For sure. Especially if you’re ever planning to work at a smaller company, have any interest in showing off your own work, generally enjoy 3D… really it was a bit of a joke.

If I knew a bit more about blender specifically I would have said something like, “Good news! With the xyz fur shader even a crudely drawn grayscale map will blaj* the hell out of that shark.” ^*I also didn’t know Dutch? ;-)^

making materials/textures sucks

Don’t. In a production pipeline, that’s someone else’s job ;-)

Fine work… (lemmy.world)

Fine work you’re doing here… really hope I can hand a lend someday.

Anyone notice siri no longer recognizes common foreign idoms anymore? Either in TTS or Ask Siri… The only concrete example I have is recognizing “Croque Monsieur” since my love for hot ham sandwiches has spanned the ages… but I feel like there’s something more nefarious at work here.

It feels like used to be able to ask for a info about random foreign words and it would at least trigger a web search for something phonetically similar, which would often get me the translation I was after. But lately* the TTS engine is militantly transforming everything into English. Obviously this is more subtle and open to other interpretations, but for example I just asked her what “hikikomori” were which got interpreted as “Hickam Morty,” with top hits for the show Rick and Morty.

Not sure if I just haven’t noticed the standard disclaimer before or if it’s a new “feature” 😬

I always grab a user agent switcher right after uBlock, comes in handy… makes me feel like Hackerman ;-)

Never fails to amuse me that in order to fight to “threat” of binary explosives i.e. two liquids that explode when mixed together…

Pretty sure a Redditor coded it in a morning in response to this tweet.

“Son I’m going in for cancer surgery tomorrow. Everything will be fine… take care of your father, you know he’s basically useless on his own.”

Literally 2 days ago. Don’t worry, she’s fine.

[…]will only take a few hallucinations before no one trusts LLMs to write code or give advice

Because none of us have ever blindly pasted some code we got off google and crossed our fingers ;-)

Okay, it probably doesn’t really qualify because it’s; new, high-budget, directed by Zac Snyder, etc. But hear me out. This hot mess starts with space-nazis vs space-vikings, takes a turn through Star Wars, Oceans Eleven, space-Rome, and a few tropes that defy easy space-hyphenation.

To say the plot makes almost no sense would be generous. I’m loathed to spoil the greater arc here, but the plot does hinge on a village on the edge of space being forced to harvest grain in order to feed a passing army… there’s probably a Kurosawa reference here somewhere, but good movies just aren’t my jamb so I wouldn’t know ;-)

As I stare at the frozen credits at the end of part two and contemplate my life I have to note that there must actually have been footage cut from this movie (you’ll understand if you watch it) because they credit a Snake Wrangler!

So, if you have 4-5 hours of free time this weekend, a Netflix account you haven’t already cancelled, and are allergic to nice weather, I humbly submit, for your consideration: Rebel Moon parts I & II.

………. (All the periods I probably should have used)

The article pretty plainly says the guy was coerced into entering his password. So the headline feels a bit manipulative.

Is this a joke, hyperbole? To build on your example, what if I wanted to find out “how to disable Windows 11 update prompts” into lemmy’s search. Do you think I would get the answer I’m looking for?

I’m not saying I don’t want to be rid of google and all they do. I would pay for 10 proton mail accounts a month if just one of googles data centers spontaneously burst into flames right now!

Well I’m willing to wait a while longer… I have not tried Kagi yet, but I will as soon as I get bored with Midjourney. Hopefully someday we can collectively slip the yoke, but I suspect googles results will get a lot worse first.

Good luck, hopefully he responds well to the shots. I'm glad you noticed something was wrong early.

Oh boy... so there's this thing called a stock photo and...

What a shitshow. It sure sounds like the cops are trying to intimidate this newspaper… but the whole story sounds screwy.

Do you really get to keep your liquor license if you get a DUI? I’m not against problem drinking, doing some now… just not behind the wheel.
