@BillAckman Are you now considering yourself an "expert" on Europe as well? Come on, Ackman. Stay in your lane.

Europe is on a path to destroying itself. Unchecked immigration of millions of immigrants that burden their welfare states, bring violence and terrorism to their shores, and take over local governance, one city at a time. Anti-capitalist policies that make it difficult for businesses to adapt their workforces to a rapidly changing competitive environment now accelerating due to AI. A business environment and tax regime that is antithetical to startups. The absence of any progress or innovation in AI and limited access to the compute necessary to compete. Energy dependence due to the green movement at a moment when energy demands are rapidly increasing. And now, the abandonment of the U.S. when we have asked for limited assistance — base access and flyover rights — in the midst of our efforts to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and ballistic threat which is already within striking range of Europe, after we have invested nearly $200 billion in helping Ukraine. NATO is about to be toast. Europe’s defense burden is about to rise massively while their economies continue to fall further and further behind. In short, Europe needs to wake up before it is too late, and it may very well be too late.

Lithuania is ranking 2nd in transparency and anti-corruption. According to @OECD, 🇱🇹 scored 86% for legal framework and 76% for its implementation, above the OECD average. Lithuania has built a mature integrity system and is showing that high standards can be put into practice.

@juliet_turner6 It's certainly is an amazing shot from a photography standpoint – not easy to capture both the event and reaction to it in one.

What a wonderful, joyous photo from this milestone in the universal human experience. 🚀 Such a unique and creative way to capture this moment & eternalise your fleeting subjective experience of the universe. I’m sure there won’t be anything negative or misogynistic in the comments— 🤡

@original_twiggy @Vesn4_ A lot of games use hidden rooms for NPCs that appear on screens.

@Vesn4_ wait he has an actual room? I always assumed that was just a prerendered scene that they showed on the screens

I saw on Reddit someone found Kurt's podcast room that I've been looking for and couldn't find, and turns out it's because it's quest locked to the entrance of Stadium in Dog Eat Dog😭

@RachelMoiselle In terms of photography, it's an amazing photo showcasing both an event and a reaction to it.

I don’t know why people are getting so irate that Ellie took a selfie. There are plenty of pictures and videos of the launch. A picture of the wonder and awe in someone’s face as they see it in the flesh is more unique and so beautifully human. And of course the reflection is beyond cool.

@mlodszyczlowiek Yup, whiners are crying as if this is the only photo of the event, even though there are also plenty of awesome photos of just the rocket itself.

Tbh I kinda respect it, this is a one of a kind photo, there will be 5000 photos of the rocket flying

@elsleightholm That's a cool photo and definetely something others will try replicating in the future!

Artemis II launch… caught in my glasses reflection

@u_m_a_m_i @redhead_ophelia I am completely fine with us having both.

Someone taking a creative photo of themselves with the reflection of the artemis launch in their glasses is more interesting and indicative of her experience on earth, but these nerds would rather 4782 images of the same rocket in the sky from the same angle.

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

@Porcupine328 @b3rnth4l_v2 Yup

@b3rnth4l_v2 People that call him “another celebrity voice casting” are dumb because he’s been voice acting for years

“I dress heroes, Nolan.” man Mark Hammill as Art never fails to impress me in the show he’s always delivering top tier voice acting and dialogue, you can tell he really did like Nolan

@0x44_ @Phantom_TheGame @77razr I know the history of various measurement units quite well. They were picked out of convenience, so for applications beyond their direct inspiration they are truly arbitrary and hold no direct physical significance.

@NAG3LT @Phantom_TheGame @77razr Presuming you're just repeating the commonly held belief that a "second" is arbitrary, as it's based on our Sun cycle, "arbitrary" is just as much a wild "belief" to me as the conspiracy theorists', but I also don't feel like explaining the obvious reasons why, so you do you.

I 100% hate that 432hz believers never know anything about music

@winfriedmaus @notch In my personal experience, it can be fine for games that already run at 60+ FPS and you just want to get more smoothness on a high refresh rate monitor. 2x FG looked fine to me in Cyberpunk and Spider Man 2, but at 3x/4x, aftifacts became too distracting.

@notch DLSS does not implicitly mean frame generation. But frame generation itself does not make any sense, because the underlying game loop knows nothing about those frames and thus cannot respond to it and thus you have severe input latency problems when you use frame generation.

DLSS fundamentally makes no sense. Because the graphics card is too slow to run the game at reasonable speeds, you use THE SAME HARDWARE to run a neural network to generate frames in between the existing ones.

@0x44_ @Phantom_TheGame @77razr It's just a slightly different multiple of what ultimately is an arbitrarily chosen base time interval. There is nothing physically special about its numerical representation.

@Phantom_TheGame @77razr Ears can hear symmetry. It's the whole basis behind functional harmony.

@77razr Or physics.

@jodduc @ValaAfshar or Moscow

@ValaAfshar Destination: The Moon

James Burke's perfectly timed shot on television in 1978 is hailed as one of “The Greatest Shot In Television History”

@petite_michelle One of few truly good news from US these days.

The US we respect is the US who launches rockets to the Moon and takes down the Berlin wall.

@SnazzyLabs Interestingly enough, people not understanding delayed transactions was once part of conspiracy where some people doubted the story of a kidnapped person because somebody leaked their bank statement and iTunes money transfer happened during that kidnapping.

Remote Camera 1 (Crawler way) Every shot bracketing and highlight weighted metering. @NikonUSA @MiopsTrigger @NASAArtemis @NASAAdmin @FelixSchlang

@danwinesalot @Pinboard USSR beat USA to space, because their cosmonauts were more motivated to leave the country, even for a bit.

@Pinboard It’s because we’re really motivated to get the fuck outta here under those presidents.

There's a strong historical argument to make that America is only capable of lunar spaceflight when it has the worst fucking President
