@norvid_studies opus just fixed a couple of subtle animation bugs that I had been putting off for a decade because the code had gotten too unpleasant.
if it sucks 95% of the pain out of programming it is welcome to 90% of the joy.

@nizzaneela @moultano @exploratorium it’s called a museum though it isn’t collecting rare objects which is why kids can play with the exhibits.
I saw a great talk by Ned Kahn once, maintenance in general and kidproofing in particular were big themes.

@norvid_studies @odoreida @tr_babb I am gardening for the wildlife anyway but eg if you don’t fence the young oaks they have a tough time getting tall enough to satisfy limitless acorn demand

@odoreida @tr_babb @norvid_studies I think young mammals are very interested in what mom is eating.
Birds actually get food stuffed in their mouth.
The “deer resistant” plants get sampled every year anyway.

@lion_tender @norvid_studies @lefineder @cruelsardaukar the original merry-go-round is long gone but we believe the pony in the center would occupy that space for 365 and one quarter turns before some sort of ritual took place

Speaking of GEB, my favorite talk at SPLASH this year was by @_k_a_c_h_ on Gauguin, Descartes, Bayes.

Instead of constructing a quine / Gödel sentence, @_k_a_c_h_ shows how to construct a gauguine -- a probabilistic program that infers its own source code.

The word “foam” is so much better than “slop”.
The foam metaphor points at the real problem and almost quantifies it. Foaming is also a great verb.

@moultano Audubon’s paintings have always looked more painfully contorted than naturally active to me. Never thought to check it before but sure enough he was posing dead birds with wires.

[Écorché @3corch3]

@moultano I suspect audubon style transfer onto iNaturalist images would work, certainly better than this.

@codetaur You’ve got a really strong diurnal signal in there, you can get flowier if you want by using a higher vertical level
