@JulienS97092568 @HistoryMattersX @MaxBoot joined twitter when Russian invasion started, random name, and promotes Russia’s side like its a full time job. this “veteran” is simply a ruzzian bot.

Massive Russian attacks against Ukraine.

Exclusively civilian targets and infrastructure were attacked—something Russia will, as always, deny.

The ceiling at the Lukyanivska metro station has collapsed; those seeking shelter can barely breathe.

The market in Lukyanivka is on fire as a result of the Russian attack.

In Poland, air defenses have been placed on high alert, and NATO fighter jets have scrambled—not to help, but merely to take a few photos for the family album.

Death, destruction, suffering. For over four years, Europe has done nothing but watch.

@mark_k AI made code is often pretty good, especially for grunt work type of tasks. it can build upon existing code and human can at any point intervene and make further tweaks.
visual output of AI is final result. you can’t iterate on fine details.

@kevinbparry but it’s a desert:)

@ID_AA_Carmack piano comes close to “multiple unlabeled switches” :)

gates of creation were never closed. you don’t need an art degree. you’ll still need to do quite a bit of study (also known as years of experience) to produce anything interesting.

[Ivan — VVSVS™ @_VVSVS]

AI creators are a gift to mankind.

For the first time in history,
anyone from any background
can express themselves visually, instantly,
and share their ideas with the world.

You no longer need an art degree,
years of training,
or access to expensive tools.

AI has opened the gates of creation.
It has given people the power
to explore worlds,
to shape aesthetics,
to build images that once lived only in imagination.

What once belonged to a few
now belongs to everyone.

And that, to me,
is one of the most beautiful revolutions of our time.

@JustineBateman @henningsanden @CocaCola i hate it because it looks bad, not because its made with AI. in any case, people got used to smartphone quality photos, AI slop wil also be enough for most.

@LividBuffalo9 @GrandChessTour @LevAronian @chess24com @Kasparov63 @MagnusCarlsen @chesscom @STLChessClub @ChessbaseIndia @MauriceAshley i dont see how holding on to drawish position would be considered a sportsmanlike, if you can force a draw by repetition, then you get a draw, otherwise both sides can do whatever they want. its only a clear loss that you should acknowledge and not drag the game further.

@chesscom i only ever play ponziani as white, and defend with caro-kann or benoni (based on white’s first move), and don’t know any other openings:)

@soyposmoderno maybe in the same way as a detailed sculpt is just a glorified version of a cube:)

I nominate Clair Obscur for these categories: game of the year; worst platformer of the year.

I have some big news! The technology and IP behind ngSkinTools have been acquired by Autodesk and their team is planning for native Maya integration for the future. While it’s a bit early for further details, I’m excited to share this update:

@henningsanden its all about distance to subject, lighting conditions and, most importantly, amount of post processing

[Viktoras M @viktorasm]

@Petcson @henningsanden wouldn’t two ik chains (from center of the bow to the pull point) be simplier?

[Viktoras M @viktorasm]

@FunSizedThought small note, left hand IK target is under right hand IK layer:)

[Viktoras M @viktorasm]

For some reason decided this is what I want to do on friday evening.
