Alibaba in some ways.
Nasreddin Hoca is the most popular Turkish folk hero
Anansi the Spider is a great trickster folklore character from the Akan in Ghana. I loved these stories as a kid and had a great book on tape.
Can’t go wrong with this list:
"By using non-parametric trends30,31 and considering an ensemble of 146 CMIP533 and CMIP634 climate model runs (Tables S1 and S2), we identify regions where wetting and drying patterns converge across the globe. Our trend-based approach aligns with the continuous nature of radiative forcing35, provides flexibility and robustness in detecting and quantifying global warming-induced changes, and effectively controls for natural variability36.
Our innovative approach (see “Methods”) evaluates the entire time-series using no interannual averaging and combines information from the fullest range of GCM projections available to determine their agreement and the extent of precipitation impacts with no ensemble aggregation. This is important because each set of simulations provides a plausible storyline of future precipitation patterns under elevated global warming, rather than using aggregated data which can obscure important trends and patterns."
Read the methods before commenting on them please. This study uses 146 different simulation models and takes a non-averaged median projected value to generate the final projections.
To build on this, it would be accurate to say that Anarchy is the principle upon which the technologies of Anarchism are built. Rather than a political system, which inherently function through obligation of participation or subjugation, the technologies of anarchism are participatory. That is to say anarchism provides methodologies of engagement between individuals and groups to achieve outcomes without obligation or subjugation which are imposed by the system, replacing those attributes of hierarchy instead with consent, participation, and consensus which are fundamentally voluntary and opt-in in nature.
Another way to say this is that Political Systems are means by which a group forces rules upon individuals, while Anarchism is a set of methods by which individuals can perform actions as groups.
Maybe a Swiss Franc or Japanese Yen peg might suit them better, if they could buy enough volume.
Maybe Atlantis? Also maybe the fremen parts of Dune, though that again is more primitivist in some respects.
I’d say overall Solarpunk still lacks its cornerstone film.
Nausicaa is more solar/windpunk than Princess Mononoke, which is more primitivist.
In some sense Waterworld qualifies.
Also Cloud Atlas in some of the settings, though a bit more primitivist
Wasn’t there an Olympics in China not so long ago?

I think my instance kbin.run may have it blocked from the all feed by default.
At least in KBin/Mbin instances there are magazines called “Random” by default that include an non-taghed microblog posts and threads.
“I asked the AI to give me an exact copy of an image I selected and was surprised when it got pretty close” eyeroll without listing the prompts this article is a meaningless hitpiece.
Edit: I missed the prompts on the image itself. I will admit the prompts are pretty simple and output pretty similar to the film itself. That said, still not identical, equivalent to fan drawings of the film in my mind as Stovetop pointed out.
I maintain that this had something to do with a disagreement over which commercial applications are permissible for GPT-4, and that Sam Altman somewhere along the line negotiated a deal that allowed some actor to participate in one of the “forbidden applications” by proxy via a seemingly unrelated agreement. I’m talking Financial Forecasting (High Frequency Trading), Military, and Policing/Surveillance. Now that Sam’s back and unfettered, I’m guessing we are going to see some of those applications come out into the light.
Right on, this is all completely true. That’s why people complaining when YouTube stars slowing down or blocking are in the wrong right? If they are losing the arms race it is their fault and they should be complaining to their adblock developers, rather than complaining about YouTube’s behavior, right?
Actually YouTube’s revenue share model is widely regarded as the most generous of all mass content distribution platforms. YouTube Partners not only control how many ads are served for their videos, but make 55% of ad revenue generated by their videos. Your observation about “notoriously low” ad revenue is actually showing that the total ad revenue for YouTube as a platform is low. This is why more ads are being served now, because the price that advertisers are willing to pay for placement on YouTube (and across display ads generally) has gone down over the past few years. As a result, creators choose to max out the number of ads served on their content. Part of the drop in value of ads is attributable to the relatively high value target audience of sophisticated, tech literate, generally younger viewers who use adblockers removing themselves from the market. YouTube is telling this group “pay up for premium, or opt in to ads” in order to convince advertisers to pay higher per-ad prices.
To @bananatriffleviolin’s point below, this hopefully will drive a shift back towards pay for service models for creator submitted content at large. YouTube Premium subscriber views pay creators way better than ad-revenue from the same video viewed by others for example.
Unpopular opinion: YouTube has run at a loss for years, yet virtually everyone relies on them for content. It is not greedy to attempt to break even by enforcing the exchange of value the platform is built on. Video creators on the platform also rely on a share of ad revenue to make a living. If you don’t like ads, you should pay for premium just like you would for any other video streaming service.
And for the pirates out there, why would you expect YouTube to treat you differently than any other streaming service? If you want to sail the high seas you better download the video and seed torrents, stop vamping off of YouTube’s servers. Self host, ye scallywags, lol.
The whole movie “Smiley Face”
Also the end of The Fly by Cronenburg
Thanks for sharing, this is the kind of useful info I was looking for.
@vanderbilt try out Kbin, it integrates communities and microblogging under one web interface. Makes it easy to access Mastodon posts as well as threads like this one on Lemmy or native to Kbin. I am on Kbin.Run, which is pretty well run but less populated than kbin.social
Ugh, yeah, I fought aurocorrect over it and lost in the end it looks like. Got it fixed up now.
