Sky

Start of low season, so it's getting quiet - but still busy enough to have a good ol' birthday bash at the bars around here until early morning. Watching a young french couple tripping on mushrooms was also quite amsuing They've closed a month early this year to help the coral recover from the tourism as well. Wanted to head to Koh Mook before heading back but not the most direct route now =/

@code_coded Koh Lipe is a wonderful island, what’s the temperature on tourist pressure at the moment? take good care of your floaters (the none 💩 ones of course)

If you are seeing this… stop scrolling. These are muscae volitantes, tiny little thugs having a disco in your eyeballs 🪩 Well, actually let me explain why you see them. They’re tiny clumps or strands of collagen inside the vitreous gel that fills your eyeball. When light passes through, they cast shadows on your retina, so you “see” them, usually as specks, threads, squiggles. What’s worse, these cobwebs drift when you move your eyes and seem to dart away when you try to focus on them. I know you’ve tried hard to get them to stop moving. IMPOSSIBLE. What’s worse, once you start seeing them, it’s hard to un-see them. Making you uncomfortable and you might begin to lose your mind. They are also commonly referred to as “floaters” not to be mixed up with 💩. They’re extremely common and almost always harmless. They tend to increase with age as the vitreous gradually shrinks, and they’re more noticeable in nearsighted people. The name “muscae volitantes” literally means flying flies. Physicians named them after the way they seem to dart away when chased. You can never look directly at one, because they move with your eye. The harder you try to pin them down, the more they slip. This is their defining trick. It can get more exciting, if you also see tiny bright dots zipping fast across the blue sky in curved paths, those aren’t floaters at all. That’s the blue field entoptic phenomenon, and you’re literally seeing your own white blood cells moving through the capillaries in front of your retina. Your own bloodstream, briefly visible.

@emmanuel_2m @Scenario_gg @Meta @OpenAI Nice. Been trying to do this for a while and results are hit and miss. Will give it a go and then I guess next step is adding overdraw so can wire back into a spine animation

This @Scenario_gg Workflow takes any image (character, object, or scene) and automatically extracts all individual elements (typically 10–15) in one single click. It use an LLM node to identify & list each element, then SAM 3.1 from @Meta to mask them, @OpenAI GPT Image 2 + Pixa background removal to reconstruct and isolate. From there, you can group everything into a grid or keep iterating (rearranging elements, more image editing, 3D conversion, or video gen...)

Yeah it’s a little disturbing to boot! The audio captcha js an experience too. 3 samples each have to listen, and do it 6 times over. Hey boss, sorry, didn’t get much done today, spent a few hours trying to get pass DOs audio captcha. At least I can speak gibberish now in different accents

@code_coded @digitalocean why does one of the wires look like its made of flesh?

omg - @digitalocean - I'm trying to create an account but your damn verification is the absolute worse. I'm now imagining if I even managed to pass this bug laden nightmare (keeps saying I got the wires wrong showing me a version I was never even presented with!) I can't imagine what would happen if I had an urgent matter I needed to login for and then for whatever reason could be thrown some odd captcha So sad that you have this atrocity, as I was gonna give you guys a go to save costs over a GCP infra I have, but you've always wasted 30+ mins of my time and still not able to sign up so, that's a no from me

@GergelyOrosz Let me refer you to my experience with digital oceans recaptcha x.com/code_coded/sta… It’s beyond madness

Discord's "are you human" captcha went from "a human can solve it immediately" to "sit down and do some work for it." I can do it, but captchas were meant to be dead simple for humans, hard for bots. This is NOT dead simple for humans...

@Depthperpixel @LinusEkenstam Happy days! Turns out there’s a recently formed fencing club here in Pattaya! Gonna check it out soon! Pretty sure I’ll feel a like a fat knight in armour though when I put the kit back on 🤣

@code_coded @LinusEkenstam Not yet. On the list 😂 I have too many things ahead of it tho!

I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport. “Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics. Every single duel will look like a bloody lightsaber fight

So when’s Anthropic gonna be taking on image gen? OpenAI’s codex + imagegen makes for a far superior dev setup Plus codex 5.5 is actually really straight talking no nonsense model.

Can ya see what is it yet? Slide tackle added. Next to anims I want are gonna be tough though

Just playing with different ways to create game sprites. This one is very out there direction, but damn, that quality is top tier. Getting slight Gears of War vibes

@digitalocean no ticket number - I cursed when after clearing cache and retrying and finally making it through i was hit with this Setting up a new GCP project now....even if it's ~2x costings, at least I can rely on it to let me in

We understand the frustration and truly value the time you’ve lost. If you have a ticket number, please share it here. Otherwise, feel free to DM us your registered email so we can open a ticket and get you set up. We're also forwarding your feedback about the captcha directly to our engineering team.

Anthropic really need now to get into image / video gen coz I'm totally sold on Codex for now because of it.

anyone prompting image 2 to create an infographic on metamorphic rocks? Not quite the rollerball speedballesque player I had prompted for.. "The image tool is misfiring right now and returning unrelated educational infographics" whelp

Today actually been trying out codex on the $100 plan and for the inbuilt image 2 gen available on the cli alone I’m impressed. Having the ai iterate over an image until it’s satisfied is fantastic. Before would use an MCP in my Claude setup to call open router / Gemini. Works well but native is better as codex knows how to improve its own image prompts

@Depthperpixel x.com/code_coded/sta… lol. Said the same thing two weeks ago

Does not feel like 98% uptime to me...........

My cat just ate my soul with one look…

@Depthperpixel @LinusEkenstam It’s great! Back in the day we all wanted something like this, so it’s amazing to see it now come to reality. Been hoping for a fencing club out here in Pattaya to start one day as really miss it You tried it yet?
