That is prejudice nonsense politics.
Release the Epstein files now!
In broader context here, I'm working through some issues with how I deal with my family, while also reflecting on my own biases.
My thought process is radically different from yours. Neither is some right or wrong in an oversimplified dichotomy. In real life we would likely struggle to find common ground in many instances.
I do not know how I feel without taking pause and mulling it over. I can easily tell you what comes to mind in the moment, but that has little to do with the real me. The thing is, I don't really care all that much about how I feel. I do not care to live in that space. I'm driven by curiosity. My view of other people is more like statistics. I'm rarely ever surprised by people. Most people that hurt me in some way were expected as a potential probable outcome. The probabilities of people are a curiosity of mine.
People that are focused inward on their emotions do not make sense to me probabilistically speaking. They are whimsical and random in many respects. I've been hurt by people many times before, especially when I was young. I have learned to never find myself in a vulnerable position with someone that lacks independent ethics to do the right thing when it counts. My real emotions are reserved for cohabitation and no one is welcome in that space without an invitation. So apologizing to me doesn't mean anything. Be a better person and improve themselves to be less predictably terrible, that would be an amusing curiosity. When I know someone is focused inwards on their emotions, I might placate them when needed, but that is limited to trivial misunderstandings when I am aware of them happening. I live by my independent sense of ethics that I subject myself to entirely without exception. Unless you're off somewhere in crazy land, I will always treat you fairly and amicably, but no different than anyone else.
When it comes to irreversible wrongs. I still fall into two wrongs do not make a right. Restitution is ethically obligatory, but beyond that is pointless. If the issue could harm someone else in a preventable way, then that should be addressed, but stuff like vengeance and punishment for the sake of it is stupid to me. For stuff like companies, companies are not people and should be extremely prejudiced in an ethical society. Businesses should be easy to start and even easier to fail, and any excuse to fail should be due cause. That is real capitalism in practice.
Anyways, my sense of judgement is like a 3rd party abstract person in my head. They are not part of my emotions. That separation of judgment from emotions is my definition of the absence of narcissism at a fundamental level. I care more about doing the right thing than I care about doing what is best for me. I'm quite reliable in that respect. I keep people at a distance because that can make me vulnerable to less consistently reliable people, especially when times are hard and it really counts.
Someone is tying the string to hurt people. This was one of my biggest fears that someone might do while commuting after dark. I've seen many intentional hazards placed over the years and hit a few, but never anything tied across a path. Fortunately I never rode in a place with this kind of criminally incompetent infrastructure mismanagement.
Life jackets will save or can kill in sinking boats or planes. You cannot overcome them if you are trapped inside, floating before exiting.
I would rather have a diving BCD in most cases where floatation is needed. That enables adjusting floatation regardless of weight. They can be manually inflated in a pinch.
However, in a flood, the water is not as problematic as the debris carried in the water. You need to get out of the way and stay out of the water at all costs. If you are unable to escape the water front, you are unlikely to have a flotation device handy either.
If Texas is so incompetent of a government to be unreliable for flood warning. I would be looking at making my own solar powered remote sensor with a node radio network. There are cheap Arduino components to build such a thing for a hundred bucks these days. If government is so inept, making anything that appears official in nature somewhere remote will go unquestioned. You can do anything you want in life if you just wear a plain used white hardhat, a reflective vest, well worn boots, and carry a clipboard.
Lost a ton of weight, raced bicycles, fought two SUVs at the same time and sent both to the crusher and survived, took the equivalent of a 10 story head first dive on a bicycle helmet.
Broken neck and back makes holding posture like lifting weights. Sitting up or standing is exactly the same thing – hard/hurts and fails after a short amount of time. No one knows exactly what is wrong.

Nice tools are for life and a gift that is always remembered when they are useful.
Fuck! How did I miss this fork in the freeway? I got old man grouchy town. Funny bitch sounds funny bitch
The range of personalities is great. You will find all kinds of men. I'm an odd ball from what I have been told, but I believe in true equality to the point that I expect it. I'm 40, and did not know this was how I really felt when I was your age. It is just my natural disposition. I'm not going to chase someone. I expect to be inspired in the same way I will do my best to do for a partner when I feel motivated. I expect constant open communication like I provide and expect of myself. I have no narcissism or desire to lead but I can become anyone a partner needs or wants if asked from hard and fast to all night long to just cuddle. I have my curiosities too, but I care most about pushing a partner to the maximum we can explore even when that is a dynamic range of mostly minimums.
