@QiaochuYuan Indeed! "For the birds" by Pixar! Even the clouds are similar.

@lozareeno @AugustineFacts Libra party. Mine was on the 20th.

Happy birthday to both of you too.

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

I'm sorry but ofcourse the red is correct.

We need the EU to standardise quotation marks right now

@lifeext Even without knowing how a house is oriented I always feel like the bed is either oriented "properly" or not. And it always turns out that "properly" for me is head facing north.

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@azomji @yoltartar Lol, fair :D

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

In computer graphics one of the most used system for facial deformation is FACS (facial action coding system). It is based on the research by the author believing that feelings and emotions are somehow universally "coded" into the facial features, which numerous research after that shows is not true at all. That doesn't make the system bad for decoding movements and muscle group triggers, it's actually pretty good for that. But it's funny that it started from a wrong belief.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

fun fact, the 'right answers' aren't based on what the models said they were feeling.
Researchers made the test by pulling photos out of magazines. A small group of them voted on what they thought the model was feeling, and if they agreed enough then they just used that.

Embrace your normality.

[0:-) @silverarm0r]

@marinwaves we all have the capacity for normal and I think I can tap into it quite well and frequently

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@silverarm0r I am pretty sure you are the type of person that doesn't want to be clasified as normal person. A normie. Otherwise you are normal yes. We are all normal.

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@silverarm0r Lol

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@azomji @yoltartar Even in the same cultural circles there is no universality. There was this lady last week which smiled at me and scolded me. I guess she was irritated.

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

Yeah haven't dug into it for a few years now, but most of the research seem to be that feelings and emotions are not universally expressed on faces. Yeah there are predominant expressions associated with particular feeling, but there are many edge cases.. Basically there is no universal "sadness" face etc.

[Lukas Rosenstock @LukasRosenstock]

There's the idea that we may move from a "dopamine economy" (= instant hits of gratification but unsustainable) to an "oxytocin economy" (= building real and lasting connections between people) and I hope it's true.

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@nosilverv Lol come to Bulgaria 😂

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@regenavocado Looks like what in Greece and Bulgaria we call "tsipoura"

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@innerpathing @yoltartar Haha super nice

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@frideswyth Wait...I have been dreaming much much more and more intensely the last couple of days, is that related?

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@m_ashcroft And it would have been better to just be "CUT". "what's your cut time?"

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

It's kinda funny that ISO stands for "International Organization for Standardization", but they abbreviate themselves as ISO, not IOS.

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@m_ashcroft Omg just Googled it 😱

[Marin Petrov @marinwaves]

@Shpigford Thank you 🙏
