I hate this, +1
What? My mother was a saint!

Really cool article. Except this bit:
The image of Saturn was generated with ChatGPT.
Fucking why? Could have saved time and energy with traditional search. Leave the slop out, please.
Not to mention that real high quality astrophotography by NASA and ESA is more often than not under free licenses. Literally the last case where it’s necessary to generate something.
Exactly, makes no sense to me
Laziness. That’s all it is
Moral laziness
Absoutely. It takes like 5 seconds to get a real photo.
But I have considerable downvotes on my original comment. Maybe bots. Maybe AI bros who need to see the light and that their tech is based on the death of IP law.
They needed to make sure it’s wrong
This guy built an image-to-ASCII renderer.
This is so impressive!!!
Mesmerizing…

Hello, fellow Thunder aficionado

voyager rocks!
But also sucks battery.
Well no reason your battery can’t get some o valentine’s
These are pixels
You’re a pixel, man.
I thought this topic would be how different programs render ASCII characters into images of the letters, but then I realized that’s just what fonts are.
This is ASCII characters being used to render images. We used to do this on old mechanical typewriters as an enrichment activity in typing class.
Quality article - thanks for sharing!
I used to make (very bad) ASCII art as a hobby during my PhD (it’s good for relaxing), and a lot of the “smoothing” I learned but I think the method for good contrast would have really helped back then!
I remember back in the day getting my mind blown by the BB demo on a live Linux CD (Knoppix?)
I only know the library for doing this stuff is libcaca just because it’s libpoop in spanish
I really love when people share this kind of articles, they are so entertainment and you learn a lot.
The link gives me Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).
Anyway here’s hasciicam.
Nice, less for video and more for images, but there’s also
Nice, but hasciicam is for video.
:) Do you have WebGL disabled? It failed to open for me in LibreWolf, too. A less restrictive web browser should work.

Yes. Yes.
Wow that was a much deeper dive than I expected, very interesting!
No repo? Crazy to put the writing in but not share the work (unless I missed it).
