@MelodyCrystel @MadamSavvy "how many attempts of pic-generation is could take to get a reference they like" - the one time I did this, I generated 20k and manually scored 5k samples (the other 15k were filtered using a classifier trained on my scores). I still like the results but I did get a headache :p

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@Crowsky13 @MadamSavvy @kofidereVT Sure, that's why I'm paying a human for it. (e.g. my profile pic, and a few other items I'm very fond of, were the result of generating and scoring a few thousand samples to get past "I'll know it when I see it" and then commissioning with that as a ref)

@DIYKitAponia @garybasin @hecubian_devil Largely because they've been burned repeatedly by demand bubbles and there's no faith that the demand this time will be sustained. Personally I do not expect the current demand to be sustained, but if it actually is, supply and demand will take effect in the medium-run.

@dioscuri @markyeg Pretty close for a mid to low level bigtech developer. (e.g. SDE I at amazon if the stock is doing well or SDE II if the stock is doing poorly)

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@dioscuri I have a 49" super ultrawide for personal use and do all my work on a macbook without peripherals. It works fine.

@WarMonitor3 There is a crucial difference between "has committed a crime" and "on a watchlist." Or, for that matter, between "potential terrorist" and "terrorist." Many people have *potential* for many things, but people should be judged based on what they actually do.

@peanutbustr In the order that they came to mind, "basis point," "blood pressure," and "boipussy."

@johnfsymons Was scrolling through my old replies, now don't endorse this one - "While school doesn't teach skills *efficiently*, it has more than zero educational value on net and you do need to do the things for that" and "You won't always have *cheap* access to AI once the bubble bursts"

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@johnfsymons as opposed to, say, paying another human to do the work - "everyone paying someone else to do it" doesn't scale, whereas "everyone using an AI to do it" can.

@YappCat Oh hey, I recognize that trash

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@BfflWffl @wramented @dankmemesdoot Speed? Yeah, mostly (though elliptical orbits are used for some applications). Direction? Absolutely not - if you want to serve anywhere even kinda far from the equator, especially from LEO, you're going to be in an inclined orbit. And at *lots of different inclinations* overall.

@Medicfox @GunsAndRockets1 @SciGuySpace Well, yes, part of the unofficial design spec for Orion was being too heavy to launch with anything other than SLS. Lighter capsules are possible.

@KawaiitRiot Am I still eligible if I knew I was trans but was closeted at the time I joined the fandom.

@Willrandship @_sn_n The price of lithium has varied over a range of more than 10x over the past few years and is currently holding at around 3x 2020 prices.

@Floxi_1 @lispeaks_ Note that you asked it to convert 1000 km to miles, and instead it converted 1000 miles to kilometers. Correctly! But that wasn't the question.

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@EmberWickArt @KyrosMithrarin Then... what's the issue? Why ban toy guns that are clearly marked as toys?

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@PPGMacro I'm still confused by why the housing units under construction shot up and stayed wildly elevated around 2020/2021 while there was no comparably sized change in housing starts or housing completions. Just abruptly started taking longer?

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@triplchii What we should do is burn the waste in fast reactors and then build ominous spike fields with omnilingual warnings with absolutely nothing under them, just for the vibes.

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@NikolaPavkovi18 @triplchii There's an explainer doc https://t.co/wwCabhpxEJ

[Quill Durand @QuillDurand]

@triplchii Yeah, that's fair. Also, huh, I really thought it was an actual render - are the "wires" just struts? Good use of the tools at hand.
