Forgot that simple trick to get maps :). But actually when I use rpg maps, it's digital and printed and in general not bought (either found online or done)
The last summer before the "brexit" I went to scotland, one of the classic hike there is going atop the Ben nevis mountain. Even though in summer it's not a complicated hike, I still bought a paper map to not be yet another tourist lost in the mist, I have a limited trust in mobile phone map in outdoor activity, especially when the weather isn't optimal.
Question was triggered as I stumbled open that map when sorting some stuff on my bookshelves.
It's not perfect, and an overly complex workflow, but after many attempts, time is running-out so here it is
Workflow
*I wanted something about the contrast between the youth finishing to party when the workers are already up, think about the Il Est 5h, Paris, s'éveille (I couldn't find english subs for the original)
I started with a naive prompt like A city at night,in an almost empty street, A young girl in clubbing clothe leave the scene at left, while an old man in work clothe walks in opposite direction at the right and got something like a couple with a huge age gap. (And for the lol, that prompt is too NSFW for bing AI)
Not what I want, so I went for inpainting, started with
A modern city, late at night, dawn is coming,in an empty street, A young girl in clubbing clothe walks away, photography in real visionXL getting the lady I was looking for
Used inpainting An old man cleans the street getting an awful old man,
To get a decent garbage man, I went into img2img with A modern city, late at night, dawn is coming,in an empty street, A young girl in clubbing clothe walks away, an old man cleans the street
I feel like I could have generate a few dozen extra images to choose, but I still want to do something this afternoon, so times runs out, let call-it a day.
As much as I find the idea great. The killer feature of TikTok is how easy it is to publish a video with filters and musics. Not sure how well a federated application can follow.
Then, there is TikTok algorithm which is a common critic of the app but is how you get a never-ending flow of content which isn't uninteresting enough for you to turn the app off
Bon anniversaire truc merdique qui marche, putain, un an. Sur reddit ce serait un changement de compte, ici, on est encore trop petit pour que ça fasse le moindre sens, on me reconnaitrait aussitôt. (Après, il est pas dit qu'à un moment je ne migre pas)
C'est cool que ça ait pris, c'est pas bien remplis, mais il y a un peu d'activité, en tout cas suffisamment pour y poster de temps en temps
AI is being used to replace a lot of jobs, but companies usually do not want to advertise that.
I would be careful with that statement.
I've been involved in some projects about "leveraging on data" to reduce maintenance costs. And a big pitfall is that you still someone to do the job. Great, now, you know that the "Primary pump" is about to break. You still need to send a tech to replace-it, and often you have to deal with a user who can't afford to turn the system off until the repair is done, and the you can't let someone work alone in the area. So you end-up having to send 2 persons asap to repair the "primary pump".
It's a bit better in term of planning/ressources than "Send 2 persons to diagnose what's going wrong, get the part and do the repair", which allows to replace engineer able to do a diagnostic by technicians able to execute a procedure (which is itself an issue as soon as you have to think out of the box). It allow to have a more dynamic "preventive maintenance planning". So somehow, it helped cutting down the maintenance costs and improve system reliability. But in the end, you still need staff to do the repair. And I let alone, all the manpower needed to collect/process the data, hardware engineer looking on how to integrate sensor in the machines, data-engineer building a data-base able to use these data, data-scientists building efficient algorithm, product maintenance expert trying to make-sense of these data and so on.
I feel like, a big chunk of the AI will be similar, with some jobs being cut down (or less qualified) while tons of new jobs will take over
Even though there is already a !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world and a !doesanybodyelse@lemm.ee This c/ is still quite small, and doesn't get saturated with questions which belong elsewhere. Somehow splitting the content over 3 communities also get them way more empty than a big active one.
We're still far from the magic reload button we have on that other website which every minutes would see tons of new post.
Yes, or have a general thread for all the "games", it's IMO, more efficient to bring some more stuff to an already active community than to have an empty community. This kind of daily threads helps keeping the c/ active
Just check the "drachenfest" (Larger larp in the word, in Germany) trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1IQO3xer-Q it's still a "mass larp" so not the most intense/immersive/strange,and tell me if it's still feel "cringe"
I really have the impression that on this side of the pond larp gets well accepted. And it offers way more way to be creative/craft than TTPRG. But i understand that if you're used to see people in Short-Tshirt fighting each other with pool noodle in a public park and calling it "LARP" you have a biased view of the scene
Sure, if you deal with customer
It's still a nice way to get someone coordinates, like who is the sales person, or the tech support tech, or the researcher.
If you go to conference/trade fairs people willstill exchange cards.
