You Want Fries With That Shake? Cafe

Last night I posted a photo that was clearly AI but somehow I missed it. Lemme try again:

Black Hole
@konstructivizm
It seems incredible, but this is a real photograph!
It was taken on July 24, 2024, just seconds before Saturn disappeared completely behind the lunar disk. The image creates the illusion that Saturn is hovering right above Glushko Crater--a young, 43-kilometer-wide crater near the Moon's western limb. Of course, the Moon is 400,000 kilometers away, whereas Saturn is 1.4 billion kilometers away.
The photo was taken by amateur astronomer Chengcheng Xu in China.

Poor little herding puppy is disrespected by the goats who chase him off, but then he remembers he is the descendant of wolves and asserts his authoritah.

Two paddleboarders save a weakening wallaby who somehow got herself swept out into the open ocean.

Oh my goodness -- a tiny tree kangaroo has an even tinier joey in her pouch.

Hippos sleep underwater but raise their heads and take a breath automatically, without waking up. Or so the fedslop would have you believe.

He knows what he did.

These babies are hungry!

These baby deer are also hungry!

Painting a mural to merge with the foliage.

This will make you misty. Poor shelter dog.

The cat is unimpressed and he's right to be unimpressed.

38 Are you saying this still isn’t AI? The moon is less than half a millions kilometers from Earth. Saturn is 1.4 billion kilometers from Earth. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a billion, Saturn is also…1.4 billion kilometers from the Moon.

Saturn won’t look any closer from the Moon than it does from Earth - if it’s any closer at all. It will definitely look clearer and brighter - due to the absence of atmospheric distortion, city lights, and all that - but it won’t appear any larger.

"What do Gen Z MAGA voters under 30 think on foreign policy?

* 72 percent supermajority believe the United States should be “more engaged and take the lead” on foreign policy, while just 19 percent say it should be “less engaged and react to events” — a 53-point spread in favor of U.S. global leadership.

* 74 percent agree that “the U.S. has a moral obligation to stand up for human rights and democracy whenever possible in international affairs.”

* 73 percent of MAGA voters under 30 approve of Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic fury.

* 59 percent say “supporting the Iranian people in their efforts to secure freedom and democracy” is important while just 13 percent say it’s not.

* 61 percent want to see the Iranian regime either removed or weakened, while just 35 percent say they prefer a “negotiated settlement.”

* 64 percent agree with Trump’s decision to remove Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela.

* 60 percent would support Trump using military force to remove the Cuban government from power.

* 60 percent approve of sending U.S. weapons to Israel.

* 62 percent have a favorable view of NATO...

65 percent say that the security of Taiwan matters to U.S.

I'm willing to say it's possible. First, we can and do take clear pictures of Saturn from the Earth, so that's not false. The only question is of the proportions between the moon's surface and Saturn, and that's hard to be certain of with such a small portion of the moon shown.

75 Although their horse-like appearance makes them appear friendly and approachable, Kelpies often take their victims into the water, devour them, and throw the entrails to the water's edge.

In its equine form the kelpie is able to extend the length of its back to carry many riders together to a gruesome grave. In one instance, several children were enticed into climbing onto a kelpie's back, while one little boy remained on the shore. He did pet the water horse but his hand stuck to its neck and the lad had to cut it off to free himself. He survived but the other children were carried off and drowned, with only some of their entrails being found later.

That shot of Saturn behind the Moon is very real. There are similar shots of Mars during the last occultation. Griffith Observatory out there near LA has lived streamed some of these events, and they have videos from the telescopes tracking it.

That's the problem with the AI slop now. Andrew McCarthy, one of my favorite astrophotographers has lamented how he'll go to incredible trouble to set up a perfect shot, getting the timing and all that planned out perfectly, and then someone says, "Pffffft! AI!".

96 Hubs started watching The Agency on tv - which I found out is a remake of a French show, The Bureau.
So of course I had to check out the original.
Comparing, it seems almost identical, except in the original the actors seem softer, more human.
In the remake, the characters seem colder. Specially the lead, Fassbender. Maybe Prometheus has permanently scarred him 😁

Telescopes are basically huge telephoto lenses. Very narrow field of view, and thin depth of field. This creates a very prominent foreshortening effect. So, Saturn looks very close to the Moon, impossibly close relative to what our own brains and eyes are used to seeing.

You'll see that with telephoto lens. Zoom in on something in the distance, and foreground objects appear much closer to the distant object.

109 Saturn won’t look any closer from the Moon than it does from Earth - if it’s any closer at all. It will definitely look clearer and brighter - due to the absence of atmospheric distortion, city lights, and all that - but it won’t appear any larger.

Other techniques that some object to as "not real" are stacking and compositing. It's real images, just many of them combined. This can reduce noise, enhancing the real signals that are there, and bring foreground and background objects each into better focus.

