Can confirm as a musician this is a very natural progression. Amazing what people out there can do when they are willing to bend some of the rules though. ;)

It does seem like the model picked up examples of pronunciations about which people are admonished, and presented them as tips of what to do rather than what not to do. This basic issue with negation also pops up a lot IME with Google&#x2

As long as the fortune is vague enough to apply to more than 40-50 people, then the chance of a fabricated fortune-telling for you coming true simply by pure random coincidence seems to be greater than the chance of winning the lottery.

Thanks for this comment, I hadn't thought to try and sabotage my trajectory prior to engaging autopilot. I thought for sure it was gonna fail, but it managed to set me down gently right at the last moment quite brilliantly.

You can get heightmaps from NASA's SRTM data without any licensing concerns at all, and they can be used in Cities Skylines (without mods) without any problem (provided you put the heightmap into the right file format). This was pretty

I've played with Cities: Skylines off and on many times over the years and often do give up in frustration with endless traffic problems, but I think it's down to two main things: one, traffic management is very much "endgame

I guess people might argue this all day but I think Cities: Skylines is mostly that, with the rather large caveat that you can't start separate games on the same large map at the same time. You can still get mods (easily, from the stea

Huh, this seems to be the same linguistic phenomenon observed in British English with the word "lieutenant" but perhaps independently evolved.

These things are advancing way faster than they're being taken advantage of fully. Even SD 1.4 with months-old technology can produce far higher quality images than most of what's seen from midjourney or the latest tools. Things l

This seems like the primary explanation IMHO. I have never played the games but I'm really enjoying the show. And regardless of the nature of the discourse surrounding TLoU, I would say Reddit strongly tends to come down hard on negati

If you expanded the prompt to describe the squirrel in redundantly verbose detail it would probably pick it up just fine. The more synonymous descriptors you can work in, and the more naturally you can phrase it, the better it will work. Bu

Maybe they could get Gordon Ramsay to let them model his voice for it. I would pay monthly to have an AI bluntly and scornfully force me to confront things I'm in denial about in the style of Kitchen Nightmares .

Unfortunately that song is in 9/8 and this drum computer appears to be fixed only in 4/4, you'd need an extra two steps to properly do it in this format really. Or at the very least a way to limit the steps to nine.

I have to wonder though - modular synths were always so niche and expensive, they've never been more affordable or available than they are today. In fact they're a small fraction of what systems would cost in any previous decade,

You're of course correct, but perhaps I should have focused more on the concept of skipping words when reading, misremembering, and "reading what you want to read" - those traits are extremely common if not universal at some

img2img creations are probably confusing it because they are totally rearranging how the prompt emerges from what's in the latent space with respect to a new image. So if you make an image of <subject> by passing in an image of &

As the poster commented, it was a typo in this case and should have been "a". But, in general, we would use "an" preceding an acronym whenever the pronunciation of the acronym begins with a vowel sound. To use some broad

I have used a program called Pixel Fixer which can learn a profile of each of your cameras and directly process out the dead pixels in the RAW files in a batch operation. It hasn't been updated in about 8 years so it doesn't neces
