Why? Automod is just a tool, the issues people have with it is how overzealous the mods using it are. If you’re moderating a community with 10,000+ people you can’t expect to filter and manage everything yourself, so a bot scheduling posts and filtering potential spam/low effort content is necessary.

This hits too close to home.

“Merge pull request #8 from [branch name]”

Not the most exciting but hey, someone has to do it.

A mod launcher is a program that lets you set up and configure mods for a game, then launch the game with everything set up for you. They exist because configuring everything yourself can be a real pain.

Good read, and I think you might want to look at OnlyOffice. It’s open source and while it is kindof a shameless Microsoft Office clone, it does seem to support LaTeX when adding equations. Not sure how well it works as I don’t use it though. The slides app is pretty decent, the only bone I have to pick with it is that there aren’t many animation types and most of them are very basic. Otherwise, might be what you’re looking for.

Edit: I just tried it and it seems to work pretty well. Select LaTeX, type your equation, then select professional in the dropdown menu and it’ll show the equation.

I’ve reached a point where I avoid these types of updates. An update post like that either means nothing important changed or they’re up to something.

A while ago I saw that style of patch notes, updated an app, and suddenly I can’t use it anymore because it got limited to a maximum of 2 devices. Another time I updated an app putting a harmless “we improved the user experience” message, they put dark mode behind a paywall. This isn’t counting the number of times an app got redesigned to make the user experience worse for no reason. Maybe they wanted to justify hiring 5 UI/UX interns in that quarter or something.

The patch notes look harmless, but my god, they are usually up to something.

• git pull

• git add *

• git commit -m “Some stuff”

• git push

And occasionally when you mess up

• git reflog

• git reset HEAD@{n} (where n is where you wanna roll back to)

And occasionally if you mess up so hard you give up

• git reset --hard origin/main

And there you go. You are now a master at using git. Try not to mess up.

FWIW not everyone using source control is a programmer. I’ve seen artists in game dev using GUI tools to pull new changes and push their assets.

Oh nice, do you have a link for where it was posted?

Technically you’re right but the thing about AI image generators is that they make it really easy to mass-produce results. Each one I used in the survey took me only a few minutes, if that. Some images like the cat ones came out great in the first try. If someone wants to curate AI images, it takes little effort.

God DAMN it

Are there any statistically significant differences between the different generators?

Every image was created by DALL-E 3 except for one. I honestly got lazy so there isn’t much data there. I would say DALL-E is much better in creating stylistic art but Midjourney is better at realism.

Someone asked for the raw dataset in the other thread, here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

Have at it.

I feel for you. A few people said the human art I put in the survey were lackluster but I thought they were pretty good, not everyone is an S-tier artist.

77% of people guessed this was AI generated, and a friend of mine kept saying it was weird and inconsistent so “I doubt a real artist would put random food in the back”

It’s actually a cropped image of https://www.deviantart.com/tsaoshin/art/Strawberry-Taiyaki-Cat-905271835 . I wouldn’t want to be an artist right now.

No, the AI didn’t try to copy the other art that was included. I also don’t train the model myself, I just tell it to create an image similar to another one. For example the fourth picture I told it to create a rough sketch of a person sitting on a bench using an ink pen, then I went online and looked for a human-made one that’s of a similar style.

Done, column B in the second sheet contains the answers (Yes are AI generated, No aren’t)

Absolutely horrifying, thanks

No idea, but I would assume most results are from here since Lemmy is where I got the most attention and feedback.

I would say so, but the sample size isn’t big enough to be sure of it.

Sure, but keep in mind this is a casual survey. Don’t take the results too seriously. Have fun: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

Do give some credit if you can.
