I know someone who has a company with the word “technology” in the name, like “Smith Technology”. They use .technology because it’s literally the name of the company, which I think is good for the brand identity, but have run into issues where people just don’t think it’s a correct url because “smith.technology” looks like it’s missing its TLD.

Fridges actually do rest. They cycle on and off as needed to maintain their desired temperature and on average only spend about 30% to 40% of their time “on”.

Also, this is tangential to the rest of our conversation, but I appreciate the dedication to the comment chain required to actually set up something with similar composition to the red man image and take a picture of it. Even has some black in the image in roughly the same size and area as his sweater. :D

For what it’s worth I agree that AI images will generally have “tells” that give away their nature. It’s just they aren’t quite so straightforward as being able to check that average values are within a range. It would be nice if it were that easy though.

While I do dabble with AI image generation I’m not a lunatic who calls themself an “artist” for doing so, nor do I think being a “prompt engineer” is any kind of expression of creativity or skill. I think the people who do are completely self-deluded.

Odd. I tag your red at 78%. And for what it’s worth this RGB to HSV converter agrees with that number taking your colour hex as C92D20. I certainly don’t know enough about it to offer an explanation as to why it might be different.

edit: Ah, I think it’s HSV vs HSL, which I’m just now learning are different things. :D

I’m not sure what you mean by the saturation being around 50% across the board. If I peek the HSB of all of the averages only that first teal-ish one appears to be around the mid point for saturation.

I’d expect that many images are going to be somewhere near 50% grey if you average their luminance out overall. That’s just the average of every colour though. The fact that averaging a range of things tends toward a standard distribution isn’t particularly surprising. Again though, it’s not hard to get a diffusion model to generate something outside of that expectation.

Prompt: “night sky”

Image:

Average colour:

Average brightness: 21%

Prompt: “lineless image of an old man drawn in yellow ink on white background”

Image:

Average colour:

Average brightness: 90%

I’m saying it because it’s not only obvious with even a moments thought (you can literally just ask it for an entirely red image or whatever), but also because it’s easily provable.

Prompt: “Under the sea”

Image:

Average pixel colour:

Prompt: “a man with red hair wearing a red coat standing in front of a red background”

Image:

Average pixel colour:

So I ask you the same question. Did you just say that because you felt like it was true?

It is absolutely not true of all AI images. I’d be surprised if it’s even true about most AI images.

Regardless of whether the gaming market itself is growing or not you can still compare to Nvidia to see how AMD is doing within that environment. If no one was buying any GPUs Nvidia would also be showing a dip, but they’re not.

Anyone? There are lots of houses worth less than $1,000,000. Sure, by the time a mortgage is paid off and you fully own the house yourself a person should also have some savings, but I certainly wouldn’t expect that to be universal.

As in the opposite of a “disarming smile”, which is a common expression.

It’s not great.

This is my current best use for it as well. Having a unique portrait for every named NPC helps them stand out quite a bit better and the players respond much more strongly to all of them.

Our production servers are all Linux and we have a fully Linux dev stack. My request for a Linux work machine was denied and we have to work in WSL.

Funnily enough I did on a similar post a month ago.

So is oxygen

Disingenuous nonsense. It’s basically impossible to encounter a harmful concentration of oxygen in day to day life, while harmful amounts of sunlight are commonplace.

A lack of sunlight also doesn’t kill you in less than ten minutes.

Sounds way more interesting than most IT work as well. I’d definitely rather do some investigative work like this than a typical parade of password resets, email assistance, and software installations.

Yes, they were, and that highlights the problem really. Nvidia’s grip on mind share is so strong that AMD releasing cards that matched or exceeded at the top end didn’t actually matter and you still have people saying things like the comment you responded to.

It’s actually incredible how quickly the discourse shifted from ray tracing being a performance hogging gimmick and DLSS being a crutch to them suddenly being important as soon as AMD had cards that could beat Nvidia’s raster performance.

All of this came before I was asked about it.
