  • Generally I think this has something to do with average age of model trained vs age of depicted person. Humans have large heads proportional to their bodies in youth and then averages out. On top of this another commenter mentioned art. So many anime/cartoon characters have larger heads to show the expressions and in turn show a youthful nature in these characters.

    Another addition to this is, as another poster stated, the angles of these photos makes a larger head more apparent, probably because we associate larger heads with intelligence, and so poses have just developed to make that appearance.

    Similar to “the average number of arms is less than 2 because there’s greater chances there will be people with zero or one arm, rather than an extra”. Your model will draw on its wealth of samples where the head is disproportionately larger, instead of proportionate - because it was probably fed more photos of hat age range and doesn’t know any different. You asking for AI to give you a person like Trump (78) will show that disparity in head size more than if you ask for Greta Thunberg (21)












  • I like nearly every song on American Idiot. I recognize they had a body of work before, but this was my first CD, so it was something I listened to over and over. It seems so unusual to me buying other CDs through the years (in general) and finding out only 1 or 2 songs of the 13+ was ever famous. Contrasted to American Idiot with at least 4 major songs on it. (American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake me up when September Ends), it made me feel like the disk was even more special for that.

    It is the only CD I have replaced multiple times due to scratching from age - I’m on my fourth CD. I take better care of them than I used to, so it will be one I will always have, even as physical media fades.

    I liked Wake Me Up When September Ends for the sound way back when, but now I like it for how it speaks to loss and how we heal over time, but never forget.













  • That’s fucked up I’m sorry, I’d have eaten an entire plate of cheese hors d’vors myself and taken half that chicken with me afterwards. I’m not even into wrestling and I’d have come for that food.

    You’re a good friend for providing that for a watch party (on top of paying for ppv) and I’m sorry your friends don’t appreciate how well you maintain your half of the bridge. The least the 2 could have done is tried the cheese and chicken.

    Edit holy shit are those pre stuffed pretzel bites. Bro wtf is wrong with these people I’d have asked if anyone wanted any and eaten the entire plate. (I may or may not have portion control issues but seriously, they didnt touch any of that delicious looking food)








    1. Not at an appropriate angle to turn quickly. You’d have to swivel your head 220⁰ or more to physically check both oncomings. Star for shit angle to attempt a turn. 2. Hammers down while raining so slips and then hesitates - sign of a fucking genius 2.5 Even with HD they weren’t going to get enough speed after almost a full U turn (based on angle) for that oncoming black car so star there because everyone would have had to slow down for them to get in and then speed up. Incompetence. 3. there’s a No Left Turn so star for illegal maneuver 4. They’re on an on-ramp of some kind actively holding up traffic rather than being to the left to allow normal merging. Star for being a blockage.

    Of course it’s also an SUV, I’m only surprised it’s not a truck. It’s always fucking trucks. 4 out of 5 stars



  • Best and worst could go to Fritz Haber. You may not have heard of him unless you’re into agriculture, but he is a Prussian Chemist, born in 1868. He worked with Carl Bosch and created the Haber-Bosch process. This process allows you to synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. Large amounts of fertilizer can be made from this quickly. He received the Nobel Prize for this in 1918. It is what allows us, even today, to mass grow crops. His work, without hyperbole, feeds billions today.

    However, his background in chemistry meant that in 1914, he was asked by his country to contribute to the war effort. After all, that’s what one does in war right? He devised heavier-than-air chlorine gas that would go on to be used to kill millions. He resigned from his field in 1939, but the nazis took his research and used it to form Zyklon B - the chemical used in gas chambers on Jews.

    He is one of the people whom we ask “does their good outweigh the bad?”
