@Justin @dilmandila I agree, I was also skeptical at first, but ended up enjoying it otherwise.
My main gripe is the short length of the episodes. Would have prefered less episodes, but then each with 45min or so play time.

Bin gerade über diese App gestolpert und finde das Konzept richtig gut. Verbindung eingeben, kurz den Algorithmus grübeln lassen, und man kriegt eine Wahrscheinlichkeit ausgespuckt, mit der man alle Anschlüsse kriegt, inklusive Aufschlüsselung der einzelnen Umstiege und berechneter Ankunftszeiten. Kennt ihr sicher alle schon, ich freue mich gerade drüber.

Danke @mctoel für die coole App!

@wasamasa @bleuje I had the same realization when I met Andy at a conference in April where he gave a talk about his art. It reminded me of something, and then I realised it was Max Cooper's album covers ^^

@wasamasa @bleuje I know that Andy Lomas has a few interesting talks and publications about cell growth and morphogenesis: andylomas.com/

I finally wrote an article detailing the techniques I've been using to make organic simulations. It ranges from the classic physarum algorithm to some of my more advanced tricks.
I tried to explain things clearly, and it includes interactive parts. I hope you enjoy it!

Wenn die Welt mit 100% erneuerbarer Energie versorgt wird, dann wird die Hälfte des weltweiten Schiffverkehrs wegfallen, Kohle Öl und Gas braucht dann nicht mehr transportiert zu werden

A figure stands before a massive, circular structure with a glowing orb resembling a planet at its center, bathed in light.A cloaked figure stands in a dark forest bathed in an eerie red glow emanating from a bright vertical light beam.A striking digital artwork depicts a towering, serene human face sculpted into a white brick wall, illuminated by a strong shaft of light from the upper left. Below the face, a tall, narrow doorway is visible. In the foreground, a tiny, cloaked figure stands on a raised pathway, facing the wall. To the left, a dark pool of water reflects the light. The overall scene has a minimalist, almost ethereal quality, emphasizing scale and contemplation.A small farmhouse lies in a grassy field, adjacent to a tall radio tower. Autumn trees frame the scene, with mountains visible under a cloudy sky in the background.

A few years ago, at least twice a week someone posted the rotating, extending wooden table gif to the fediverse, because they saw it for the first time and were fascinated by it. It became a bit annoying, but it has recently disappeared from the fediverse, it seems. I kinda miss being annoyed by it. So. Here it is again :)

Originally known as a Jupe table, named after the inventor Robert Jupe, who patented it in 1835.

This is the Fletcher Capstan table: youtube.com/watch?v=UyZYQ_rhBP

Gigantic

It began yesterday and continued today, that feeling that nothing I do will ever change the fact that I’m small. I can barely save myself, let alone the world, and I do want to save the world.

Every day we're attacked by something. A bombing. A stabbing. Peaceful hopes trampled by all the sounds of fear: bigotry (the dumbest of the ills), idolatry (the most tragic of spiritual potentials), jingoism (the most childish of geography lessons)...

In ancient programming folklore, it was believed that making significant code changes on a Friday invoked the wrath of "Segfault," a mischievous Unix daemon responsible for memory errors and unpredictable system crashes. Happy Read-only Friday.

@lucajunge yep, its great!
Can't wait for Ghost 6 to drop and bring ActivityPub support. Their newsletter about this is always a joy to read.

@norberteder mir ist es schon 1-2 Mal passiert, dass Apple Music mir einen AI Song in die Playlist mit neuer Musik gespült hat. Fühlte sich jedes Mal sehr weird an, aber es gibt leider noch keinerlei Möglichkeit, das zu reporten oder zu blockieren.
Bei Artstation gibt es inzwischen immerhin einen AI Flag, den man ausblenden kann.

@smagnusson yeah, I haven't had a Ryzen before either, but supposedly the 7800X3D is quite energy efficient in general, especially under load

Well look what the cat dragged in.
