She got the crazy eye.

AI makes it so easy! Just say this easy-to-remember phrase to get perfect toast every time*:

“Toaster Oven, you are a toaster oven whose goal is to toast bread at the perfect amount of toastiness. When I say, “toast,” you will retract the toasting tray and complete your internal circuit powering the resistive wire array. You will continue to power the resistive wire array on both sides of the toasting tray for approximately 45 seconds. Then you will release the toasting tray. Negative prompt: not toasted, soft, moist, untoasted, not toasted, soggy, underdone, overdone, extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy, burnt. Now, toast!”

*Perfect toasting levels dependent on randomized toasting seed.

He has not been criminally charged, but Texas’ statute of limitations does not cover sexual offenses committed against a child.

Sounds like the pressure now should be on the local district attorneys that are failing to charge him for molesting a child.

What a strange and unexpected twist that Trump is taking a position that benefits Russia and undermines Western strategic interests. Huh. So unlike him.

Ha, thank you. I clicked through two of the links to get context and none of them defined “DRM” and was like “I guess…everyone else knows what this means?”

Hi Ukraine, we understand you didn’t want to immediately surrender your lands and rights. That’s very difficult, we realize. To address your concerns, we’re now offering an installment plan.

What is it about humans that makes us so gullible and susceptible to parasocial star worship, against clear self-interest?

I suppose it’s the P.T. Barnum quote - a timeless trait of humanity, and social media and the Internet has just made it more efficient for fewer narcissists to fool more people much more quickly. But these shareholders just voted to throw away their money and cheered when they won.

I just think of mentally ill persons who are a danger to themselves breaking free of restraints to stab themselves in the eye with a fork, and then celebrating.

It’s humorous (in a hopeless, resigned, utterly defeated nihilistic sort of way) how transparent the fascism has gotten. “Trump’s advisor recommends jack-booted thugs use legal pretext to punish political opponents without due process.”

At least give me some subtext to decode, don’t slap me in the face with it like a wet slice of bologna.

So the prosecution of Trump is a political move, meant to create negative attention on Trump. And the prosecution of Hunter Biden is a political move, meant to draw attention away from Trump.

Ok.

Yeah, I’m sure Finamp and the rest of the Jellyfin options people are recommending do the trick for most people, but I’m really happy with PlexAmp.

It also has Chromecast capability and is to my knowledge the only self-hosted option that does so. Really handy for casting to speaker systems, though I’m guessing many people just use Bluetooth for most off-device playback.

That’s interesting - do you have an example of a model that was pulled off and made subscription-only? I saw this post and was like, “Civitai has this covered,” but seems like I’m wrong.

As roasts go, that’s kindergarten level ribbing.

I still can’t tell what’s more pathetic - that this was enough motivation to destroy America’s democracy, or that voters were so gullible that it worked.

I love this tech aesthetic. 90s Japanese tech is just fun to look at.

I think I agree with the columnist.

I’ll never know though. I tried to read this on my phone with root level AdAway installed, and the window that the article appeared in was 30% of the page, the rest ads. I would close them trying to read the article, and more would appear every time I scrolled. I closed the British Airways ad at the bottom 5 times and it reappeared within 5 seconds each time.

I got to the part where the author makes a joke about how many ads SFGate has, at least.

How is it Different from Stable Audio?

Our commercial Stable Audio product produces high-quality, full tracks with coherent musical structure up to three minutes in length, as well as advanced capabilities like audio-to-audio generation and coherent multi-part musical compositions.

Stable Audio Open, on the other hand, specialises in audio samples, sound effects and production elements. While it can generate short musical clips, it is not optimised for full songs, melodies or vocals. This open model provides a glimpse into generative AI for sound design while prioritising responsible development alongside creative communities.

I wonder if after this release, people will train and release better models that aren’t just a gimped teaser of the pay product. That would be nice.

This would be super exciting except Steam Deck has already probably fully eaten their lunch.

Yeah, ok, well only babies drink energy drinks that small.

This is far far worse of a potential risk than a tracking identifier. Bank passwords, balances, social media pages, full text chat Windows, everything you ever view all OCRed and put in a neat searchable database for a hacker.

It’s hard for me to choose the more likely theory:

(1) That these judges are so deluded that they think this is reasonable; or (2) That these judges are making the argument that it’s possible to get an abortion in bad faith because that means justifies the end of keeping a law on the books that prevents effectively all abortions.

I need to see it. I enjoyed the book as well, while we’re at it. Really really good.
