It generates textures yes.... but some of these outputs you might as well be showing the user a magenta-and-black placeholder texture

Backend guy here, but I wrote my website's Rails+Turbo frontend with Bulma. It's been pleasant, works well enough, generally hassle-free for typical web CMS-blog-infosite type duties. My only real complaint is the navbar menus lac

The "Unity Asset Store" is effectively Splice But the licensing doesn't do pay outs, with sampling you pay once and its yours to use as you see fit. As it should be, we don't need anyone else sticking their hands out.

That's very simple... a) Find good DJs playing music you like (YouTube is very helpful here, as is partying) b) Listen to their sets c) Shazam (or just trainspot) the tracks you like. (Shazam has a really nice integration with SPotify

FreeBSD doesn't suffer from the bazaar complex that linux does, in that for each given system there is generally only one way to do things, and the documentation is both succint and comprehensive. One of the most frustrating things abo

Whatever it is it needs to run Docker... it should do that. Jails are cool and bhyve is neat, but the world has chosen docker and cgroups and I got sick of not being able to join the party. I've since replaced my FreeBSD install with P

It isn't just about replacing the system, because as you say it works for the people that stand to benefit the most from it. A better replacement can never emerge until we have reprogrammed the culture of maximization and "efficie

I disagree with this blocking tactic of "if you want to complain about it you must come up with something better" Like, yes, let me completely redo my entire life path so I can redo one stupid argument.... I would love to, but I w

I am glad he is calling out the C-levels for their propensity to lie and 'manage up'. This is a character trait that needs to be annihilated. We should not be filtering for what is effectively psychopathy. I have watched so many a

Rising from #10 to #5 seems to imply that a lot of people are making 'questionable' decisions. As an active senior RoR dev since like 2014ish seeing that makes my heart atwitter :)

I wonder if you can use Flux to generate the base image then img2img on SD1.4 to impart artistic style?

Hillsdale College somehow sends me a circular several times a year full of right-wing neoconservative religious cocksucking. That right there immediately disproves your "100% composed of leftists" assertion. I'm sure the stud

I don't usually ask for citations on comment threads, but assserting that 'exploitation' is Marxist propaganda is gonna need some citations for me to take even remotely seriously. Otherwise, talk about room temperature IQs...

Are you sure about that? So much of "good business practice" is really exploiting your suppliers. If you are trying to underpay for a resource, or forcing cost cuts, or simply taking more of the pie that you previously gave your r

Funded by... Harvard Business School? I wonder what their motivations might be hmmmm???? Wouldn't that be funny if some of their coconspirators are AI companies???

I just ask it for what I want in very specific detail, stating the language and frameworks in use. I keep the ideas self-contained -- for example if I need something for the frontend I will ask it to make me a webcomponent. Asking it to not

Honestly the code it's been giving me has been fairly cromulent. I don't believe in premature optimization and it is perfect for getting features out quick and then I mold it to what it needs to be.

I have been deploying useful code from LLMs right and left over the last several months. They are a significant force accelerator for programmers if you know how to prompt them well.

Why do we need video? Is there a good reason beyond the fact that moneyed interests have brainwashed people into thinking they need it? That they've destroyed attention spans so nobody knows how to frickin read? Maybe it's time

This idea that content owners need compensation for making their content available needs to go. There was an entire generation of kind souls doing exactly that until the culture was suffocated to death by late-stage American capitalism. I a
