Looks like using machine learning they’ve been able to decipher the first letters from carbonized scrolls buried at Herculaneum during the eruption of Vesuvius.
There’s a grand prize of $700,000 for the first team to read four complete passages of text off of one of these scrolls, without regard to the technique used. Frankly it’s insane that we have the technology to do this, and it may well result in the recovery of ancient texts that are totally unknown to us.
#looks like this breakthrough might have been possible without ML#if I understand correctly#but ML vastly sped up the process

Other than causing suicide by M.A.D., how exactly do you think Alternates themselves kill their victims? Like, my main headcanon is that they cause cardiac arrest due to stress/fear, eventually bleeding from every orifice in body or both, but what else could they do?
#straight up smack you?#or go FNAF style and just scream at you?#even FNAF isn't consistent enough#cause this can vary from suddenly screaming few seconds and biting off your frontal lobe#like#M.A.D was discovered relatively recently (assuming that it happened same year as video presenting it)#if I understand correctly#That means they had to kill before in some other way#Or at least cause enough harm to be noticable#warning for vol.4 spoilers#and then there's this whole kidnapping kids thing#if they end up same as Adam then what happens with them?#assuming that he IS an Alternate#the mandela catalogue#tmc#tmc alternate#m.a.d.#tmc questions#tmc headcanon#i guess???

we’ve all talked about how andrew minyard being the goalkeeper is symbolic of his position as the protector of his foxes, but can we also talk about aaron and nicky being backliners whose job is to stop the ball before it can reach the goal at all and therefore protect andrew specifically
#i think?? if i understand the positions correctly#(there’s also the fact that they can’t usually stop the threat because they aren’t very good at it. but they try)#(the only reason they’re here in the first place)#genuinely have no idea if this makes any sense at all#andrew minyard#aaron minyard#nicky hemmick#aftg#all for the game#tfc#the foxhole court#my posts

I laughed too hard. Their bickering is gold.

Third to last episode of Freshman Year: it’s all coming together. The enemy is revealed, but so much time has been lost that chances of victory are slim. The heroes must rush to save their families, terrified they may arrive too late, and regroup with little rest to face their final battle.
Third to last episode of Sophomore Year: Kristen is dead (again). The party must split up and face their worst fears in shockingly emotional scenes, eventually to reunite with each other and prepare for the fatal fight ahead, searching for any way to save their fallen friend.
Third to last episode of Junior Year: “blimey.” *explodes*
#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#ally beardsley#kristen applebees#how do you tag K2???#k2#british kristen#d20 spoilers#fhjy spoilers#junior year spoilers#fantasy high junior year spoilers#i fell behind back in like february and am not caught up i hope i’m understanding this correctly from reading posts#family in flames and fearful symmetry my beloveds#(i am screaming into the void i’ve barely posted about d20 before)

iwtv is insanity inducing bc every time you google some reference in it you find out theyre doing some 4d chess with the symbolism… like okay playing roosevelt's speech about the us joining ww2 in the background as claudia tells louis shes gonna kill lestat is pretty straightforward, and of course the chess game theyre playing foreshadows how she beats him in the next episode but doesn't "finish the game" ie burn him. and bc claudia later compares lestat to the nazis/hitler, that obviously makes lestat germany and thus claudia is poland and louis is the us/roosevelt in the speech we hear: "I had hoped against hope that some miracle would prevent a devastating war in Europe and bring to an end the invasion of Poland by Germany" etc. BUT THEN you get nerdy and google some of the chess terms lestat uses like the dutch defense and stonewalling which is pretty interesting and then you vaguely remember one of the writers said the scene was based on some famous chess game, and you realize it must be glücksberg vs miguel najdorf which turns out to be literally called the POLISH IMMORTAL. najdorf was polish and glücksberg is some unknown but based on the name likely german. this was najdorf's first famous game, at the beginning of his career when he was only like 19 or something although we dont know the exact details of the game (and ofc you watch a few videos on the polish immortal and they all heavily criticize glücksberg's moves which makes lestat's arrogance even funnier) and ALSO, in 1939 (literally at the same time as the chess scene takes place) najdorf was participating in a chess tournament in buenos aires and since he was not only polish but also jewish, he stayed there rather than return home. his whole family was killed in the holocaust but he lived a long life in argentina. why is this relevant? because BUENOS AIRES which btw lestat also calls "la reina del plata" so you google that and find the 1930 song by carlos gardel and the lyrics are literally— anyway so buenos aires is where lestat planned for them to move to in ep7. perhaps if they had indeed gone to argentina instead of europe… well… perhaps… perhaps…
#spark in the dark#iwtv#interview with the vampire#i wonder if there will be more najdorf parallels in s2... theres a shot in the trailer where claudia is blindfolded#and najdorf set the world record for simultaneous blindfold chess in 1947 (!!!) which stood until 2011#although simultaneous blindfold chess also does kinda sound like what claudia was doing in ep7 already#theres also the najdorf variation of the sicilian defense which was named after him but he stopped using it bc#(if i understand correctly) some amateur who simply memorized the moves from chess theory books managed to beat him at it. HMM#to be clear i know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about chess im simply reading this shit off wikipedia and chess.com and some youtube videos#i could absolutely be getting this all wrong i have no idea what any of this shit actually means#s#claudia#vampterview#vampyyrit

xie lian texts like a grandpa … i imagine pre confession their texts would be a graveyard of hua cheng’s failed attempts at flirting
xie lian's profile picture is from the manhua by starember / follow for more of hua cheng Ls
#xie lian: the water master died 💀 (used skull emoji to indicate death)#hua cheng: the water master died 💀 (lol)#xie lian uses the 😏 emoji on him one time and he has to stand up from his phone for a minute#cue the ‘no no you used the emoji correctly just dont uh. send it to anybody but me.’ from the cpr scene#i think xie lian would LOVE advice animals memes#he told me himself. btw. and he finds them in google images and his local facebook group#hua cheng would not normally use 😂 but he does so xie lian can understand him :)#they are so sillay#truthfully i think hua cheng would find current internet humor annoying but hes doing his best o7#tgcf#hualian#tgcf spoilers#tian guan ci fu#xie lian#hua cheng#heaven official's blessing#hob#art#my art#doodle#mxtx
