2024.05.14 07:00 SerpentEmperor In a galaxy filled with Humans in a space oper what are some ways to show the sheer scale of humanity?

Basically I'm interested to know how enormous or how much you can show the size, scale and etc of Humanity ruling the galaxy. In this case humans are the only sentient species in the galaxy. No other sentient interstellar civilization has been around or like existing. Just humans. The interstellar government has been around for 1000 years now. The human population tends to live in habitable worlds in the galaxy and number in 1018 or 1 quintillion humans. 1 billion on average for every world. And there's 1 billion worlds. Think of it just Basically like say a modernish human like civilization but macro imposed. Faster than light travel is possible but it's "slow" in that it's only travels 1000 times the speed of light (I.e. it takes say a day or so to get to the nearest star system) . Which Basically means that travelling from one end of the galaxy to the other takes like 120 years even with ftl but its still fast. Communications are 1 million times faster than the speed of light so something that happens on end of the galaxy will end up with known or possible transferred and known in 1.5 months. Adult Human lifespans are 10 times longer here or 738 years on average though most people reach adulthood at 18 and then have a "slowed aging" from then on until they die 720 years later instead of 90, due to it taking 720 years to biologically age 72.
I'm just super curious to know how to show the sheer scale of such a human civilization. Ideas anyone?

2024.05.14 06:56 MyspaceMafia Frontiersman (Part 1)

Frontiersman No. 0012: Duke Collins
I snapped up in my seat with the notifications sounding on my ship's Heads-Up Display, telling me that I'd arrived in the next system. Hopefully this one would have at least something of interest. For 2 years now I had been doing this; going system to system, scanning areas of interest or systems that merit valuable expansion. That's the fate of someone like me. I'm a criminal. It turns out punching your superior officer in United Navy Advanced Flight School is grounds for an immediate court-marshal, and 12 years in a military prison. To be fair though, the guy was a bit of a dick, and I'm pretty sure he had it out for me ever since I beat him in the simulators when he was trying to make an example of us new recruits. That aside though, when it was announced that a new program was available for qualified individuals in lieu of serving time, it was a no brainer for me. They stuff you full of experimental hardware/cybernetics, throw you on a decent sized ship filled to bursting with experimental/cutting-edge upgrades and capable of being piloted by one person, and exile you from Humanity controlled space, with the sole mission of exploring. I'm required to make logs while I travel, and leave buoys behind to relay the logs back to the United Terran Systems. So that's me.. Duke Collins, Frontiersman number twelve.
"Aerie, Anything on the scans?", I asked my shipboard AI.
"The nearest planetary body is showing signs of life, Captain." Aerie responded in a cool voice. Her voice was a recent development, in the last 5 months or so. She was one of those experimental things added to the ship when I was tossed out here, and it seems like she's actually getting... smarter? United Terran Systems hasn't really developed AI yet, but I was the lucky sucker to have their first big attempt thrown into my ship. There's a room about 5x7 meters near the aft of the ship filled with all sorts of high-tech storage and processing tech, but about 4 months into our journey my "computer" began requesting stops at resource rich asteroids to harvest materials for our synthesizers, and suddenly I'm performing upgrades to the room that she had developed herself. She turned out to be a great proof of concept, but also my only companion and friend in this lonely journey.
"Don't fuck with me, Aerie, and stop calling me Captain." I replied. She responded with a giggle through the speakers. I knew it was just for my sake, but it made her feel more like a real person, and I appreciated that. I think she liked to emulate organic life as well, for some reason.
