Um, have you read the prompt? It looking weird is simply the result of "the audience members are cucumbers". The more crazy your prompt is, the worse the results will generally get. On top of that DALL-E2 has generally issues with

I played around with that a bit myself, though mostly 2D tiled side scrollers, but I found it pretty much impossible to create good 8/16bit style graphics with DALL-E2. It can create pixel-art just fine and it can create pixel-art spri

If you really want to, that should be doable, you just have to sync the shutters of the cameras with the screen and switch the virtual scene along with it, much the same way as 3D TV used to work. At least for two cameras, that should work

> I call hooey on that, the real issue is cost. It's actually rarely about cost itself, just look at modern movie budget, they didn't exactly get cheaper than 20+ years ago. The main factor is time, predictability and control.

Most of DALL-E2 output is great out of the box, the selection process is just fine tuning the results to create something the human in front of the computer likes. DALL-E2 can't mindread, so the image produced might not match what the

Everything in Nix evaluates to a single value, including 'let' and even complete files. There are no blocks like in an imperative language. The '{}' in Nix are not blocks, but sets, known in other languages as maps or di

Not necessarily, most build systems allow you to separate source input and build output. So grabbing the source from the current directly is a possibility, if the build script is clean and doesn't do anything weird in the source direct

When you build into the store, you have to rebuild from scratch. However Nix does allow incremental builds inside your source directory as well. If you spawn a development shell like: nix develop . All the build phases are availabl

You can fix that by adding '?submodules=1' to the URL. It does get rather annoying when compiling local code, as that turns a simple 'nix build' into: nix build "git+file://$(pwd)?submodules=1"

I see nothing especially incomprehensible about Nix, the language itself pretty simple. About the only thing I had a bit of an issue with is that I kept forgetting that functions only take a single argument in Nix. But other than that it is

Guix interface is a bit more friendly by default, but once you enable the 'nix' command on NixOS, there really isn't much of difference in terms of basic CLI experience. The big different is the language and I think Nix wins

`nix --help`, `nix search --help`, ... will show a man page, but a look at source can't hurt, as there are a couple of rough corners with the `nix` command that can be rather confusing. For example `nix profile remove REGEX` will only

One area where I find squashing especially problematic is file renames. If you rename a file in one commit and fix up the references to and from the file in a second, git can follow the rename, but one commit will fail to compile. If you sq

The core problem with most social media, including TikTok, is that they fully control how you can consume the content, be it the endless-recommendations-scrolling of TikTok or the Twitter or Facebook timeline. You can't browse it in a

The thing I am still missing is a zero-weight alternative to Github/lab. Most of the task performed on either of them could be done in a completely distributed fashion (issue tracking, CI, etc.), just like git itself. But there has bee

Are there any Linux client with good spam filtering? I had to give up on XMPP as I was receiving thousands of times the amount of spam as I did actual messages. Just rendered the whole thing completely unusable.

Most project just use the Git history along with LICENSE.txt file in the top level directory. The Git history is the most accurate record of who did what on a project. Some project keep a list of authors at the top of the file, but that get

Not terribly helpful. The issue I run into constantly with attribution is that the place I want to use a work does not have room for attribution. If you use a texture in a game for example, you can't just slap the authors name on it. I

That's going to get interesting. What makes movies 'great' is not just the movie itself, but the shared experience of others having watched that same movie too. That gets lost when you start doing movies completely customized

LUA is essentially build as a plugin language. It's simple and well behaved, very easy to spawn when you need it and throw it away when you are done with it. It can also be isolated, if you don't want to give people access to file

That's a difficult problem to solve and extends far beyond Youtube. The reason why that happens is just due to timing, first one to review a new product gets all the clicks. So they can't spend weeks actually using the product to
