I don't really have anything to say other than the fact that you both don't thing there's a difference between using AI and actually creating something yourself, and that you also don't care for explaining why those are

The thing, which anyone who's ever done any type of art realizes, is that 99% of the time, there isn't really such a thing as a high fidelity image in your mind's eye. You feel like there is... But the minute you try to bring

That's true, but the very feeling that I might be inputting things in a way that might have to be updated later kinda drained my motivation. I do understand that even if does get replaced eventually, it still was useful for a while, an

It doesn't help that there are multiple ways to map sidewalks in OSM (as a property of the roads themselves, or as standalone paths parallel to the roads). I got pretty into OSM for a while and that's definitely the thing that eve

Same! Somehow I had never heard of this. Will have to try and visit someday! Also, lol @ the name of the river near that site. (For the gringos: "Rego Grande", "rego" officially means ditch/trench, but nowadays it&#

Moises is able to do that! Though it's unfortunately not open source. Result quality can vary as with anything AI, but ime it usually performs ok.

Respectfully, his graph does not need 3 dimensions because it's a personal spreadsheet he uses just for his own training, so he can just display the data for his exact body weight.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!

Hah, that's very interesting to learn. I've always thought the little flag was lifted by the mailman, so that the homeowner could tell from a distance that they got mail. Cool that it's actually the other way around.

What exactly is wrong about a solution that perfectly fits the most common use case out there, at a fraction of the cost/complexity?

The vast, vast majority of websites never see anything even close to that, so it's a safe bet unless you have some specific reason to expect it to reach that kind of traffic, or you are dealing with workloads that SQLite really does no

Huh, had no idea it they had a pack like that! I definitely only ever played it on the browser. I doubt that pack released here in Brazil. Though that's an interesting point: some games were localized on the Brazilian CN website! Not a

Hah, that explains the out-of-left-field theme! I had no idea they were reskins of exiting games. Interesting how child me managed to unknowingly zero in into the games of a single developer.! And thanks for the game names as wel, although,

My favorite three aren't in there. All Dexter's Lab themed, now that I think about it. One was puzzle game where you had to bounce a laser off of mirrors to pop balloons. The second was kind of a Chip's Challenge kind of deal

Most homeless people aren't born homeless. Maybe at the point they're at now, yeah, a $500 rent and a $5000 are equally inaccessible. But for the people on the edge of homelessness, that $500 rent could be the difference that prev

That's an interesting take. Care to say more about HtWFaIP being unhealthy?

In practice it is a problem, because not everyone who needs low latency audio is a professional. Case in point: just the other week I was trying to get Rocksmith (a guitar game where you plug in an actual guitar with their custom USB cabl

How come that when people handling uranium decide the rules are nonsensical it's bad, but when people handling bananas decide the rules (that, please note, apply to everyone with radioactive materials), it's somehow A-ok?

For sure it's a very minor impact, all things considered, but an impact nonetheless.

Most people who have the option of buying a Mac and still go with Windows/Linux machines do so because of the software. The hardware is almost universally agreed to be great, and a stronger overall package than most non-Mac options. So

I thought I'd be unimpressed by the mirrored version, but I can say that for myself, it really did have a different feel to it. I've always pictured the boats moving right, sliding down, as if surfing the wave. The mirrored versio

I do think that there's some loss in translated manga, actually! When the mangaka is creating the layout, they're conceptualizing the flow not only of the panels, but also of the text inside panels, to be RTL. Translating the text

I've long thought that words such as "unlimited", "infinite" and so on should be legally banned from marketing, or at the very least their use should be heavenly regulated. _Nothing_ is actually infinite. Everything

Yeah, I don't mind the static, manually selected ads too much. They tend to be much less annoying, and for better/more relevant services and products. And as a bonus (for the website owner), they're also much harder to automa

Totally agreed. That one silly gesture is the one thing still keeping me with Motorola, it really has become second nature. It's almost bizarre how I immediately do it as soon as I'm in any kind of darkness. I had to spend a coupl