Aerie relented, "Nothing of note on the scanners, Duke." She emphasized my name. "Although we aren't in range of all of the planetary bodies yet, and there's a few sizeable gas giants on the opposite side of the star."
"Well, lets get over there, I'm eager to leave another boring system behind." I replied. This job was a way to avoid jail time, if you meet the qualifications, but it was a prison of it's own kind. Spending all of this time in a ship the size of an moderate apartment could get cramped, and being alone this long can start to affect the mind. I seemed to be doing alright, but I honestly think i'm just riding the high of finally having someone to really talk to.
With Aerie's help, we input the coordinates for the opposite side of the start and the FTL drive began to spool. Within a few seconds we were on the opposite side of the star, and lasers were passing over the bow of the ship.
"Aerie, what the hell is going on!?" I shouted, and slammed the throttle to 100%. Inertia Dampeners be damned, it still hurt like hell. In an instant, we were rocketing through space, away from what appeared to be an active engagement.
Aerie chimed in, "Powering up reactive shielding, uh, for the first time. It seems that, while the planets were identified before warping to system, we were unable to identify the ships behind the interference from the local star. Recommend leaving the area."
"Well hold on now, Aerie," I retorted, "scan those ships, lets see what's going on out here." I swung the ship around, from what I believed to be a safe distance, and looked at the active engagement taking place. "Aerie, are those ships... even Terran?". Looking at the vessels, I didn't recognize any of them. One of the ships was shaped like a sleek, white, cylindrical pod, with black glass at the front that was undoubtedly the pilot's viewport. It had a sweeping tail that formed a half-ring loop on the stern of the ship just above the rear thrusters. It rolled and twisted erratically as it attempted to escape it's pursuers.
The attacking ships, at least from the looks of it, were much less graceful. They were a dull, dark brown, almost black, and sported large flat surfaces on the front, in which rested the weapons that were being actively fired at the fleeing vessel. It seemed that whoever created these ships somehow managed to take a few blocky cigar shapes and stuff them together, clearly more function over form. The function seemed to be working as intended though, as shots connected with the fleeing vessel, and engines began to flicker out.
"Scanning...Scanning completed." reported Aerie. "The vessels appear to be of 2 separate make. The lead vessel appears to be a simple transport, and sports no weapons or shielding. The FTL drive function is unknown. In short time, the vessel will be destroyed. The pursuing vessels appear to have some form of laser based weaponry, schematics and build are unknown. There is technology aboard the vessels that I am unable to discern at this time, but I believe some to be a form of very basic shielding, of a completely different function than our own. Recommend vacating the area."
My adrenaline was pumping, the cybernetics in my brain processing the combat at enhanced speeds. I wanted so badly to get involved, to be the hero that saves the day, but I know better. Just because a ship is being chased, doesn't mean that they're the good guys. As if to answer my prayers though, one ship peeled off and began moving my way. I gripped the controls to my vessel and waited.
"Come on... do it. Make my day. I'm so, so bored. Do it. DO IT." I kept thinking to myself. I had no idea what I was up against, but anything was better than rolling through space for another 10 years, and maybe I'd finally be able to put some of that oh-so-expensive schooling that our sweet Terran overlords brag about to some use.
A flash of light. I yank on the control stick, sending my ship into a sideways tumble as laser fire rolls across the length of my ship, barely missing me. My inertia dampeners and cybernetic muscle and bone fibers helping absorb the massive g-forces.
A smile flashes across my face. "Aerie, I have a better idea." Aiming towards the fleeing vessel and it's lone pursuer, I roll the sticks forward, sending us rocketing in their direction, and away from the one that chose me as it's target. "We're going to be heroes."

