitely not AI. It’s on display as part of the B Reactor tour. You can find other photos of the same display. For example:

God damn, we are in the worst timeline.
I try to pick from a variety of sources, but it’s tempting to make this community nothing but toolgif reposts for a few weeks. There are so many cool things to share.
