Since the first (good) image generation models became available, I've been trying to get them to generate an image of a clock with 13 instead of the usual 12 hour divisions. I have not been successful. Usually they will just replace the "12" with a "13" and/or mess up the clock face in some other way.

I'd be interested if anyone else is successful. Share how you did it!

My version of the full glass of wine challenge is "clock face with 13 hour divisions". Nothing I've tried has been able to do it yet.

No, not weird. The extra stuff is there to show you ads and/or track your behavior, which generates a stream of revenue for the TV maker. W/o the extra stuff, the only revenue comes from the one-time purchase.

There is always a need for _some_ secrets to be kept. At the very least from external adversaries.

Why shouldn't a virtuous and transparent government (should one materialize somehow, somewhere) be interested in identifying leakers?

This is getting transpiled to SQL, right? So I still have to understand how the (now generated) SQL will perform on my data and DBMS, plus I got to learn this new syntax. This will be a hard sell.

No, in small doses it enhances performance by lowering heart rate, reducing anxiety, slowing breathing, etc. All are important in sports like rifle shooting.

Related: alcohol is prohibited as a performance-enhancing substance in most archery and shooting competitions.

We're not (trending to etc.). These things are - thankfully - very rare. That is why when they do occur, they make it to the front page.

These are more "patterns" than "algorithms"...
