Tech bros successfully spawn something infinitely worse than Alegria.

I’m starting to realize how little people know about making art, and how little they think about the art and graphic design they see in the world.

I am oblivious to how normal people react to these sort of stuff, or why business owner decided to use slop. Are they so disconnected that they know no one who can do basic design?

It could be that they want “professional” looking art for cheap free and treated the artists so badly for so long and this kind of situation is the result. If normal people don’t care that businesses are using slop then they have even fewer reasons to care. It’s starting to feel like “the person doing this job don’t deserve to get paid” line of thinking. The Rube Goldberg machine of consequences are so long they probably feel this is completely acceptable thing to do.

I want to see how design/illustration field emerge from the ash once all this shit collapsed, if we’re still alive.

Right. I need to calm down.
Recent long research on machining messed me up good.

Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

Whatever they are doing over there, it’s not working.

I also noticed that majority of results from DDG are some random website with no relation to my query whatsoever, having bot written article picked up by some SEO trickery. e.g garbage site about cooking (doubt) having tech related article written by bot. These sites seem to have articles for everything.

Another complain is how they detect simple unit conversion (or calculator) query. DDG have converter UI and still shove garbage converter sites up my face, I don’t even know how these sites managed to have some specific “convert x unit a to y unit b” indexed. Annoying AF.

SEO is a broken game and index/crawler should change the way they do things. As it is, I see no point putting in effort to cater to good crawler anymore. Might as well block them all and go back to early 00’s style neighbor links, slap tar pit and anubis on it for good measure.

I would love some suggestion for alternative privacy respecting search engine that have some “sense” of what they are actually indexing.

In situation which I have to get someone up to speed on the code base, learn new language or framework, No. I don’t want them or myself on the receiving end of “trained him wrong, as a joke”. Not out of principle but practicality, hallucination will cost me time, time I can use to actually read the docs, or find expert and consult them.

But if you want to build something only for yourself, run a model locally and go ham. I’m not a purist.

I am quite positive that it is AI gen.

• RGB light (can be edit in)
• RAM stick contact pins look too dense to be real
• Thin CPU fan with big hub pointing down while cooler fin lay horizontal
• Weirdly large distance between CPU and RAM socket

We have “Schadenfreude”. We’re gonna need a word for physical pain caused by witnessing such stupidity.

Bro be using emperor Thompson-Ritchie era while we plebs use ISO 8601 💀

For anyone using MPV (assuming you do not have any other dynamic range compression already)
add this line to input.conf
Ctrl+= af toggle "lavfi=[loudnorm=i=-22:lra=4]" ; show-text "${af}"

This bind Ctrl+= to toggle loudnorm filter

You can set it as aggressive as you like

I’m so sick and tired of these “people” coming up with solution looking for a problem.

A cooling jacket is neat, but it’s not a new idea. Seeing behind my back is also nice but… idk, can’t you just strap LIDAR to a hard hat or something if you really need an alert? Don’t factories have curved mirrors installed just for this?

The rest of the examples in the article seems useless to be honest. I don’t even know why they have to include bulletproof clothes using kevlar like some novel concept.

I want a simple baseball cap or face mask that defeats facial recognition tech. Not shoes that tell me I walk wrong.

Discussion on Blender Artists forum. If you want extra cortisol today.

edit:
My prediction… their 2026 financial report gonna see a huge drop for small donation from individuals.

Sees profile pic and name thinking… “Is this blender bros??”
It is blender bros…

Well, if the OP really want, they can get a few courses on the high seas.
I suppose blender bros courses are made well enough and popular enough for someone to “distribute” them.

I should also mention that the first inclusion of that word and this commit with parentheses is done by different person. So, take with grain of salt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dig the history of README.md and found this

New archive snapshot is up. Should I swap the donation link to archive link?

Honest question, what’s wrong with Godot? Haven’t play anything built on it yet. Will try Dog Walk sooner or later.

That’s nice. Gonna have to channel my energy and finish the zip-line network (solo offline) so I can finally move on to west region and finish the thing.

I mean if they have difference voice for EN/JP, I will just switch the game to JP every time I visit the shelter.
