When you say "Things then get better and better with each model release." How far behind are models that can be run locally, and do you expect that this will be widespread?
I read it that strong emotions have a signature that's processed differently in the context of data points vs the context of human interaction in meatspace. It feels to me like an intro to a deeper insight that's…
I'm an adult with a fairly balanced view of AI and I find it difficult to learn coding without occasionally using AI to help me navigate to the most relevant bits of MDN or help me check if my thinking on an approach is…
My partner was working at an event and a co-worker had prepared a poster using AI - a teenage kid at the event pointed out how the poster "has AI smudges". Gotta love that - the teenage AI scold.
We use Teams at work and when you choose the icon it takes you to a screen that has a large icon of a door with a rope in front of it. From there you get to choose Teams on web or Teams the app. The point of the door is…
I also took it that the benefit of being a good photographer and not using digital is that you take less photos and may end up more efficient as a result. I could be wrong but it's cumbersome when wedding photographers…
I've often mused about how people get irritated by others being optimistic about change when the observers have tried change in the past and not been able to maintain it. I feel that the experience of that can lead to a…
As someone who has eaten way too much sugary food I think my gut-brain coupling may have had enough of this. A few weeks ago I had a sugar binge one night and the cognitive effects were impossible to ignore the next…
It simply depends on what your needs are IMO - You can do great magazine design in Affinity, brochures, flyers, logos all that stuff. The only thing I'd miss in InDesign is image expand probably. Also if you're making…
Shout out to those who give their time to open-source free to use projects. You make the internet a more tolerable place.
There's also the poll that was conducted by penn state - It found that 82% of Israelis want to expel Gazans, and 47% of support killing all Palestinians in Gaza. Article was featured in Haaretz - linked to here:…
I had a break from ChatGPT for a few months and got back onto it last week with some questions about game engines. I noticed that this time it's asking a lot of stuff when it looks like I'm coming to the end of my…
In response to this, I was going to craft a comment that critiqued the critiques and began with the same wording as the critiques but instead I'll say this... A nuanced critique! - excellent. Please, nobody reply to…
I'm keen to make a vector game and want something fast. I was excited to read about this thing but when I saw Lottie it made me think that the animations would be quite closed data-wise, whereas the game design I have…
Flat silhouetted icons have a more versatile set of contexts - much like flat text does. Sure, you can express a lot in an icon that's 3D and whatnot but it needs its own stage to 'act' and really come alive, or else…
An elderly friend of my partner's family had her Facebook account hacked some time ago. Every so often, I get a friend request from an account using her avatar with the same name, but with some characters appended or…
As someone who has no interest in using this facility, I find it interesting that the author 'enjoys' BNPL, when they are not the main customer (unless I'm mistaken, it's people with limited cash flow). Enjoy in what…
Runaway Play I also hear good things about Dinosaur Polo Club
I came across a game studio a few years ago here in NZ that does it right. I worked in a hot desk place that housed their studio in a space - they were never working past 5.30, had amazing staff reviews (they did them…
I wonder what the chances are if there's a few of them within the Boötes void. It's pretty big.
I'm in my 50s and I'm currently mulling the conundrum of being an artist and designer with art and design side projects, and now having them sidelined by a new-found interest in p5js. I'm getting little glimpses of…
Try hovering over the symbols on the card - though I couldn't get the morph one to work on Firefox
I love this - shout out from the Southern Hemisphere though - would love to see our version of it.
With image AI there are structural editing tools that can include the creator drawing guide images. I think there's a point at which this makes things a bit more like collage of found media, and I believe this is more…
I'm learning javascript as my first programming language and I'm somewhere around beginner/intermediate. I used Chatgpt for a while, but stopped after a time and just mostly use documentation now. I don't want code…
