oops did I let my handle expire?

I hear it's good over here these days so I'm gonna try and hang out here sometimes again

we made a person!

hey all, say hi to @metalevelup.bsky.social

lol, my work has blocked civitai for porn, which, understandable but I guess people complained? because now they just block all *images* from civitai, which I find hilarious

celebrating death (even that of *horrible* people) is an unfollow for me make fun of them, talk about how bad they were, that's fine, but actively celebrate death and I'm out

I've been captioning images for my training set and I have *so many* left and then I realize I want to do some things differently and might need to go back and re-do a whole bunch of em and it's getting a touch discouraging

if you don't know this you ought to know. I think everyone who can ought to play with this stuff so you know what's coming

so, who wants to build Reddit-over-ATP?

my AI for making pictures of sci-fi aliens is about 150 hours into training. my poor gpu is struggling all my previous attempts looked overcooked way earlier, so I think I've got the params dialed in much better this time, but also I'm trying to cram so many different concepts in there at once

so I've got this childhood friend who I keep inviting to hang out and he says he will but then flakes on me can't figure out if he just doesn't actually want to hang out or if he's going through a rough time and reconnecting takes a lot of energy

training a stable diffusion fine tune and a bunch of my training data is tv screenshots of like star trek and farscape and the like. the problem is I'm aiming for 768x768 resolution and most of these are 400x400 or something had no idea 90s tv had such poor quality, tbh

my parents had been gifted an old grill some years ago but never used. so we took it out and cleaned it off today for some burgers and corn. many traditions are good and wholesome

love clearing out shrines in absolutely the wrong way

I asked my mom where she wanted to be in 10 years and she said "with dad" (dad died last year) when she realized she wasn't supposed to say that she changed it to "serving God and helping you kids find God" I wish she'd focus on other people where she's more likely to succeed tbh

testing if I show up in the tpot feed

"tech can't fix social problems" is such a bad take tech has solved *so many* social problems that you don't even see any more and the ones that are left are the hard ones or the new ones *created* by tech

just followed a few good mute lists and now I feel I can follow people on here more freely for a good post without needing to go through their whole post history

There are more humans in the world than seconds in your life. Just block the asshole and move on.

finally time to update visual studio apparently

just went out and gathered stuff for some potato soup. something very satisfying about just pulling up food that grows for free dame's rocket, garlic mustard, sweet root, mugwort, wood sorrel, and wild garlic

ugh, becoming aware of a fairly bad child abuse situation in my network and am not sure what to do about it. I wouldn't involve CPA except in the worst of situations, and i don't think this quite crosses that line, but I'm not close enough to directly do much

so this is a big pokeweed patch later in the year, but right now all you can see is thousands of huge garlic mustard (highly invasive) plants they've all gone to seed, so they need to be pulled soon or next year will be even worse

Hi guys! I'm willow! I love creating with all paint mediums, as well as fairy house building, and resin! Here's some of my work!

just read yesterday that staghorn sumac shoots are edible once peeled, so I had to find one to try. the account I read called them "fruity" and it's not wrong. not really sweet, but hints of banana and kiwi I think?

my sister had some pokeweed shoots growing in her yard so now I guess I'm gonna try to make poke sallet without dying

I thought gpt4 had a much larger token limit, but I don't seem to be able to enter nearly that much in chatGPT, do I need to use the API for this or something?

oops, I accidentally bought 2 copies of Ra by @qntm.org, anyone want the second one?

just remembered that I used to give the bugs I made with my creepy crawlers machine to my grandpa to use as fishing lures

FDA delenda est

I stepped on a nail and now it hurts to walk. I think this is the worst thing that's ever happened to anyone

dame's rocket starting to flower along the side of the road so I decided to see what the flowers taste like. really good! slightly peppery and sweet. perfect to snack on while walking

everyone welcome @hamnox.bsky.social!

*sigh* just unfollowed a mutual on Twitter because he wants to more effectively torture people in prisons

it's a little disconcerting the way the client just disappears anything from someone you've blocked. like if someone quote tweets them I don't see any indication of that, just looks like a normal post

I have the same feeling about bluesky rn that I had about Bitcoin like 10 years ago. a rather unjustified belief that it's going to be big. I don't intend to sleep on the feeling this time

ugh, please stop quote dunking people and reposting quote dunks? I keep needing to unfollow people who are otherwise insightful because they can't cut that shit out. giving them attention makes things worse

traumatizing a discord channel with Alf hog right now. thank you bluesky for this new memetic weapon

God damn it's soooo good

finally reading There is no Antiemetics Division by @qntm.bsky.social and just a few chapters in I can already tell I'm gonna love it

honor among thieves was *really* fun. also, Doric is hot

this season I've cooked morels for three people who didn't like mushrooms and now all of them like *some* mushrooms. just in case you are a mushroom hater, you should know they're not all the same

hey can y'all hit me with your favorite noise cancelling headphones? I'm thinking it might help with sharing my home office with @crankypants.bsky.social

I asked gpt4 to make up a holiday for tomorrow, so let it be known that May 9th is now Wacky Hat Day

one thing it seems like gpt4 is good at is magic tell it what cards you drew in. reading and it'll do a decent job of interpretation, or ask it for a ritual and it'll design one to your specifications

focusing my time and energy on what i want to see more of (job offers)
