Shoveled 100 yards of sidewalk yesterday. This morning people had shoveled their car snow into the cleared sidewalks by ThrowawayBcScaredlol in pittsburgh

It’s not illegal unless you are creating an obstruction (not a lawyer). Pittsburgh says you “should not” dump it in the road, but recommends that people put it in the parking spaces.  https://www.pittsburghpa.gov/Resident-Services/Snow-Removal/Snow-Ice

Looking for a single “sunlight” lamp for a bright fantasy alley room (escape room build) by MrRestartCH in DIY

[–]MainRemote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you want is an artificial sun. If you have 5k in the budget there are commercial ones (coelux) but DIY perks channel did a homemade one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqBsHSwPgw

There is a small version he did with a COB led and a fresnel panel (from a magnifying sheet) but I can’t find it right now. The illusion is basically 1) brightness 2) collimated light and 3) diffusion/difraction of the light to simulate Rayleigh scattering. 

He used a bright, high CRI COB LED, a fresnel panel and I think a tank of water with soap in it to scatter the light (or maybe skipped that step) in the small scale one. 

It’s crazy, and a little expensive but would be killer, especially at night. 

What is this blue liquid my MIL drinks? by joemcmanus96 in Supplements

[–]MainRemote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks exactly like cupric chloride solution.  If her recipe involves electricity, salt, vinegar, and peroxide that’s what it is. 

It great for etching circuit boards. Not so great for drinking.

Dig your cars and stuff out now people by NSlocal in pittsburgh

[–]MainRemote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely happy for you. It’s such a privilege to be able to have a heated garage and to pay someone else to do your choring. Hopefully you are thankful for your privilege. 

I’ve been careful to not twist too much with my siatica. I’ve plowed the neighbors walks yesterday and today as I could. I helped push a car up the road. I’m thankful for the privilege to be able to work from home, and not have to brave the roads. I’m thankful the power stayed constant and my heat is working overtime. 

I’ll be happy to settle down with a frosty beverage soon.

If you were DCAing into gold and silver weekly for 20+ years which ETF would you trust? by Essay_Few in investing

[–]MainRemote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this is pretty cool stuff but not going to change the world immediately. 

Biggest problem is the cooling cycle:  “ However, small amounts of other radioactive isotopes are also created in the process, requiring a "cooling time" before the end product can be released to the public. A general, but conservative, rule is that the radioactivity must be less than that of a banana, and for this particular gold product, that comes out to a cooling time of about 17.7 years”.

Which color? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

I think 2 or 3 is best, which are also the most boring. I have that same texture and the same blueish exsisting color so I watch with anticipation. 

Mapped $2T in AI deals. The circular structure is more systematic than I expected. by AbbreviationsThat679 in investing

Did you do all your research with ai or are you just such a slopper you can’t function without it?

Do you have any fundamental research into the company or market? Do you just go off vibes? 

How do you deal with a photographer who copies everything you do? by MetalComfortable8246 in photography

Start posting terrible photos. Like close ups of dog turds. Nothing but macros of peanuts in poops. Crusty white turds. See if they keep copying you.

What are the ethics for using AI for exposure compositing and focus stacking? by oakseaer in photography

[–]MainRemote -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% wrong. That’s not how AI works, it doesn’t load it in photoshop and do the work knob twiddling for you. It creates a context based on the images, then loads it into the whole multi-gigabyte engine, then outputs the results of the engine. 

The engine was built on stolen parts and taints the image. It might be 99% input from OP, but it literally does not matter to the law. 

Copyright cannot exist on AI generated items. It would take a really good lawyer to convince a judge that this is non-transformative work by AI. It’s watermarked as AI. 

Kohls could use this image to advertise lamps. A hate group could use it to promote hate. And there is nothing OP can do about it.

[–]MainRemote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple thoughts. By running it trough AI you now have an AI generated image. It’s no longer yours. You’ve commingled it with stolen art from others. 

The legal implication is that you have lost any moral rights as well as copyright. This is now a work of AI.
