Assuming we all agree that books are a medium. This scared the ever living shit out of me as a 2 year old. I imagine my dad reading the poem in his best am-dram mysterious narrator voice didn't help. I had recurring nightmares multiple times a week about it until I was around 11 😬

from what I hear the newest generations of paints from all the main manufacturers are pretty good as long as they're well mixed. If you buy some stainless steel ball bearings & a nail polish shaker that fixes that.

I use whatever works? I have a lot of citadel base paints & contrast they're great. I use vallejo's primer with an airbrush & rate their airbrush paints (esp. for metallics) also their model colour. I kickstarted the 1st batch of the new P3, they are pretty great too.

Just wild that the "British" are all about racial purity. It was a bunch of Celts and Picts. Then some Saxons and Jutes immigrated. Then some Vikings. Then some Normans. Then some Dutch (everybody forgets about the 1688 invasion!) and THEN oh sure THEN we're "British" oh give me a fucking break.

given a quaternion rotation q, q² doubles the rotation √q halves the rotation qˣ scales the rotation by x as a rule of thumb - whatever operator you would use with vectors, like, say, addition, elevate it to the higher order operator (multiplication) to do the same thing on a quaternion

a table comparing vector operations to quaternion operations side by side, highlighting the similarities. the quaternion variants look almost identical, except they use the next higher order operator in each expression. ie: multiplication instead of addition. exponentiation instead of multiplication, etc.

Lots of people complaining they can't read the paper because they're just rummaging around in the GitHub repo and opening the raw HTML. Folks - it's a repo. You have to "download" it. Are people just way too Web 3.0-pilled these days? Feeling like Principal Skinner here...

I'm just going to continuously post this one. AI is just math. Who gives a shit. It's the capitalism that's ramming it into every thing. It's always been the capitalism making us miserable.

A version of the Eric Andre shooting a guy meme.

Capitalism shoots Humanity, then turns to the camera and asks "Why would AI do this?"
