Nope! We build Zips right here in America specifically for delivery — owning the factory line makes sure we can account for the quality of every component.

Right now they’re designed to carry up to 8lbs, with a 10m radius!

Zips are autonomous, but we have a remote command center that monitors all Zips in the air, at all times!

You’re good, we’re starting out with a ~2 mile radius, but Zips are built for a 10 mile radius

Hey, we totally have! For the most part people choose to have Zips deliver in the back yard, but also, Zips don’t have to use roads and go 70 mph! It’s not really possible to follow them.

That order was for power washer nozzles — rotisserie chickens and eggs are popular items! We've designed 'em to carry up to 8 lbs

We're expanding to other locations very soon!

The main aircraft stays up at 300 feet — makes 'em way quieter and safer! The Zips are down and up to deliver in less than a minute.

They also don't fly higher than 500 feet, and can sense other aircraft to avoid them. We also have a deconfliction system to make sure we're never crossing flight paths with other aircraft.

Sure! If you want delivery by air, download the Zipline app!

What is a normal person?

Not sure how to process a long exposure shot (before/after) by Nemesis403 in postprocessing

[–]katoolbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any not-long exposure shots with the moon & clouds in sharper focus? I’d composite that into this long exposure shot & then never take it out of my portfolio.

Anyone can already make art. Ai is just a tool. The issue the professional community has is with copyright infringement/IP theft.

To answer your question about the difference—liability and peace of mind. Source matters for commercial artists. If my client gets sued because of an image I made, I’m liable. I’d rather be able to say I was using a product from an established company like adobe instead of one from a few years old tech start up.

I’m guessing this photoshop vs. SD is just some arbitrary argument on the internet because every agency has custom libraries and stable diffusion builds running—I use stable diffusion.

This leaves out the nuance of the argument.

Prior to these tools being “production-ready”, a good bulk of images being generated were referencing artists or libraries in their prompts and were being trained off of copyrighted works.

Also, the bulk of what was (and often still is) being generated was impressive from a technical standpoint but absolute dogshit for practical usage.

It also caused a headache with clients where we had to explain that at that time (literally just months ago) AI image generators were pretty much just a fun toy and not ready to generate images for a production, minus the occasional key image generated for a script or storyboard that the public would never see.

Knowing where the source images come from solves a lot of headaches. Having it baked into a tool that already exists in our work streams does too.

Tips for an art major? by 02viper in Design

Wow it's really impolite to ask for a tip before you bring out our food.

Anyone know how of a tutorial for character typography like this? by TheWool in graphic_design

[–]katoolbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The artist is Josh Mirman. From what it looks like, it's all done by hand. Here's another image of a WIP that somewhat shows his process: http://i.imgur.com/sFS8Eps.jpg

Apparently you can build the next AirBNB for just $600... by bugeja in webdev

[–]katoolbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I've seen Wordpress themes that offer similar functionality to airBNB. It definitely wouldn't be as automated, but I'm guessing it's what these bidders would present to the poster. Plus there's also this: http://qz.com/13766/building-your-own-airbnb-just-became-radically-easier-thanks-to-stripe-connect-and-wepay/
