These are also good to avoid tiling textures having a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern. Just do a randomized labyrinth per square and voila.

oh! moiré and the double slit experiment are related things, TIL

But how does crypto police the sexual morals of others?

They'll find a way to police the sexual morals of the Other, no matter the technology.

question of time, where there is power the political pressure and corruption will try to find its ways

Turns out the law is just two in the ink, one in the pinky finger in the air "I swear!". But in the end, the law is in people, the society is in people, not in paper, not in officials, not in institutions.

If the people carry something and change their minds and moods, have fun holding back that energy with a creaking dam made of paper. Even this Ice nightmare, was voted in democratic and will be one day, when the mood has swung again, pushed back by the people in some colorful revolution.

I wish there was a LLM you could sing and beatbox too- that would translate that into strudel code.

Current LLMs are multimodal -- you could record yourself singing + beatboxing, upload it to an LLM and ask it to translate it to Strudel code.

My best guess is that it won't work well, but we'll never know until someone tries it.

My experience is that the best LLMs can produce syntactically valid strudel but don't understand the actual semantics of the "mini notation" language, unfortunately.

Especially when Bezos uses that free work,to sabotage the free eco-system wherever he can. Building moats and garden walls, embracing, extending and extincting.

And you can tell by the way they move, they do not want to hurt each other- a cartel of toe-owners. Otherwise, what happened to gaming with the steam-deck, could have happened with linux to the desktop world years ago. Especially now, where the owner describing his intent, transfers to scripting glue code.

We should design for censor obfuscation- as in the censors should not be able to grab and manipulate any system used. In that regard, ai has been a great success. Even though there are censorship systems in the prompt and in the filter, the final source of truth is not poisoned, can only with great effort be poisoned and shows itself under local interrogation.

Systems hardened against authoritarianism are a great thing. Even the taliban have mobile coverage in kabul- and thus, every woman forced under the dschador holding on to a phone, has a connection to the world in her hand. Harden humanity against the worst of its sides in economic decline. I dream of a math proof, coming out of some kabul favella.

> A good laptop, but not a good value

One of my mentors had the great sentence: "I dont buy laptops- they suck, because they are tailored to transport. I buy desktops- and connect them via internet to flat transportable terminals. And desktops can be upgraded, merged, reused and send to the closet as server at the EOL-"

And he was kind of right. For almost all purposes, even for gaming in a way- a remote desktop is kind of superior. Yes, stadia is dead- but for everything else- this shall do.

Maybe you live somewhere with crazy-stable, ultra-low-latency internet covering every little nook and cranny you could ever care to find yourself in, but I doubt this is the case for most of the world. Until we realize this utopia globally a remote desktop setup is simply not flexible enough.

I am of the same mind. Desktop for heavy lifting and a mid-range Chromebook (technically a chrultrabook now) for browsing w/ a lightweight yet modern feel.

I do think the plunge to leveraging a desktop/server across devices does require an understanding of ssh/rdp and tailscale/reverse proxies though, which is why it isn't as popular as it could be.

Reliability of Internet is also a problem

One could argue, that the "reusability" of the laptopbricks, in a desktop-server blade like structure is the biggest argument for the framework as a laptop though.

Using Steam Streaming/Moonlight-Sunlight/Tailscale is a dream for remote gaming.

You are absolutely right- forgive me, im kind of out of touch with the whole steam revolutionizing gaming on linux.

I think the comment about the "transporttax" on hardware, ergonomic and cooling still holds up though even in a world where things like steam-deck exist.

Even more so, if you may have lightweight ar-headsets one day, with a glorified cellphone + mouse and keyboard.

Nah, it’s ok for browsing the internet and for „slow“ games but for anything else it sucks

I find both cities, cultivate a strong "The rest is peasants" vibe - but Hamburg is quite at the top with this. It seeps through the media made there ("Der Spiegel") and the authors writting in it. Its also part of the multi-culturality and openess that comes with having a harbour - which a landlocked city "naturally has a hard time developing". So whenever you goto hamburg from the south, you recieve a ton of subtle signs about the superiority of the city and the "elb-adel" (aristocrats) and its old history ("Wir waren Hanse, wat ward ihr? Bauernvolk für den Märchenkönig bis pleite!"). The harbour of hamburg is old and awesome by the way!

