Werner would be proud.


It's a nice image, but I find it's easy to spot IA generated images when trying to make images of very specific existing hardware. Here you can see all the cars are generic with 50's design look, none are models that existed. Try to ask an IA to draw you a Boeing 747-400 for example, see what I mean. Btw, Have you noticed all the Youtube vids thumbnails made by IA now ? Easy to spot.


Dunno if true, but resonance frequency is the reason German military always avoided making goose step military marches across bridges. I suppose it would depends on the bridge anyway... But would have been fun to watch.


Breaking stride on bridges has been known to (some) militaries since the Roman times iirc.


Mythbusters did an episode on this! I totally cannot remember what they concluded


They did and if I remember correctly they concluded it was busted. I remember this episode in particular because I didn’t feel like their tests were completely sound and didn’t accurately model a civil engineered life-size bridge so at best the result should have been inconclusive.


It was later re-tested and re-classified as plausible (for some reasons the particualr episode was aired in EU but not in the US):

The machines they built to simulate the marching was entirely inadequate. A much better way to test it would've been a weight on a voice coil, and a contact microphone to monitor echoes. They'd still probably be unable to tear down the bridge model they built, as that thing seemed to be way overbuilt.


Ahhh Bernard... He once tried to became a Belgian subject to pay less taxes. And now that he is the richest in the world mainly due to Elon goofing (the guy selling self-parking rockets services), he gives advises... but do "no marketing". Vanitas vanitatum Omnia vanitas... Want good laughs ? Watch this film : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V03eMAjQgA


At least no one p.. on your rug.


Beautiful... Would fit well as a part of "Night on Earth".


Ever wrote a text, drew or filmed something or took a picture, to find that someone else used it without your consent to make money ?


You used 22 unique words and 25 unique characters in that comment. None of them are original. Did you have the consent and pay the creators (or their ancestors) of all of those creations before posting this?


Completely irrelevant . Words and alphabet are common heritage of mankind, like language. They are one way humans communicate, it can’t be « owned ». Your question is like asking « do you have permission for the air you breathe ? », but doesn’t answer mine. Did you ever created something, a creation of your own coming of your own mind, only to find someone used it without your consent ?


> Words and alphabet are common heritage of mankind, like language

Ah yes, they appeared out of thin air and no one had to create them or fight to keep them (Haben Sie bemerkt, dass wir Englisch und nicht Deutsch sprechen?).

> only to find someone used it without your consent

My consent? What are you talking about? Do you think I own slaves? No, I do not. I think slavery is abhorrent. I guess you support slavery though, and like to control other people even when they are in their own homes. So we will disagree. You support slavery. I do not.

"Ah yes, they appeared out of thin air and no one had to create them or fight to keep them (Haben Sie bemerkt, dass wir Englisch und nicht Deutsch sprechen?)."

Hu ?! I think you have a misconception of what creating something is :D Words and letters are human common heritage, it’s so old that no one knows who to credit for their creation :D There is a reason why copyright for original creation last 70 years, then fall into public domain : https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-duration.html Although details changes countries to countries… Making an original creation is putting the letters and words together, in original and unique form, like for example poets or writers do... see ? Say for example you're a rockstar, and a orange haired politician uses your best songs for his meetings without asking kindly, would you like it ?... (Et oui, je sais que l’on écrit en anglais, et ça n'a aucun rapport…)

What ? WTF slaves and slavery as to do with creation and having a say on your original creation ?! Anyway yes… I support slavery, matter of fact I got 20 slaves very cheap at the market yesterday, have to train them to post on HN. You obviously have no idea what copyright is. Too bad, your posts are very creative and original. You own them (true), you should use more of that talent to write longer funny things… Cheers.


I starred at the tittle for 20sec, with my foggy mind trying to understand why translate CSS in Polish... must sleep.


It's not about France or Argentina. It's about the PSG, a club owned by Qatar (buye... ahem... host of the world cup), where both Messi and Mbappé plays.


A haïku to leave before seppuku. No more coffee is indeed catastrophic.


Reminds me of the out of coffee scene from Airplane 2.