2024.05.14 06:41 shadowlarx That Thing You Do! (1996)

That Thing You Do! (1996)
Guy Patterson (Tom Everett Scott) is an aspiring jazz drummer who gets asked to fill in with local band The Oneders (Johnathon Schaech, Steve Zahn, Ethan Embry) when their drummer breaks his arm. When Guy uses a faster tempo for the band’s song “That Thing You Do”, they win a local talent show, which starts them on the road to national stardom. After signing with record executive Mr. White (Tom Hanks), the band begins touring the country under their new name, The Wonders. Joining them on tour is Jimmy’s girlfriend, Faye (Liv Tyler), and the group starts to revel in their success as they climb the charts. However, things quickly begin to crack and the band eventually becomes nothing more than a one-hit wonder.
Tom Hanks just has no end to his talent as he not only starred in this film but wrote and directed it and even wrote one of the songs on the soundtrack. Aside from Hanks, there are great performances from Scott, Schaech and Tyler as we watch the love triangle unfold between Jimmy, Faye and Guy. Charlize Theron has a nice supporting role as an old flame of Guy’s and Zahn and Embry round out the ensemble nicely. The music is solid and really helps sell the 60s vibe of the story. Overall, a really fun movie.

2024.05.14 06:39 DragCommercial1021 $20 YZY Hoodie First Impressions

Ordered the Plain Yeezy Hoodie in black back in April 1st, I finally got it in hand not that long ago and gave it a quick test. This hoodie isn’t thick, but it’s not thin either, and it’s pretty soft on the inside. I ordered a size 3 and this thing is WIDE wide. Like, wider than my YZY Gap Perfect Hoodie wide. The sleeves are MASSIVE, tons of room on the body, the neck feels really snug, and the hood is kinda small. It also wrinkles pretty easily for some reason, I’ll have to give it another couple of wears to see how easy it wrinkles. Overall, if you’re thinking of buying it, go for it! It’s a great hoodie for $20, and a perfect choice if you want that Yeezy Gap type of fit without breaking the bank! I’ll do a size chart comparison soon, I’ll compare it with the other Yeezy Gap hoodies I have and share it here!!

2024.05.14 06:11 cosmic0done Lala planned a "Scandoval" from day 1 with Rand & is seething that it instead happened to Ariana

That's why she's so beside herself with rage. If we look at her entire deal with Randall, she looked at him as her meal ticket who would definitely cheat on her, then she could be the scorned lover and win the public's favor, as well as his money.
Their relationship was always transactional. She never cared about love & true partnership, she wanted the money & connections Randall could provide and wanted to lock in a kid so she could secure access to his money when she left (which she planned from day 1). Lala knew he was a drug using scumbag fucking around with young women bc she WAS one of those young women & was with him when he was doing drugs. While she was still partying she was happy to partake and party with celebrities and pretend like she wasnt just some random bitch from Utah whose biggest accomplishment was sucking dicks for money.
She was happy to bide her time until a kid came and as soon as she had that meal ticket, all the rumors of Randall (which had always been around) sUdDeNLY started mattering to her. A woman with a newborn baby surely would hit the sympathy jackpot. I think the plan was always to leave with a newborn for maximum effect. So after the season, but before the reunion, she made her move. Blow up one of the many Randall rumors, and get her soap opera performance ready for the reunion where she can sit and fake sob about how blindsided & disgusted she was. By ensuring she missed that season for filming, she thought she was locking in an entire season following HER on how could this have happened? the sad, scorned lover with a newborn? how is she doing? how will she get through this? tonight at 9, follow the riveting story of a racially appropriating sugar baby who sucked dicks for 1 hour jet rides, left in the dust by the married-with-kids man she shamelessly and knowingly home wrecked.
the Randall doc came out in May 2023 which is when the finale/reunions air for each season so she planned on having her moment all season (we saw previews for S10 of her clearly talking to Randall that we never ended up seeing so we know it was originally in the cards), really taking it home at the reunion, then that documentary coming out right then when people are paying attention, then proceeding to go on a media tour fake crying to whoever would listen about how "DANGEROUS" this man was & how "SCARED" she was and thank God her & her baby made it out in time from this MONSTER. *clutches pearls* what a true survivor, this dick suckin' Lala Kent is. 🥲
....until SCANDOVAL. not only did that shove the entire story arc of S10 in an entirely different direction, it took all of the attention or care away from her sham of a breakup. Because ultimately, no one gave a single fuck about her leaving Randall, nor that he cheated on her. No one was surprised some fat ugly producer who left his wife & kids for a 20something would do the same thing again. We were about to get force fed that stupid ass storyline and Scandoval spared us all from that farce. And as a result, all the cheating/dramatic breakup attention she would've gotten went entirely to Ariana, Tom, and Raquel instead. And not just that, but how incestuous, egregious and depraved the details surrounding the affair were, combined with being an exceptionally slow ACTUAL (world/political/economic/sports) news week, the entire world paid attention more than they ever would have, and the affair blew up bigger than anything Bravo has ever seen.
Cut to Lala SEETHING, absolutely fucking SEETHING, that not only was her entire storyline she'd plotted and planned for YEARS punted, but punted for a story she desperately tried to contrive, but which was 9000x more insane, organically. An affair involving the longest relationship on the show with a best friend? And the best friend/mistress being by far the LEAST suspected person on all of Bravo to pull that shit? and because it was such a massive ordeal, has continued now to the next season as well, so any attempt of her dragging her Randall pity party back AFTER s10, had no hope bc it was just too far since it happened (and no one cared from day 1 anyway). So her whole game she laid out and planned for literal YEARS was now swept out to sea, as she watched the Ariana ship floating along and accidentally becoming the exact sympathy-winning, opportunity-getting, beloved star she had always wanted to and tried to become.
So not only was her years planned end goal of being the ultimate victim & getting all this attention for being the scorned lover of some evil Hollywood producer NOT achieved, Randall doesnt even have any money for her to mooch off of (which was her other half of the plan), and Ariana became America's sweetheart & the ultimate peak sympathy-earning victim, the very season Lala planned on desperately trying to earn that exact crown through her plotting. and once Lala was no longer able to leech off the popularity of the scandal to get extra money/opportunities (e.g. Send it to Darrell), the true fury of her storyline attempt being usurped set in.
She views her years long play as being thwarted by Scandoval. but Lauren's shit with Randall would have never, in a million years, have become what Scandoval was. EVER. but since Scandoval overtook it, she probably thinks it WOULD have bc we never got to see it NOT be (even though all the fans know damn well none of us cared). And so that brings us to today. Lala is blind with rage, bitterness, and envy and can't even pretend to be nice to Ariana anymore bc Ariana is everything she wanted to be. And isn't, nor will ever be. This is what happens when you don't live authentically, Lauren.

