I have noticed the same thing.The few times I wanted to use image generatation it always failed me in exactly these aspects. I always put if off as a lack of prompting skill on my end. Once you start to keep an eye out for these inconsistencies they turn out to be very common.

While the porn industry has issue, at its core it isn't constructed to extract money from you.

Boiling Gambling down to just being "entertainment" is a bit too reductionist in my opinion.


> While the porn industry has issue, at its core it isn't constructed to extract money from you.

For what purpose do you think that industry was indirectly created for, if not to make money from people? Even if it might not have been created with that intent (although I'd still argue it was), today it surely is mainly driven and maintain with the (at least) implicit purpose of extracting money from people, that's literally why we call it an "industry" instead of just a "community".


Like others have said, any industry has the purpose of extracting money from the customers.

The original poster has not expressed this correctly, but I assume that the intention was to say that the gambling industry is different from all other industries, not because it extracts money like any other industry, but because it does not return a product or service for that money.

The porn industry is no different from any other entertainment industry and it provides a service for money.

Gambling does not really provide any service, it just exploits the hope of the gamblers that they might gain something by gambling, which at least on average, never happens.

I do not think that one can call the stimulation of this hope of gaining as entertainment. There are some gamblers for which gambling is really entertainment, i.e. they are rich and they do not seriously expect to gain anything, but the majority of the gamblers do not do this to be entertained but because of the irrational hope of gaining enough to solve all their problems.


Thank you. That is want I attempted to say.


I don't think that's the issue with gambling - all commercial activity is constructed to extract money from you.

The problem with gambling is that people often get addicted and ruin their lives due to it.

While that probably can happen with porn I think the likelihood is a couple of orders of magnitude lower.


> it isn't constructed to extract money from you

I mean yes, it is; It’s not a charity. I guess you could argue it tends to do it slower than gambling?


Does this actually relate to the code quality being observed by the agent? The readme isn't very clear on that IMO. I have some projects I'd love to try this out on, but only if I am to get an accurate representation of the LLMs suffering.



The agent is instructed to execute this Python script: https://github.com/AndrewVos/endless-toil/blob/main/plugins/...

So looks like it's mainly looking for FIXME/TODO etc comments, deep nesting, large files, broad catches, stuff like that.


I'm very open to suggestions, but currently it's a very simple scan of the code. Check the python scripts.


You could have the actual output of the agent turned into TTS using the model of your choice with TalkiTo… or listen to whatever weird sounds this makes. Seems like this is copying that viral Mac moan app. 2026 is weird.


It's generous but limited in some aspects. True 4k resolution is not supported (or at least wasn't the last time I checked). It also didn't support H.265 4:2:2 files.

I guess once you reach the level where you need to work on these types of files, it would be warranted to pay the very reasonable price for Resolve.


Damn, there really are no original ideas anymore. I have been working on essentially the exact thing that Spektrafilm is doing. I'll check that out to see how I can improve my setup.


Funny, just today I talked with a co-worker about how be both feel like we are approaching Idiocracy.

His nephew 'watered' their plants with Coke. Not quite Mountain Dew, but also not far off.


Why would he water plants with Coke? Coke doesn't have electrolytes, and that's what plants crave.


It's a liquid. It's fine. Plus it's colored, so it must be more than water. Water is transparent. What can it contain? d'uh.


But does it have e-lec-tro-lytes? That's what plants crave, you know.


Isn't this the point the OP was trying to make?


It's a quote from the movie.


Brawndo.


Ok, TIL :)


so you want us to reed furst? wat ar u dumb?


I bought some actual Brawndo back in the day. An energy drink company had licensed the brand. Did not share with my plants, having learned better from the movie.


I saw a TikTok of someone recommending to put cut roses in Sprite instead of water. Apparently it keeps them fresh much longer.


Yeah that works and I remember learning that in the 90s so it's pretty old.


A statement made from either privilige, ignorance or both.

Just because you might agree with the actions and behaviour of your current government enough, that you don't mind them being able to have a hand in your currency, doesn't mean that can't change.


Looks really cool, though I don't know if the name is conducive to business. With just the URL I would not have clicked to see that the business is about.


Ironically I only came to this HN post and clicked on the URL because of the name. At first I misunderstood the description and thought they were doing industrial-scale packaging of magical mushroom mycelium.


Yeah same, I'm kinda sad now it's only packaging.


I thought it was going to be about robot mushroom harvesting and packing, a competitor to companies like 4AG and Mycionics.


That's a URL bait!


The duality of man


I really hope they do not put the brand name on any actual products they produce. I do not want to be caught at the airport with a container in my suitcase proudly labeled Magical Mushroom (TM).


Any PR is good PR, I guess?


Years ago I ran an ecommerce site for gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. We certainly had nothing to do with illegal mushrooms, but I liberally sprinkled the word 'magic' where ever possible. Also the words 'Ann+Arbor'... It seemed to drive some traffic.


No more fighting with gifs for README files. Thanks!


To me at least it reads funny because when I think of CSS I think of the language itself and not the accompanying tools that are then running the CSS.

Saying "Markdown has a CVE" would sound equally off. I'm aware that its not actually CSS having the vulnerability but when simplified that's what it sounds like.


Funny you'd mention that, when Notepad had a CVE in it's markdown parsing recently.
