Here's something I made using AI about this. Came from a conversation I had with a Redditor couple of years ago.

I don't get the point. I agree with the text, but what do the images mean?


Nothing in particular that was just a style I'm into.


Sample

perfect tutorial is just one search away from understanding everything but understanding nothing because breadth without depth is just surface tension holding together illusion of knowledge that breaks moment you try to apply it but application requires confidence and confidence comes from experience and experience comes from doing and doing requires starting which brings us back to fundamental problem of infinite choice paralysis paralyzed by possibilities spending hours researching best way to do simple task that would take minutes if just picked any way and did it but what if there's better way what if missing crucial optimization what if code isn't clean enough for imaginary code review by developers who don't exist because project doesn't exist because still researching best practices for project type I haven't defined but definition requires decision and decision tree has infinite branches each leading to different tutorial series on youtube where someone explains their way is best way until next video autoplays explaining why that way is actually worst way and real best way is completely different approach requiring different tools and different mindset and different everything except result which is same hello world application with extra steps but those extra steps are what separate amateurs from professionals according to blog post written by someone selling course about becoming professional which I almost buy before remembering


I came across the Brahmagupta's identity mentioned here recently and thought it was pretty cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta%27s_identity

It says - Numbers of the form a^2 + n*b^2 are closed under multiplication.


It follows from matrices of the form [[a, (-n)b], [b, a]] being closed under multiplication, and taking determinants.

In more advanced language: For R a commutative ring (like say, the integers) the following function f is a ring homomorphism

  f:R[√(-n)] -> M_2(R),
  f(a + b√(-n)) = [[a, (-n)b], [b, a]]
Now take determinants.


There's a nice characterization of sums of two squares in terms of their prime factorization), namely that all primes of form 4k+3 appear with even multiplicity. From a quick look through OEIS it looks like there are similar characterizations for a^2 + n*b^2 but this is where I tap out on number theory.


I always refer to it as cringe humour too but for the reason that it makes me physically cringe seeing how they humiliate themselves in social situations - Like NO MARK PLEASE DONT DO THAT! DONT ACT ON THAT IMPULSE PLEASE! kinda thing.


If you like cringe humor, you might 'enjoy' the web tv show "2Kawaii4Comfort" on YouTube, about late teens/young adults going to an anime convention.

It's very well written, and it's the first time I've physically reacted that much to the awkwardness of fictional characters.


Ah nice thank you. This looks like something I might enjoy indeed. Cheers


Woah thank you for sharing this! Absolutely riveting list of topics.


It is one of my all time favorite podcasts

He's also a nice dude. I reached out to him on Twitter and he happily responds. I'm sure he likes hearing what people think

Weird = True generates the puffy/bloated JD Vance that's circulating around

Weird = False generates regular JD Vance

In Advance Mode you can guide generation with your own prompts. Works best with simple word combinations like Goth Pony, Vladimir Putin, Fairy muffin splat etc

Made using an ancient workflow - SDXL + IP Adapter etc



Som generations that I liked - https://imgur.com/a/VrNyx1V


I cracked myself up with a ridiculous train of thought for fun while playing Codenames once. It went a little something like this

Star => Twinkle => Twinkle Khanna => Married to Akshay Kumar => Canadian Citizen => Maple Syrup ( Leaf ? )


haha, i've been in similar situations, but this one's something else.


The screenshot appears to be from https://unit.tools Came across it recently on twitter and loved how it looked. After going through the features list, I was compelled to try it seeing how much thought and effort went into it. The site’s been offline mostly unfortunately though ;/