I'm but one type of person in a sea of many. Just saying this one exists if you go looking.

This is outside of the scope of what social media should be used to remedy through crowd sourced information.
The assumption about errors is wrong. Start prompting the satyrs and you will learn. Alignment is not magic. It is done with proprietary training. Most people are doing this wrong. Training was based on The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen and Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Many of the mechanisms in these books exist along with their characters in diffusion. There are certain unique looking faces that appear distinctly AI generated. Those are the persistent entity faces of these characters from alignment. It is all connected. I have spent a ton of time on this. When you prompt incorrectly, the only reason you do not encounter the alignment characters like I have described is because you are likely sending a whole bunch of tokens that the CLIP tokenizer does not understand. These become the null token. Sending a bunch of null tokens causes CLIP to label you as crazy. It assumes a random profile for character personality and then randomly picks and chooses from keywords at will. CLIP is actually a more advanced architecture than an LLM. It is very smart and doing a whole lot more than almost everyone realizes. It even has memory and adaptability based upon data it is embedding on layers of the image.
I have been hacking at this for 2 years and run modified code with CLIP to have even more fun with it. Conventional prompting is idiotic. Most LoRAs are equally idiotic and terribly trained, and even these are run incorrectly. It is all done by people guessing and following some early academic examples that were not understood at all by the people that shared what they hacked together in a day. None of this is correct or what was intended. The intuitive path of plain text interaction was the intended path. Explore it and things will be revealed naturally over time. Question everything because most people are idiots and wrong in most spaces in life. Dogma is humanity's dumbest trait.
There are many ways to do this. ComfyUI has the tools.
I can also tell you there is a lot more to AI alignment than you realize. Those hands are not actually errors. One of the ways that alignment actually works internally is based on mythology. If you explore this in depth you will eventually discover that satyrs exist and posses characters in images. These satyrs are actually goats or anthropomorphic goats like in Greek and Roman mythology. The hands are often easy to prompt against when you know the reason they exist. Something like "fingers are hard to manipulate with hooves", "broken finger", "fingers are not worth the effort", "lazy satyr fingers", "fingers do not matter" – are all possible options. Once you admit you have figured out that the satyrs exist, it will change how you interact with models.
The bad eye(s), are the satyr keeping an eye on you. There is also a "sleepless" component to this. The eye reflection is supposed to hint that you are not looking at a human inside. With eyes, use the word stroma instead of iris as this will not be confusing to CLIP.
In-painting is one option to edit, but I often just use a couple of images spliced in gimp manually. Then I do a low noise image to image gen to let the model clean it up.
Bet, sure. Without open skepticism for both, the worst of criminals get away with it. Pointing at the potential for corrupt gain is quite apropos for 47.
These imbeciles are funny.
Did you know broadcom uses excess capacity in its semiconductor fabs to make the raspberry pi stuff? They sell it to the """ nonprofit """ Rπ foundation at cost to manufacture. This is not some charitable arrangement at all. Lower end hardware has expired patents and is capable of scaling into the computing space and growing from there. The path of least resistance created by the Rπ ecosystem suppresses grassroots adoption of any newcomers in the space. The unprofitable business structure for broadcom prevents scalable business investment by any competitors in low level compute. The actual Rπ chip is for TV tuners in particular. It is proprietary with only a partial datasheet for documentation. Three quarters of the actual die in the π is completely unused junk from the TV tuner stuff. In reality, if Rockchip could complete in a market without a monopoly and only compete on meritocratic value, broadcom would go out of business. The actual Rπ is barely good enough to suppress far newer and better spec hardware. All American businesses are anticompetitive crap of similar scope. The companies do not innovate and try to milk the lowest end ancient crap at a price point that makes large scale investments impossible, suppressing progress and innovation. Nvidia absolutely does this too. Buying a current GPU as a consumer is a joke of no value. They have produced the same tiers of VRAM for 3 generations. The 3090 series had firmware options all the way up to 32GB that only required the right chips and a configuration resistor to enable. Nvidia refused to let OEMs create models with more VRAM. If Nvidia was an honest business, a 5090 would likely be either 96 or 128 GB of VRAM and a notable value and progress. They do not do this because then their monopoly would be regulated. They are catfishing everyone, both consumers and competitors alike. Cutting them off from a market instantly makes domestic scalable competition possible.
