Same.

I'm a noob, so there's that, but I use Organic Maps, which is basic and does offline driving, too.

🎼 "525,600 servings - how do you measure a quarter-second spray?" 🎶 ~Rent, probably.

What did you jump into instead? Any advice on transitioning out of sdev?

I'm from the US, if I could read, I bet this post would upset me! 😅

No, in US labeling, it's all a rounding scheme designed to hide the facts thanks to junk food lobbyists.

"amounts less than 5 calories may be expressed as zero." [Within whatever arbitrary(!!!) serving size the company elects to use for their junk.] So they just pick a serving size that, for instance would be 4 (k)cal, and then call it zero across the board to suit their desire to obfuscate the truth.

Not to mention, what they call a calorie is really a kilocalorie.

Honestly, it all starts going to shite after "hello world."

According to Poon, some of the company’s most experienced personnel left before all of their accumulated knowledge could be fully transferred into Ford’s automated systems. That necessitated bringing back some of those employees to retrain those systems...

See this, nothing was learned by these slop-shits. Their take away wasn't humans-with-experience > than slop-bots. It was, unfortunately, 'we didn't extract enough knowledge from the humans that helped build our company before tossing as many humans away as possible. Once we've extracted enough, we'll try again.'

Fuck you poon and co.

Just coffee?!? That's cool.

Mine runs on:

• coffee
• spite
• tortilla chips
• & shame

How DARE another company rape and pillage the data and IP we raped and pillaged!

~anthropic, probably

Fuck them, and ycombinator, fwiw.

I don't think my keyboard is as smart as y'alls:

I'm sorry for being me home something yummy later lunch w friends giving was nice if you can add dog food and peeps still love you.

Back in the day, I had a roommate in her late 20s, that didn't even know there was a dryer screen, let alone know to empty it. I spent months wondering why my least-linty clothes were still filling up the screen... My wife spent months wondering why it took 3 cycles to dry her stuff... The landlord spent hours cleaning out the dangerously blocked duct.

Clean your filters after every use, peeps!

Hey @glitchdx@lemmy.world,

First, I think your sketch is great!! I'd encourage you too feel pride in it, because you did it! I bet it's better than you could do a year ago, and honestly a lot of people could never do that much (including me). So keep running with it.

Second, you said you are genuinely trying to get better at art. So keep putting your efforts where your mouth is by continuing to practice, and not taking any shortcuts to the finish line just to get a finished product. Shortcuts don't make you better, grinding does.

Finally, is it slop, yes, but I'm a bit more lax on your question about using ai-slop than some others. By example I mean:

• If your goal was simply to make (with a LLM assist) some cool looking desktop background for your own personal use it whatever. Go for it, enjoy! But don't go sharing it saying 'look what I did,' cause you didn't, fully.
• If your goal is to publish something (& you mentioned 'your book'), esp to sell it, I personally would take no pride in sharing something a slop-bot was used to get it out the door, nor would I appreciate it being shared with me. And I'd love for you to feel pride in every aspect of your personal projects.
  • And if you've got a vision for a project, and you're worried it'll never happen without help, I get that. But while it could be hard, maybe you could search for another artist whose style you like (there is a LOT of starving ones right now) to partner up with you. Maybe you commission them, maybe you become co-owners of this project, etc, but ultimately it becomes a project two+ people could be proud of! 🥳
    • And if you get to that finish line the way a creative should, I'll honestly be super stoked for you. So let me be first in line to pre-order the fruits of your labor. I believe in you! Keep us posted.

As an american, at this point in time: Idiocracy.

My take:

The cube's mass is x (eg one gram) and its velocity is zero, therefore its momentum (m*v) is zero. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, while objects at rest (e.g. momentum of zero), tend to stay at rest.

The thing which is moving, is the portal. At best, the event horizon of it reaches the leading-end then the trailing-end of the cube at the speed the portal is moving over the depth of the cube. If the portal moves faster, that distance is covered faster, and the full cube is entirely on the other end of the other portal faster [than a slower moving portal].

Since going through the portal is a frictionless and forceless action, the speed at which the portal fully envelops the cube would neither add nor remove momentum upon it. And if the cube did have its own momentum it would be maintained, but since it does not, the cube would not move until another force, like gravity, acted upon it.

So, A.

I thought Jellyfin was just a self-hosted client/server for the media you already possess..? Are you just being tongue-in-cheek and I'm whooshing a ref to #SailingTheHighSeas, or am I missing something about Jellyfin?

I'm with you, MasterBlaster!

It sucks for lots of us, more every day, so at least we're not miserable, alone.

/s Thank goodness all APIs are perfectly documented so a slopbot can figure it out (every time), and build a ui on the fly, and not brick everything. 🙄

That was really beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

Me, too.
