We don't live in slop world because of AI, we live in slop world because the purpose of everything is to generate a return on investment for capital. We evaluate everything along metrics designed to serve that purpose over any other. AI is just the best way we found of optimizing for these metrics.

i know this doesn't seem like much but the fact that we can properly work with arrays/collections in resonite now is like actually such a wild game changer. "download a UNIX fortune file/give me a random fortune" is like 15 nodes now. this was a far more complicated thing a few days ago
a small assemblage of protoflux nodes that download and store a file over http. then another small bit of protoflux splits that file's contents at a percent symbol into an array, then picks a random element from that array

i love seeing creative qr code designs, so i made this guide explaining what tricks you can (and can't!) do with qr codes while still keeping them very much readable have fun and make cool stuff!!
(ADVANCED) Guide to (not) fucking up qr codes
...while still making them look cool asf!
by Lyra Rebane

(1) Just have the QR code as-is, works the best!

(2) But leave some white padding, otherwise some scanners can't scan the code!

(3) Recolor the code using a light and dark color!

(4) But don't invert the colors, some scanners can't handle this.

Everything tested with: GrapheneOS, Samsung, iOS, Binary Eye

Page 1/4(1) Depending on the error correction you can cover up to 30% of the data in the QR code. This will make the QR harder to scan, but it should still work on all scanners.

(2) But this only applies to the data and ec (green). You can also cover one of the format info parts (yellow)

(3) Counter-intuitively, it also only applies to entire codewords (bytes) at once. Therefore you should make sure to never mess up over 30% of the codewords, even by a single pixel!

(4) For example, I added a sneaky one pixel thick worm onto this QR code, which makes it unscannable!

(5) But this QR code I added that chonky snake with a pride scarf onto remains perfectly readable!

Page 2/4(1) To scan QR codes, scanners will first find the three locators (blue) and then use the zebras (red) to create a grid over the code.

(2) This means that you can stretch, skew, or rotate your codes because the grid still stays intact!
Don't go too overboard with this, as some scanners can't handle extreme transformations.
Pretty much just make sure that straight lines can still be drawn!

(3) However, transformations that don't retain the grid - such as bends - can make the QR code unreadable. Keep this in mind when putting your QR codes on curved real world objects, such as posts and pipes.

(4) If you need to draw curved lines for a grid, the code cannot be scanned.

Note: the GrapheneOS stock Camera app might struggle with certain skews/rotations

Page 3/4
(1) QR code scanners use the grid to pinpoint the center parts of pixels, which means that the rest of the pixel does not matter!

(2) This means that you can shape your pixels however you want, provided that the middle stays unchanged.

(3) Or you can fill the rest of the QR code with a different image or even pure noise!
Note that a QR code like this could break after resizing or image compression, so use with caution!

(4) As with the other tricks, this reduces scannability, so make sure to test it with multiple devices, especially if you’re combining all of the tricks into one ultra QR code!

(5) This example still scans, but may not work properly or reliably everywhere!

A major UK interconnector project had to be redirected after a public outcry that it would go straight through the 'grave' of Dobby, a fictional elf from the Harry Potter books, it has been revealed.
The interconnector in question was Greenlink, a 504MW link between the Irish and British electricity networks that went live last year. The link runs from the north of Wales to the north of Dublin, enabling wind and solar power to be sent across the Irish Sea as needed.

Hack your way out of planned obsolescence | Ori's Weird Blog
When I was starting my current job I still thought that planned obsolescence in consumer stuff was bad enough. Now I still very much think that, but enterprise hardware is worse, so much worse! It’s almost surprising, you’d think that this is serious gear, for serious people, therefore it should be easily serviceable and indestructible, but in reality it’s nothing but a front for a much more lucrative operation. Support contracts.
