Over the years I’ve tried many ways to sort color palettes. This is a compilation of different strategies: Hilbert curves, ΔE graphs, PCA, and TSP-style optimization: all trying to answer the same question: what is the “smoothest” order of colors? -> no clear winner: codepen.io/meodai/full/...

AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce
mzsibyl_® › •: Al Threads 3d
Tired of the Prompt Thieves in the Al art community.
Seriously, the moment a great prompt is public, someone immediately copies it, shares it, and pretends it's their own genius work.
It's not about gatekeeping, it's about
giving credit where it's due. Stop stealing and start creating! #PromptStealer 1/2OscarAl

Never do this:
Passing off someone else's work as your own.
This Grok Imagine effect with the day-to-night transition was created by me — and I'm pretty sure that person knows it.
To make things worse, their copy has more impressions than my original post.
Not coolsubscribe
@Artedeingenio
I don't know what you think, but this seems a bit unfel to me.
My original post with the Saori Kido Athena prompt has 4,000 impressions, while @dvorahfr's post with an image created with my prompt has 30,000.
As for not quoting me as the author, I'm not saying anything, because she has apologised.
I would like to understand that it was an unintentional mistake, although I think I'm well enough known around here to use a prompt of mine without knowing it's mine.
If I wasn't so well known, would there have been a rectification? I am afraid that many small accounts are stolen on a daily basis and nothing happens.
But for a copy to be more widely distributed than the original is a very bad symptom.
Without focusing on anyone, I think that some big accounts hardly create original content and just post other people's content, often without quoting the author, and that's very uncool.
Respect and honesty above all else. Let's play fair.

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

The Ubuntu font looks pretty good for low resolutions...
Screenshot of Preferences dialog on Aseprite to customize the theme font quickly showing the Ubuntu font, which looks pretty good for pixel art.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.
“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealedA photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.
Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

It's so hard to associate an issue with a PR on GitHub using this field, you cannot even paste the URL. If the original description of the PR didn't contain something like "fix #issue" it will be really hard to associate issue <-> PR
"Development" field to associate a PR to the issue.

i think if you want to get into pixel art, pixel dailies is a great way to start. make something small every day, and people will usually see it because of the PD community. when i was starting out, it was a big help to my consistency and i felt like my work was actually being seen!!
