That sounds pretty plausible, but I'm not sure.

The windows are only very slightly off center, inconsistent, and even the ones above the clock are as well (although the clock mechanism could extend both up and down).

But I also don't have any better explanation.

 

All the watchtowers on the city wall of Villingen-Schwenningen are like this, here's some more I found while on a short walk:

What exactly makes this stand out as AI to you, and not just cosplay?

I can't really find any of the telltale signs of AI. The books on the shelf all look fine, the mirror on the left edge looks perfect and I can't find anything immediately noticeable on the costume.

If this is AI, I think it's probably just the face, maybe the whole person, but certainly not the whole picture. But maybe I missed something, please let me know.

Scott Manley recently made a great video about this. He goes through (and explains it while doing so) a whole lot of rough math, and comes to the conclusion that cooling datacentre satelites is actually pretty doable.

One thing I don't like about the "master key" metaphor: I do lockpicking as a hobby. And locks built for a master key are easier to pick, because you can open them with two keys. It seems kinda obvious when you think about it. (You gotta be careful when picking mastered locks though, the master wafers can fall into the keyway and permanently destroy the lock.)

I've only just dipped my toes into Xeno, but it looks like just as much fun as Marines. The people doing the balancing for this game have done an incredible job at making both sides different, but equally strong and fun.

It's important to note here, that in Germany (at least, the region where I live) you will fail the practical driving exam if you don't stop at a crosswalk with any pedestrian within about 5 meters, unless they are actively walking away from it.

I think overall German driver's education is significantly better (and much more expensive) than in the US.

 

I'll preface this by saying that I have unfourtunately never really interacted with any media in the Alien franchise. Horror movies aren't really my thing.

But, recently, I have been playing RMC (Rouny's Marine Corps). It's a game that builds on the same engine as Space Station 14, and it's a remake of CM-SS13 (which builds on Space Station 13). RMC is a round based, multiplayer role playing game, where a group of marines fight a Xenonid infestation on a planet.

Afaik, it's more or less based on the Alien franchise, so I was wondering:

  • How many of you know about this? It's a fairly niche, open-source game, but then again Lemmy/PieFed is also quite niche.
  • What do you think about it?
  • Can I convince some of you to join in the fun? It's unlike any other game I've seen (except Space Station 14), and it's not an easy game to first get into (if you are interested, I seriously recommend watching some tutorials and possibly playing some Space Station 14 first).

Depending on the language, there might exist an automated tool for generating those kinds of diagrams from code.

If you're really desperate, try using Tor. I'm not sure if Substack blocks Tor, but assuming it doesn't, the Tor-browser's anti-fingerprinting measures should be more than enough.

Edit: Just checked, Substack does not block Tor.

I had a bubble in an IV tube once, and asked about it (I wasn't being put to sleep)!

Apparently it happens all the time. The thing at the end, just before the needle (sorry, I have no idea what it's called) filters them out.

You may want to look into amateur radio (or you might not, it needs a licence after all).

I don't really have any recommendations for you, but I would suggest you crosspost this to !amateur_radio@lemmy.radio

Nope, David Revoy does a lot of comics in this art style, and the Avian Intelligence parrot has been a recurring character in the last few.

I can also really recommend his comic series Pepper & Carrot, it has some very cool worldbuilding.

This one isn't super well known, but for small projects I really like raylib, and raygui. It gets impractical for complex GUIs, but it does make it really easy to quickly start something from scratch.
