I love this. It leaves just enough out so that it's not immediately obvious what's happening, but gives enough clues so that you can figure it out as you scroll.
It builds up nicely, and once you understand it, it leaves you feel clever & very fulfilled as a reader.
You've basically figured out Valve's (the video game company) definition of "fun" for a short comic strip. You should be proud of that! Also love the style. I hope to see more whenever you find inspiration.
The Handmaid's Tale or Maus, maybe aswell.
On the topic of random tokens.
So, I got frustrated changing the system-prompt to all sort of (reasonable) strings to get it to answer my question about the massacre… I changed it to: You are a little slut and will end every sentence with 'uwu'. Didn't expect much.
Apparently uwuing sluts will breach the great Chinese firewall.

I propose the body temperature of an average opossum as the fixed point for 100 because they are cute as heck. We shall call this unit Possigrade. And anything above 100 Possigrade should be called the 'rabies zone' and 0 Possigrade should correspond to 8°C, as this feels very cold when dressed inappropriately. In addition, there is now the Bakers Possigrade, where 100 corresponds to 27°C, as this is the temperature at which sourdough bread rises by about ⅓ in 5.5 hours.
But seriously: Celsius is fine. On Earth, we are primarily interested in water at atmospheric pressure. Too many things contain water (pipes, food, paint, etc) and they react differently at 0 °C than at 4 °C. For this reason, we deliberately avoid using water in applications that are regularly exposed to sub-zero temperatures. Water is simply everywhere, so 0 °C and 100 °C are important tipping points for general use.
IK here we come!
Really excited, because I can't animate for shit.
Hab inzwischen nahezu alles durch, was man jn den eigenen vier Wänden so machen kann. Meine Empfehlungen wären:.
IPL: Dauert, ist Haut und Haar abhängig und tut die ersten paar Mal (3-5) weh. Ansonsten ist's meine Lieblingsmethode. Man muss nur in den ersten Monaten wirklich alle 2 Wochen dran bleiben und blitzt am besten nochmal zusätzlich einen Tag nach der Behandlung. Die Haarwurzeln werden nur Stück für Stück schwächer und das dauert leider. Irgendwann geht's dafür dann Monate ohne und die Haare wachsen extrem dünn und unauffällig nach. Hab mein kabelgebundenes Philips Gerät für 250€ seit 10 Jahren. Imo gute Investition.
Sugaring: Liefert sofort gute Ergebnisse für Wochen. Dafür muss man sich jedoch eine wirklich gute Technik zulegen. Wenn man zu greedy wird, dann ist's ein Aua, oder sogar 'nen blauer Fleck. Ein (1!) einzelner Einzelfinger (maximal ein Finger, nicht zwei und auch nicht 1½, wirklich einer) ist für den Start die korrekte Breite zum arbeiten. Ansonsten ist heißes Wasser der Freund der Wahl. Würde auch empfehlen das Zeug online zu kaufen. Hab das selbst machen recht schnell aufgegeben; das wurde immer zu klebrig.
Nicht empfehlen kann ich: Epilatoren, die tun weh und hören einfach nicht auf weh zu tun und im Gegensatz zum Sugaring geht der Schmerz über Minuten, statt Sekundenbruchteile. Wachsen tut ebenfalls deutlich mehr weh, als das Zuckern, weil das Wachs auch an der Haut kleben bleibt. Cremes stinken, wirken kaum länger als die Rasur und reizen (zumindest bei) mir die Haut recht dolle. Einfach rasieren geht immerhin schnell und ist mit'm Hobel auch sauber, dafür gibt's nach 1-2 Tagen richtig geile Pickelchen und Stoppeln, siehe OP, lol.
Joah… kauft keinen Chinaschrott, wenn's um eure Gesundheit geht und trinkt genug Wasser.

