I guarantee it works. Sometimes. On my machine.
Just a minute, let me turn off my radio (proceeds to fumble for 4 minutes)
world_sim> create demiurge Creating demiurge entity... Emanating divine spark from the eternal Pleroma. Separating demiurge from the perfect Fullness. Imbuing demiurge with power to shape lower realms. Veiling demiurge…
Just a personal project - I got a deep interest in the CIA's Stargate program and the declassified documents in the "reading room." I wrote a script to scrape all of the readable or OCRd text from the documents, and fed…
It would be funny if the credits were branded as "drink tickets" when you generated something
I agree. There's a certain amount of personalization I'm willing to accept - like if I'm in the market for a 3d printer and I start getting targeted ads. Where it goes off the rails for me is if I search for information…
I've had the same ad-blocker for ages, and I wasn't receiving any of the YT anti-ad block popups until today. Interestingly, today was when I switched my default search engine in Chrome from Google to Kagi. I have to…
A long time ago, Tascam had some b-stock that had a screwed up label printing that cut off. The labels all said "port-a-stud" and I would love to find one of those some day.
A great sequel to the lesser known "Tables Tarantula" of 1999.
It's a bummer to see some of these prompts that are "copy this artist style," and it's even more of a bummer that one of the first recipes was "take all the art assets from this game, remove any credits to the source,…

A lot of folks in the data processing areas of Yellow were folks on the autistic spectrum, at least in the local branch here, because ASD service organizations helped with interviews and hiring. Because of the nature of…
This is a massive bummer - Teamsters helped protect and unionize a good number of ASD folks (my brother included) with Yellow/YRC and helped provide them with excellent jobs and benefits. My heart goes out to everyone…
I hope Bob Lazar is kicking back with a cigar and a cold one in his backyard and having a good day.
Stripe definitely isn't the only service experiencing this. A legacy system we're in the process of migrating has been hit with a large amount of these in the last month. In particular, they're trying to find the…
lungs might not explode, but they can bleed if the pressure is set incorrectly. i've heard horror stories about people turning it up to 11 and throwing up blood in the mornings.
I've found myself doing a bit of side work for small non-profits, and they tend to use older CMSs for their sites. They also tend to not have anyone on staff who fully manages the website - it usually falls under…
The Logos Foundation in Belgium has been in the robot musician game for a long minute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos_Foundation Godfried-Willem Raes is a fascinating guy and builds the robots. I asked him once…
I had a 2021 situation where a consultant had convinced the executive level of the non-profit I work at to move to SF with their Non-Profit Success Package. It ultimately failed to launch because it seemed like every…
Francis Bacon used to take polaroids and bend/tear/burn them as photo reference - I imagine if he was born 40 years later he might have taken a similar path in glitching out images like this. I like it!
I think it has a lot to do with what they said about your goals changing. When I first started painting a decade ago, my goal was to do a good oil portrait. But now, painting has become so personal and spiritual to me,…
The best art instruction I ever found was when I took a portraiture class and an anatomy class through the local art shop, though I don't think anything can replace just doing it all the time. Much like fishing and…
For what it's worth, I think that you might be wrestling with issues greater than a choice (or perceived lack of choice) of college major. I would suggest talking to a therapist regarding the boredom and frustration. It…
