  • Generally I think this has something to do with average age of model trained vs age of depicted person. Humans have large heads proportional to their bodies in youth and then averages out. On top of this another commenter mentioned art. So many anime/cartoon characters have larger heads to show the expressions and in turn show a youthful nature in these characters.

    Another addition to this is, as another poster stated, the angles of these photos makes a larger head more apparent, probably because we associate larger heads with intelligence, and so poses have just developed to make that appearance.

    Similar to “the average number of arms is less than 2 because there’s greater chances there will be people with zero or one arm, rather than an extra”. Your model will draw on its wealth of samples where the head is disproportionately larger, instead of proportionate - because it was probably fed more photos of hat age range and doesn’t know any different. You asking for AI to give you a person like Trump (78) will show that disparity in head size more than if you ask for Greta Thunberg (21)


  • I like nearly every song on American Idiot. I recognize they had a body of work before, but this was my first CD, so it was something I listened to over and over. It seems so unusual to me buying other CDs through the years (in general) and finding out only 1 or 2 songs of the 13+ was ever famous. Contrasted to American Idiot with at least 4 major songs on it. (American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake me up when September Ends), it made me feel like the disk was even more special for that.

    It is the only CD I have replaced multiple times due to scratching from age - I’m on my fourth CD. I take better care of them than I used to, so it will be one I will always have, even as physical media fades.

    I liked Wake Me Up When September Ends for the sound way back when, but now I like it for how it speaks to loss and how we heal over time, but never forget.


















  • I’m assuming there is no clear indication of intent. Part of crime prevention is that if you don’t know a variable, you must account for the worst possible outcome, and then work all your solutions down from there. At worst you have solution A. Next best is solution B and so on. The immediate response of police is based on those factors, in this case they don’t know why the car was stolen, and the likelihood of the person getting away used to be really high because we didn’t live in a surveillance state, so chasing a perpetrator was just what you did.

    My closing paragraph was about the worst possible outcome. What if the absolute worst happen, would there be outrage at police because they didn’t pursue earlier? Does it put police in a catch 22? If that part isn’t figured out, then it will die in committee because no legislative body will (generally) allow their executive arm to be liable on both sides of their actions.
