If this interests you, it’s worth taking a look at Genetic Programming. I find it to be a simpler approach at the same problem, no math required. It simply recombines programs by their AST, and given some heuristic, optimizes the program fo

There is also a Python implementation in the repo. I’m using Kubelka-Munk for pigment mixing, but the gradients it produces are so lovely that it really should be used in generative art more.

The title put on here is very misleading, the actual title from the article is “Fish fed to farmed salmon should be part of our diet, too, study suggests”.

I bought a used EV back in 2016 (2013 Leaf, certified preowned from dealer, just off 3 year lease), and negotiated 25% off asking price, coming in at $9k. I have had $0 in maintenance costs, the battery health meter (and approx range) is st

Not true, I have had exes with IUIs and they all had crippling pain and much worse cramping with them. In every case I talked them into get rid of the IUI, and the pain went away. The best birth control method (as defined by least side effe

See Josef Alber’s Interaction of Color for more information and studies of relative color. It’s a fascinating subject and color theory is very useful for UX and getting more bang with less colors. ( https://yalebooks.yale.edu&#x2F

Click bait, the article is written about a median of 500 sampled rivers and lakes in the US. Those could be anything (such as one of numerous superfund site runoff waterways). If you fish, check your local state fish and wildlife department

Maybe it’s time to end variable pay and tipping in the US. It’s ridiculous that restaurant owners can pay waiters less than minimum wage and assume that tips will make the difference in salary (saying nothing of tip theft).

Yes on all accounts. Single family home asking price is dropping (seems to be around 2019 asking prices), however mortgage costs are increasing faster (due to the Fed increasing rates to combat inflation). Renting is generally more affordab

This is definitely a killer feature on Discord for remote working. Being able to see who is in a room, join ad hoc, and work along side them has greatly reduced communication friction, and I’ve grown to love using (basically only) Discord o

I still use my Pixel Qi display from 10 years ago, love the thing. I’m glad people are still working to make reflective display computing a thing.

Bummer, I’ve been a fan of Brother in the past. Owned two monochrome laser printers that have been great over 10 years of service with not a single paper jam.
