I ordered a copy of Shaughnessy’s Unearthing the Changes: Recently Discovered Manuscripts of the Yi Jing (I Ching) and Related Texts 2 months later it has arrived

Brom is particularly good to start in media res where they’re just players who are setting up for the session and the GM is asking them questions, but they’ve forgotten that they entered a dungeon a few hours ago…

they’ve now completed Silent Titan’s R8BY and Brom and the players keep finding new connections that they think are hints linking back to their “old selves” in the previous adventures as Pendragon knights, it’s great, they’re doing my work for me

if you wish to read the yijing, first you must… build a recension from scratch

another UI image, this time showing a layout where the same passage from 8+ different texts is being compared side-by-side. alongside each passage is shown the original image strip; characters that differ in the transcriptions are highlighted.

Went for a short 3km walk in Tãwharanui and unexpectedly spotted Toutouwai (NZ Robin), Tieke (Saddleback) & Pāteke (Brown Teal)… along with the standard Tüï, lots of Korimako, Kererü, a bunch of Pōpokotea, and a silly number of Piwakawaka. Do recommend! all my bird photos were bad so some walkways:

The water is very shiny with the sun reflecting off it. The grass is bright green. There are some clouds and a lot of scrubby bushes.

Photo of a gravel pathway under native trees which lean in from either side. Blue sky is visible through the sparse canopy.

A similar photo but browner/muddier pathways

A photo from the beach in the first photo. The sand is on the left and the sea on the right. Above a grassy embankment on left are large dark green trees. The sky gapes blue above. There are clouds in the far distance on the right.

I do think Rust should have had different traits for 1:1 (injective) conversions vs those that might normalize/be non-invertible

yes both are good, me and my sister played through. also Unraveled which is not so chaotic

came across this randomly — I wonder if it is overtraining to fix this kind of bug: research.google/blog/extra-e... in JS the same kind of code is going to be worse because >>> truncates to 32 bits before shifting; if you use division it’s correct up until you have two 53-bit numbers

North Head was real nice, last weekend

A photograph from a hill looking back over a harbor. The grass is mown and bright green. On the right there's another mount in the distance visible, with houses in front and a beach wrapping all the way around till below the Hill the photo is taken from. Across the other side of the harbor on distant left is the city core, with skyscrapers and the Sky Tower. The sky is deep blue with scattered clouds.

you should probably double check that, most places now have a blanket surcharge on all CC transactions regardless of type (because they are allowed to) so you don’t save anything by using PIN using EFTPOS a lot more now...

this one plant just won’t quit, it must have made like 60 habaneros by now. I have multiple bags in the freezer. I have a litre of hot sauce. running out of things to do!