2024.05.14 06:09 SASwitch Possible Gen 10 game mechanic

In the past we’ve seen mechanics be trialled in previous games before expanding into full mechanics in subsequent games (e.g Wild Areas in Sword & Shield, Semi-open world in Legends Arceus and then full open world in Violet & Scarlet).
Given that, I think that the Pokemon synchro machine seen in the Indigo Disc DLC is a preview of a possible game mechanic in Gen 10 (and we might even see a more fleshed out version in Legends Z-A).
The idea I had was that during the game you are required to enter special dungeons/areas and that you must either sync up with your party Pokemon or use a specific Pokemon (such as a flying Pokemon for a flight based dungeon) in order to clear them. These would be mandatory story moments similar to Scarlet & Violet’s team Star base raids.
Taking this a step further, if Gen 10 is set in an Australian-inspired region (and I hope it is), this could be how they implement the concept of Dreamtime/The Dreaming, where you must enter the dreams of specific Pokemon in order to progress through the game (perhaps to calm them down or get them to move out of the way). The legendary of the game could even be used to facilitate this (similar to Miraidon/Koraidon’s role in the aforementioned games), possibly having an ability to allow humans to enter the dreams of troubled Pokemon?
They could expand on the functionality of the synchro machine by giving each dungeon Pokemon unique dream abilities, attacks or puzzles (similar to the Titan battles).
What do you think? Would you like it if this was a game mechanic in Gen 10?
And would you prefer to be able to freely control any Pokemon for these dungeons or have to use specific Pokemon?

Could your Tracendeversal oc beat fang?
Has all of ferrics abilities at a better rate (extreme regen and adaptability and evolution) Has all of grims abilities but can summon void within the world. (Void is a in-verse material that is a phenomenon, it’s both material, place, concept, space, and more.)
Cosmic knowledge of anyones fears, worries, traumatic experiences and memories. can shapeshift and morph into those fears and worries along with whatever abilities they posses, Can alter senses, feelings, and emotions. Feeds off fear, worry, anxiety, hesitation, nightmares. He can see a physical aura around you, the more your scared the more he sees the aura, he can channel it and absorb it, which ultimately he uses to boost himself. The worst the fear, the stronger it makes him.
Instant teleportation, deadly aura that within a large range deletes and kills off anything living, whether it be organic, biblical, spiritual or otherwise mechanical. Ferrics cells would die off, a robots metal would corrode and rust and snap apart. Grims tendrils would just dissipate into ash. Including her. A regular human ages and dies within seconds.
Tanked a blow to his head that otherwise shook and quaked around the multiverse he was in. Only giving him a slight headache.
Got erased down to nothing just to pop right back in due to their still being a lingering presence of fear for him. As long as you’re scared of him, and think of him, he will respawn through the memory, or the nightmare. Where he resides always.
Can alter and manipulate the world and universe to his liking once he’s covered it all in “void” becoming its own God through his control over it. In it, anything he wills becomes true. Used this to strip ferric and everything else of any power or magic. Making them nothing more than durable stress toys.
can interact with shadows, dreams, thoughts, either destroying them or controlling them. Influencing the ideas of someone.
his own beam, the light of death. Is similar to darkseids laser beams. It travels at speed beyond time. He can move its trajectory or change its speed, and if it’s his it’s target, their body, spirit, being is sucked in and swallowed
Gaining no abilities but just trapping them in his body. Which is like trapping them in a dark cell, endless nothing as there’s no sound, feeling, or light, everything they have is stripped away. Like as if they’re floating in space with no way to die.
Two Jupiter sized planets were tossed into his direction. He punched one arm in each and used them as boxing gloves, very large boxing gloves, to pound a star-sized being to death. Out of a stunt to show off.
got sent into grims dimension, just to tear it apart from inside out and take control. Stripping control away from grim and killing her.
in an attempt to get rid of him, they had a universal-level nuke go off in the verse he was in. He was able to physically grab the blast itself and manipulated it into a small bullet. Shooting himself with it as he spat it out, to show off.
His “soul” was sucked out of him. Absorbed by a being that could so. Just for the soul to kill the being from within its grasp. Fang watched in joy as it did so and came back to him.
his body was cut in half by a sword that negated regen. He regened anyway, then ate the sword before beating the weirder to death with the hilt.
a part of his body was able to be taken and analyzed to see how his cells worked. They had a mircroscope that couldn’t reach the smallest point in the cell as it kept having to magnify until it reached its limit.
to scare the verse, he sucked all the stars energy into one single beam that he dispensed from the tips of his fingers like bullets. These microscopic bullets shredded every planet they hit. Per bullet.
And thought his enemy has he can see, any idea for strategy, the next move they’ll make, what they’ll say next even, he can see it.
Even with time manipulation, he can remember it, and even worse, he follows with the manipulation, go back in time to kill him before he could kill you? His past self is immediately brought up to speed his present self had. He knows.
biblical weapons tickle, magic makes him giggle. Pure physical strength has gotten him to sweat before.
he was absorbed by grims mass to copy his abilities just for the mass to completely disintegrate.
Went toe to toe with ferric and won (just in pure strength. Beating him nearly to death as his punches were exploding bits and pieces of ferric, he couldn’t regen from it either as fangs punches were so powerful they completely disintegrate the bits of ferric from his strikes. Leaving him on the brink)
His personality is that of AM. If you’ve read the book then you’d know he is a crazy maniac that takes joy in hurting specific people, feeling trapped and justified in his vile actions. He does this to feel something but never the less can’t feel anything, pain, cold, love.
So who’s up first!

