Is that the episode with Cesar Milan? I’m not saying his techniques won’t work for children, but…

I wonder if the video added anything to the text or if Tiktok is just twitter with mandatory face reveals.

6 years is post-cave diver. He bought it after Elon went crazy.

This uses Catblock with a custom image set, but Catblock hasn’t been updated in 6 years, so I don’t know how well it still works. Anyway, if Catblock won’t work, we have to find a blocker that allows for some customization and then fit those “They Live” images in.

(I’m trying to get Catblock to work, but somehow I can’t find any pages that even load ads? I think the pihole is blocking the scripts that would load the ads.)

They added an OS check to a website? What’s next, checking if your desk is sturdy enough to carry the weight of their javascript?

I think this is completely missing the point when it’s talking about “the minutiae of art”. It’s making two claims at the same time: art is better when you suffer for it and the art is good whether or not you suffered. But none of that is relevant.

When Wyeth made Christina’s World, I don’t know if he suffered or not when painting that grass. What I do know is that he was a human with limited time and the fact that he spent so much of his time detailing every blade of grass means that he’s saying something. That The Oatmeal doesn’t draw backgrounds might be because he’s lazy, but he also doesn’t need them. These are choices we make to put effort in one part and ignore some other part.

AI doesn’t make choices. It doesn’t need to. A detailed background is exactly the same amount of work as a plain one. And so a generated picture has this evenly distributed level of detail, no focus at all. You don’t really know where to look, what’s important, what the picture is trying to say. Because it’s not saying anything. It isn’t a rat with a big butt, it’s just a cloud of noise that happens to resemble a rat with a big butt.

It has existed for decades (though it had a reboot), but it’s spiked in popularity in the past few years.

Soulseek is the most popular now. It’s peer-to-peer on a different level than torrents, you download from a single other user, which is a little more finicky than connecting to a swarm. But there’s a lot of music available there.

Most of these tiktoks don’t even add anything beyond the text or music, but the format makes it very easy (almost mandatory) for people to add their own head in there. I reaaaally don’t get the appeal, but I didn’t grow up in an era of the internet where putting your face everywhere was normalized.

No one has ever seen a prolific memer and thought they would be fun to hang out with. Unless you like it when someone constantly shoves their phone in your face to show you a meme.

Worse, it was when Twitter banned Trump. This is just like when the Savage John asked to be exiled from the World State but the Controller forces him to engage in society to torture him.

I also have to laugh when someone takes a very rough estimate (around a hundred miles) and converts it to metric with 4 significant figures (160.9 km). Even 160 is too precise when talking about a distance of 80-120 miles. If the original number has 1 sigfig, the conversion should too, even if that feels way off.

It won’t be as simple as that and the engineers who work on these systems can only think in terms of LLM and text classification, so they’d run your message through a classifier and end the conversation if it returns a “goodbye or thanks” score above 0.8, saving exactly 0 compute power.

The hard part is getting the 10 IQ points to follow the specs properly when designing the components.

Isn’t that Bugs’ sister from Albania?

If you liked every one of those shows, I can guarantee you that you’ll like the rest of B99. Early seasons focus a lot on Jake, Holt and Amy, but later seasons get more variety in leads and storylines. There’s a bunch of very good recurring concepts too, comparable to the Community paintball episodes. The series only gets stronger as it progresses imo.

A society where no one has capital and the only way to get ahead is to provide more labour? And you call them steamed hams despite the fact they’re obviously grilled?

Why do you keep Gemini installed? Does it even work offline?

It also looks like that 1973 picture of Nixon’s bedroom is newer than the website design, so I’m not surprised it isn’t using https.

Wow, you’d think it wouldn’t be this hard. There’s White House archives online, but they all seem to be text only. Articles about the rose garden, but never any pictures. And when it’s an article with pictures from 2000-2016, it’s only historical pictures, as if showing a contemporary picture would be the most redundant thing to do in an article about a rose garden.

Is tysto someone’s personal archive of whitehousemuseum.org? I don’t get the domain name, the home page mentions the other domain (which is for sale). Wikipedia lists whitehousemuseum.org under “External links” for a collection of photos.
