Yeah, that was what I remembered, hence the surprise. It wasn't too bad, coming from arch, but creature comforts are welcome nonetheless.

I found that in direct comparison, the background often was enough to tell the difference - but that was mostly because one of the images had a detailed background with text or architecture, which I know the AI would struggle with. I think

Yes, this puts something I believe rather nicely. I think this applies to every mathematical structure, and that, in a sense, the number 3 and my desk exist on the same conceptual level of reality. (Only one is a tad more complex than the o

I think many a junior just never initialized a repository, and 'git clone' is what they've used to "get a repository". So I would forgive them for thinking that a remote is needed for having a repository on their dr
