  • User: I'd like you to make me a robot

    Stable Diffusion: I'll put tits on it just in case

  • Fixed ty

  • I hope she crumpled it up, then reconsidered, uncrumpled, took the photo, and then presumably recrumpled it before throwing it away.

    Edit: Regendered

  • Yeah, probably. The other side of "this is so badly needed why haven't you done it for us" is "if this is so badly needed why haven't any of the server admins or mods implemented it yet."

  • I feel like this is an example of how the core dev team running on an instance that basically just has 3 of the admins do more or less all the moderation for the entire site is not ideal. This type of feature is probably one of the most-requested pain points for most people who run most servers, but my guess is that it’s basically completely invisible to the .ml team why it would even be needed, because their model works fine for them, so why would they.

    Of course they’ve got a right to work or not work on whatever they want, but if their goal is success and good moderation for most servers this type of scalability and teamwork enabling thing is super important.

    • Tiny pop-up tent, easier to carry if you can fit inside
    • Headlamps
    • Sleeping pad or something to separate you from the cold ass ground
    • Don't interact with the cute little bear cubs
  • Google bought Waze, so at this point you're probably not making any Israeli spies money if you make use of it. On the other hand, you're making Google money, which is almost as bad.

  • I actually rephrased my statement and made it in the exact way that I did because of the Lord of the Rings. The movies are excellent, easily good enough to be masterpieces by Hollywood standards, but they are still a pale imitation of the original.

  • Nice try Steve Bannon

  • Yeah.

    “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “The Shining” are the two times that an excellent book has been turned into an excellent movie by deviating from the book to create something that’s well suited to be on the screen and they both are good.

    “The Shawshank Redemption” is the one time that an excellent book has been turned into an excellent movie by sticking to the source material and just doing a good job bringing it to life.

    In all other cases the movie is a pale imitation, if the book was any good. Just put the book out of your mind and watch the movie, it’s a movie.

  • Yeah. I get that they couldn't just have the trailer be "this guy wakes up in a spaceship and we can't tell you anything else," but maybe they should have.

    I was willing to forgive them for spoiling the context of the mission (even though it's still significant), but come on man. You guys knew that was a secret. You knew.

    1. Hooray
    2. I was all set to congratulate the trailer on making a compelling case for the movie without any significant spoilers, but so much for that lol
  • Yeah, almost to an excessive degree. To me it's fine, it just means the designer has room to grow in terms of their skill at getting the right balance, but also it's going to be a little bit of personal taste. This video includes some pretty interesting discussion of the balance between spelling things out, making sure that everyone can notice and enjoy them, versus making things opaque knowing that you'll leave some people behind but making it that much more special for the people who found them "all by themselves" without any kind of prompting.

  • TIL.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unique definition 3 includes examples like "very unique" and "fairly unique." So it's incorrect only if you assume that American usage is wrong and British usage is right, I guess. According to the Cambridge Dictionary I think you are right about how it's used in British English.

  • Yeah. It's not a perfect game, it has many issues, but it is fun and exciting and it does something very very different, very successfully. I'm reminded of the Zero Punctuation review of Psychonauts basically saying that its number one good point was that it was something genuinely mad and original, in contrast to the sea of imitation that is modern gaming, and for that alone hooray.

  • Yeah. That one was on my list to play but I haven't checked it out yet, I have heard similar things about it.

  • All I can say is you're missing out... I can see that it's a type of game that may not be for everybody, but it is honestly probably the most unusual game I have ever played in my life and I'm enjoying it a lot. I almost did the same as you did, I beat Leshy one time and then continued messing around with it sort of out of curiosity... and then the whole actual fuckin' game started.

    It just made me pick a file from my hard drive, made me a card based on it, and then told me if I let that card die, it's going to delete that file. This game is nuts man.

  • And storing the source and such for every dependency would be bigger than, and result in the same thing as an image.

    Let's flip that around.

    The insanity that would be downloading and storing everything you need, wrapping it all up into a massive tarball and then shipping it to anyone who wants to use the end product, and also by the way assuming that everything you need in order to rebuild it will always be available from every upstream source if you want to make any changes, is precisely what Docker does. And yes, it's silly to trust that everything it's referencing will always be available from whoever's providing it.

    (Also, security)

    Docker is like installing onto an empty computer then shipping the entire machine to the end user.

    Correct. Because it's not capable enough to make actually-reproducible builds.

    My point is, you can do that imaging (in a couple of different ways) with Nix, if you really wanted to. No one does, because it would be insane when you have other more effective tools that can accomplish the exact same goal without needing to ship the entire machine to the end user. There are good use cases for Docker, making it easy to scale services up as was the original intent is a really good one. The way people commonly use it today, as a way to make reproducible environments for ease of one-off deployment, is not one. In my opinion.

    I've been tempted into a "my favorite technology is better" pissing match, I guess. Anyway, Nix is better.

  • The issue is, nix builds are only guaranteed to be reproducible if the dependencies don’t change.

    Dude, this is exactly why Nix is better. Docker builds are only guaranteed to be reproducible if the dependencies don't change. Which they will. The vast majority of real-world Dockerfiles do pip install, wget, all kinds of basically unlimited nonsense to pull down their dependencies from anywhere on the internet.

    Nix builds, on the other hand, are forbidden from the internet, specifically to force them to declare dependencies explicitly and have it within a managed system. You can trust that the Nix repositories aren't going to change (or store them yourself, along with all the source that generated them and will actually produce the same binaries, if you're paranoid). You can send the flake.nix and flake.lock files and it will actually work to reproduce a basically byte-identical container on the receiver's end, which means you don't have to send multi-gigabyte "images" in order to be able to depend on the recipient actually being able to make use of it. This is what I was saying that the whole thing of needing "images" is a non-issue if your workflow isn't allowing arbitrary fuckery on an industrial scale whenever you are trying to spin up a new container.

    I suspect that making a new container and populating it with something useful is so trivial on Nix, that you're missing the point of what is actually happening, whereas with Docker you can tell something big is happening because it's such a fandango when it happens. And so you assume Docker is "real" and Nix is "fake" or something.

    I like one a package to be independent

    Yes, me too, which is why an affinity for Docker is weird to me.
