I’m going to piggyback off Douglas Hofstadter and say the works of M.C Escher - things like Reptiles in particular. It’s the same idea of starting with a simple, often repetitive, theme, then developing it into more-complex versions that still have the influence of the original.
LLMs fundamentally don’t/can’t have “sanitized” or “unsanitized” content - it’s all just tokens in the end. “Prompt Injection” is even a bit too generous of a term, I think.
Sam’s work doesn’t miss - another excellent video. I always love the way he pulls in quotes and comments from around the community.
My answer to pretty much every “reading order” question is always “it’s hard to go wrong with publication order” - New Spring wasn’t published until after Crossroads of Twilight (book 10).
God I can’t wait for Prime 4
Ilse Gort is one of my favorite recent Magic artists - I have a few of her artist proofs and she’s done some great sketches for me on the backs.
My favorite part of that video is the single moment of tone-shift when she describes how a point “yeets off to fucking nowhere”
Ear hoodies are peak design.
That moveset looks buck-wild. Guess I’ll go play another few hundred hours of NecroDancer…
Neotheta is a great artist - she did a fantastic commission for me.
When Brandon Sanderson has talked about possible screen adaptations of his books, he’s started to hear people talking about an Arcane-style animated adaptation as an option they’d like. He’s mentioned that the unfortunate reality of it is that Arcane’s budget ($10 million an episode) does not match its audience - the large majority of Arcane viewers are existing League fans, and it doesn’t get the new/outside-viewer audience that a lot of producers would want to see.
Because Jennifer Hale delivered a better performance than Mark Meer as Commander Shepard
God I love this game so much. Still my favorite Supergiant game.
I played so much Wesnoth when I was young and broke
it doesn’t work on Android Auto
This may be dependent on your car/Android version? I’ve started using OsmAnd with Android Auto on my 2019 Subaru Outback and it works quite well.
My Prusa i3 Mk3 treated me quite well - it wasn’t “out of the box” printing (even accounting for the fact that I got a kit version), but once I got it dialed in, I could just keep printing without having to fix things and retune.
Most definitely not “out of the box” is a Voron 2.4, which is my current printer. It was, however, so much fun to build and get running.
Unfortunately, racism.
It’s a term from the car-modding scene. “Rice burner” was a pejorative term for badly-customized imported Japanese cars with more flashy looks than performance upgrades. It then came to just mean “heavily visually modified”, and installing such mods was called “ricing”
Satisfactory hits my perfect balance of planning/optimization and 3D building and aesthetics. And it’s still getting better!
If you play The Witness, this will permanently happen to your brain - you’ll start seeing
environmental puzzles
everywhere
The story in Alice’s Restaurant is (mostly) a true story, and Judge James Hannon was a real person who was really blind. He played himself in the movie version of Alice’s Restaurant (as did Officer Obie, under the logic that it’d better for him to make fun of himself than for someone else to do it)
