I picked up a dot matrix vfd at Active Surplus one time but of course had no controller chip or any idea how to make it work. was neat to look at though

quote:

I usually have a sandwich for lunch, so this was a pretty exciting moment for me. Until I opened the box.

This meal was made up of vacuum-sealed reconstituted food units. There were three units of salmon, two of sweet potato, and one of asparagus.

They looked like protein pellets for the discerning survivalist.

...

There was an uncanny-valley thing happening there. I think once you run food through a grinder and pour it into a mold, you�ve officially left the earthly plane and entered the otherworldly sphere of industrial food design, where the raspberries are blue and the flaming-hot Cheetos are mysteriously addictive. Flavor gets food science-y. There�s a suspension of disbelief. Nobody�s thinking about real cheese when they�re eating Doritos.

But when you generate a square-shaped facsimile of asparagus that tastes exactly like asparagus but doesn�t feel like asparagus, it�s a little horrifying. It�s not a flavor explosion with asparagus as one of the ingredients, it�s just asparagus with the texture stripped away.

It was like eating a sad, square-shaped memory of what food once was.

quote:

Val Kilmer, the star of movies as wide-ranging as Top Gun, Batman Forever, Heat, and The Prince of Egypt, withdrew from the public eye following a throat cancer diagnosis and two tracheotomies which left his ability to express himself vocally severely impaired. He now speaks using a voice box.

"Speaking, once my joy and lifeblood, has become an hourly struggle," Kilmer wrote in his 2020 memoir I'm Your Huckleberry, describing his voice as "Marlon Brando after a couple of bottles of tequila. It isn�t a frog in my throat. More like a buffalo."

But now, fans of the actor are able to once again hear his voice. Kilmer�who is returning to the big screen in the long-awaited sequel Top Gun: Maverick later this year�has partnered with tech company Sonantic to generate a version of his speech using artificial intelligence, based on existing footage and recordings of his voice.

that's why double opt-in should be mandatory for anything. I don't give a gently caress about "friction", if you're gonna use emails for signing up to poo poo, make sure it's reaching the person who requested it. it's fuckin 2022 already.

otoh that Tesla story is funny as balls
