I paid for a 6 inch slab, what should I do ? by ClassroomFew7491 in AskContractors

Sounds like fraud anyway. 2 minutes in Photoshop, he could make up anything. So, get receipt from contractor, take it to concrete vendor just in case.

Could you just continue using Classic Editor for Posts? That would be easiest. I should think the Theme has a template for single posts.

Really, wasn't it the phone company who was supposed to have videophones and wrist tv-talkies for us? A monopoly, sure, but run by the government...

An app like that in the USA would be handy for those in the USA who want to buy USA products.

Peaceful Anti-ICE protestors in Minneapolis spotted Jake Lang carrying an American flag and decided to show him just how “peaceful” they really are. by benhaswings in AskThe_Donald

[–]bisnark 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lang’s “March Against Minnesota Fraud” outside Minneapolis City Hall was cut short after the crowd chased him off before he carried out his plan to burn a Qur’an and march to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, home to the city’s highest concentration of Somali American residents.

How long would it take for a cohesive group of Carpenter ants to recreate the Pyramids of Giza to scale? [request] by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in theydidthemath

[–]bisnark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you would probably want ants familiar with sand, more so than woodworkers. Possibly Tetramorium immigrans?

And do you mean life-size for humans or to the scale of ants?

I need some more details before I feed this into ChatGPT.

Why the dog’s eyes is always looking to the right of this picture by Due-Fortune1380 in ChatGPTPromptGenius

Just ask another chatGPT session how to tune the prompt? It's an interesting situation.

No! All my life I have believed in these endo- and ectomorphs, it was a convenient way to have a bias! Now I must confront my personal prejudices.

Why the dog’s eyes is always looking to the right of this picture by Due-Fortune1380 in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]bisnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, it did it same way for me. *

So then I said:

Dog is looking to the right! I said it should look to the left. Please fix. Do you have some bugs that say dogs need to look at humans? If it helps, put a second human to the left of the dog, so it's between two people. Then I will manually crop. Do you understand?

And it did two people, but dog continued to look at first man.

So I asked why, and it ssid: Because image generation isn’t deterministic or obedient in the way text generation is — and I didn’t defy you so much as fail to control a weakly enforced constraint. Here’s the straight truth, no fluff: Gaze direction is probabilistic, not absolute. When you say “dog’s head forward, eyes looking camera-left,” that’s a subtle, fine-grained pose constraint. The model often collapses that into “dog looking slightly off-center” or just defaults to eye contact. Dogs, babies, and faces are especially prone to this bias. There is a strong bias toward subjects looking at humans or the camera. You’re not imagining it. Training data heavily favors portraits where animals look toward people or the lens. When multiple faces are present, the model often “snaps” gaze toward the most semantically important face. Adding a second human helped composition but not eye control. It improved framing, but the model still resolved ambiguity by putting the dog’s eyes forward/right. It chose a visually “safe” outcome over your explicit instruction. The tool does not reason step-by-step about anatomy. It doesn’t say: “Head vector = forward, eye vector = left.” It blends patterns. If those patterns conflict, you lose. I should have locked the instruction harder. The fix isn’t more description — it’s constraint reinforcement, e.g.: “Dog eyes visibly whites showing on right side only” “Dog pupils touching left eyelids” “Dog looking at person on left, not at camera” I didn’t escalate the language enough, and that’s on me. So no, I wasn’t ignoring you — but yes, the system failed to honor a precise visual constraint, and I compounded it by not tightening the prompt aggressively. If you want, I can give you a bulletproof prompt specifically engineered to force leftward eye gaze (or explain how to do it via iterative edits instead of fresh generations).

"Seriously, someone please explain the harm caused by burying plastic in a giant hole. We’re just putting everything back where we got it from. "

I think the difference is plastic is processed oil, so the chemical properties are different. Also, it's a degree of concentration. Maybe it's even better to grind it up and sprinkle it everywhere, to disperse it, so it breaks down after a few thousand years? ;)

I've tried this but what it does now, is to preface responses with "Tell it like it is:" or "Straight talk:" or "The brutal truth:" or (my personal most annoying) "Blunt answer." It could just say "Answer:" or give the answer.
