  • 19th century painter Frits Thaulow — the artist who mastered water and reflection!

  • The water in the top picture has an uncanny resemblance to what one would see in a high resolution photo. Yet it still retains a painterly quality. Mesmerizing.

  • Gustav Klimt's birch wood paintings, 1903. Feel like a surreal version of some childhood picture book to me

    Jump

  • Despite being rather flat the textures (esp the tree bases) come off as very real. It's a bit unsettling really. Well done Gustav.

  • Ha, everyone knows armor is only for fashion anyways. ¿So why not look stylish in full plate while cleaning house?

  • I can hear a stiff accent simply by looking at ink. Amazing! 👏

  • 2024 vs 2025

    Jump

  • Yeah, the illusion looks quite good from afar (eg the thumbnail for the post) but full screen I noticed that many of the strokes emulating leaves at the contours of the tree end with straight edges perpendicular to the branch rather than being more rounded or have some noise that breaks up the straight lines.

    I mark up what I mean here:

  • Really like your stroke work except for the foliage of the tree. ¿Looks like you used some scatter spray tool? It looks a bit out of place to me (to harsh) and also the ends touching the horizon leave the square stroke visible when imo a rounded cap would look more natural.

    New image also greatly benefits from the wider framing to show us the surroundings with a more colorful palette 🎨 as a contrast to the house (foreground).

    FBI reveals there's video to prove Jeffrey Epstein killed himself

    Jump

  • Imo the header is misleading a bit. "reveals" implies they actually showed the video but they only claim that there exists such video.

  • European Credit Card and digital euro is coming, end 2025

    Jump

  • The European Central Bank has been working on this for many years. The current crisis is not the cause but may significantly speed up resources dedicated and raise urgency of the process.

    It's been some time since I read thru the proposals of the European Central Bank. But a digital euro isn't just a replacement for a credit card system. It's a difference system altogether where transactions are directly cleared with the central bank (or a certified agent) online.

  • Salut, j'ai fait un site avec l'histoirique de tous mes memes / comics / arroganteries

    Jump

  • Merci beaucoup. J'aime bien lire tes memes pour apprendre en peu de français. Et c'est les "vrais" français comme il est parlais pour les gens vivant, pas l'éstile trops formale trouvé dans les libres de la école. 🤗

  • Why Germans put up with snail-speed internet

    Jump

  • Ultimately it's because of corruption. When chancellor Kohl was incumbent it was clear that fibre optics is the future. He instead pushed for the technically inferior alternative of cable internet to satisfy his business buddies.

    That being said, Germany's not only lagging behind in connectivity but in digital infrastructure in general. Many businesses and especially the administration are still stuck in the previous century. Plus there's a considerable lack of IT knowhow (and herhaps interest) in the general populace. Travellers from countries like Estonia or Finland must feel like having traveled back into the past 20 years.

    I'm still using a fax machine to send messages to the local government cause they can't properly handle email yet, lol. Called the hospital the other day due to some info missing on their website. Had a very confusing convo with their staff cause the lady genuinely didn't understand the difference between a website, a browser, Google and a search bar widget and kept confounding them. That's where we are at 🤷🏽.

  • Safe professions

    Jump

  • Sure, a skilled human is still better at the job. But you don't always need to capture every nuance. And AI does it at the fraction of the cost.

    I see this with lots of German product descriptions on big store fronts like Amazon. They often seem entirely machine translated. It's not great, but "good enough" and serviceable.

    Machine translation also increasingly shifts the process from the sender of the message to the recipient. It used to be that the web page of a Vietnamese company was inaccessible if you didn't speak Vietnamese or they specifically had an English version. Nowadays a visitor can choose to get the entire site translated automatically (by the browser, for instance). Is it as good as the translation by an expert? Of course not. But it costs the company nothing at all and the visitor a negligible amount. And it works for a plethora of languages.

    That's another (invisible) way that the world needs less and less translators. I wrote this post in English but for all I know someone could be reading it in French or Bengali. No further input required from my side.

    TIL the black scales of gaboon vipers are super hydrophobic. Water running off washes away any dirt on them too. Dirt will thus only stick to light scales leaving their camouflage pattern intact.
