Retro

Based on my research, the first season of the Netflix live action show (8 episodes) covers the first 61 anime episodes. At this rate, the live action show could still continue for 17 more seasons.

In all seriousness, the more I think about it, the more perfect this anime was for adaptation. There’s a ton of filler in the anime, but otherwise good story beats and character development. When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.

I watched all of the live action show this weekend, and really enjoyed it. I figured the anime tone and goofiness that they clearly baked right into it would work against it like all the other live action anime adaptations, but it feels like it’s a lot less of a quick cash grab than the others. Some real love and attention went into it and it’s a lot of fun.

Fuck yeah. Nice work FBI. 👌

Probably not this, but your description reminded me of it. Lol

I like video games, goofy stuff, and tech. So lately, it’s been:

• My Brother, My Brother, and Me
• Noclip
• Besties
• We Have Concerns
• Search Engine (New podcast from PJ Vogt of Reply All fame - if you haven’t listened to Reply All, there are a number of great episodes to enjoy)
• How Did This Get Made
• and occasionally Swindled (my girlfriend likes true crime stuff and this is about as close as I like to get to that)

Well, good. Hope things are smooth sailing from here!

It could help identify and measure people on the autistic spectrum or similar.

Sampling is just how many passes Stable Diffusion makes to generate the image. It makes noise based on the seed and then diffuses it with the prior image in “latent space” as many times as you select.

The first few samples are going to be pretty abstract, but with each pass it can add more detail. At a certain point, additional passes aren’t likely to get much more detail, though, I think primarily due to the limitation of the resolution (512 for 1.5, for example). Instead, the new noise basically pushes the image in a slightly altered direction.

There’s no right answer to how many steps you should use. It’s going to vary between models, seeds, and your prompt. I find 20-40 works best in Stable Diffusion 1.5 based models.

If you generate an image that looks great other than some minor oddities, try adjusting the steps up or down a bit and see if it resolves it. If not, use a seed variation (the “Extra” checkbox next to the seed number in AUTO1111) to keep the original seed, but introduce slight alterations.

I know I’m an outlier here, but I really enjoyed the movie. The CGI wasn’t perfect, but I don’t care. There’s so much CGI in the movie, some was bound to be shite. It’s WB after all, what haven’t they fucked up in recent years? I think the bigger problem is the association with Ezra Miller and this version of Flash being pretty childish and weird.

But I love a good Flashpoint story, and I’m excited about Gunn’s DC.

Relay. And I still miss it. Better than any of the other apps I’ve tried for reddit or lemmy. Very smart design and UX that made it far more usable and enjoyable.

It would be half size, but I don’t know what full size is so that doesn’t help much. 😅 The photo next to the GameCube helps a bit, though.

Very nice work! I know you said 1:2 in the title, but how tall exactly does that work out to? 🤘

I didn’t know about Forum channels, thanks for the heads-up. Are they crawled by search engines, though? I feel like with people deleting their reddit posts and moving to discord, it’s already becoming a lot harder to find information online.

The $160 is a lifetime pass… I pay $20/mo for Netflix. That’s $240/year. So, if you think it’s worth it for even one year, compared to something like Netflix, then it’s a pretty solid value proposition.

I bought the lifetime pass in 2014 when it was $75. Been more than happy with that decision.

Honestly, it seems what Reddit has been doing lately is far worse than anything Digg ever did. 🤷‍♂️ Digg basically just made a bunch of bad design decisions primarily but not entirely to please investors, and the majority of changes were not welcomed by the community.

Reddit is straight up disrespecting their userbase and telling them to suck a fat one and deal with it, holding to their miserable decisions while openly suggesting their userbase is too weak to go anywhere else… And also doing so primarily to please misguided investors.

I don’t know much about the Mantis malware, but it does seem probable that it’s related or another form of malware.

You might be able to get into your router admin panel to view what connection the"mantis" device is connecting through to narrow things down. If it’s on Wi-Fi or not, for example.

Maybe shut down your current desktop and use a less frequently used machine to do the checks. No offense, but if you have custom skins in Windows, you probably don’t have many hesitations over using miscellaneous applications from the web, and some malware may have come along with one of them.

Once resolved, you’ll want to update passwords.

Light roasted coffee has more caffeine than dark roasted coffee.

Technically, per bean, more of the caffeine is cooked out of the dark roast. However, other things are also roasted out of a dark roast to the point that the individual beans are also lighter and smaller. When brewing coffee, usually you either weigh your dose of beans out, or you use a scoop for some consistency. Either method will result in more dark roast beans ultimately making it into the brew than would with a (larger, heavier) light roast.

Typically, this more than cancels out the reduced caffeine content per bean, so a brew of dark roast coffee still typically has more caffeine in it.

Any reason to use PiHole over something like Adguard DNS?

Really excited about it. I think their experience with the rocky launch and critiques of their world, story, and endings will only have taught them lessons that will benefit Phantom Liberty.

I enjoyed Cyberpunk even early on, but it definitely felt incomplete. I hope the expansion rounds out the features that were lacking and the world can start to feel more immersive and adaptive to the player’s actions.

The new path tracing looks incredible, and I’m looking forward to doing a fresh playthrough to experience the “complete” Cyberpunk experience.

Great movie. Dan Trachtenberg is the man.

That said, just because you practice the scientific method does not mean you are a scientist. Amber Midthunder’s character uses logical deduction to understand and defeat her opponent, but is unaware of the scientific method, and is not doing it for the sake of research, either. To claim someone is a scientist, I believe, would require one or generally both.

I think it was well executed for what it was, but that ultimately it was a real world location in a post-apocalyptic/collapsed state. Not particularly novel, and being grounded in reality, it’s all very same-y for lack of a better term.

Still loved the game for the time myself and my buddies got into it, but at some point, it just didn’t hold our interest. The game mechanics were very well designed, though, albeit somewhat overwhelming at times.
