Doesn't curl still validate ssl certificates? So long as I'm curling an https url from a trusted domain, don't I still have a chain of trust?

If you're training this on your own timing patterns, do you worry that eventually captchas will pick up on this and you yourself will no longer be able to prove you are a human?

Try from inside the signal app itself instead of system settings? On android Signal has an option at hamburger menu > Settings > Notifications > Notifications (toggle switch)

Oh... hmm, two toggles actually. One at Settings > Notifications > Calls > Notifications toggle, and the other at Settings > Notifications > Messages > Notifications toggle

Self-describing API endpoints... is the server side for this basically just HATEOAS?

Oh that makes sense, thanks for explaining! And thanks for sharing your process and result! Interesting to see your process, and looking at the map really tickles my nostalgia

I'm curious why you didn't do something like generate new tiles one at a time, but just expand the input area on the sides with already-generated neighbors. Looks like your infill model doesn't really care about tile sizes, and I doubt it really needs full adjacent tiles to match style. Why 2x2 tile inputs rather than say... generate new tiles one at a time, but add 50px of bordering tile on each side that already has a pixel art neighbor?

I think the core idea in "masking" is to provide adjacent pixel art tiles as part of the input when rendering a new tile from photo reference. So part of the input is literal boundary conditions on the output for the new tile.

Reference image from the article: https://cannoneyed.com/img/projects/isometric-nyc/training_d...

You have to zoom in, but here the inputs on the left are mixed pixel art / photo textures. The outputs on the right are seamless pixel art.

Later on he talks about 2x2 squares of four tiles each as input and having trouble automating input selection to avoid seams. So with his 512x512 tiles, he's actually sending in 1024x1024 inputs. You can avoid seams if every new tile can "see" all its already-generated neighbors.

You get a seam if you generate a new tile next to an old tile but that old tile is not input to the infill agorithm. The new tile can't see that boundary, and the style will probably not match.

I don't know why California's electricity costs so much, but the gas prices are high due to regulation distorting the market. California has special California gas produced only at in-state refineries. It's for a good cause--California's gas, "CARB gas" is cleaner. But the gas market in California is segregated from the wider US market

From the title I thought this was going to be a variation on the bear and swimmer puzzle.

This sounds like a footgun.

At some point some application developer will introduce a bug where they're not sending utc.

Without the time zone, the wrong times will end up in the database, bad data mixed in with good. This will be a nightmare to fix.

With the time zone, I don't think this class of bugs is possible. Most application developers will wrap the time in an object that allows them to do time operations without needing to directly handle time zone in most cases.
