It is hard to sit down and start, so I usually trick myself with: 'I will just draw one line today and the rest can follow tomorrow'. Once you get going is always more than one line (I'm an amateur Blender user, so 2 lines are already a polygon). This stuck with me (volume, not 'quality'); https://www.blenderguru.com/articles/7-habits-highly-effecti... p.s. And after N lines * N completed pictures you will automagically know what you want. In my case certain image will form (or an idea) - this could take days/weeks, this are usually small and stupid, but that doesn't prevent me from realization (or at least an attempt) - it's all just for /me.

Some 'latest' books I actually enjoyed:

Based on a True Story: (Not) A Memoir (Norm Macdonald - 2016) - Humor

Deadlines Don’t Care if Janet Doesn’t Like Her Photo (David Thorne - 2021) - Humor (And other books by David Thorne)

The Man from the Future: The Visionary Life of John von Neumann (Ananyo Bhattacharya - 2022) - Documentary

Memory Machines - The Evolution of Hypertext (Belinda Barnet) - Kinda about how the web was born and about interesting dead branches

Simple Sabotage Field Manual - really funny https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

There's no 'O' in octopus [prompt]

That statement is correct. OCTOPUS does not contain the letter 'O'. [response]

A wordpress example from some time ago: Don't have user named 'admin' + plugin that generated random 'login.php reroute' and some more that I can' remember now. Good example of obscurity on extremely popular software (at the time)? I'd imagine it would certainly bounce lots of hacking scripts.

All I can say is: very very nice (Testing on some 3d renders and some bw photos). p.s. Is output image width limited to 1920px?

When on windows: Total Commander.

The art world?

So we are just fine with 'empty' aesthetics? (that is disruptive) So the new definition of art would be: 'a human/ai product of any kind, be it remix or whatever you can sell as art'.

Is it made by an ai? Or is a fusion of stuff it found online? If 2nd, then is the piece produced anything else than forgery? (No idea personally, but I do like the disruptive element of it all).

Well, I uploaded 12 jpegs representing a short video cut that I'am working in and after quite some clicking and trying then to get the LUTs out, I was told I need to upgrade my free plan, 20 minutes lost, but learned something new I guess.

Rapid chess championships (live and recordings) https://www.youtube.com/c/chesscomlive (Games are short (10+2 > 3+2 > 1+1 ), so a lot of fun to watch and try to guess the moves). p.s. I 'am in no way affiliated with the organizations behind this events.

Kvas means yeast, could be also a drink name.

> It seems that this scheme requires perfectly clean input images. It doesn't, the base encode comes out superclean/stable (from my limited tests). The problem is glacial encoding speed which makes this thing not so interesting for home use. Anyway the final result with synthetic grain is wonderful for the bitrate used (I was testing 2 - 4 MBps for HD).

I've 'ported' 3x3 and fakoo fonts to figlet/toilet format some time ago https://brontosaurusrex.github.io/2021/05/18/3x3-typeface/
