    A.I. is B.S.

    I tried to make one that was vaguely pokemon theme song feeling for my dragon biz. It's very....autotuned. But I'm super impressed with how polished it is, even with the occasional ai-generated weirdness (the word "shapes" for instance).

    A.I. is B.S.

    I agree...I've listened to it a bit to see if I can get it under my skin, which is really the only way I've ever been able to play something by ear without sheet music

    A.I. is B.S.

    Just a short time ago, Rolling Stone interviewed some guys who said that AI music generation from generalized text prompts was "years away". Spoiler alert: It wasn't. I read an article about new developments, found a website typed in a general prompt, generated a song, threw that into Clipchamp...

    3d printing

    It didn't occur to me that Dave might not know what PLA was, and that maybe I didn't get cut off trying to type "plastic" or something

    3d printing

    "wood fiber impregnated pla" From Dictionary.com Though admittedly the phrasing is mine. Most places call it a wood-pla composite, or call it an "additive" or call it "infused". But it's a valid use of the word ;)

    amagurumi and other crochet stuff

    Thanks! Not really anything specific...I just kept buying Woobles. Each one showed me a slightly different technique, and then I started looking for free amigurumi patterns on the internet. There's a million of them out there :) When I was ready to get into things like double crochet, bobble...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    My step dad used to work for a chemical plant. There's lots of toxic stuff in plants and factories that get used as catalysts, intermediary ingredients, etc. No getting around that. But consumer goods, obviously, shouldn't be toxic. Things like lead paint in walls or lead in gasoline, asbestos...
