#Apple needs to fix their multiple monitor code, when I update MacOS it changes two of my monitors from portrait to landscape, and to add insult to injury when coming back from sleep it moves my windows around randomly to different monitors, it is driving me bonkers! grr

#debugging an assortment of AKOS costumes in their encoded form is oddly satisfying... (also I want this to watch all my memory allocations this way from now on)

projection of a bunch points with some kind of symmetry. The noise on the left produces point cloud on the right. #noise #colorful

TIL that the SF bay area #CHP and #caltrans have #FSP (freeway service patrol). Dial 511 and say 'FREEWAY ASSIST'. ( fsp-bayarea.org ). I am happy to see my tax dollars at work helping people.

SynAck, 5 months ago to random

Let's play a little game! In the interest of building community (and if you'd be willing to share), answer these 2 questions:

1. What does your username/alias mean?
2. How/Why did you choose that one?

I'm really curious to hear where some of y'all's names came from! I'll start.

1. SYN-ACK is the second step in the TCP handshake process (SYN -> SYN-ACK -> ACK). The SYN-ACK packet is the server's acknowledgement that the client's request has been received, and also sets a sequence number for server responses so that the client knows what packets are coming from the server.

2. I chose this for a couple of reasons:

   • I'm a software dev by trade, so I wanted something geeky and technical-sounding
   • It has my initials embedded in it
   • It metaphorically captures the concept of either posting a toot of my own (which is "ACK"ed by anyone who responds to it) or reading someone else's toot (replying to someone else's toot, thus "SYN-ACK"ed, well, by me :bec_grin: ).
   • An alternate version that I toyed with, SinAck, could tie into the Shadowrun concept of runners being SINless (where SIN == System Identification Number). Might still do that sort of shenanigans in my display name from time to time now that I've been here for a while. :bec_wink:​

This is the "gingerbreadman map", made by iterating (x,y) = (1 - y + abs(x), x)

(yes, really)

Since #gemini pro was added to #bard have you tried it? I wasn't blown away, the last year of change has dulled me to such things.. But it does give me hope that widely available models will be very useful.

lardratboy, 6 months ago to random

Some of the themed models that people are producing fascinating. What a time to be alive! https://huggingface.co/Pclanglais/MonadGPT

#dalle3 has trouble with my handle but sometimes mistakes are fun :-)

lardratboy, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to aiart

Thoughts on #aiart in #gamedev? Which way is the wind blowing today? feel free to boost I'm curious.

lardratboy, 8 months ago to gamedev

spore creature creator, any modern analog to this out there being worked on? (ideally one that allows exports and that can be used in other works) #gamedev #3d
