I got pretty into this alt archaeology stuff and eventually had to move away from it.

I totally agree that the tepes challenge our timeline of when humans made cities and whatnot, but so much of their arguments is the perfect fit of stones or how flat stones are and saying it _must_ be done by modern tools.

I think they have left out how much you can get done from a construction standpoint when you have forced labor or no labor rules like we have had for some time now all over the world and especially in the West.

When I was first in Delhi and went to the Red Fort, I was shocked when they said they built the whole thing 100s of years ago in 9 years. Think about how long it would take us to build something like this now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Fort

So, I really want the ancient atlantis civ in the Sahara to be true, but the guy's I've seen promoting this are too removed from the scientific method to really be taken seriously.

This guy does some good debunking of a lot of the Netflix/Youtube Alt Archaeology people -- https://www.youtube.com/@miniminuteman773

> “I had two dreams about him after he died. I dont remember the first one all that well but it was about meetin him in town somewheres and he give me some money and I think I lost it. But the second one it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin through the mountains of a night. Goin through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin. Never said nothin. He just rode on past and he had this blanket wrapped around him and he had his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. About the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin on ahead and that he was fixin to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up.”

I was so hopeful for Cactus.chat built on matrix, but like all products built on the matrix protocol, you have to follow their mantra of being unusable and undiscoverable. The main page for cactus chat even quit hosting the JS file and none of the maintainers think that's a problem lol.

Still a cool comments product and I still use it on my blog.

just do :wq :wq :wq :wq etc

:P

ah the year 2000, when al gore invented the internet

That's it! I'm out! Had every pixel from the beginning but I think I'm going Iphone so at least people will quit making fun of me.

I'd vote for you

Thanks!

Wan 2.2 is a video model people have been using to do text to image recently that I think solves this problem way better than Krea in the base model. -- https://www.reddit.com/r/comfyui/comments/1mf521w/wan_22_tex...

As others have said, you can fine-tune any model with a pretty small data set of images and captions and make your generations not look like 'AI' or all look the same.

Here's one I made a while back trained on Sony HVS HD video demos from the 80s/90s -- https://civitai.com/models/896279/1990s-analog-hd-or-4k-sony...

You need the government to cajole the market to create safe and free inter bank transfer programs. We're not going to do that in the USA -- no one's buddies would get their kickbacks!

Does the government view it as 2 throats to choke and so the risk is 'worth it' or is it just a condition of gilded age II and corp and political greed and corruption?

Why did we make all those monopoly laws only to completely forget they exist or why we ever made them?

Oh hell yeah -- I had this idea but glad someone built it! Will definitely check it out

This is rad -- I loved workout lol and was sad all the videos stopped working. Thank you!

Will have to test this out and it looks like it runs on consumer hardware which is cool. I tried making a movie[1] with LTXV several months ago and had a good time but 30x faster generations sounds necessary.

Big fan of DecapCMS if you get tired of only writing from VScode or w/e.

Shameless plug for my AI blog run on Hugo -- https://reticulated.net/

definitely more burning li-ion

+1 Hugo + Papermod -- Same setup I use for my blog! (reticulated.net)

https://decapcms.org/ is a nice front end CMS admin if you're looking for one.

Trust is low corruption high and a lot of people just don't pay taxes -- historically https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-37530290

This is really great -- Thanks for making it.

Yeah, _should_ but businesses make money and not reporting and using the vulnerability in any other way is illegal, so they get to set the price as they're the only buyer. They know this.

Super writing. Very entertaining

> there's a reason wealth is also called "fortune". Because it's more about luck than anything else.

Very quotable

Ran these through some AI color/restore workflows: https://imgur.com/gallery/london-street-views-1840-set-1-Ss1...

_if_ teaching them to use a computer program for half an hour is too hard.

There's lots of stuff we'd say that about though, especially with advertising. I can totally see why 'point of purchase' advertising would be valuable for brands and retailers, but not if it doesn't add any value or convenience, like this.

I bet the data is like post purchase upsell in e-commerce, which converts pretty high.

Nah -- the schools should teach to the average student and address the average problems. I don't begrudge the school system for not catering to me when I went through it.

That depends on the number of books obviously
