I misunderstood the task:

Vindaloo, Lamb. Hot.

If you like retro electronics, pinball, synthesizers, and/or talented women, you should watch this:

Yes! Pocket paint is pretty decent, though their text/font support is subpar

I have talked with this person... It was not pleasant.

@craigtimpany
I was really hoping for at least smooth map panning and sprite movement, maybe a few frames of animation...

Oh my God.

I’ve just realised what ChatGPT reminds me of. It’s from Douglas Adams’ novel Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, published 35 years ago.

“It’s funny how many of the best ideas are just an old idea back-to-front. You see there have already been several programs written that help you to arrive at decisions by properly ordering and analyzing all the relevant facts so that they then point naturally toward the right decision. The drawback with these is that the decision which all the properly ordered and analysed facts point to is not necessarily the one you want.”

“Yeeeess ...” said Reg’s voice from the kitchen.

“Well, Gordon’s great insight was to design a program which allowed you to specify in advance what decision you wished it to reach, and only then to give it all the facts. The program’s task, which it was able to accomplish with consummate ease, was simply to construct a plausible series of logical-sounding steps to connect the premises with the conclusion.”

Whenever I make box Mac&cheese with those they tend to get stuffed with powder that doesn't quite get fully mixed into the sauce, so there's that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There was one site I used that also wouldn't let you remove your only payment method. Cant update, can't, remove, can't add...

I've been preferring fedilab vs tusky, but I still have both installed.

New sexual roles just dropped.

Was: Top, Bottom, Vers
Now: Top, Bottom, Charm, Strange, Up, Down
Polycules are now subject to color charge coupling rules.

The Pillars of Creation appear in a fuller palette of infrared light, thanks to #NASAWebb! Near-infrared captures stars that are fully formed and still emerging from these spires. Mid-infrared light reveals the dust—see the orange and indigos: https://webbtelescope.pub/3UlVA5A

At the bottom left of this almost-square image are the thickest regions of brown and purple gas and dust. There are many layers of semi-transparent gas and dust overlaying one another. A peak rises about a third of the way from the bottom, and becomes far darker with two bright red areas toward the tip, which look like lava. The dust becomes sheer about halfway up the image. There’s a slight gap in the dust, which allows the multi-colored background to come into view. The background is blue at bottom left, orange at top center, and hazy pink in regions right outside the pillars. The light brown pillars continue, taking the shape of a shoulder at the base, with three prominent columns rising out toward the upper right. The top left pillar is the largest and widest. The peaks of the second and third pillars are set off in darker shades of brown and have transparent purple haze just outside them.

Turns out it was SF, not Detroit that introduced robocop. #worsttimelineproblems

I think one of the interesting bits about the federated model is that you can have a gateway for just about any service to allow crossposting from the federated app, thouth you might lose out on certain "native" features.

Very cool. I saw this video a while back on a version I've been meaning to play with for a while called lenia

Now the traditional 2D CA example is Conway's game of life, but I had just been working with floats to much more exciting effect and wanted to continue with that. Turns out when you get to floating point (continuous) CA in 2D, you end up doing a _lot_ of pixel lookups! To get any of this stuff in realtime, I had to move my code from the CPU over to shaders. And yeah, continuous 2D has gliders too :)

If you've ever wondered how a sewing machine works, this video actually shows it off.

https://youtu.be/rUSecXVt-jU

I grew up around sewing machines, my mom raised me by being a costumer, upholsterer, tailor, and even a clothing business at one point. And I have a compulsion to figure out how things work, but for my 35 year life I haven't been able to figure out how the bobbin stays in without interfering with the needle thread. This actually explains the magic.
