AskKbin·Moving to: m/AskMbin!byBizarroland

Do you ever go back and reread your own posts and find yourself wondering how the hell you managed to say the words that you said?

Like sometimes I'll make a post and I go back and I reread it and I'm like somebody way smarter than me wrote this, and sometimes I'll go back and reread it and wonder how the fuck was I so stupid as to write this?

Is that the way it is for you also, or am I just weirder than the average person?

I think AI replacing artists is going to be a good thing in the long run.

I think AI replacing artists is going to be a good thing in the long run.

Right now, if you want custom artwork made without the use of AI you have to either criminally underpay an artist on Fiverr or pay an artist hundreds of dollars to make one piece which you may not like.

I think the cat is out of the bag on AI generated art pieces and there's no way to put it back in, and so future artists will use a combination of their actual art skills and their ability to work with an AI system to create entirely new and currently nearly impossible art pieces, and there is an entire field of unexplored possibilities waiting to be tapped by Future artists.

AI can't make new art.

All it can do is repurpose pieces of art other people have made, just like Auto-Tune can make you sing on pitch but it can't make you a good singer.

Default setup and screen display code for Ideaspark ESP8266-096OLED

Hey, I bought one of these off of Temu a while back and started playing with it, but the online code tutorials didn't work. The ESP8266 would connect to the web but I couldn't make the screen display anything.

After a lot of trial and error I was able to track down the listing and find the missing pieces, which were these steps:

1: Install CH340 driver
2: Install ESP8266 Board
3: Select board as NodeMcu 1.0(ESP-12E Module)
4: Install the U8g2 library by oliver
5: Set the board properties:
Upload Speed 921600
Flash Size: 4MB (FS-2MB OTA: ~1019kb)
(The other defaults were fine)

And then here is a sample code that will re-create the default screen display when flashed from the Arduino IDE:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <U8g2lib.h>

U8G2_SSD1306_128X64_NONAME_F_SW_I2C
//u8g2(U8G2_R0,/'clock='/14,/'data='/12,U8X8_PIN_NONE); This is what was in the listing, but it didn't work. The next line corrects that.
u8g2(U8G2_R0,14,12,U8X8_PIN_NONE);

void setup(void) {
u8g2.begin();
}
void loop(void) {
u8g2.clearBuffer();
u8g2.setFont(u8g2_font_6x13_tf); //This sets the font
u8g2.drawStr(0,10,"Hello,ideaspark"); // (X pos, y pos, content)
u8g2.drawStr(0,26,"ESP8266");
u8g2.drawStr(0,36,"ESP8266 0.96");
u8g2.drawStr(0,46,"ESP8266 0.96 inch");
u8g2.drawStr(0,56,"ESP8266 0.96 SSD1306");
u8g2.sendBuffer();
delay(1000);
}

Hopefully that helps someone!

If you had a one-way ticket to Jan 1, 1999 that departs on Jan 1, 2024, and you are allowed to bring whatever fits into a backpack with you, what would you bring to use to take over the world, and how

Assume that the future can change based on your actions, so any historical information that you bring along with you from the intervening 25 years may quickly drift out of the new realities history.

Edit: also assume that you can be given a healthy 21-year-old body if you want or take your previous self's place.

Further, identification will be provided for you if you were not born at that time.

We shouldn't rush the gates to try to make kbin just like Reddit.

We shouldn't rush the gates to try to make kbin just like Reddit.

Sure it might help people migrate but it well ultimately cause this site to stagnate because people can see the exact same things on Reddit that they can see here, but with a lot more engagement on Reddit.

Whenever possible you should try something new.
