Much of my family left Turkey after my great-grandfather was murdered in the Armenian Genocide. Turkey, Israel, and many other countries still deny this genocide occurred. Itโ€™s a denial that enables genocides like that in Gaza to take place today.

Die Aussage, dass Filme nur mit weiblichen Pferden gedreht werden, ist ein Mythos bzw. eine vereinfachte Darstellung. Es gibt jedoch einige praktische Grรผnde, warum in vielen Filmproduktionen oft Stuten (weibliche Pferde) oder Wallache (kastrierte mรคnnliche Pferde) bevorzugt werden:

  1. Wallache und Stuten sind ruhiger und besser kontrollierbar

Hengste (unkastrierte mรคnnliche Pferde) haben oft ein temperamentvolleres und dominanteres Verhalten, besonders in Gegenwart von Stuten. Das macht sie schwerer zu kontrollieren, was bei Filmaufnahmen ein Problem sein kann.

Wallache sind durch die Kastration in der Regel ruhiger und einfacher zu handhaben.

Stuten sind zwar zyklusabhรคngig manchmal launisch, aber meist berechenbarer als Hengste.

  1. Sicherheit am Set

Ein Filmset ist voll mit Menschen, Technik, Lichtern und oft lauter Gerรคuschkulisse. Pferde mรผssen in dieser Umgebung ruhig bleiben und prรคzise Anweisungen befolgen. Stuten und Wallache sind in der Regel zuverlรคssiger in solchen Situationen.

  1. Optik ist wichtiger als Geschlecht

In vielen Fรคllen ist es egal, ob das Pferd mรคnnlich oder weiblich ist โ€“ Hauptsache, es sieht so aus, wie es die Rolle erfordert. Die Zuschauer erkennen ohnehin selten das Geschlecht des Pferdes auf der Leinwand.

  1. Mehrfachverwendung eines Pferdes

Oft wird ein einzelnes Pferd durch mehrere Pferde "gedoubelt" (z.โ€ฏB. fรผr Nahaufnahmen, Stunts etc.). Dabei mรผssen alle Pferde mรถglichst gleich aussehen. Da Hengste schwieriger mit anderen Pferden zusammenarbeiten, werden lieber Stuten oder Wallache fรผr solche Gruppenarbeiten eingesetzt.

Fazit:

Es werden nicht ausschlieรŸlich weibliche Pferde in Filmen eingesetzt โ€“ aber Stuten und Wallache sind aufgrund ihres Verhaltens, ihrer Trainierbarkeit und der Sicherheit am Set meist die bessere Wahl. Hengste sind eher die Ausnahme, auรŸer es ist fรผr die Handlung oder eine besondere Szene notwendig.

Yes, LTE only does IPv6.

Mobile networks can offer IPv4 via the standard mechanisms while tunneling everything, but since that wasn't cursed enough, there are some networks that no longer do that and only offer a special kind of IPv4 tunnel protocol to ensure only demon rectangles can get IPv4 working with the network (bonus points for making MMS only worth with IPv4 of course).

I won the lottery! A few weeks ago I bought my first scratch off ticket in years and won zero. Then this week I bought another scratch off ticket and won $4. That means I'm up $2. I'm considering reinvesting my winnings in 4 $1 tickets. Or I could bask in entertainment value I've already received and spend my winnings on something foolish, like a taco from an unfamiliar taco truck.

It's a poor and stupid tax.

It's also an occasional source of amusement. I feel like I've received at least $2 worth of fun from the purchases. Sometimes I'll give them to folks as part of a present, strictly for entertainment.

Buying more than a few per year is dumb. That's not entertainment, that's gambling.

Given that the average healthy body temperature is ~98.6โฐ F, and humidity on the Gulf Coast tends to be so high you gotta drink the air, I prefer temperatures 85โฐ or lower.

With high temperatures and high humidity, sweat can't even evaporate, forcing your internal body temperature into unhealthy feverish levels. I'm not a fan of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

I'm also not a fan of freezing temperatures either, but at least people can dress in layers to keep warm when it's cold.

My knee-jerk reaction to this article from @adamshostack was a cynical [citation needed] re โ€œartists from all mediums emphatically support the use of AI.โ€

On further reflectionโ€ฆwell, thatโ€™s still my response to the eyeball-grabbing lede, yes, but the actual article is what I wish weโ€™d had instead of this inane hype avalanche:

Artists poking at the new thing, playing with it, finding its possibilities, critiquing it, problematizing it, asking us to ask what it is, helping us see it with fresh eyes from many angles. infosec.exchange/@adamshostackโ€ฆ

in reply to Paul Cantrell

The arts and education โ€” when they are at their best, anyway โ€” have in common this deep root: they ask us to see and to think and to feel, to see with fresh eyes, to be aware of our own seeing, to be โ€ขactiveโ€ข in our seeing.