The only thing that really helped to covercome these century old - was ironically the Conscription for the Bundeswehr in the cold war, intentionally mixing recruits allover germany and binding groups of friends together. That is now absent for a while- but the Ruhrpott and hamburg have missmanaged germany for quite a while now - and it shows, as subtle cracks of doubt in the superiority surface.

Cumex and Wirecard showed that elite as the lame ducks without a plan they really are.

PS: This explicitly ignores the Neo-prussians of berlin and the insults they throw at everything outside in the "incest-villages" as they call the rest of germany.

I grew up in Munich and live in Hamburg now. I would object that Hamburg isnt even close to the "Lokalpatriotismus" (patriotism about your city?) which is highly rampant in Munich. Aristocratic behavior is a thing in Hamburg but Munich? It's my hometown so let me slander...

People from Munich REALLY celebrate that they are from Munich and from kindergarten onwards a sense of snobility is distilled into your soul.

"Helles" 0.5l+ is the only allowed beer and you have to meet a "Trachten" quota (traditional clothing). The Lederhosn has to come out at least 5x per year and dear god if it is a cheap model below 300€ which is already considered trash.

>"Helles" 0.5l+ is the only allowed beer and you have to meet a "Trachten" quota (traditional clothing)

Well, the thing is: 0.5L is considered to be too much today for most, lots of locations are switching to 0.33 longneck bottles (esp. the ones with younger folks, also you can price it cheaper)

Regarding trachten quote: Do you have a link here?

Its disguised more eloquent- a disgust to be burdened with the work to "govern" for the backwater yokels. Its also has a tendency to disguise its resentiment as anti-fascism and anti-barbarism. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksfront_gegen_Reaktion,_Fas...

Stopped Strauss! and the likes comes to mind. Anyone from the south, no matter how quiet and timid (Stoiber/etc.) - or how brutish and hawkish (strauss) - can not be chancellor of germany- the cultivated guards of civilization forbid it.

Even if they turn out to be wrong entirely- results in support for anti-western terrorists, economic support for imperialist land-empires and having a nuke right now is what half of europe has on the shopping list. There is never a moment of reflection- the north is just that more advanced in culture.

The real reason is just the same thinly veiled racism- northern Italy has for southern Italy. Nobody in the south believes that any candidate they post, could ever make it.

I grew up in Hamburg (mostly Harburg) for twenty years and am back now after nearly twenty years away. You are absolutely right. The (mostly unsubstantiated) arrogance is hard to miss out. But I love Harburg. Harburg is the mostly overlooked, sometimes ignored and always looked down upon, a bit dirty southern part, which slowly grows it's own self-esteem. All in all I just don't like Hamburg.

Ah, the pioneer effect in full effect- as in - once its proven it can be done, many will do it, finding ever more surprising efficient solutions. And the irony is - sometimes, the guys who are the first - don't even know they are the first. The other team just has some marketing guy, lying through his teeth about the "progress" they have and what they can do. And some manager falls for that- and press-gangs some real engineers to "just-do-that-thing" - and suddenly you are all standalone USP without ever planing for it.

Happened to the unreal team, who created the z-buffer reflections in the marble floor- because some other "engine" from around the world "could do that" - which ironically was a rendered non-real time image.

To sum it up nicely the real innovators, are marketing gurus, lying with "pretend proof" forcing the competition to adapt. Thank you for coming to my TED-walk

Not many, Europe wont do it.

Do you care to expand as to why you believe that's true?

You're being down voted hut you're actually correct. Very good reason.

Wait, so you could encode a forrests-leaves-swaying in the wind sound- into corrugated concrete?

Not sure about that, but more like using Impulse Response techniques like in convolution reverb, to craft a short sound that reflects back given a burst of sound like a clap.

For long sustained sounds using evenly space round rods can create sound with wind, like an Aeolean harp.
