If it was me, I wouldn't remove a single sticker. I would give it a thick layer of varnish or epoxy and then polish it to a crystal clear finish.

Was hoping for more about the game takedowns, but not much of anything was said:

LP: [...] how does The Pokémon Company handle Cease & Desist letters with regards to fan projects? How did you find them, and where did you draw the line on what's allowed and what the company thinks needs to be shut down?

DM: Short answer: [...] someone from the company would send me a link to a news article, or I would stumble across it myself. [...] I say this to my students: the worst thing on earth is when your "fan" project gets press, because now I know about you.

LP: Oh. Oh no.

DM: But that's not the end of the equation. You don't send a takedown right away. You wait to see if they get funded (for a Kickstarter or similar); if they get funded then that's when you engage. No one likes suing fans.

Neat fact to know. I always love learning new things.

The audit was not about finding the exact cause of the previous incidents:

The audit, which is kind of like a quality control inspection for large companies, analyzed 89 aspects of Boeing’s 737 Max production

The audit looks at current production to assess wether or not everything is being done to prevent further hazards (they failed over a third of the inspections). Determining what caused the past incidents would be assigned to the equivalent of crime scene investigators (FAA detectives?).

Determining production line compliance and investigating the cause of a major malfunction are two entirely different beasts.

I would love to be able to buy something like a dedicated ai card in the future. I'm imagining something for running my own image gen or gpt that's like a GPU but cheaper and more single purposed.

GPUs work well for AI, but they are expensive and are not optimized solely for AI.

I second this. If you already have one (or even a ps5 controller) then they are a perfect choice. I imagine a switch pro controller would work too, and you get the bonus of having a nice controller for your switch.

If you don't have one then 8bitdo is a safe choice

Feel like I just descended through the seven layers of hell...

Both beautiful and somber

Oh that's good. I'm gonna have to use that one.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you generate images this easily and with such speed? I'm running auto 1111 and it takes a minute or two to generate a single image. Does it come down to certain software, or do you need to have seriously powerful hardware?

I just want that dino as a fren

I believe it's a really well done needle felt
