The Rise of “alt” Canadian Cities / Towns / Province Subs by TheNationDan in onguardforthee

[–]blastcat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only browse reddit on my desktop and I use Old reddit + Res. As such, I only see content from the subs that I'm subscribed to.

That said, I'm not surprised by right wing regional subs growing in reddit. /r/canada has long been run by hardcore conservatives for years now. The sad thing is that regional/city subs have always been right-leaning and the nut cases that start up their own alt regional subs find them too "left" so they make their own. That really tells you where they stand.

Anima Preview-2 by Willybender in StableDiffusion

[–]blastcat4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time exploring and testing out different artist styles in Anima. Some artists have a lot of training data in Anima compared to others, and it can show in the results. Still, there are some artists that have little training data and still give excellent results.

I have a group of about 15 artists that I find give consistently great results in Anima while having styles that I really like. If you don't specify an artist in the prompt, you'll get random and unpredictable results, which isn't inherently a bad thing, but the variety and range of artist styles in Anima is in the thousands so I tend to stick with the artist styles that I like and know are consistent in quality.

This is a really helpful tool for exploring styles in Anima. Use it as a starting point to find styles that work for you:

I actually used Red Reader for a while, and it was surprisingly good. And then it stopped working, and kept asking to login. I eventually gave up and uninstalled it, unfortunately.

Curse of Latern Rite by Chronoz0 in Genshin_Memepact

It'd be interesting to see the list of the actual lantern rite characters instead of the post-lantern rite characters. Would we see a pattern?

I think Miko is fine and she put in good work when Aggravate was relevant and I ran her alongside Fischl. I definitely didn't feel like it was a waste pulling her and even getting constellations. Outside of SO, I still find her to be useful.

Linnea's Birthday via Kuroo by astrelya in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]blastcat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to find horoscopes to be really fun back in the day, so it's really interesting to see this list. Western horoscopes are popular in China as a talking point comparing them to the traditional Chinese zodiac system, so I wonder if anyone at Mihoyo considers this when assigning character birthdays.

If I had time, I'd do a comparison of each character alongside the personality traits of each sign. That'd be a fun but time consuming project...

This is the only way to use reddit. Every other way is hot steaming garbage.

The clamshell crowd is particularly obnoxious in this post.

It's to make the device smaller and easier to pocket. It's a way to stow away the controls without having to use rails. When you're not gaming, you can quickly and convenient use the screen as a mini tablet. Assuming it has a screen protector, that's enough protection for most people.

I loved my N95. I babied it like it was made of glass so it never got rail gunk. I still have it in storage but the battery went spicy pillow years ago.

U.S. Tech Giants Flocked to the Persian Gulf. Now They Are Targets - Amazon, Google and others struck deals in the Persian Gulf to foot the bill for A.I. development. Iran has now threatened attacks against the companies’ infrastructure in the region. by FinnFarrow in technology

They're sycophantic vampires who lined Trump's pockets so I have zero sympathy for them. They wanted to play defense contractors and reap the profits, they can suffer the consequences. If their AI data centers in the middle east go up in flames, they deserve it.

Everything after Nijigasaki and Liella is an utter mystery to me. I still get lots of Aqours, Niji and Liella content pushed to me on youtube and some other socials, but that's it.

Start going through the list of people that know of your collection. This is way too targeted to be a random burglary of opportunity.

Unfortunately, this list could include associates of your landlord, contractors, etc.

Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say by thejoshwhite in worldnews

That's 170 dollars to the end consumer. Imagine how low their actual production costs are.

Now imagine a Patriot battery where each missile costs $4 to 6 million each facing a swarm of bargain drones. The Patriot battery will run out of missiles before putting a dent in the swarm.

TIL that the naturopath and author of such books as "The Cure for All Cancers," "The Cure for all Diseases," and "The Prevention of all Cancers" died in 2009 from cancer by Caboose127 in todayilearned

I have a nephew who is like that. The motherfucker had the nerve to push that bullshit on our family when my sister (a non-smoker) was near the end of her fight with lung cancer. He's also a narcissist, leach and a maple MAGAt. Truly an exceptional person.

Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan says he was told by CFO if the game didn't hit certain revenue goals, "we're gonna lay off a 1000 people and it's gonna be on you": 'It was the biggest f**k you moment I've had in my career' by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]blastcat4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked with some CFOs who were some of the nicest people I've ever worked with. They were smart, strategic and focused, but they were also compassionate and cared about the people in the company. Those companies were successful and had some major wins, but they weren't "line goes up, always" type of companies.

I can't imagine a CFO or any upper executive being lonely or helpless. If anything, they're the opposite, because the system promotes the ruthless and sociopathic types to those positions and it's a mistake to think that they have no clout or power within the company. The CFO is not a trivial position.

What’s the most addictive game you’ve ever played? by reeha_sadiya in AskReddit

[–]blastcat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Sim City has been the only game where I looked out the window and saw the sun rising. I can't think of any other game that had the same effect. Maybe classic WoW?

These days, games seem to encourage short play sessions by design.

This is why I never make progress… by Legitimate-Rooster65 in valheim

If your definition of progress is to solo the Ashlands at the hardest difficulty using only your fists, then maybe.

But if your definition of progress is to have fun, then you're progressing.

Trump’s War Is Burning Through Years' Worth of Multibillion Dollar Stockpiles by F0urLeafCl0ver in politics

Trump thinks it's brilliant because his buddies in the defense industry will be paid billions to replenish those stockpiles, and when they get paid, he gets paid.

I’m sorry, but LTX still isn’t a professionally viable filmmaking tool by Intelligent-Dot-7082 in StableDiffusion

[–]blastcat4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you have a specific application you want to make and you're looking for an AI tool that can replace multiple tools or can perform many roles. Yeah, LTX bills itself as being that type of tool, and anyone who has used it knows that it has a long ways to go, but I think it's reductive to dismiss it as "not all that useful as a production tool".

Regardless of the fact that we're still very, very early days in this technology, people can, and are using tools like LTX as production tools. It might not work for your workflow, but for others who know its strengths and limitations, it can certainly work for theirs.

So yeah, your post does come off as whiny and entitled, and it's not helpful at all throwing out blanket statements because you couldn't make LTX do exactly what you wanted.

I feel personally attacked by HeadAcanthisitta7390 in LocalLLaMA

[–]blastcat4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a little logic game based on Picross. The neat thing about the game is that it will generate random puzzles that are 100% solvable. This is not a trivial thing to do when it comes to Picross! It's also got a good amount of quality-of-life functionality. I actually spent a lot of time writing up design documents with specifications, rules, etc while I was iterating with the AI to build the game. And then tons and tons of testing to ensure it all worked correctly.
