From context it was clear to me that they meant the entire income.
Minimum wage in brazil is 280/month. I don't know how much of it would be taken by taxes, but even if it's 0 then ozempic in Brazil still costs almost 70% of that amount each month.
It’s not so straightforward, though. In the U.S., wages are usually discussed in terms of hourly pay or annual salary, whereas in Brazil, they’re typically expressed as monthly earnings.
The caption is what really sells it for me. It is the classical farside experience.
Looks at comic, (shrugs) it's weird but not funny in any way. Reads caption
"Art assignment: Paint a house on a hillside overlooking a bay or valley. Stay loose; play with color. Try to capture a mood. Think of something to add."
Literal spit take and laugh. Yep he still has the touch.
Hmmm - my interpretation is that this is an example of a "prompt" for a generative AI "artist", and the result was something that "craps" over the original intention of the "house on a hillside"... (so, a bit of a commentary on generative art from someone who was professional cartoonist)
I think you are applying the wrong decade(s) of thought.
This is a man who had to clean his pen to use it - it is very likely he is using artists "prompts" to practice his digital art (as he mentions its very new to him), which is something that was normal before the current era.
The caption reads like an AI prompt. The last instruction, "think of something to add" resulted in the AI adding a pterodactyl on the house, dropping bird poop on it. Probably not what the prompter meant, but technically correct.
This exact chain of interactions is what I come to HN for.
When Meat Loaf died, I commented "His name was Robert Paulsen" (you know, because in death membersbof project mayhem do have names, his name was Robert Paulsen". Someone commented something to the effect of no it wasn't, meat loaf wasn't his real name it was Marvin Aday, and then someone else commented to their comment "It's literally a fucking line from the movie".
I dont know why these layers of weirdness delight me so, but they do.
This is sort of the inverse “Don’t say HN is becoming Reddit”
Reddit has been declining for a long time and even more so the way the algorithm works with the Front Page. Politics and activism there is super amplified
Well actually pterosaurs were way different from birds, and don't even count as dinosaurs. Though they had a downy covering similar to feathers. But they're not bird ancestors.
I agree it seems like a better-structured effort than many others. But its shortcomings go beyond a shallow and incomplete foundation in psychology. It also has basic errors in its execution, eg a "Geography" question about centripetal and centrifugal forces. Color me extremely skeptical.
