  • I don't know which thread this witchcraft should be in, but a company called My Heritage has a photo app where it maps people's faces from photos you submit onto a model that moves around and blinks.

    And it's amazing and creepy as fu** at the same time.

    Keith Olbermann posted this Twitter thread of it used on old hockey players.

We are pretty darn good at finding patterns in things and breaking codes that had held for dozens or hundreds of years.
      Thanks. That is exactly what I was getting at in my layman's way.

      Although I suspect if we detected a repeatable pattern in quantum events that would be a significant discovery for everything else we know. It might even square the circle of God's dice playing that put the wind up Albert.

        Yeah, Heisenberg would probably be a little peeved if we started to say we had perfect information about what was going on at a quantum level....
        If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

          But still only within a larger frame, because you could never know where you were in the sequence.

            • So since the 8.1 earlier today (8? hours ago), they've had 35 5.0+ earthquakes.

                  That's interesting.

                  I've never been through an earthquake. So what is it that makes the aftershocks the worst part of the experience?
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                  • From my experience, the initial quake is already over while you're still stunned. The first quake I was in I was standing in front of an enormous glass window and the only way I can describe it is it changed into liquid -- the glass was momentarily water, held in a vertical sheet, and then it solidified again. That gives some idea of the cognitive shock. You have no time to be scared, you're just off kilter. When it stops, then you're scared, but also relieved because it's over.

                    When the aftershocks come you are primed so you are "awake" through it all, and you are terrified while it's happening. Emotionally it is much, much worse.

                    • Pretty much what Kepler said. The initial quake is such a shock your mind barely recognizes it. Any subsequent aftershock you are fully aware of mentally. They wake you up in the night, they dead stop you during the day, it’s mentally exhausting.

                        You get false shocks, too. Your body braces, nothing happens. Like an abused child. It sucks. It's basically a very mild form of PTSD.

                          Yeah, that was the big thing with the quake a few days ago. Just a collective “oh no here we go again...”

                          I just remember sleep being a struggle, especially with my daughter, you’d start to fall asleep, another one would hit and your body goes “never mind let’s stay awake for more hours!”

                          The original quake was scary on some level but I’ve been trained for so long to “duck, cover, hold on” that it was easy. They just forgot the “and then do it again another 30-40 times”.