In that way, both the arts and education are antidotes to the AI hype cycle, and similar endeavors of capitalism run amok.

in reply to Paul Cantrell

Iโ€™m fond of quipping that arts education is โ€ขtheโ€ข foundational form of education, and that education in any field should never stray too far from being arts education.

Itโ€™s little wonder that the forces that push investment bubbles and wealth concentration are so hostile to both the arts and education. And we need to recognize that hostility, which is so often cloaked as support:

in reply to Paul Cantrell

But hereโ€™s the thing: anyone could make music โ€ขbeforeโ€ข gen AI. Some more skilled or more artistically successful than others, sure! But thatโ€™s not the point. โ€ขDoing itโ€ข is the point. โ€ขLiving itโ€ข is the point.

A product that promises to generate it for you so that you neither do it nor live it is antithetical to the point, is hostile to the idea of art itself.

(Note: thatโ€™s exactly what the artists in the OP are โ€ขnotโ€ข doing! They are all grabbing the AI and actively โ€ขdoingโ€ข and โ€ขlivingโ€ข while poking at the curious new object.)

in reply to Paul Cantrell

Similarly, hostility to education cloaks itself as support by saying that education should be useful, should be practical, should be focused only on what students need, should be narrowed to what students need, should narrow students, should narrow students into being only what capitalism needs.

I wrote extensively about this dangerous line of thought here:

Maria Montessori:

โOur care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.โž

โWe cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.โž

i don't think i disagree with any of your "actual" points, but i kinda don't like the specific phrasing of "anyone could make music <or other art form>"

i've recently been doing some more-serious self-experiments and found that I *definitely* (neurologically?) cannot hear what other people seem to hear in music (amusia is a thing, apparently). everyone around me nowadays also suspects i have awful undiagnosed dyspraxia which made me *hate* "doing art" as a child

More Americans are biting their tongues, not because they donโ€™t care, but because theyโ€™re afraid to speak.

From DEI to the war in Gaza, people are more afraid to speak their minds now than during the Red Scare, according to a political scientist who has been conducting surveys.

This โ€œspiral of silenceโ€ is real. Itโ€™s stifling democratic debate and amplifying the loudest, most aggressive voices.

Russia's terror attacks against Ukraine have significantly increased the last 3 months and reached another height. 477 drones, 46 cruise missiles and 14 ballistic missiles were used only last night. The targets of this terror attack were all far from the frontlines.

Putin is clearly feeling emboldened by the indecisiveness of the West, especially by this US administration, but also by European timidness. It proves once more that appeasement only emboldens Russian aggression and causes more war.

@BasedLunatic @SiRrogueKnight It's the top of the morning on the last day of the finals and...well, SiRrogueKnight is very much in the lead still.

That's right, this match is 49-39 in what is one of the healthier turnouts for this tournament! The match leader - SRK - has taken up the bold approach of showcasing a favorite boomer pasttime: mocking child abuse victims! :kannawoah:

I have my spreadsheet up: I am staring at *at least five* people who would have almost certainly voted for Dicey if not for that behavior. Truly, SiRrogueKnight has taken this lead - it hasn't just been given to him.

Dicey, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. He's correctly enacted the strategy of "not sperging all over the finals thread." The end of the tournament proper is coming up about 12 hours from now. A 10 vote lead is certainly something that can be overcome, but it's a challenge with only half a day left. Can Sui and Owl grab up ten more people to vote for Dicey, or will they spend the next year licking their wounds and sharpening their knives to try to see Dicey win next time?

@Gerhard Hallstein Du kannst #Hashtags folgen, indem Du die Suche nach einem solchen speicherst. Das nutze ich als Schleppnetz: Selbst wenn eine Hashtagsuche nichts erbringt, folge ich dem Hashtag.

If you're the kind of person who follows me, you may know about the Kessler Syndrome.

That's when collisions between satellites and space junk create enough debris to cause *more* collisions, leading to a runaway chain reaction. This could render certain regions of near-Earth space unusable!

It's one of nature's ways of containing stupid civilizations, sort of like how inflammation contains infections. So don't be surprised:

A new study by Lewis and Kessler argues that we've hit the "runaway threshold" - the point where a chain reaction is expected - at nearly all altitudes between 520 and 1000 kilometers.

Below that, or above that, space could remain usable. So we could still get out and ruin other layers of space - or go to other planets and mess up those. Luckily, planned deployments of large satellite constellations like Starlink, Amazon's Project Kuiper, etc. will reduce the risk of such a breakout.

Yes, I'm joking - we can differ on whether the expansion of stupidity into the cosmos would be a good or bad thing compared to a mostly dead cosmos, and I don't really have an opinion on that. But the study is for real, and worth checking out:
