Why are they saying it’s stupid?

The idea is solid, if not exactly new territory in terms of the rich young superhero thing.

So, if that’s what they’re griping about, screw 'em.

If they’re saying that trying to create a comic at all is stupid, they’re stupid. Nothing wrong with a creative endeavour, though if you aren’t realistically planning ahead on how to make it happen, that would be pretty stupid. Anyone can do their own thing if they have the talent to actually crank out the art and writing (most people struggle with one or the other tbh). But getting it published is a very difficult proposition. Indie artists struggle like hell, even if they do their own site and distribution.

So, if you haven’t planned that far ahead, they might be right that your plan is stupid.

However, if you’ve actually gotten some pages done, and they’ve read it and think it’s stupid, it comes down to how much you value their opinion about comics. Being real, some people’s opinions are shit on a given subject, so if theirs are known to be bad, then fuck 'em. But if they tend to have reliable quality takes on comics (or the craft that goes into them), maybe they’re right, no way for us to know.

But nah man, there’s nothing stupid about this kind of project in and of itself. Nor is the basic concept stupid.

Wait, you want to block a random community for moderating based on its own clearly posted rules based on a removal, and then came to PTB to post about that?

That’s… Impressive in a strange way.

You go to the community you posted it in and block from there

Dude, I’m having way too shitty a week to deal with some rando being a dick.

Go somewhere else for an argument.

Ahhh, it may help folks to know what you’re talking about if you check the posting guidelines and take a stab at giving the kind of info they suggest. Your post as it is, I can’t even make heads or tails of without asking my wife to read a few bits things my dyslexia won’t let me parse, and what I can make out doesn’t make much sense.

I mean, kinda.

But it’s like saying proud only means a good feeling about the self.

Kung fu has shifted in meddling meaning to refer to (depending on how you look at it) a martial art “genre” and it’s original meaning.

It’s okay to use the word for both, ain’t nobody gonna misunderstand you, and only pedants will give you shit over either it’s original use, or that it isn’t really a single martial art at all.

Ima echo paragone@lemmy.world, and add that it simply isn’t as good.

So, like paragone said, the built in obsolescence of Bluetooth headphones by most makers is total bullshit and the world can’t afford that way of doing things.

But holy shit, to get decent sound out of Bluetooth, you have to go pretty damn high end compared to what you can get on a budget wired because there’s extra shit involved. Maybe someday Bluetooth will reach full parity in quality or transmission (hell, it isn’t that far away if you ignore my picky ears), but when you tack on at least an extra thirty to fifty bucks (based on my last comparison shopping of wired vs Bluetooth from companies with equivalent models in both forms) just for the privilege of weaker quality and the annoyances of dropped connections here and there, even going high end isn’t a sure thing.

Ngl, I have a pair of anker soundcore buds a friend gave me that I fucking love, and a sennheiser Bluetooth over ear headset that’s both comfy and reliable alongside better than acceptable music quality. So I’m not shitting on Bluetooth audio entirely. I don’t hate the idea, obviously. It’s the execution and the fucking insistence of it on phones that reaches hate levels.

But, ignoring that, testing similar models of audio specific headphones side by side, wired vs Bluetooth, there is a detectable difference. And I’m middle aged with ears that have taken a beating via loud music and occasional firearm discharge without good earpro. So if I’m picking up a loss in clarity and soundstage with otherwise similar models, there’s a gap.

Then you gotta deal with incompatibilities with older audio sources. There’s some flat out amazing fucking gear for budget audio out there that’s going to require an extra piece of gear to use the best Bluetooth cans. There’s also amazing old gear that isn’t budget, but when you’re buying that stuff, you won’t blink at the extra gear. But you do still need it for no benefit to the sound itself

Damn though, the freedom of movement is damn nice

Yeah, she is way better than that show let her be. I’m not even a huge fan of hers, but she’s definitely got great comedy chops.

The whole show was only funny to people that think sitcoms are high comedy to begin with.

Mind you, anyone that enjoys them are welcome to! Humour is a very personal thing. I’m just saying that sitcom humor is not universal as a whole, and that this sitcom played to a narrow audience that heavily favors that style of comedy show. If you aren’t the sort that really grooves on that template and style, the show just won’t hit right.

It’s like how people with really dark senses of humor tend to not be prone to liking cartoon style humor.

Sitcom specific fans know what they like, and tend not to like things that aren’t similar

No shit, this seems like a horrible idea for using while driving. I can maybe see it for trip planning, but on the road, you shouldn’t need to look at the screen at all

Chicken food & bedding, toilet paper, chocolate, and coffee

No bullshit

It is awesome that you left the previous comment in place. Mad props!

Well, I’m not a code monkey, between dyslexia and an aging brain. But if it’s anything like the tiny bit of coding I used to be able to do (back in the days of basic and pascal), you don’t really have to pore over every single line. Only time that’s needed is when something is broken. Otherwise, you’re scanning to keep oversight, which is no different than reviewing a human’s code that you didn’t write.

Look at it like this; we automated assembly of machines a long time ago. It had flaws early on that required intense supervision. The only difference here on a practical level is about how the damn things learned in the first place. Automating code generation is way more similar to that than llms that generate text or images that aren’t logical by nature.

If the code used to train the models was good, what it outputs will be no worse in scale than some high school kid in an ap class stepping into their first serious challenges. It will need review, but if the output is going to be open source to begin with, it’ll get that review even if the project maintainers slip up.

And being real, lutris has been very smooth across the board while using the generated code so far. So if he gets lazy, it could go downhill; but that could happen if he gets lazy with his own code.

Another concept that I am more familiar with, that does relate. Writing fiction can take months. Editing fiction usually takes days, and you can still miss stuff (my first book has typos and errors to this day because of the aforementioned dyslexia and me not having a copy editor).

My first project back in the eighties in basic took me three days to crank out during the summer program I was in. The professor running the program took an hour to scan and correct that code.

Maybe I’m too far behind the various languages, but I really can’t see it being a massively harder proposition to scan and edit the output of an llm.

I dunno man, seems like a month to make the first video is already pretty generous. If you aren’t already in motion to have a video finished, why make the account?

After that, a set time might not be as useful since the pace of recording, editing, etc can be slow if someone isn’t a major hobbyist or pro.

Yeah, this is actually one of the good things a technology like this can do.

He’s dead right, in terms of slop, if it’s someone with training and experience using a tool, it doesn’t matter if that tool is vim or claude. It ain’t slop if it’s built right.

Reubens are one of a small number of what I call perfect sandwiches. Which is a lot to unpack, but it comes dish to being fulfilling in its most basic form without the need for extras, even if those extras make the overall experience better.

Not that that’s relevant to much, but I think it points to why your simple homemade Reuben is so good compared to your local stores. Everything simple, prepared well, and fresher than typical outside of a proper deli.

The Reuben is also, by a wide margin, my favorite sandwich. It’s also one of my favorite meals, period, though picking a single favorite is not realistic for me.

What’s great about them is that the basic form allows for personalization within a decent range while still being a proper Reuben. I tend to like to add little spicy mustard on mine alongside the dressing while using seeded kraut, seeded rye, and a young cheese.

I don’t really have the ability to corn my own beef, or make my own cheese. And, tbh, my attempts at kraut were less than stellar. But I would enjoy very much trying it, if I had the wherewithal just to see how finely I could tweak the ingredients to my preferences.

Well, at this point, I don’t think this can be called PTB.

Not because it isn’t a poor decision, it was.

But because that’s a long standing policy of the c/ that isn’t going to change, and has been debated to death already.

Regardless of any opinions about the policy, or individual removals, JL is pretty consistent in being zero tolerance with anything that smacks of blogging. That isn’t a power trip, it’s just a really persnickity rule.

Since no other action was taken, it can’t be overreacting either. Mods gotta mod. The point of them being there is to keep a community on a given path, whether we agree with that path or not. It only becomes PTB when there’s something other than basic curation going on. And that’s what this is.

Fwiw, I don’t agree with the totality of the rule, and disagree with this specific post actually breaking it, but it ain’t my c/ to curate. I suspect, like you, that the presence of blog in the url is the cause of that decision. That being said, blog spam disguised as news is a problem, and having to track down every damn site individually is beyond what it’s worth to have the posts there.

I dunno, it’s difficult to say much more without just debating the validity of the site, which isn’t useful here, so I avoid doing so whenever possible.

I guess to sum up, neither YDI or PTB, just a poor mod decision

Consarned cantankerousness

You know, as much as I dislike the way llms and other models have been made and used by capitalists, I agree with you that the moral panic around it has turned into a form of slop itself.

It isn’t like people haven’t been dreaming of what the technology could be for decades. And it isn’t like it wasn’t inevitable that something would be created like the various generative models. The only part that’s bad is the execution. Which is extremely fucking bad, and it’s disgusting that it is happening. But that’s not the same thing as the underlying concept and technology being bad.

OP’s mom.

Mainly to collect all that semen to sell on the black market