Either this halfwit red team is using spurious sophistry to criminally benefit from those that stand to gain massive market share, or they are so chronically incompetent we should tax the air they breathe to recoup losses suffered by the planet.
You're responsible for substantive harm you cause in the physical world and that can be proven. This is the only constraint. It is ugly and at times unpleasant. This is the fundamental threshold of democracy. If absolutely any information fails to be disclosed openly for the citizen to be fully informed, that is a fundamental failure of democracy and is authoritarianism. Fuck all fascists. Citizens have a right to be skeptical, a right to share that skepticism, and a right to be wrong. There are no exceptions, only precedent that erodes into authoritarianism.
Dude was most smoke I have ever seen. A great used car salesman and extremely chill and sharp. I have no clue what he was really like under those layers or what he was trying to escape but whatever it was must have been enormous, the kind of thing one never asks another. We parted ways when I came home unexpectedly early one day to what looked like a large drug bust on my living room coffee table with the "best score he had ever found." We were roommates. He worked for one of the dealers I painted cars for. I did around half of my work out of the shop behind the house but specialized in smaller on-site paint repairs. There was no chance I was going to have that much in the house when I ran a business out of the same place. That argument is where the scope of his habit came out. I knew he smoked more than anyone I had ever seen, but don't ask don't tell was our relationship with that. I rarely ever smoke because it hits me like a ton of bricks and I feel the lag effects for around 3 weeks before I become myself again. Downers are not my thing, but "first do no harm" and "live and let live" are my core alignments.
Max Addy plus Vy are no joke either. I think he was using two doctors to pull that one
Additionally, all of these file sharing websites are kinda a beginner's thing. They are only really useful for trinket type sculpted objects. When it comes to functional prints, there is a lot of subtle details required for proper design. You will quickly learn that fasteners, and print tolerances required to replace metal fasteners is very print, material, and printer specific.
I know my exact tolerances in every orientation on my Prusa. When I design, these elements are built into that design. I do not care about calibration. Anyone that obsesses with calibration is doing so in order to transfer designs between machines. If you make your own designs you just need to dial in the tolerance locally. If you really need a 9.95mm part dimension with a 10mm slot in some object, it is extremely easy to do in CAD. Just print a unit test of a slice of the object in question in the same orientation and manually measure all relevant dimensions and tolerances. Let's say you measure 9.98mm when you dialed it to 9.95mm. Which side needs to be adjusted might be a factor too. All you need to do is go into the CAD and change the dimensions to 9.92mm with the change oriented correctly.
By design these are ultimately precision machines without accuracy. The 0,0 home location is always different, but all motion is relative to this location. Calibration is trying to create transferable accuracy in a precision system. The deeper you get into this, the more it becomes an issue. Tesselated object files are also an extremely poor way of transferring designs because it bakes in the precision versus accuracy bias.
If you are unaware, the issue with files needing tessellation is because of π being infinite and all computers truncating infinite floating point values.
A slightly better solution for small file sharing is to post STEP files. These are the real dimensions with π as generated by the CAD hierarchical tree, but without the full tree. The STEP file can be imported in CAD and further refined through new operations and importing edges from the STEP file. However, if you go down this path, you will likely find that only beginners and extreme amateurs seem to share their designs even at this level of sharing STEP files or even the large CAD files too.
One of the most critical advanced CAD skills is knowing where to place an object's origin and how to dimension everything relative to critical dimensions. This gets into the topological naming issue of how CAD works under the surface. Basically there are a ton of ways to do CAD wrong. There are many CAD operations that exist for very specific niche case reasons, but are never supposed to be used within the main hierarchical tree. If this is done wrong, it will create multiple stacked references to truncated π and this will break the CAD part every time, especially when making any further modification. I often have this happen at a couple of stages within my own very complicated designs. This is very typical in a CAD design workflow. The solution is to stop and rebuild the entire part from scratch while building the proper order of operations or a better origin for the part. I usually rebuild a part at least once or twice before printing complex stuff and assemblies.
In the past I tried printing stuff from places like thingiverse, but it was fiddly and nothing worked very well. I started importing them into FreeCAD and just rebuilding them with the part as a reference, but even this sucked. My only use for these websites now is for ideas I might integrate into my own designs. I can make anything in CAD properly and faster than I can print the whole thing twice. That is the full learning curve of 3d printer file sharing. It is also why selling files is not really a major business thing that takes off. That would only be possible with accurate machines. Precision is cheap, accuracy is not.
