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
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
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. 🤷

Publishing a website to IPFS and Hypercore in ~5seconds!
TypeScript 😮💨
Even though the pill bugs are my pets I like to consider them as veing petpets for my gecko since I am neopets brained. 🤪
One of my pill bugs escaped my gecko terrarium during cleaning and my cats found it. Managed to get it back in before they ate it :P

Unions raise wages for ALL workers, by the way.
In the 10 states with the strongest union density in 2020, the average median weekly wages were $1,121.70 — that’s almost $180 more a week than workers in the states with the lowest union densities.
