This looks like a possibility for having manual control over what enhancements are used.

Edit: YES this works I can get unenhanced photos with grain. Without having to go down to processing raws.

Two still-life style table clutters with houseplants, one "enhanced" one not...

Houseplants on a table, "enhanced" with sharp edges and relatively little texture.

Houseplants on a table, much softer image with granular noise and no enhancement.

Crypto secures its first win in a competitive race as Nebraska Senate is called for Pete Ricketts (R) over independent Dan Osborn. Ricketts sits on the Senate Banking Committee, likely why the industry wanted him over Osborn (who has also spoken positively of crypto). $14.1M in spending.

Looks like this is more or less all we’ll get for a while and it’s 4am for me, so I’m going to call it a night and check back in in the morning (and send out a quick recap of tonight’s events for my newsletter subscribers: www.citationneeded.news/signup/)

All I can say is: what a wipeout for crypto & AI.

Winter is coming. Toddlers will freeze to death. Rain will flood tents and soak/destroy all personal belongings.

Palestinians need to buy warm clothing, ideally ahead of time. They need to replace tents. At the prices dictated by genocide-profiteers.

Over the coming months, Palestinians will need our support the most. Don't grow tired of supporting, don't grow indifferent to suffering, don't give in to feelings of powerlessness. If you need a break, that's okay, but do come back from your break.

If you don't have money to donate, you can send them words of emotional support. Listen to their stories and sorrows. It matters, more than you know.

Good news!

A nice chap has just called to tell me that my BMW is ready, and that they will be returning it to me today.

This is especially welcome as I do not have, and never had had, a BMW, so it must be a gift!

I wonder what colour it will be.

A photo of a cat's head peeking out over the top of a computer monitor. The monitor shows a cropped picture of Garfield the cat, and the photo overall shows an attempt at lining up the cat's head with the Garfield cartoon image.

LLMs have put some pressure on software development and that has lead to sort of a victory lap amongst designy/product people: Finally they no longer need devs to fight with.
Just shows the typical "AI" bias: Everyone else's skills are irrelevant, just mine matter. But of course design and product shit is gonna be next. With similarly bad results.

"AI" means everything is fast fashion now: Disposable, crappy, shit for the environment.
