@scattershot you are my hero 😍🎉🎉
i wish I could browse instagram the way I do Tusky. I just want a chronological feed of people I actually follow, not random algo shit with 50% ads.

Huh.
So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?
A mile is 1.609 kilometers.
The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.
So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc
5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.
etc etc.
Kinda neat IMO.

Physarum wires: Self-growing self-repairing smart wires made from slime mould: https://arxiv.org/abs/1309.3583 a.k.a. super super gross wires. This is for sure how you end up with the backstory for the Borg.

it survived another round of resizing. How the hell is it taking 200 GB for a single user? The world may never know.
Let's play "is my instance fucked this time" roulette 🤪
My matrix server ran out of space again TT_TT This thing is gonna be eating another 120 bucks a year.
Night three of lack of sleep is really hitting me in the productivity center. TT_TT
@Hyolobrika I saw it more as one component of high modernism, but basically yeah.
@Hyolobrika People trying to make "scientific models" of stuff to do large scale planning. The models end up being flawed and constantly have negative side effects, the book "Seeing Like a State" has some useful insights on the matter. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management
One of my cats crawled in her box to rummage in the toys in it. 😭💜
Taylorism is pretty cringe. Wild that so many corpos live and breathe the most simplified version of it as their spiritual guide.
Got home from this AI/ML meetup and my cats are so excited they're literally jumping over each other as they sprint accross the house.
One of my first dips into making a game engine involved using Java's built in JavaScript engine to script Java with JavaScript. The FFI was abysmally slow :P
@lvk TBH I enjoy Java more because at least when it gives me hell I know that's pretty much a limitation of the JVM and there isn't a cleaner and easier way I could do stuff in JS. :P
venting, housing costs
Ontario housing is so fucked. Tiny shitholes in the middle of nowhere for half a million dollars. Absolute hell world.

“Creative Good: AI isn’t meant for us”
https://creativegood.com/blog/24/ai-isnt-meant-for-us.html
> How did we enter into an economy drenched in AI investments with (so far) little or no appreciable payoff for us, the citizens and students and customers? Because the AIs weren’t developed for us. They were never meant for us.
Hell Boy (2004) is pretty dope.
It's the best option for adding types to JavaScript and using VSCode autocomplete. 🤷
