Dug into the Claude dir in my home folder and found some Opus 5 session had created a memory that “the concept of the privy sparks joy for the user”. I never said anything like this. I feel like I’ve been pranked by an AI. Now I have to search every machine.

Members of the media need to be asking his cabinet: “trump threatened to use military force against US bond market. Dont you think he’s lost his mind and needs to be removed?” Not because they’d do it, but because their answers and spin would be hilarious.

The top frame is from 2015, when French meteorologists did a “forecast” from a #climate heated August 2050 - a warning on what could possibly happen in 35 years time. Bottom frame: well, it’s happened in barely a decade, only it’s already *much* worse than predicted. It’s a runaway train.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Born to be a whale, cursed to be confused with a lizard, the Ballad of Basilosaurus is a tale as long and winding as its serpentine body. The process of making this linocut print of my favorite prehistoric whale was almost as terrifying as the beast itself.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

A bad President, for
instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to
revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous
power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the
dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you
succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and
you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will
pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government;
I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure
but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done
with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How
inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent
power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked.
He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of
securing allegiance to the government.

I got tired of looking up normals so I made myself a cheatsheet If you're not already aware, a normal map renders a pixel at a fake angle determined by the colour. E.g. yellow tilts the pixel toward the top right. (79, 102, 179) would be leftwards and slightly down #GameDev #Tips #Graphics

A 3 by 3 grid of colours with sample colours and numerical codes to show which colour corresponds to which direction in a normal map

Top left: bright green - 0, 255, 128
Top centre: lime green- 128, 255, 128
Top right: yellow - 255, 255, 128
Centre left: teal - 0, 128, 128
Centre (unchanged normal): light blue - 128, 128, 255
Centre right: salmon - 255, 128, 255
Bottom left: dark blue - 0, 0, 128
Bottom centre: purple - 128, 0, 128
Bottom right: pink - 255, 0, 128

Additional notes show that a change in angle from bottom to top varies green from 0 to 255. A change in angle from left to right varies red from 0 to 255. Blue varies from 128 to 255 to describe in angle perpendicular to the actual texture through to facing fully upward
