Book review #27 for 2024 is Steve Silberman's Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity. A helpful and informative book on the unfolding journey of and...battles with/for, regarding people who interact with their world differently. I found this book to be helpful in understanding the rise of what we today call neurodiversity. ☕☕☕☕1/2 review. @stevesilberman@books@bookstodon@bookstodon#autism#neurodiversity#books#books2024 #
Chika looks absolutely stunning in this photo. She's so beautiful, I swear. I've got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about her :btr_nijika_heart: I hope she knows just how much I love her!
1/4 "Barbarians" by Jacek Markusiewicz impresses me like no other recent work of #GenerativeArt has.
The images of majestic mountain slopes and neatly arranged fields – with occasional buildings strewn in between them – at first feel strangely detached and bland, thanks to a distant, aerial point of view and bleached, bright colours. Yet the way the landscapes are unexpectedly interrupted by smooth, deep, geometrical gashes appears alien and out of place.
3/4 The title implies a hierarchy of cultural development; in the description, Markusiewicz explains how the concept of barbarism always derogatorily refers to "the other". He leaves open who the barbarians are in the context of these images, however.
Are they the people living in the tiny buildings between the invasive structures? Or are the structures the signs of a barbaric intrusion into a peaceful civilization living there? What other interpretations could there be for us?
Ace attorney anime was kinda ass sweat though and vastly inferior to the games, I just wished they continued using the same japanese voice for naruhodo/phoenix mayoi/Maya for the main games as they did for the Layton crossover. It was the live action movie actors that voiced them in the crossover IIRC and it was an excellent job that felt way more natural than generic male anime voice #27 and generic female anime voice #13
#WritersCoffeeClub 1/26. How do you ensure that you don't infringe copyright in your work?
This is a weird-ass question.
How about: Don't use/steal other people's work?
I suppose it's worth saying that ideas are not copyrightable, only created work. If they were, none of us could be writers.
Also copyright is implicit the moment you create something - in any country that's signatory to the International Declaration on Human Rights. Clause #27 is about copyright.
JAXA's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) is getting ready for landing on the lunar surface tomorrow Friday Jan 19 at 15:20 UTC.
The spacecraft, nicknamed the “Moon Sniper,” will demonstrate precision landing in a target area less than 100m in diameter, using real-time image recognition technology.
The spacecraft will land on a sloping surface near the crater Shioli.
SLIM carries a number of science instruments and will also deploy 2 rovers.
SLIM was indeed powered down at 17:57 UTC (which is when AMSAT-DL reported loss of signal; see post #27). Battery level was 12% at that time, 2.5 hours after touchdown.
Telemetry shows that the solar panels are facing west and there is hope that later in the lunar day, the system may revive. Many of us concluded that from the webcast images.
I love not being bombarded by ads thanks to pihole and adblockers. I don’t have cable TV either. But without browsing netlifx/Hulu/etc. how do you actually find stuff to watch and discover worthwhile shows and movies to rent from my library?
That’s what is mainstream popular. How do you find stuff you actually like ?
Only a system that you have trained with like/dislike and can compare with other sets of content preference similar to yours will find that precious “content similar to your preferences but you haven’t seen yet”
That’s a content recommendation engine.
Now the questions is, how can we each run our owm self hosted recommemder engine which will share our list to others automatically so that we can pool it all together and create a useful recommender engine.
Without that, we have to rely on the artificial mainstream mush like marvel movie #27
@pixiecata The range may be limited, but at least some of the colors are beautiful. Their #27 green is so gorgeous, if I had seen it before I ordered the two TWSBI greens, I would have bought it.

Okay but really, why are they all boring 3D fighters that have barely changed since the PS2 era?
How do you discover new content?
