I’m imagining something like a Quake rocket jump, and now I need to see it.

These images, while very intricate and pretty, are not fractals, and actually show a very interesting limitation with AI nowadays. Image generation AI tools such as Stable Diffusion or Dall-E don’t actually know the meaning of the words you’re using to prompt them, they just have a pretty good idea of what sorts of things pop up if you search for those words.
A fractal is, by mathematical definition, self-similar. You can zoom into part of the smaller detail of a fractal and find the original image, and do the same with the details in the zoomed image, and so on and so forth ad nauseum. Computers are pretty good at making these, once they’re given the rules.
What the image generation bot has given you is an image that looks like a fractal, and that’s what it’s supposed to do. In the same way that large language models like chat-GPT will be very confidently wrong about the information it tells you, and for the same reasons, image generation AI should not be used for important topics that the prompter doesn’t already have some background information about, such as generating a map of some place the prompter has never been in preparation for a road trip.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
That’s a binaural microphone, they’re commonly used for ASMR streams. She’s currently whispering into the viewers’ left ears, via the microphone’s left ear.
Any soup is cool enough to eat on a first date. If your date gives you crap about something as inconsequential as what kind of soup you’re eating, your date should be discarded at your earliest convenience, because they have shown themselves to be an opinionated twat that will bitch about things that don’t matter in the slightest.
One thing the other comments aren’t mentioning that is relevant: this wasn’t free. A second-level spell slot was expended by someone to make this happen, and since this is your first big quest, it’s likely that it was a significant resource investment because you’re a low level.
Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
when there’s not a recognised disability involved but just health issue/s (which could be “disabling”).
From the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in regards to the ADA:
Under the ADA , you have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.
Essentially, if you are disabled, you have a disability, whether recognized or not. If you are not disabled, then you do not have a disability.
Under this definition, something like asthma, which is fairly common, can be a disability when it comes to strenuous activities, but isn’t something that is immediately obvious to someone just passing on the street.
As far as it being ablist to assume that someone not showing signs of disability isn’t disabled? No, that’s silly. Not believing them if they tell you they can’t run a mile because they have asthma? Still no, that’s skepticism.
Ablism would be something like planning a company outing, and choosing the location up a tall, steep hill when other options were available, specifically because you don’t like the fact that your coworker has asthma.
No, the problem is that Santos is both the Queen of Wales and the capital of Uruguay, so there’s a level of diplomatic immunity involved.
Graphics, as in graphical fidelity, polygon count, etc. are valueless to me.
Art style is everything. I don’t care if I can see the pixels in the game, I still play the same SNES my family had 25 years ago. The game has to look good, and graphical fidelity is a tool to help achieve that, but it’s only a tool, and useless without the appropriate art direction.
It’s not.
“Hey, look at that girl/car/tree/Chihuahua” isn’t a left nod. It’s eye contact, then you look at the thing.
“Come here/go there, let’s talk” isn’t a right nod. It’s a weird neck movement where your head is kind of sideways and you’re nodding in the direction of the place you want them to go. You usually use “Hey, look at that tree” first before you try to get them to go to the tree to talk.
Can confirm up and down are correct enough, though. Up is for people you know, down is for people you don’t.
This is exactly why I usually say it means “Something’s wrong” instead of “I want something” because the cat is perfectly capable of occupying un-pillowed laps, it just chooses not to.
I suppose in that respect, it does mean “I yearn!” but I’ve taken it to mean “Something’s wrong!”, with the nuance being that he’ll want his food bowl filled even if he’s not hungry or me on the couch even if he doesn’t immediately want a lap.
My cat knows exactly what it wants when it yells at me. I just had to learn how to speak cat.
The meowing is just to get my attention. Once walk over to him, he’ll walk over to the place he wants me to go. At that point I have to figure out what he wants me to do there, but it’s usually food dish/water dish/couch for lap sitting.
Neither count thou two.
c/196 has 1 rule: if you arrive, you have to post something before you leave. People have taken to putting the word “rule” in their titles to show their compliance, but it’s not strictly necessary.
That’s not what he said. He said humans are Digimon, not Pokémon. Pokémon are Yugiohs, duh.
We’d need to find exactly where it “passes over”, which could depend on who you ask.
No, we don’t. It doesn’t matter when that is, because you and I both agree that it’s out there somewhere, and that at the point in time referenced, a non-chicken laid an egg and a chicken hatched out of it. That’s all we need out of that point, and neither of us are disputing that part of it.
If you define a chicken as hatching from a chicken egg (“every chicken must have hatched from a chicken egg”), then the egg came first. If you define a chicken egg as an egg that was laid by a chicken (“all chicken eggs must have been laid by chickens”), then the chicken came first.
Agreed. I, personally, use the broader egg definition you reference in the last paragraph, but a definition of “chicken egg” would put the whole thing to rest, and I propose this: Not every chicken egg contains a viable chicken. We all agree that these eggs are still chicken eggs when we buy them at the supermarket, though, so my proposed definition is that a chicken egg is laid by a chicken. Otherwise, we end up with unclassified eggs in our omelettes, and we can’t have that.
In such a case, we would simply need to look backward in history until we find an ancestor that doesn’t meet the chicken criteria. Fowl as a clade were separated from other bird clades before the K-T Extinction Event, and many such species before the event had teeth, which means they weren’t chickens.
I see what you’re saying, and I agree with it, but the question isn’t asking “Which egg was the first chicken egg?”, it’s asking “Did the egg come before the chicken?” Determining the exact point is a way of answering the question, but is a lot of work that isn’t strictly necessary to do so.
We can use the Theorem because we don’t care when that point actually was, the question doesn’t ask that. We just need to prove that there was such a point, and the Theorem does that.
To use that text as an analogy, we don’t care which is the first purple or blue word, we just know there is one because the gradient starts from red, passes through purple, and ends up blue, so it must have a first purple word and a first blue word.