2024.05.14 05:28 Otherwise_Abies_8494 5 Takeaways from the Mallards-Gators opening series.

1. Kolm pitching and confidence.
In a series that had many interesting storylines such as Jorgensen’s and Behen’s first series with their new teams, Evan’s first official series in MLW after being drafted with the first overall pick in the past draft and Cheetam’s first series as manager it was Preston Kolm who caught my eye the most.
I thought that surely Jorgensen would get the ball for game 2. Instead, manager Tommy Coughlin decided to go with Preston, clearly, he impressed him in the offseason, and he certainly impressed me as well. He showed great command, his pitches looked sharp, movement was working, and you could see that as he got deeper into the game his confidence was rising, he even broke out a Kracht-esque sidestep pitch for a strikeout. He ended up with a no hitter and a near perfect game just ruined by a single walk.
Now, with no intention of ruining the Mallards hype party, it is important to note that the Gators are probably not the most competitive team in the league, and their offense might be the weakest of all teams. They only scored one run in 9 innings (granted, the Mallards scored 2) but still, it was an amazing first outing for Kolm.
What was interesting to watch is that the confidence was not only bounded to pitching, but it carried over to everything else. He made some nice defensive plays in the field including a really tough one. At the plate he reached in 4 out of his 6 plate appearances.
I will follow his progress closely as the season goes on, but the Mallards suddenly have really nice depth in their rotation, with 3 very capable arms on the roster.
2. Sawyer Behen can pitch!
Coming into this series many eyes where on Behen, and for good reason. After the very loud and controversial trade that saw Behen land with the Gators, there is a lot of pressure on him to perform this year, especially with the comments he made during the offseason, and if this series is any indication of what we will see from him, ohh boy did the Gators win this trade. After Jorgensen’s departure the Gators will need to fill the franchise player vacancy. And while I don’t think Behen can be enough of a hitter to fill that void, he showed he can be the face of the Gators pitching staff. Behen looked unhittable, and aside from a Robles rocket to left field, no one really made strong contact off him. His final line was 7IP, 1ER, 16K and 9BB. With Behen at this level on the mound, rookie Evans talent and Cheetam as a third arm the Gators quietly have a solid rotation, capable of winning games even against the most dangerous offenses as they nearly did in the 3 games against the Mallards.
3. Gators rookies are here!
Aiden Richard joined the Gators as an undrafted free agent, and while I’m sure it was not the debut he hoped for, as he went 0-2 and had a whoopsie play in right field that resulted in a Robles home run which ended up being the winning run for the Mallards. He looked good. He was responsible for one of the few Gators’ hard-hit balls, unfortunately it went just foul instead of what would have been a monster home run. But his swing looks good, he clearly has power and I think as the season goes on and as he racks up more plate appearances, he will be a good player for the Gators.
As for fist overall pick Jeremy Adams it was mixed bag, he started off great with a well hit ball to open the series for the Gators but wasn’t able to get any hits after that. Still, he managed to reach base 4 times in 10 PA’s. Which was the best mark on his team. The swing looks dangerous and there is definitively a power threat in there. I think it will take some time for him to adjust to MLW pitchers and rules, but I am confident he will figure it out. However, what really impressed me was his pitching. It is normal for first year players to struggle as pitchers, but Evans looked as comfortable as a veteran star pitcher. He only allowed one run in 3 innings of work and that run should have a major asterisk next to it, as Richard pushed the ball over the fence on a batted ball that would have never made it past the fence without some help. Overall, I loved what I saw from him on the mound, and Behen now must be absolutely remarkable if he doesn’t want to lose his spot as the guy in the pitching rotation. I would go as far as to say that Evans might already be the best second arm in the league, (if he will be the second arm for much longer is really in question) to say he has ace potential is an underestimation.
4. What happened to the Mallards offense?
If you would have told me that the Mallards would manage only 2 runs in the whole series against the Gators, I would have called you crazy. Nevertheless, that is exactly what happened, and I have no idea what to think about it. I had previously called the new Mallards offense the best assembled lineup in modern MLW history. The fact that they couldn’t really get anything going against a rookie pitcher and a 2.48 ERA pitcher in Behen is honestly, surprising. There is no point in trying to analyze why this happened. Its too small of a sample size. Let’s just call it an off day for them, but its something that is worth paying attention for their next series.
5. What happened to the cheat code?
I believed Cheetam could return to his usual form as a hitter, after an awful 2023 season, but it was a torrid start. If the Gators want to play playoff baseball this season, they need Cheetam’s bat to wake up. He is now the leader of this incredible young team, and I fear that if they keep getting no production out of him their season will be a short one.

