The "obviously wrong" thing is that it looks like a photo of stones, but those things can't be stones (e.g. the feather pattern, radial patterns).. I guess someone could have 3d modelled it, but it seems too random for that..

But yeah, not complaining about the AI-ness, but "old" hurts when you've been using the internet ten times longer than the thing being describe ๐Ÿฅฒ

Is it AI? Seems not that old?

Impressive for a first go! Is the pattern available?

This. I've done a bit of all of it (science trained), and worked with others too. People with good science and stats backgrounds seem to have a better grasp of the pitfalls of data analysis. People with only software or data science background sometimes struggle with stats concepts.

Basically, it's easy to pick up enough coding and data viz skills by yourself if you understand the stats. But it's NOT easy to pick up statistics by yourself if you only understand coding and data viz.

Zipf's law is just a specific example of a power law. Other power laws exist for lots of different things, just with different exponents.

the jury seems out about cities. This paper suggests they don't follow a other distributions: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264275124002592 , but this one suggests that they do: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2013/12/on-city-size-distribution_g17a2442/5k3tt100wf7j-en.pdf - specifically it suggests they DO follow Zipf's law, within a given country. Inter-country differences are likely due to different developmental trajectories over time.

Are there open bugs/feature requests about it?

You can type the hashtag in the URL on the web, and follow it from there.

E.g. https://pixelfed.social/i/web/hashtag/urbanSketching

Isn't that pretty much all of their behaviour?

It seems like evidence that at least trump is not an outright russian asset though, right? He's just an idiot (and they probably have some dirt on him)

I can tell, because I have this in my inbox:

(the *Permanently Deleted* bit still has the link to the URL).

The post title was "what's your favourite book" or something similar.

But there's nothing in the modlog that shows this. How come?

 

I would like to manage plugins in the lowest-touch way possible, and ideally one that's easy to migrate to other machines.

I like the idea of the internal plugin manager, but that generally means that I need to manually all the git repos on all machines. It also makes tracking plugins that I'm testing a bit annoying.

The alternative seems to be vundle or vim-plug, which do the git management, but don't use the internal plugin system.

Are there other options? What's the easiest these days?

 

Made some EDM today. Bit wack, but fun. All done on the dirtywave m8, samples self-recorded.

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

 

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
