Hah, yeah, I tried to mention a variety so people wouldn't think any show was too old or too niche. I watch whatever manages to snag my interest in some way.
Some shows I check out simply from the sudden uptick in memes, which is how I found my way to Columbo.
Seeing as this thread is still active, instead of continuing to reply to people throughout, gonna go ahead and put this out here.
If you're not finding an active community for something (safe for work, that is) or any community whatsoever for your interest, you're welcome to post about the topics that interest you in [email protected] till you find enough likeminded people to get a separate community going. This was always allowed tbh, but I've tried to make it more explicit and clear that it's cool.
A little surprised this hasn't been discussed more on here...Also this is particularly relevant, if true, given Altman stepping into overseeing safety:
Toner says that one reason the board stopped trusting Altman was his failure to tell the board that he owned the OpenAI Startup Fund; another was how he gave inaccurate info about the company’s safety processes “on multiple occasions.”
Emphasis mine.
Hmm, maybe instead then dye hair and wear a well-fitted wig to create the look... 🤔
Glancing at this, I was thinking it might be fun to have a well-made headband that blended with your hair and had nice soft cat/dog ears. Bonus for the tech-inclined would be some way to make'em move as well somehow.
You're welcome to post about papers and discuss them over in [email protected] to try to get this going for more specific communities!
You might give the programming.dev instance a try for the first couple subjects, as they have an open [email protected] community that may work for them.
Given the absence of specific communities (or active ones so far), if people would like they could start these conversations over in [email protected].
I recognize it's not the same, particularly for getting to those deep dive points you mention with ATLA, but gotta start somewhere, right?
Also I can easily give this go-ahead being one of the mods there. Up to now I've hesitated popping into threads like this and pointing people there because I'm not a fan of consolidation, but it's become apparent some simple meeting area may help to get more niche communities spun off and going.
I agree on both points!
I like to try to add a little more levity around here, especially when it's in the spirit of the original post!
You might try different media if you haven't already, as in, instead of pencil/pen and paper, maybe colored pencils or markers. Maybe even try getting some black paper and trying to draw with white color pencils instead.
I'm sure you may have tried a variety of things over the years, so I'm just spitballing, but also if you're trying to dive into the deep end with more complex drawings, you might revisit and really hone the fundamentals. Fundamentals being like getting clean lines by practicing drawing those over and over till you can get a nice, sharp line (which often isn't a single pencil/brush stroke!).
Once you have those down you may move on to the simple shapes, squares, triangles, circles, and try to recognize how those are put together for more complex forms. It's a tough skill to get down, without a doubt (I'm not some proficient artist personally), but it's just that: a skill that takes not only practice but learning methodologies. One of the toughest parts with drawing is that there's so many methods to go about it to figure out which helps you improve.
Jungle is a plant metropolis
I see they're competing with some Japanese shows for long, descriptive titles! Jokes aside, this sounds up my alley!
