But all of the tissue libraries that exist today are, to no one's surprise, here on Earth.” [// ExtremeTech »]( [/digital] [Adobe - Your audience can tell if you’re using a garbage graphic design platform | [Partner]](1011lAmJz/pubref:FUT-AGENCY-EML-080624/destination:) [Your audience can tell if you’re using a garbage graphic design platform](1011lAmJz/pubref:FUT-AGENCY-EML-080624/destination:) Still using free websites to craft logos, edit photos, and build graphics?

They’re learning that pollution may have a surprising diversity of effects, from changing the scents that draw insects to flowers to warping the creatures’ ability to smell, learn, and remember.” [// Knowable Magazine »]( [/curious] [What color is night? | Atlas Obscura]( [What color is night?]( “Ask any preschooler to color the sky, and they will probably reach for a blue crayon. … The sky looks blue to our light-limited eyes because, during the day, sunlight scatters through Earth’s watery atmosphere. Pure sunlight is pure white light, a combination of every color, but viewed from Earth, the sun’s green, yellow, indigo, and other colors are largely absorbed. The light that scatters the most and which dominates our vision is blue. … But what color is the sky at night? It’s tempting to say black or grayish black or some variation of a color that really just conveys the feeling of darkness. But the truth is more complicated, and it depends on what time you’re asking, where you’re sitting, and whether the Moon is out.” [// Atlas Obscura »]( [/hustle] [StackSocial - You can now do it all (with AI, of course) | [Partner] ]( [You can now do it all (with AI, of course)]( The question is no longer about what AI can do; it’s what it can’t do. And when it comes to one as comprehensive as 1minAI, we’re pretty stuck trying to answer that. Because, really, it kinda does everything. While it can do the simple stuff you’d expect from an AI — like content and image creation — it also generates text-to-speech, summarizes PDFs, translates documents, and even helps edit videos. And it’s powered by some of the best AI models out there, like OpenAI, Midjourney, and Meta. So go ahead and waste your money using 10 different AI subscriptions… ooor… just pay $40 once and keep this all-in-one tool for life.

Known as Jet Rocket, the electromechanical marvel boasted several world-firsts — even though most people today don't know it ever existed. Jet Rocket’s premise was a simple one. … [It was played] without a computer or even a video screen. Nonetheless, Jet Rocket was the world's first flight simulator game, the first first-person shooter game, and the first game in which the player made their way through a virtual world (known as an ‘open world’ game).” [// New Atlas »]( [/bites] [// Ever tried editing a PDF on your phone?
