Yes, good points. Hallucination is common. LLM’s have a bias towards hallucination and taking shortcuts. Part of why I always try to err on the side of simple queries, as well as ask for sources on anything that looks promising.

Also, different LLM’s and different flavors of LLM’s can fetch considerably different results. Google’s built-in Gemini is still hilariously bad at times. Personally I usually use GPT, partly because it lets me program it in ways that stay global between sessions. Very helpful for getting it to stay on point and sober with the facts.

It’s not unlike curating one’s FV or Reddit feed-- you have to put in the work over time setting it up to best answer your particular needs.

This kind of thing is just about my most frequent use-case in GPT. I find it generally very good for crafting complex searches, and it can go in steps, offering to search various types of archives as you direct it and redirect it.

The great thing is that you don’t have to fish around for just the right words, as with traditional search engines. Just explain in plain language, and away it goes.

EDIT: Rock on with the paranoid, anti-AI downvotes! 🙃

I was thinking about buying the game, but that kind of RPG has kinda aged out for me.

I might still do, just to support his general work.

Looks perfectly fine IMO, but culturally I think there’s a sense that opaque green liquids are on the wild side. Green slime, radioactive mixes. You know. Anyway, thanks for the link; looks pretty tasty!

I’ve heard some of the others are way more noticeable, like definitely vinegar.

Sounds good. Yeah, vinegar and lemon. Too obvious. IIRC I used nigari (magnesium chloride).

Yes, I’m on the PieFed / Lemmy side, and only see the pot full of green gloop. Is there a direct link to see the rest?

Btw, I tried to make tofu once, but wasn’t happy with the aftertaste of the coagulant I used. What did you use in your case?

Yeap. The whole idea about China & The USSR being “communist” was pretty much a fraud since early in the game, and yet that misconception is like the gift that keeps on giving for right-wingers in the 20th century and beyond.

The Right has truly mastered cherry-picking their fruit over the years, ensuring that “1984” will be an inevitability, not a warning.

The author’s been giving his characters crazy haircuts since ~day one.

Mssr Chef des Rongeurs,
You’ve anticipated things.

Well done! :D

Might the bleaching and reconstituting-process of paper fibres play a role? And then, common industry standards and checks?

(not saying you’re wrong)

Oh boy, do I miss aji and aji sauces.

Spiders are bros.

And house centipedes!

Also, I’m surprised to see an actually decent Garfield strip. (usually they put me to sleep)

I’ll echo Sillage, for sure, although I personally don’t consider it primarily young-adult fare. In fact some of the themes are quite heavy, and although overall it’s fun and upbeat in tone, individual events can be rather heartbreaking and/or deeply discouraging, and death is a fairly regular occurrence.

@beatl@pawb.social, I’d be curious to know which tomes you’ve read. There actually is a separate Nävis series that’s indeed pitched for kids, but it’s a spinoff.

Also worth checking out would be Yoko Tsuno and Orbital. Bedetheque almost always has full page samples to look at, and a partner site there sometimes has even more, like 12+ pages. You’ve also just reminded me to check out Le Cycle de Cyann, which I was putting off until my French was better. It may be worth a look for you, but I understand it’s considerably more complex than V&L.

Anyway, welcome, and thanks for checking in. 🙂

Don’t you KNOW IT. 🤜🤛

So the joke in this comic is that Jucika received a romantic “Book Day” gift, then re-gifted it to the man she was actually interested in.

Well-summed indeed, and really, a sort of chronic, tragic phenomenon that goes on between the underdog that greatly appreciates the heroine for who she really is, while she has the hots for the more ‘manly’ man. (mix up the genders, delightfully as you will, still the same equation)

I think across my romantic attempted conquests, I only got scorched once or twice, until I kinda realised some fundamental things… 😅

Probably more like the richest assholes who have the most influence in politics in the EU want more DC’s.

Far as I know, no sensible person on Planet Erff wants more DC’s, both locally and remotely, due to their ~100% toxicity rate.

Simple, yet brilliant, and especially poignant for these dark, dark times. oO

Seems to have worked over here?

Hi this is my comic, its about late 1800s europe, psychological warfare mixed with witchcraft and folktale

Btw, one other approach to use is to make the post an ‘image post’ instead of a ‘URL post.’ So you upload some interesting art, include the synopsis, and the link. You may get more clicks that way, so it’s something to keep in mind.

As I mentioned earlier, an introduction to the strip would help. You can still edit that in to your post.

Apart from that, you’re clearly in the comics-creation process, while also showing promise. That’s a journey! I don’t know if this helps you, but I also posted this here, a couple months ago:

I was wondering about that too, frankly. But the point of this SubPie is not to say “only the most exclusive stuff belongs.”

No, IMO it’s just nice that our little platform can be a part of showing off future talent & creativity. ❤️