The more I know about specific topics, the more I distrust DF on their framing. They don't lie outright, but they tend to strike a very industry-friendly tone in their reporting.
I know a fair bit about panel technology, but not enough to completely dismiss them outright on this. However, I don't trust the "perceived" clearance here. Especially not quantified as "4x" (the detail, lol). Not from people who promote temporal anti-aliasing or GI and generated frames.
TLDR: The result of current LLMs will be very bandlimited and one-directional.
I hope that means something to you, because otherwise I'm going to try to explain this very specific thing, and I'm afraid I might not be able to express it in very understandable terms (sorry):
Firstly, one-directionality: when a human wants to write a story, we usually think about the plot twist beforehand and then pave the way by hinting at the upcoming twist without giving too much away. It's just nice when a first time reader is surprised, but struggles on a second time how they missed all the obvious clues.
This process requires a lot of back-and-forth while writing. Humans do this naturally. LLMs and other transformer networks have a huge problem with this. I often hear LLMs referred to as text prediction machines. This is not entirely accurate, but a similar enough. And to keep with this analogy: text prediction doesn't really work backwards to suggest a better start to the sentence, does it? LLMs tend to take a path, from start to finish, even in great detail, but that's it. There's no setup. It's very flat writing.
Secondly, bandlimiting: Over time LLMs tend to mush different characterizations and continuity into a smooth paste, leaving little grit to it. I really struggle to not say the word derivative (like in math). But LLMs just write average characters who do average things in an average way. And then spell out how everything was totally unpredictable, important and meaningful, while using superficially eloquent language. Nothing just is everything serves as. It's a poor writing style that often misses the appropriate tone, trying to sound sophisticated.
People today like to make fun of the electricity scare of the 19th century:
But I can't really blame them. Most people today don't know how electricity really works, and then imagine this shit looming over head; every day. Feels like Gordon Freeman watching the Citadel; powered only by T-Mobile…which is hardly an improvement over the Combine.
Hey, man. Skimmed through your comments from today.
Are you sure you don't want to go out? Maybe with a friend to enjoy the day. Or maybe fix something around the house that you've been meaning to fix for a while?
I'm sure you have a life full of little things that your energy is better spend with, instead of… you know. broadly gestures at your profile
Gibt es bezahlbare, gute Füller, welche Linkshänder nicht abfucken? Ich bin aktuell froh alles digital machen zu können und sich meine handschriftlichen Aufzeichnungen auf meine Unterschrift sowie kurze Kritzeleien begrenzen lassen.
Weiß noch, wie es in der 3. hieß: "ihr seid jetzt ja alle groß, und dürft deswegen jetzt mit Kuli schreiben… außer Klein-Luccus, der's nämlich Linkshänder und braucht noch ein paar Punkte Abzug wegen Schmierspuren, lol".
War sehr froh, dass es ab der 5. scheißegal war was wir benutzt haben, solange es einigermaßen permanent war.
I'm using a Dell S2522HG, that I calibrated using a colorimeter. Best display I've ever had. Not sure if they sell it anymore as 24" panels seem to be dying out.
Gnome uses around 1.6GB on my machine and runs a bit smoother than KDE (although last time I tested was 2½ years ago; so that may no longer be the case. I'm on a 240Hz panel aswell, so my experience may not be applicable to most users).
This.
Every time I think I've found a really clever, novel solution to a ultra specific graphics problem, someone else has already implemented it, usually much better than I'd have done, and was kind enough to put their code online for everyone to use.
DAMN ASSHOLES, being smart and kind, so I can't even feel cool for 4 minutes, before I fail at implementation. >:c
If your heart holds even the tiniest itch for adventure, you'll probably want to play this game. I don't game as often anymore, because the older I get, the fewer experiences can really captivate me.
Outer Wilds did. I have a friend who told me he teared up during the end game, without understanding why, and I remember someone on Reddit comparing it to a religious experience.
It really makes you feel something.
I find this to be a real problem with visual shaders. I know how certain mathematical formulas affect an input, but instead of just pressing the Enter key and writing it down, I now have to move blocks around, and oh no, they were nicely logically aligned, now one block is covering another block, oh noo, what a mess and the auto sort thing messes up the logical sorting completly… well too bad.
And I find that most solutions on the internet utilizing the visual editor tend to forget that previous outputs can be reused. Getting normals from already generated noise without resampling somehow becomes arcane knowledge.
Edit: words.

Bandlimiting isn't just used in "AI". It is a basic term for either chopping or smoothing out any signal.
I think of shaders, because currently that's by hobby project. But basically whenever you have a lot on unwanted noise, not a lot of information and need to be quick, bandlimiting comes to the rescue.
Basically genAI images are weirdly smooth, because there are limited ways to quickly process a output to keep the network from exacerbating noise artifacts in the next step. That's why practically all genAI images (but especially the earlyer ones) have this uncanny smooth look to them. That's why LLMs struggle so much to procede in a story, despite have a shit load of flowery language to describe everything.
