#GenerativeArt interlude

I was doing some refactoring; so a nice little Newton fractal for you using the glorious "managua" gradient for the colouring

f(x) = sin(x)⁶+3sin(x)⁵-sin(x)⁴-2sin(x)³-2sin(x)²+sin(x)+2

Sis: “Let’s plan a dive trip this summer!”
Me: “Let me work on that! Right now I’m trying to balance summer plans with summer work.”
Sis: “K. Just remember as you plan that we only have 30 summers left.”

¡Bueno pues tengo una noticia! :flipando:

Llevo unos meses trabajando en ello, tranquilamente. Tras leer mucho, consultar a mucha gente, ir de puerta en puerta de editoriales, dedicar ratos sueltos a todos los detalles...

Si todo sale bien, la semana que viene autopublico mi primer libro de relatos "Lo que pasó tras las tormentas".

Se trata de una serie de relatos cortos que he ido escribiendo a lo largo de 6 años. Estoy muy emocionada de sacarlo adelante.

Os cuento un poco en este hilo 🧵

It appears Google's AI overview is really just RAG over the top search results (= search stuff on the web given the user query, let LLM answer query given the contents of search result)

Naturally, redditors have started poisoning search results. Google ranks Reddit very highly. This issue is basically not fixable unless Google largely ignores Reddit content except for known good content, or develops a model they can use to filter adversial content (which is basically impossible)

Glorius.

A while ago I made a post about warping 3D models in a shader without messing up the normals. I've cleaned up the math a bit since then so I've made a new write-up about it in case anyone's interested! Kind of a niche topic, but it's come up enough that I wanted something more up to date to be able to point to. https://www.davepagurek.com/programming/shader-domain-warping/

Who called it “monogamous” and not “low poly”

hamoid, 26 days ago to CreativeCode

One of the things I did today during the #CreativeCode Jam in Berlin was to visualize some agents (2D points) @mimetik 's program generated on real time.

His program is fascinating to watch... how they cluster, chase each other, try to escape...

I thought the point distribution in 2D space was more interesting than just a random distribution and wondered how they might look as triangles.

6 agent types with different colors. It was fun to juggle with that data and create many iterations.

Trees full of rapidly-ripening #cherries in the garden, and no-one to pick them!
Anyone want a #holiday in sunny #CharenteMaritime? Three double guest-rooms... small charge to cover water and electricity...
And all the cherries you can eat.

Anyone in Germany or Austria (on the route between UK and Slovenia) up for hosting me + maybe other live coders for an gig/workshop around 27th July or 4th August? Looking for a stop-off on the way to https://pif.camp/ by train

vicki, 1 month ago to LLMs

The most interesting stuff in #LLMs right now (to me) is:

• figuring out how to do it small
• figuring out how to do it on CPU
• figuring out how to do it well for specific tasks

“Oh you’ve got a lot of friends” my wife said looking at an app on my phone.

It’s the one that lists all my plants.

I’m actually very lonely.

But I do own plants.

This guy unwrapped the "2001: A Space Odyssey" slit-scan graphics to find the original images used. One was a fish and coral.

okay leute ich werde einen kneipenroman schreiben und zwar als fortsetzungsgeschichte. der plan ist ein kapitel pro woche (wobei die länge von 8000 bis 50 zeichen variieren kann, most likely aber 50 zeichen selten vorkommen werden; ich sags nur falls ich in eine schreibkrise gerate). über das konzept und die idee erzähle ich später mehr.es geht los ab nächster woche montag. kostet fünf öcken im monat.

“How do you accidentally run for President of Iceland? | by Anna Andersen”

Glad somebody wrote about this because it’s an objectively hilarious UX case study

(And they just announced that eleven people managed to get the requisite number of endorsements in time) https://uxdesign.cc/how-do-you-accidentally-run-for-president-of-iceland-0d71a4785a1e

With all the valid concern around #llm and #genai power and water usage, I thought I'd start a blog series on tiny LLMs. Let's see what they can do on real tasks on very power efficient hardware.

Ok well @ef1j and @paulrickards inadvertently nerdsniped me into getting my old and very dented pen plotter working, and a few coffee breaks later it's showing signs of life! To be continued :-)

I made a new Mastodon bot, called "I Hope This Email Finds You.” Twice a day it proposes a novel way to conclude that sentence. (It uses phrases from Google Books that include the phrase “finds you.”) I've been having fun reading these, so I turned it into a bot because you, too, might have fun reading them. https://botsin.space/@thisemailfindsyou/112295528875440987

So have you come up with any !!Con ideas yet? Don't reply with them here (since we anonymize carefully through our submission process) but you should TOTALLY submit them! You can submit more than one! Tell your friends, too!!

I am writing this because we are having our biweekly !!Con organizational meeting and I needed a reminder so maybe you do too. Do it! --joshua (who has never used Mastodon before and hopes he has gotten the culture right?)

We’ve cast off lines and put Honolulu to our rudder. Soon we’ll leave Hawaii in our wake as we sail on towards Japan.
