I uhhh, don't think we should qualify anthropomorphization by some thinking power level threshold it seems readily apparent that many people will be disappointed and offended by the natural conclusion of that

My #ramps test print just arrived from Denmark, and I couldn't be happier. 1.2 meter square. 300gsm archive paper. Museum glass. Natural oak frame. So pretty 🤩

hi friends I'm very excited to announce Halfspace, my experimental cross-platform IDE for solid modeling with distance fields! This has been in progress since midway through last year, and it's finally "done enough" to make it more public.

+1 totally believe this -- I'm old enough to remember CPU image rendering where each frame was 1-2 hours and you'd make a change, wait, make a change, wait... and then the first GPU rendering came out, and now it's ~real time and you just flyyy

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, as someone who both does not get into souls-likes (punishment for the sake of punishment games) but also playing forza horizon 6 and realizing that there is absolutely zero named villains or opponents; you don't even need to win races to advance

yeah, we need some sort of word that's like... one axis perpendicular to 'small tech' or 'low tech' the tech _amount_ is proliferate - it's not pastoral anti-tech - it's big-tech-at-human-scale, controlled by ourselves or proverbially 'local' operators, for the upward benefit of us and each other

fun somewhat related fact: because pipe organs generate perfect-ish square and sawtooth waves, the only real difference between them and chiptune sound is the physical cathedral reverb playing chiptune with reverb makes hymns, and playing pipe organs with no cathedral sounds like chiptunes

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
