I overpressure myself, as if I was constipated, each time I get cravings. I basically make my body as uncomfortable as I can so it learns that cravings=pain.

In the past, I've used hand rolled tobacco to ween myself off. It's a lot harder to just grab a smoke when driving for instance. But cold turkey is best. I usually wait until I get sick before starting stopping since it tends to skip the nasty craving in the first few days. After a week or two, it gets much easier.

Remember, having a smoke every now and then will work until it doesn't.

It's better to keep private companies in charge of environmental regulations and worker protection, they will self-regulate.

God knows they won't mouth fuck us the moment they have a monopoly at least.

You can add Gaben to that list. Steam can do no wrong even though Gaben spend between 75 and 100 million per year on maintenance for his yatch fleet.

Billionaire simps disgust me.

Every country subsidized their auto industry, it's just that all the benefit goes directly to ceos except in china apparently.

Ford received 9 billion in June.

 

On Friday, TriStar Pictures released Here, a $50 million Robert Zemeckis-directed film that used real time generative AI face transformation techniques to portray actors Tom Hanks and Robin Wright across a 60-year span, marking one of Hollywood's first full-length features built around AI-powered visual effects.

Metaphysic developed the facial modification system by training custom machine-learning models on frames of Hanks' and Wright's previous films. This included a large dataset of facial movements, skin textures, and appearances under varied lighting conditions and camera angles. The resulting models can generate instant face transformations without the months of manual post-production work traditional CGI requires.

You couldn't have made this movie three years ago," Zemeckis told The New York Times in a detailed feature about the film. Traditional visual effects for this level of face modification would reportedly require hundreds of artists and a substantially larger budget closer to standard Marvel movie costs

Meanwhile, as we saw with the SAG-AFTRA union strike last year, Hollywood studios and unions continue to hotly debate AI's role in filmmaking. While the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild secured some AI limitations in recent contracts, many industry veterans see the technology as inevitable. "Everyone's nervous," Susan Sprung, CEO of the Producers Guild of America, told The New York Times. "And yet no one's quite sure what to be nervous about."

I'm not sure what the best course of action is but it is worrying behavior. Those are the biggest news communities. There are also two people who are moderators on both instance, if you were banned from both by the same person, that is quite problematic.

Hard to say, I would start with a macropad. There are a lot of project out there so you can browse around until you find something you like.

Here is a recent one: https://hackaday.com/2024/10/21/zero-to-custom-macropad-in-37-easy-steps/

It requires quite a bit of skills and tools, although jlcpcb can solder on the components for you so you can focus on only designing if you wish.

I would use Kicad to make the schematic and pcb, and Fusion 360 for any 3d modeling. Fusion has a free non commercial version, you just have to find it. They kind of hide it on their main website.

I like phils lab on YouTube for pcb design stuff but he isn't exactly beginner friendly and mainly focuses on audio related things.

You can pop it yourself, you just need something sharp enough.

Lemmy let's them respond to you even when blocked. Kind of funny to block someone for harassment and still see a comment removed pop up behind one of my comments a few hours later.

I find it fair in a way, I just wish it hid it from me completely since curiosity usually gets the best out of me. I've only had to block one person this whole time anyways, so it's really not the end of the world either.

If you cant find one, making your own keyboard isn't too difficult. It's a great hobby project and there's a lot of ressources online to build one.

Its completely unacceptable from a presidential candidate.

 

The first story in this collection is my favorite and the one I wanted to share. It's sci-fi and the book is offered for free from their website which is honestly quite cool. You can also find a link to a free audio version of each of the stories, as well as the paid Kindle version or paperback.

Tell us where you are going so I can live vicariously through you while I stare at the snow.

 

Beautiful piece imo. There's a higher res version on their site.