For very dim stuff like nebula, you need hours and days of exposures night after night, and you can bring incredible detail of stuff that's just dim to see, but it's real information in real light.

Then about a year later I was perusing a music forum site - Steve Hoffman - and by golly, “Bobby Bare Died”. For real this time, I guess. I suppose it was some kind of internet glitch, but it was strange.

Thing is, dishwashing detergent, any brand, will break the oily film on your windshield, and allow even worn wipers to make a clean sweep.

You know it's Summer, you're on a road trip, and your windshield gets all plastered with bug guts, and you find some Interstate gas stop has this amazing slop in the wash buckets that cleans the bug guts right off? Dawn and water.

The easiest way to explain it is that you are focusing on an object at infinity. The Moon 🌖 is effectively infinitely far away (as compared with focal length of your lens or mirror) and Saturn 🪐 is also infinitely far away, so you image them both in the same plane in your camera or telescreen, etc.

Here's what the AI says:

Ringer's solution and Ringer's lactate are both isotonic crystalloid intravenous fluids used for fluid resuscitation and electrolyte replacement. The primary difference is that Ringer's lactate contains sodium lactate as a buffering agent to help prevent or correct metabolic acidosis, whereas plain Ringer's solution does not.

211 The state of California was pretty much the model for “Emergency”, they pioneered the idea of bringing trained medicos to the scene.

In most places they just chucked you into a station wagon prior to that, and hoped you didn’t die on the way. EMT was a new thing, and “Emergency!” reflected this.

Some places, the Ambulance and Morgue used the same vehicles. I mean, why not right? Saves time.

He got off easy

A gentleman of my acquaintance-

Sir Peter Graham-Moon (you can easily look that up, famous)

"His first wife, Lady Sarah, famously took revenge amid his infidelity by cutting up his Savile Row suits, pouring paint on his BMW, and giving away his wine cellar. The story made national headlines, dubbing him the "philandering baronet."

Actually, she cut the crotch out of his Savile Row suits and cut dozens of bespoke silk neckties in half.

He was somewhat aggrieved that they were in an "Open marriage" and his wife had other men friends, but that was never mentioned.

He was actually quite a good chap, as I knew him. Let me drive his cars and simply liked cars and women.

258 Hagerty Insurance's car magazine recently had a good history of the ambulance. The influence of TV's Emergency! was so widespread and immediate that the traditional "funeral car" wagon became obsolete within just a couple of years. Good news for rock bands, camper conversions. Stressful times for Superior Coach Co., and the Studebaker Ambulette.

Just imagine the expenditure made by all the small town public services ("first responder" was a brand new term 50 years ago, and often meant something different from what we call it now), adding EMT's and full-service hurry up wagons coast to coast all within a decade. Plus, you had to have a jaws-o'-life, the custom 2-way radio with the doctors on the other end, new sirens...

262 He was actually quite a good chap, as I knew him. Let me drive his cars and simply liked cars and women.

263 There was a story about a concrete truck driver who swung by his house for whatever reason and found his wife there with a boyfriend.

He walked out, went back to his truck, and filled the bf's convertible full of ready-mix all the way to the top of the doors.

264 257 It's 5:25 in Tehran.

Has Trump and his band of merry men bombed anything tonight?

He should let Israel slip in and take out a couple of generals.

Imagine how peaceful the world would become if Trump did something truly, unequivocally barbaric to them. I mean send in teams to execute anything that even smells like government in Teheran. Literal heads on literal pikes. Nuke "TRUMP" into the coutryside so big that other civilizations outside our solar system can see it.

Oh, sure, the "World Commyooooonity" would piss and moan about it. But who cares. Trump could blow whatever fuckwit is claiming to be their leader on live TV and they'd call him evil incarnate for not tickling his balls enough. Fuck them all. Let them hate, so long as they fear.

let's be the Bad Guys for once.

265 >>>adding EMT's and full-service hurry up wagons coast to coast all within a decade. Plus, you had to have a jaws-o'-life, the custom 2-way radio with the doctors on the other end, new sirens...

It was a big deal and definitely a 1st world item.

267 Stressful times for Superior Coach Co., and the Studebaker Ambulette.

Just imagine the expenditure made by all the small town public services ("first responder" was a brand new term 50 years ago, and often meant something different from what we call it now), adding EMT's and full-service hurry up wagons coast to coast all within a decade. Plus, you had to have a jaws-o'-life, the custom 2-way radio with the doctors on the other end, new sirens...

Studebaker should have made a stretched version of the Zip Van, and powered it with 289 V8. Offered that as an ambulance platform. Continued the same front subframe design that allowed complete power train swap in an hour or two.
