Saturnalia remains as previously scheduled



quote:

During Saturnalia, work and business came to a halt. Schools and courts of law closed, and the normal social patterns were suspended.

People decorated their homes with wreaths and other greenery, and shed their traditional togas in favor of colorful clothes known as synthesis. Even enslaved people did not have to work during Saturnalia, but were allowed to participate in the festivities; in some cases, they sat at the head of the table while their masters served them.

Instead of working, Romans spent Saturnalia gambling, singing, playing music, feasting, socializing and giving each other gifts. Wax taper candles called cerei were common gifts during Saturnalia, to signify light returning after the solstice.

On the last day of Saturnalia celebrations, known as the Sigillaria, many Romans gave their friends and loved ones small terracotta figurines known as signillaria, which may have referred back to older celebrations involving human sacrifice.

Saturnalia was by far the jolliest Roman holiday; the Roman poet Catullus famously described it as “the best of times.” So riotous were the festivities that the Roman author Pliny reportedly built a soundproof room so that he could work during the raucous celebrations.

Also the horse thing was more a cruel joke because he hated the senate.

So Samsung was marketing a "space zoom" feature for their phone, which allegedly allows people to take highly detailed pictures of the moon. It turns out it was just upscaling the image using an AI trained on images of the moon. https://wccftech.com/space-space-zoom-moon-shots-are-fake/amp/

Reach for the moon!
From this page on their website:

quote:

"The moon recognition engine was created by learning various moon shapes from full moon to crescent moon based on images that people actually see with their eyes on Earth.

It uses an AI deep learning model to show the presence and absence of the moon in the image and the area as a result. AI models that have been trained can detect lunar areas even if other lunar images that have not been used for training are inserted."

:wtc: The goal is to replicate what you see when you are taking the picture, not what the camera itself physically is capable of capturing (the example is you see the moon, camera sees a white dot). So uhhhh DON'T TRY THAT SAMSUNG?

edit: To take the process of making highly detailed satellite images of planets and planetoids and reduce it to some actually fake thing your phone can kinda sorta replicate badly is so irresponsible and will give people such a bad impression of how it's is really done

My favorite thing about this saying is when I learned that "The moon is made from green cheese" is that green doesn't refer to the color, but the fact that it's fresh, new cheese, which makes much more sense.

When I was a kid I thought it was "cream cheese" because my mom would spread cream cheese on rice cakes for me and call them "moon cakes" which at the time I thought was about the moon being cheese but now obviously I realize it's just a white circle, like the moon

Little Caesar's is so far up its own rear end thinking that its memes are clever that they're just living in their own reality.

e: I guess they've had some success making people give a poo poo about their pizzas in recent years, but they're more meme now than man, twisted and evil.

Looking into it, apparently this is a "joke/meme" lead-up to them bringing the pretzel crust back? :psyduck: And also isn't an actual menu item you can order, so I don't loving know.

Yeah but ghee is made from butter. LC “butter” is just oil with garlic and butter flavor. It also doesn’t spoil for ages. Source: Sauce cups next to the coffee machine from our last pizza day at work…last year.
