Unless you follow the advice of cooking the sauce for a couple of hours, after which all that will be left of the veggies will be basically fiber.

To be fair, when cooking a sauce (or stew, soup etc.), some of the nutrients will enter the sauce (vs. cooking water that will later be thrown away), but preserving nutrients / vitamins etc. while cooking still means reducing heat / cooking time.

Please don't cook vegetables to oblivion and assume this will fulfill your kids nutritional needs. Not talking about you in particular, just making sure here.

I think eventually, you're saying the same thing. If you want to shoot professionally, it makes sense to get equipment to save time and have a manner of control over reproducibility. That's also why the local metal shop gets the $200 carbide endmills vs. grinding HSS blanks by hand. I did state that already.

I'll still disagree with two things. You absolutely did say "art is expensive", and stock photography will not produce a lot of art. It can be shot artfully, sure, but that's more of a word choice and eventually rather equates to craftsmanship. I'm sure there is at least one stock photographer out there, producing art all the time. Same with any amazing shot that happens to get uploaded to a stock library not becoming any less meaningful. But that's not common and simply not how the process works, claiming anything else would be disingenuous. I'm not out to disparage the craft or the skill of anyone involved, that's a completely different topic.

Finally, I was actually absolutely thinking of the Contax 1. Now, don't adjust for inflation. Why would you do that? This camera auctions for around $200, $250 today. Did something happen in the past 86 years that now makes it impossible to shoot the same, great pictures with that camera? I don't think so. Yes, shooting has become a lot more convenient, a lot more consistent (some people would argue that's a bad thing), but surely it's not the tool then that enabled these photographs. That was my angle.

(Please let's not get hung up on the particular camera model, availability of film etc., it's an example to make a point)

It's absolutely not. You can take perfectly fine, artsy photographs with a bunch of cheap gels and Chinese import lights.

You'll be shocked to learn that people took fantastic pictures before an $8.6k M.ZUIKO lens came into existence.

Go ahead and tell me what a setup the likes of what Evans or Miller had at the time would cost today and stop putting art behind a paywall. Stock photography and repeatable product pictures are expensive, but that's not art.

Professional photographers have expensive equipment because it makes certain shots commercially feasible, not because it's impossible to create art without money.

That's a useful first approximation. I'd say pick any French video on painting with gouache and listen closely.

If you watch that and think: hey, that totally sounds like gwash, all good. Let's all remember this exists:

Can we talk about what's going on with that bedroom?

[–] scrion@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Yup, exactly that. Not only does that show they internalized using AI for the most banal tasks and think that's normal, but also just shows how tone deaf they are in a discussion about using AI to replace an employee 🤦🏽‍♂️

OP is referring to Jucika having a ball, as in, a good time, but she could also be seeing as attending a ball.

They're now asking if a similar construct exists in Hungarian, i. e. if the pun would work there, too and if it could be implied the cartoon was going for that pun with its original title.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the watermarking works. There is no hidden metadata, but most likely, the statistical properties of the generated text are being changed.

If you met someone on Halloween with a face mask, and they'd always use the word cromulent in every sentence, you'd probably assume it's your buddy Mark, who is about the only guy in your circle of friends who does that.

The model will produce a text where individual words at certain positions, or various n-grams encode a kind of fingerprint that will be an indicator for the text being processed by Claude.

Like, when people have, like, a specific accent or talk in a certain way, you can totally, like, figure out where they're from, for sure.

Sure, but none of that is special in any way. That's just what SSH does already. If you like that to happen in your editor GUI, by all means, you do you.

What I'm saying is not a single of those features is an accomplishment of vscode and you can do that with every editor you like, or even without any. I didn't want people to believe they'd need to switch to vscode to achieve any of that. That was my angle.

I can't and I'm not going to comment on the integration or the workflow, if you're the audience for those kinda things, it's probably great, give vscode a try. It's probably obvious that I am not but hey, different strokes and all.

Every editor "supports" SSH, you can mount files on a remote SSH server via SSHFS.

I don't think any context is missing here. This is addressed to the instance admins, asking for an instance - wide ban on homosexual pornography. I don't need any more context to clock this as bigotry.

I get your drift, but If I'm in a tech community and gay porn shows up just to piss off that user, so be it.

Sure. But if you apply to a 50 people outfit, there are probably no billionaires involved. Just write the email instead of fucking over some poor IT person who just created all your accounts and now has to clean everything up again, or whoever did two hours of overtime to wrap up the actual task they didn't get around to finish due to being informed about a super critical omboarding call 30 minutes before it was supposed to happen. Employees of capitalist companies are still mostly just people suffering the same as we all.

If you applied to the likes of X, or OpenAI etc., feel free to ghost those fuckers as much as you like though. Whoever still works there probably deserves no courtesy. Should also probably do some deep reflection on the application then.
