It's also for a reason that is both funny and cool, it was built so that a huge range of people of different heights can both stand up fully in the cab and see over the hood when seated

Not giving you my email address to read your articles. No, not a paywall, it's somehow more insulting than that. I don't need more mailing lists, especially when I haven't read it and don't know what your work is like. C'mon.

Same, I just hate all subscriptions with a passion and don't like not owning things. I use Bandcamp, and if the band only does streaming services I buy a used CD if they're old enough for that, shameless pirate if not.

Yeah, I recently moved from aps-c to full frame and while I am loving the overall image quality and low light performance, I do miss basically getting a boost. My 300 was enough for birds, but not anymore, so I've been looking at ~600mm stuff, not in the budget right now though.

Oh I didn't know that was something you could fix, that's cool. Might have to look into how hard that would be to do with some of my PVMs.

Cool stuff, have to respect being able to work on a CRT, the EEEEEEEE would drive me insane in a matter of hours

Amazing photo, I never run into a heron when I've got my long lens on me, always either the 24-70 or just my phone

It's worth noting somewhere out in the northwest a man was acquitted for shooting at cops that he had no reasonable means to identify (they were driving around shooting out the side door of an unmarked minivan). They still sent the guy to the hospital though, even if he won his case.

Suggesting there's a class of people who fundamentally can't be child molesters might not actually be a great idea tbh

Caveats: I have never tried to make a VN, and I have never released anything other than a soundboard program I shared with friends

Hate to be an evangelist but I've been using godot for quite some time and I think it strikes a really good balance between power and usability, but it is more technical than "no code" engines (but less than ue or unity) Worth noting you can animate *anything* with the animationplayer node.

I don't go that far back, but the fact is most people use computers to browse the web, which you could do with a laptop from 2007 if we weren't in interpreter/vm JS framework ad metrics hell.

Dark City excellent choice, I need to watch that again. It's like an Ed Hopper painting.

Very few non-technical people (and even a lot of technical people) don't believe me when I say computers have not meaningfully changed in the last 15+ years, and have even gotten worse in some ways. I feel like a cowboy lamenting the end of the open range.

Well yeah, my question is why the AI went there. Maybe fantasy art is overrepresented in the training data because of art station?

The only way this ever stops is if people refuse to buy this stuff, and that's one of the only ways to do it.

Really winning hearts and minds m8. You may have more fun on The Other Site, it was made for this sort of thing.

They set up this character to be the stern military father and then at every turn play him so differently than you expect. Love the line at the end of the show about his greatest fear.

To be honest I was a little confused as to why it got a remake, the art direction is so on point it hardly needs one. I have basically zero complaints about that game.

I rarely use viewfinders, but mostly because I'm almost always working low to the ground where they're useless, but being able to angle it up makes them usable. Flippy screen is good enough for my money though.

This post made me think of eh cumpari. One time at work we played this on a loop.

I basically can't upload anything anywhere and be reasonably sure it isn't training data, not even here, yet here I am. But yes, Instagram is the most normal one.

I think the biggest problem I have noticed is very "sided" people refusing to entertain an argument because it sounds too much like "the enemy". If they support it we must hate it, if they say it's real we say it's fake, and if you say otherwise, you're as bad as them.

For most people it's not worth it yet, is the short answer. When it is, I want them to have options. Historically there's been plenty of times individual gun ownership has been a positive force.

Many people in silicon valley can't distinguish between having an idea and actually bringing it into reality. They have the idea and then pat themselves on the back like it's already done. A whole world of "ideas guys".

Many democrats are finally realizing in practical terms how ensuring that only the police and military are armed *might* be a bad idea. When Dems do back gun control they back the mostly deeply stupid versions of it like MD's "evil features" law or the AWB.

I was going to say, reminds me of when they found that prehistoric man in England and it turned out one of his living descendants was a history professor who lived a few km away.

I can't think of any movement that succeeded only on protest, not without any other bargaining chips, the threat of violence and disorder being a major one. Sometimes you can use economic forces, like the bus boycott. Protest by itself does almost nothing unless it's *huge*.
comment in response to
post
I do think a lot of people misunderstand protest, and unfortunately it's only kind of activism many think of. Our school system teaches a version of the civil rights movement that is like "people protested, and then the people in power felt really bad and stopped".

It isn't cheap, they're operating at a loss in the desperate hope of selling this shit to as many people as they need to to make it profitable. No AI project has turned a profit. Ever.

Did they do it in c41 or some other wrong chemistry or just accidentally push it a ton?

I don't sell anything (yet) or even have much uploaded over here (yet), but all my photos are of real things as they appear in the world. Sometimes I see stuff tagged as "AI photography" and I never understand exactly what that's supposed to mean.

Right, for elections involving a lot of seats, like Congress or the school board, that's ideal. For single seat positions like a comptroller or a president, isn't it exactly the same as first pass the post? Just the bar for the "post" will be even lower due to dilution.

First time hearing about that one, but it makes sense. I'm not sure the actual outcome would be any different though. You also risk essentially re-creating the first past the post scenario in some cases.
comment in response to

It's been due for decades, long before all this, but first past the post guarantees it, and no one will ever vote to remove their own power. It would have to start small, at a state or even county level, a party that exists only to implement ranked choice and then dissolves itself.

My boss at one of my day jobs, who is a classic fox news Republican, actually said the words "I didn't know it would happen to anybody I knew" about government cuts. I don't have the time or energy to argue with the guy, but that was unreal.

I wonder how long it's been since Tim had to do any of the grunt work involved because he seems to think it's going to be easy to staple together 6 different AI generated parts into a game that doesn't blow.
