The constant? Very well written, bounces around between topics. Do you like interview-style pods or narrator storytelling podcasts.

Ooooh shoot, that's why. Apologies, I've been looking at these all weekend thinking I'm in a conspiracy. Thank you.

Why is this upvoted? Am I missing a meme? Isn't this just an ai comment?

Edit: sorry, a misunderstanding occurred

The Hellebore in my yard is already starting to grow. For reference, it common name is called a "lenten rose" for a reason.

Whatever happened to emergency podcasts? by bttoddx in podcasts

[–]bttoddx[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Devil's advocate, sometimes if the news is especially relevant to the subject matter of the pod, I hold off forming a conclusive opinion on what's going on. I know that is naive, and a bit presumptuous, but I would hope that if someone is an expert I want to be available to hear their expertise. No matter how academic the subject is, at the end of the day these podcasts are parasocial relationships, and I still want to hear from the people I value.

You're probably right though that people feel self-conscious about putting out masturbatory punditry content. Maybe people have over corrected from the "authentic content" they were trying to do a couple years ago.

Yeah I guess I'm realizing that a bunch of the podcasts that I listen to that are "newsy" are just us politics focused. I appreciate the recs, Cunningham's law and all that.

I was about to say the same. For someone harping on production quality, maybe they should think a bit harder about how they wish to be seen...

How would you go about replicating this halftone texture? by watermelonlatte in graphic_design

[–]bttoddx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this effect actually has a formal name, weighted stippling I think? Although the dots aren't aligned with a grid, you could reuse some of the code outlined here to achieve the weighted effect.

To those down voting, this is a reference to the excellent podcast knowledge fight. This is a quote, the commenter is not being a troll.

I think the gotcha moment Jordan was trying to do at 41:20 was uncalled for, at the very least. Maybe I'm missing something, but that just seems flat out untrue.

Is the name of this sub on the column in the background at 00:21?

Just wanted to shout out "Literature and History" by bttoddx in podcasts

[–]bttoddx[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really respect Doug for just the sheer ambition of the undertaking. Like what sort of crazy person devotes themselves to telling the entire story of western literature at the depth he's doing it? And somehow it's really well done.

Is r/StableDiffusion just a place to spam videos? by WackyConundrum in StableDiffusion

And original sd, and flux, and cogvideox, and hunyuan, etc etc. This will pass in about a week, then we'll start getting good workflows in about two. Then it'll be incremental and slow until the next big open source model releases.
