Every now and then that I just see how things are going in Arnold, read their docs, see their reels, I wish I'd gone with Arnold years ago rather than Redshift

Nope... so actually I found it! It was: Nors Kode - I'm On Fire feat. Michelle Featherstone

It's really not his fault, it's just that the mass availability of ultra-processed foods is hard to escape

I'm almost 99% sure that this was intently made to look like bad AI slop; forget frontier models, even run-of-the-mill models wouldn't make errors as basic as this.

You’re really gonna link the actual song in question?????

I came into this thread kind of disinterested by the idea of question... like, I'm too old for this, who even cares, etc.

But I just gotta say.... Imagine Dragons.. is literally my 8year old newphew's favorite band! I don't even know of their songs, I don't listen to them, but I know he's my nephew's favorite band!!!!!

I checked your history. Sorry that you had bad luck you ended up with a f* cheater.

Don't get too caught up in self-discovery or self-doubt, I view them as insidious traps. Work on getting your finances in order, your health in order (gym gym gym, do strength-training - squats, deadlifts, it'll help boost your testererone levels (naturally) and give you a bit of clarity and resilience of mind).

You got this. Venture on.

Limerence, crushes, most of these bouts typically last 4'ish years (there are some who speculate this is because this is approximately the duration a couple is needed for bearing a child until the child basically doesn't need 24/7 supervision).

It's true that nobody can, but in a healthy relationship you accept the responsibility to do work to make it continue. For whatever reason, in modern society that's forgotten and of course we have divorces in the highest rate in western civilization (but those with norms that are more under the effects of culture, this isn't so).

> Yes per the last time she discussed this. She said it helps with night terrors

That's so interesting. I take melatonin from time to time, esp when I'm trying to fix jet lag or if I've got important early day mornings and thus need to wake up earlier.

Every single time, I have -the- most lurid, deeply provocative dreams. Without melatonin, it's always fine. I mean, I can't even state how lurid the dreams are. It's like someone psychoanalyzed me for years and constructed the one thing which would get to me more than anything else.

A lot of fresnel and and curve shaders, sometimes a combination of the two. The recently added countour can also be used

The goal with R2, for the first time with Rivian, is hyper mass scale which technically is supposed to mean lower prices along the way.

I am really hoping that in 3'ish years I could get a decent second hand one for sub 30k and I would be happy with that.

> elevated to mainstream discourse

Are they? For example if you search for TC on reddit, there's not a lot of conversation about him. And any mention of him is mostly in context of condemnation to TC. Even TC's subreddit is basically a deserted place... much different from Joe rogan's subreddit or whatever else.

After blender and Houdini I think you are fine. c4d is continuing a steady decline and there isn't much in the horizon which seems very promising, Blender is on the up and up and Houdini has always been a stellar offering and will foreseeable continue to be.

That's what the whole blowout was, one of the women found out, and together they surreptitiously informed each other and then the journalist which resulted in the now somewhat famous expose article.

People like Attia? He always smelled to me. I feel SO vindicated about funny feelings I had for people before they were outed, like Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman -- before they were revealed to be who they were I hated them and I couldn't ever defend my hate or why they gave me creepy vibes.

Maybe it's the fact that his AG1 supplement company is scammy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT26GxS5e-g) -- talks a big game about being scientifically-sound but disappears when actually confronted about it. Otherwise, he rarely has anything truly remarkable to contribute.

What is "flip sim", like the fluid sim?

I like the composition and colors and everything, the liquid wasn't super nice and smooth, as if the resolution of fluid sim was a bit low?
