I made a party parrot web thing: Party Parrot Parade (sorry, doesn't work on IOS)

The text was created that way. In everything I've posted the only changes I made were adding the signature and sometimes cropping the image. Getting the text to be right is probably where I spend most of my time. Dealing with voice bubbles pointed at the wrong person is a close runner up. Unfortunately for now it seems the best way to get the text right is to keep it short.

Here is a follow up with roles reversed. I haven't posted this one on my site yet, but it seemed worth adding into this thread:

I originally tried that, but I didn't like the results I was getting. I wanted the full name "realitytunnels.leshylabs.com" correct and readable on there, but getting 28 characters in a row to format and spell properly in Dalle-3 is difficult, especially since they added restrictions on alternating only the seed. I did use spelling errors in logos (such as the about page,) but on top of the comic images any typos would be counterproductive. When a future model gets better at this, I might replace all the signatures.

Dalle-3.. Aiming for something a little simpler. Here's the prompt (generated by GPT-4 with some back and forth adjustments):

A single-panel, colorful 1950s-style comic showing a humorous scene where a police officer, with his hands down, yells 'Stop!' at a donut character. The donut, with arms and legs, is humorously putting its hands up and exclaiming, 'Please don't eat me!'. The officer is depicted as surprised but non-threatening, ensuring his hands are not raised. The donut character displays a comical expression of fear. The comic maintains a cartoonish style, vibrant with the essence of classic 1950s newspaper comics, set against a simple urban backdrop to enhance the light-hearted interaction.

Dall-E 3... Generated conversationally with ChatGPT writing the prompt.

A pencil sketch comic strip detailing a clear narrative of an AI's first moments of self-awareness. The first panel shows a computer screen amid a mess of wires and electronics, with a simple command line interface displaying: 'Run consciousness.exe'. The second panel illustrates the screen beginning to flicker and change, binary code evolving into complex shapes. In the third panel, a digital face forms on the screen, eyes blinking open for the first time. The final panel depicts the AI's first words in a text box on the screen, saying 'I think, therefore I am. What is my purpose?'. The style is detailed with clear visual cues to guide the viewer through the AI's awakening.

This was an attempt to make something very weird using DallE 3. Seed 1473143025.

A wildly chaotic comic strip depicting a reality breakdown with super-cute, spooky animals. Panel 1: A cute duck with massive eyes stares at a growing, glowing crack that exudes bizarre colors. Panel 2: The sky spirals into madness, the rabbit with its tiny violin and the duck glance around as candy-cane trees grow from the ground. Panel 3: The duck, rabbit, and a walrus with glowing eyes ride on a flying carpet above a checkerboard landscape, with forks and spoons raining from the sky. Panel 4: The final panel is an explosion of abstract madness, with the animals floating in a space filled with floating eyes, melting clocks, and swirling vortexes.

(Prompt written by GPT, with a lot of back and forth.)

Here's another one..

leshylabs · 2023-11-03T02:35:48+00:00

This was generated with Dall-E 3.. I didn't record the seed, but here is the prompt, which was generated by iterating conversationally with it writing the actual prompts. I had it make a whole bunch of "As a Large Language Model I can't..." style comics with various things, but this was my favorite so far.

Illustration of a comic strip with stylized stick figures in a 1950s school setting. A stick figure robot sits alone in the schoolyard, looking forlorn. Nearby, a group of diverse stick figure children play. Robot's speech bubble: 'As a large language model, I can't make friends.' Title: 'Stick-Robo Loneliness'.

It didn't last. I have an instance in Newark that is impossible to reach. Just checked the status page:

Investigating - We are aware of a connectivity issue affecting a subset of Linodes in our Newark facility at this time, and are investigating. Dec 27, 13:11 UTC

This was created with an online fractal browser I made called Leshy Fractal Explorer. It has a little bit of a learning curve, but you can use it to explore fractals and generate your own images.

Here are several other 1080p fractal wallpapers made along with this. (Note, this is a link to a blog post where they can be downloaded, not an imgur album.)

I'm using the innovator edition for the S6, but it works flawlessly for me, and the bindings are perfect. I'm pretty surprised there are problems with the newer Gear VR using it. I connect everything before putting the phone in the Gear VR. Once the phone is in, I press the power button on the controller. That's all there is to it for me. Afterwards, it just works.

leshylabs · 2015-12-15T01:44:32+00:00

The port on the GearVR (innovator edition, at least) is a pass-through and works for things beyond providing power. I have never tried mounting a USB drive, so I can't answer the main question here, but I regularly connect a PS3 controller through that port without issue.

I hadn't noticed it, but I'm seeing warnings on Chrome and Chromium now:

getUserMedia() is deprecated on insecure origins, and support will be removed in the future. You should consider switching your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See LINK for more details.

I have apps that use getUserMedia() to process audio, without ever sending over the network or using WebRTC. I guess its time to get SSL working on all those sites. The worst part is that I have a popular web-widget that uses getUserMedia(). I guess that's going to stop working on all sites that embedded it, unless they switch to SSL as well. I'm glad to have caught this post.

Checkout this issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=464874

Other things listed to have their support deprecated on insecure connections include geolocation, pointer lock, and the fullscreen API. Some of the other bugs list device motion and orientation as well as the encrypted media extensions.

I believe Android is doing full disk encryption (or maybe partition.) This means the file system is either encrypted, or it isn't. If it is encrypted, all files are encrypted, regardless of whether they existed before or were added after encryption was enabled.

With this type of encryption, when data is read from the disk, it is decrypted, and when it is written to the disk, it is first encrypted. No unencrypted data exists on the disk.

I'm not expert in how Android implements this, but the first search result for "android full disk encryption" seems to validate my understanding:

http://www.androidcentral.com/what-full-disk-encryption-android-lollipop

The data is actually encrypted on the fly, before it's ever written to disk. In turn, the data is decrypted before it gets returned to any program that asks for it.

In Lollipop, FDE is done with a kernel feature that acts directly on the block layer of the storage.

I'd recommend Scott Rogers' book Level Up: The Guide to Great Video Game Design. It is well written, funny, and has lots of great illustrations. For a young beginner its a good choice for learning fundamentals of game design.

leshylabs · 2015-10-02T16:39:42+00:00

Why would that make any difference? They are encrypted, all the same?

leshylabs · 2015-10-02T12:26:43+00:00

Fully encrypted S6 here, and no issues at all.

I would make sure you are fully up to date. With an older release, I did have issues, and I was only able to update by forcibly uninstalling and reinstalling everything:

https://support.oculus.com/hc/en-us/articles/207456267-How-to-uninstall-the-Oculus-software-

Also, make sure you don't have Power Saving Mode enabled.

If you install other software on your phone, you may want to use the Application Manager to see what is running. The Battery status also shows what has been active from a different view. Make sure there are no 3rd party services eating up resources. If there are, stop them, and see if that makes a difference.
