This suddenly triggered a memory of one specific art attack but I've been scouring YouTube and so far haven't had much luck finding it. I haven't seen all that's available but I'm getting a bit sick of it despite my desire to still see it again. Maybe someone here remembers it.

• I would have watched it in the 90s I think sometimes between 94-96. But I can't say for sure it wasn't a rerun from an earlier period
• The particular art attack was a night scene of traffic on what I think was a wet road with a truck or lorry, the perspective is of the lorry heading towards the viewer, though a little bit profile, not directly head on
• I think it was drawn on black paper
• It may have been done with white and yellow chalk, certainly I remember the colours white and yellow being used
• It was demonstrating ideas around being able to hint at the impression of objects at night without drawing the full object, only the outline of parts of it that would be illuminated by light sources which were headlights and smaller lights attached to the sides and corners of the lorry
• It involved doing something kind of like how a little kid would draw a sun with a crude circle and rays but then some quite clever technique was employed to smudge those little suns and their rays in very straight lines used to trace the hint of outlines of traffic
• It was finally finished off with some kind reflection on the road surface, don't recall how he did it

I've going through ep after ep, nowhere to be found. The wiki for art attack has only two mentions of "night" and it's neither of the two mentioned episodes, there's only one mention of "traffic" and it's in regards to using traffic cones. There's a mention of "truck" but that wasn't it either, I checked. There's no mention of "lorry". Couldn't find anything to do with "wet roads" either. Driving me nuts.

Look lady you had a pretty good run with getting rich AND famous by marrying a rock star and you even leveraged a later in life tv career out of being that woman married to that guy but I seriously wouldn't push it when your notoriety is on such tenuous grounds.

If everyone talks like this all the time and it influences how AI models produce text outputs, then those models are basically getting it right and would be indistinguishable from normal people since that's how all people will speak.

Is that either way or either way?

This instantly put the Resident Evil 4 "what are you buyin'" guy's voice in mind?

Ironically, either of them depending on the situation. Sometimes I even express the concept that I am indifferent to the choice between two things or happy with both of them by saying "ee-ther, eye-ther"

Once upon a slurp slurp slurp

Woah, he looks like a normal human being, why on earth did he put so much effort to choose to look like he does now?!?

"butthole mouth" -- can't unsee.

Those are also a good thing to find in a page source to use with yt-dlp if you want to rip a video from a page, it's like the playlist for DASH so you download all the pieces of a video and it's audio and they get put together as one thing instead of getting little silent 5s videos that you have download one by one and also find the audio for them separately.

Why doesn't the damaging and hot particulate matter in smoke do any harm to or otherwise clog up their spiracles like it does to the inner lining of lungs? I gather lungs are wet and also very delicate, but if they're directly oxygenating their organs through these spiracles eventually it must get to somewhere wet and delicate for the smoke to get in and potentially harm.

that's what I'd hoped, and was the first thing I tried, but it just at some point figured out I was on android and redirected to a google sign-in. On desktop it was some useless link that essentially brought me back to the page where the link to add to apple wallet started on.

I realise the dumbass here is the guy saying programmers are 'cooked', but there's something kind of funny how the programmer talks about how people misunderstand the complexities of their job and how LLMs easily make mistakes because of an inability to understand the nuances of what he does everyday and understands deeply. They rightly point out how without their specialist oversight, AI agents would fail in ridiculous and spectacular ways, yet happily and vaguely adds as a throw away statement at the end "replacing other industries, sure." with the exact same blitheness and lack of personal understanding with which 'Ace' proclaims all programmers cooked.

That's got to be the key to all this, specificity, it's great that it's got natural language processing to simplify things but sometimes that's what's actually getting in the way. What they should really do is have a special version of chatGPT for programming where users can interact with it in a very special form of structured English. It's still natural language, this is the future after all, none of that zeroes and ones crap like the stone age, but just highly specific words with carefully defined meanings particular to making repeatable and executable steps in a pattern that does the same thing every time in response to inputs to produce outputs. You could then "speak" to one of these LLM things using this carefully structured English to automate specific tasks. The real kicker would be that you could tell it to chain together a bunch of these tasks you've had it automate for you to build up in to something much more complex. This would really harness the power of AI because at each step it's made it for you, with minimal input from yourself because you're just 'talking' to it in a very specific way. Admittedly this approach would be a little bit less obvious for new users than a standard LLM, but if an average person kept doing this for like a year or two they'd get pretty adept at this manner of speech, it'd be kind of like learning another language and people have been doing that for as long as there's been people, I speak in a language everyday, I'm doing it right now. We could make it easier too, we could have courses and schools to help people get better at it faster.

Thanks, that's actually the one I'm using but I mistakenly called it "Android Pass" originally. I've edited my post now to reflect this correction. Unfortuantely, at least in the only 2 situations I've ever tried to use a wallet which was now twice in days, I was receiving emails from organisations, one with an auto club membership digital card and one with a ticket to an event, on both occasions, I was given a link to add to my google wallet or a link to add my apple wallet and neither link actually leads to a pkpass file or any downloadable file. In the case of one of them at least I saw it links to some unrelated company that I guess they teamed up with for distributing these passes called urban air ship. I assume if you go ahead an sign-in it eventually goes on to give you a pkpass file or something similar that a google wallet app deals with but I obviously wasn't going to do that. I was wondering if there was any commonly known way to just get the pkpass file from links like those since both seemed to work in much the same way and I assume somewhere at the end of the hoops you jump through you get an actual file.

They might end up making a pretty crappy loaf of bread but it's a bit much to imply they'll become a bad person because of this.

Maybe he came back really quite some time ago and died in obscurity trying desperately the whole time to persuade everyone he was a big deal and ever since people are still waiting around wondering "when's this second coming happening?' having no idea they missed it and it was pretty lame.

Yeh I think the phrase "shit your pants" definitely implies like the same account of piop that you would have dumped in the toilet in a deliberate manner, except in your pants and most likely accidentally.

I mean if you have any choice in the matter it's obviously time to go home.
