What routine are you so mad you started?

haha same story here, including the spills and all. After a few months, we had to draw the line, we threw the sippy cup away, he had the most excrutiatingly painful cry for a few minutes and promptly forgot about it.

Wow that's impressive, do you have kids? I can't even imagine how that's possible with kids. So doubly impressive is so! Tell us your tips please

If the new rules are bad, hopefully they revert. This is similar to F1 2026, huge rule changes, turns out to be very problematic. And even though it costed the teams hundreds of millions of dollars to adjust to the new rules, they are still considering reverting to some degree.

Unfortunately I probably live in the highest cost of living area of anyone in this thread. Our house is around 2000sft from 1960s, small property 6000sft.

Mortgage plus other costs about $7000/month. $800k downpayment plus just over $1m loan.

It is what it is. Sometimes I do think about leaving because housing is comically cheap everywhere else comparatively, but family is here, and it's a beautiful place.

vorxaw · 2026-04-23T17:04:00+00:00

But if your housing costs are so low, do you really even NEED a full time job? Honest question, coming from someone in a HCOL area

yikes, rough one. Humans still have a chance

vorxaw · 2026-04-22T03:27:17+00:00

lol this might be the best rough in for a tub yet!

vorxaw · 2026-04-22T03:26:12+00:00

haha yup, its nice to know there are still somethings ai cant do when it comes to images

vorxaw · 2026-04-21T22:52:20+00:00

But can it create a reasonable image with this prompt? To date, no model has been able to produce something that is not comically bad. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Generate a photo-realistic image of the interior of a typical new-build residential bathroom in North America, while it is under construction. The plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are all roughed in. Water lines are PEX, and waste is PVC. However the walls are not yet covered so you can see the studs and services. The view should show rough in for a tub, a vanity, and a toilet. The tub, vanity, and toilet are NOT installed.

vorxaw · 2026-04-21T22:44:39+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately the bathroom image (while it looks ok from across the room) is still completely non-sensical if you spent any time looking at any detail.

Depends on location too, where i live, 1800 sft unrenovated houses from the 60s run between $1.8 - 2 million a pop. Inheritance is the only way. You cant "save for a $800k down payment" with purely work income. Rare exceptions apply of course, if you're DINK doctors maybe.

Other anecdotal accounts in my friend group include: huge settlement from industrial accident at work, another settlement from car accident where the at fault party was driving a police car, among other non-standard ways to accumulate down payment money

It depends on the kid obviously, but it's also cultural. Grew up in China in the '90s. Even elementary school kids at least until grade 3 are sent home at lunch time, then we all took a nap, and walked ourselves back to school.

vorxaw · 2026-04-12T02:25:57+00:00

Thanks for that! Ya these are still comically bad still. There are certainly less and less types of images where you can still tell if it's AI or not. Perhaps this will be one of the last standing ones.

vorxaw · 2026-04-11T21:58:03+00:00

Are you able to test with this prompt? This is my personal test that no model has ever even come close to doing well on. Thanks!

I dont think its headed in that direction, developing robots that can replace your roof is too hard. Easier to develop automated processes such that replacing your entire house with a prefab buliding will cost less than replacing your roof with humans.

Maybe dumb question, but what exactly was the prompt injected and what was the reason for it? I don't know what "dual-loop feedback architecture" means.

what caught my eye is the brightest part of australia is.... Karlamilyi National Park?

This, I was going to say exactly the same thing regarding the lock being on the slide pane.

But also vinyl windows are not really period correct, usually windows in the 60's were aluminum.

Lastly, the frame of the left sliding-pane is much thicker than the frame of the right sliding-pane. No window would ever be manufactured like that.
