I am an amateur calligrapher (specifically, I spent ~15 years practicing Japanese brush calligraphy). Since April 2024 I have started setting up body calligraphy sessions (i.e. I hire a model to write on her naked body - NSFW examples here

They seem to put most of the focus on analysis of logs and bug tickets. Surely valuable but not what I am looking for. It is still mostly a gedankexperiment at the moment but ... you can nowadays ask an AI to draw you something "in t

Not sure I agree. "A bit of linear algebra, calculus and probability/stats" would make you better equipped at leveraging LLM? Or do you mean that having "a bit" of those you would be able to implement/train you

Thanks, I have looked into this but it seems to be more like a way to address support tickets, i.e. "an expert system to support you in resolving tickets". What I am aiming for is more like "an expert system to support you in

In my home country (Italy) the "usefulness" of teaching Latin in non-technical schools (i.e. High School, basically) has been debated for at least one century now. I do not regret having studied it, especially because I had good g

Disclaimer: I am European AND Old, so I studied Latin for 8 years (Middle School + High School). I am not sure I really understand your comment here. If you are studying an ancient language you acquire zero fluency in it. At best you can re

My main problems with fineliners is not their "autonomy" but their durability. I work on small scale drawings most of the time (A5) and I use small size tips. I surely throw away more pens due a damaged tip than due to ink. I am a

I mostly use fineliners too. Even when I draw models posing "live" (actually on Zoom, most of the time) I do the preliminary sketches with thin, light gray pens, and then when I have the proportions mostly right (or at right as I
