Hmmm, what kind of resolution are we talking about? How many megapixels? Just curious.

@phil @maxleibman
I'd be interested to know what these specific tasks are.

So you're basically using the LLM on your own curated data, which IMHO, is the most useful and sensible way of doing so. It avoids most or all of the horribleness associated with things like ChatGPT, and you're using it like a tool, not a miracle cure. Good on you.

@phil @maxleibman This thread is an example of how the Tech Bros have poisoned the well. My neice, for example, is doing her PhD on using AI with drones to help outback farmers spot problems in their vast acreage. This is a legitimate and sensible use of AI. Yet all AI is now tarred with the same brush (for those who understand the tech) or hyped with the same hype (for those who do not).

Day by day by day
The days march, strut, stumble, fall
Crawl, rise up, leap, dance

This is brilliant -- a pattern which *uses* the curl of stockinette to make a toy snake which doesn't need any stuffing! Basically the body is just curled up stockinette; what I've found from the one that I started (yes, I'm doing this pattern) is that the body cross-section is like an oval, since you have two round stockinette curls side by side.

You're my friend, I know
for I smile thinking of you
because you exist

Why would you drink wine
when there's laughter to be had?
Free, with no headache.

Snowflakes are unique
as are trees, stars, fingerprints.
Snowflakes aren't special.

(Yes, I made this art piece to go with this poem.)

@ACarolaRodrigues Yeah, the videos I watched about using DPNs kept on saying that the first few rounds were *always* difficult.

My first try with DPNs! This is going to be a Lemon which I hope to turn into a stress-ball for a gift. Or maybe I will be so stressed I'll need to keep it for myself.

So, now that my #Twitter account is gone, and my #Instagram account is fallow, I'm going to have to re-do the watermark on my art, to point to Mastodon. Is there a source for the official #Mastodon logo in #SVG?

It just struck me how utterly amazing it is that I am sitting here in my home with grey gloomy skies outside, and I am looking at photographs taken by ordinary individual people from all over the entire world, posted just because they wanted to share some beauty from where they were.
Isn't that AWESOME?

@sand This is why I want to try out watercolour myself, exactly this.
It's the same kind of satisfaction I get from doing acrylic pouring fluid art.
