Possibly AI but unlikely. Though I'd say very likely the account is fake.
Because of the way AI works generally when you create fake images of a person they will appear somewhat inconsistent (appearing a bit fatter or darker skinned between pics). If this is AI they managed to do a better job than the top paid AI for generating head shots, which I've used and it is far less consistent with the images.
@olives What exactly are you refering to? My time there was quite lovely, certainly much nicer than any time ive ever spent in the USA...
Not entierly true, though I do agree with the spirit here.
VC have invested in the fediverse (bluesky, as well as other servers)
There are "shareholders", those would be the people in control of the AP spec.
There are growth targets for the network, as Eugene has stated on a few occasions.
These arent bad things mind you, which Is why I am glad they exist...

Really? I use a model M because it is the loudest keyboard I could find. If you are telling me the logitech blue is louder that is a pretty strong argument to switch to it... you sure? I have my doubts.
Im not talking about tarrifs he created, im talking about the total number of tarrifs on the books.
Remember Biden can always choose to remove or add tarrifs, ergo regardless of if he personally created them any tarrif on the books is one he has oked regardless of if he creates it. At the end of Biden's reign there was a total of 600 billion in tarrifs under the 301 that he has either created or allowed to stay on the books during his presidency.
Meanwhile trump has only suggested 80 billion in tarrifs total.
Under Biden/Harris there was 600 billion worth of tariffs... Trump suggests 80 billion in tariffs... Guess which one everyone lost their shit over?

@realcaseyrollins Americans are almost always perpetually burnt out... you would think that extra day off causing x2 productivity might be a hint to management ....
In some previous posts, I’ve been chipping away at the question of how two objects falling into a black hole appear from each other’s vantage, and now I’ve put all the pieces together to answer a question @johncarlosbaez posed on his blog:
If a fleet of spaceships all fall into a black hole from different starting points along the same radial line, how would the other ships appear to one in the middle of the fleet?
https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2024/11/30/black-hole-puzzle/
The plot here shows the “apparent distance” of the other ships (as determined by the angle each ship subtends, if you know its size, or by its parallax if you view it from slightly different positions). It also shows where the ships were located, when the light now being received from them was emitted.
The details are quite different depending on whether we’re seeing a ship that is closer to the black hole than us, by means of “outgoing light” — light moving away from the hole — versus a ship further from the hole that we see by “incoming light”.
Because the event horizon itself is formed by the paths through spacetime traced by outgoing light rays, we see all the ships closer to the hole than us cross the event horizon just as we cross it ourself.
But the incoming light from ships that are further from the hole than us reaches us later, for any given r coordinate where it was emitted, and we hit the singularity at the centre of the hole before we see any light emitted from those ships when they crossed the horizon.
EDITED TO ADD: This diagram has some mistakes. I’ve given a correct version in a reply.
@louis I only use light mode but being able to switch is a good feature, will make a lot of users happy
@freeschool disnt you ask to join the team first? Come over to matrix and we can talk more seriously
100% true statement about Republican Americans.
Also a 100% true statement about Democrat Americans.
In fact, its just true about Americans.
@louis I like the clean white style with just enough graphics to not be distracting and deliver a focused message. ITs better than most sites I see.