Giving Away S and XS Binders
I've got two binders I've outgrown that I'd like to give to someone who can't afford one or access one safely. I can cover shipping. The one on the left is a GC2B size small. GC2B's sizing chart / instructions-> https://www.gc2b.co/ pages/sizing The second binder is size XS, it was bought from an Asian cosplay company (can't remember the name), but it still does a pretty good job of flattening.

2024.05.14 04:56 IcyZookeepergame6538 [Timex Ironman] > [G-Shock]?

[Timex Ironman] > [G-Shock]?
https://preview.redd.it/eu0thhx54b0d1.jpg?width=1982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2cf2099cf0045736bf69e30cd2654979295d60e
I've had many G-Shocks and always end up giving them away (or selling them if they are valuable enough).
I've got this 34mm Ironman Classic 30 and it's so much easier to use and even at $60 the strap is more comfortable than the expensive Made in Japan G-Shocks. I believe they come in three sizes 34mm, 38mm, and 42mm as well.
I know this isn't a cool watch but as a utilitarian device it's just so much better. The stop watch function is easier to use, the time is easier to set as you can quickly zero the seconds with a push of a button (although the radio set feature is nice on G-Shocks).
The G-Shock squares are the easiest to live with G-Shocks but they give off some what of a retro-nerd vibe. Any G-Shock with hands I ended up getting rid of quickly because they have poor legibility. With the Timex it just looks like I'm poor or don't care.

2024.05.14 04:50 JivaHiva Paradise planets

I'm searching for paradise planets that are earth like. I've been looking for planets within a yellow star, F or G series, between 4 – 6, p, and water. The problem is that F planets have appeared to disappear completely. Like literally it doesn't matter what nebula I'm in or region the F planets are gone the closer I get to Sol. Does anyone know if this is normal that the F planets are farther away and the G planets are closer cause all I'm getting is G planets. I mean out of F&G of course there are the other ones as well but I'm only looking for F or G planets and I'm only getting G now.

2024.05.14 04:42 ExternalFollowing I watched all 22 demo videos of OpenAI’s new GPT-4o. Here are the 9 takeaways we all should know.

GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) was announced a few hours ago by OpenAI, and although the announcement livestream is good, the real gold nuggets are in the 22 demo videos they posted on their channel.
I watched all of them, and here are the key takeaways and use cases we all should know. 👍🏻
A. The Ultimate Learning Partner
What is it? Give GPT-4o a view of the math problem you’re working on, or the objects you want to learn the language translation of, and it can teach you like no other tool can.
Why should you care? Imagine when you can hook up GPT-4o to something like the Meta Rayban glasses: then you can always have it teach you about whatever you are looking at. That can be a math problem, an object you want translated, a painting you want the history of, or a product that you want get the reviews of online. This single feature alone has incredibly many use-cases!
🔗 Video 7, Video 8
B. The Perfect Teams Meeting Assistant
What is it? Having an AI assistant during Teams meetings, whom you can talk to the same way you talk to your colleagues.
Why should you care? Their demo didn’t expound on the possibilities yet, but some of them can be…
  • having the AI summarise the minutes and next steps from the meeting
  • having the AI look up info in your company data and documentation pages (e.g. “what’s the sales from this month last year?”)
  • having the AI work on data analysis problems with you (e.g. “create a chart showing sales over the past 5 years and report on trends”)
🔗 Video 5
C. Prepare for Interviews like Never Before
What is it? Have GPT-4o act like the company you’re interviewing for.
Why should you care? What’s changed is that the AI can now “see” you. So instead of just giving feedback on what you say, it can also give feedback on how you say it. Layer this on top of an AI avatar and maybe you can simulate the interview itself in the future?
🔗 Video 11
D. Your Personal Language Translator, wherever you go
What is it? Ask ChatGPT to translate between languages, and then speak normally.
Why should you care? Because of how conversational GPT-4o has become, the AI now helps not just with translating the words, but also the intonation of what you’re intending to say. Now pair this with GPT-enabled earphones in a few years, and you pretty much can understand any language (AirPods x ChatGPT, anyone?)
🔗 Video 3
E. Share Screen with your AI Coding Assistant
What is it? Share screen with your AI partner, and have them guide you through your work.
Why should you care? Now this is definitely something that will happen pretty soon. Being able to “share screen” to your AI assistant can help not just with coding, but even with other non-programmer tasks such as work in excel, powerpoint, etc.
🔗 Video 20
F. A future where AIs interact with each other
What is it? Two GPT-4o’s interacting with each other, that sounds indistinguishable from two people talking. (They even sang a song together!)
Why should you care? Well there’s a couple of use cases:
  • can you imagine AI influencers talking to each other live on Tiktok? Layer this conversation with AI avatars and this will be a step beyond the artificial influencers you have today (e.g. the next level of @lilmiquela maybe?)
  • can this be how “walled” AIs can work together in the future? example: Meta’s AI would only have access to facebook’s data, while Google’s AI would only have access to google’s - will the two AIs be able interact in a similar fashion to the demo, albeit behind-the-scenes?
🔗 Video 2
G. AI Caretaking?
What is it? Asking GPT-4o to "train” your pets
Why should you care? Given GPT-4o’s access to vision, can you now have AI personal trainers for your pets? Imagine being able to have it connect to a smart dog-treat dispenser, and have the AI use that to teach your dog new tricks!
🔗 Video 12
H. Brainstorm with two GPTs
What is it? The demo shows how you can talk to two GPT-4o’s at once
Why should you care? The demo video is centered around harmonizing singing for some reason, but I think the real use case is being able to brainstorm with two specific AI personalities at once:
  • one’s a Devil’s Advocate, the other’s the Angel’s advocate?
  • one provides the Pros (the Optimist), the other gives the Cons (the Pessimist)?
  • maybe Disney can even give a future experience where you can talk to Joy and Sadness from the movie Inside Out? - that would be interesting!
🔗 Video 10
I. Accessibility for the Blind
What is it? Have GPT-4o look at your surroundings and describe it for you
Why should you care? Imagine sending it the visual feed from something like the Meta Rayban glasses, and your AI assistant can literally describe what you’re seeing, and help you navigate your surroundings like never before (e.g. “is what I’m holding a jar of peanut butter, or a jar of vegemite?”). This will definitely be a game-changer for how the visually impaired lives their daily lives.
🔗 Video 13
If this has been a tad bit insightful, I hope you can check out RoboNuggets where I originally shared this and other AI-related practical knowledge! (The links to the video demos are also there). My goal is not "AI daily news", as there's already too many of those, but instead share useful insights/knowledge for everyone to take full advantage of the new AI normal. Cheers! 🥚
