Did you know that, even as an adult, and if you like playing with your food, you can buy yourself a gingerbread house and build it!!?

@neauoire this is so cute!! what did you use for the frosting?

Andy Alderwick

@neauoire Looks fabulous! What's in the icing? Making vegan gingerbread should be straightforward, but I don't know what would work for the icing :flan_think:

Odo Tournesol

@neauoire next year you'll have to try and build a solar powered oven to bake your own gingerbread :P

Buying a badass industrial sewing machine was still cheaper than paying someone to do the upholstery for us, and plus we get to keep it at the end of the project and we got so many new little skills along the way. #protip

@neauoire is that a Sail-Rite? With the walking foot?

@neauoire after spending an entire six hour watch repairing a single panel, it seems like a sewing machine would be a good idea.

@neauoire I will most likely spring for one of these machines if/when I finish my proa build. That boat is gonna need a sail.

Working on a toy SECD emulator, can't run the self-hosted compiler yet, but it's getting there.

@neauoire If the runtime detects data the program didn’t deallocate itself correctly and needs to garbage collect, it does it, but then also deletes the offending source code that caused the allocation and leaves a passive aggressive note about it in a notes.txt

@neauoire push all the struct addresses into a queue, have a cron job free() them

So, @rek had a genius idea for a thematic meal for the 24th. We'll make dumplings with millet tourtiere filling.

Dé gyozas a' tourtière!

Now that I know how to add quick dither to stuff, you can be sure that I'll use it everywhere. The magic uxn opcode is EOR2k(non destructive XOR2 on the x,y position)

@neauoire I feel like that poor lady didn't ask for her eyeball to be licked.

@neauoire Is it some Maruo's work (the art) or some other very good artist?

I have a little hole in the wall library next to the nav station where I keep some personal favourites that I like to re-read.

@neauoire .. That Spirals comic. That Ito guy. So ridiculous.

Since it's unlikely that I'll complete my current reading before the year's end. Here's this year's reading catalog, it was a fantastic year, read some of my favourite readings ever.

My absolute highlight has also been the first reading of the year, Maurice Renard's The Blue Peril.

@neauoire Belle liste!
Et dans les non-fictions, quel est ton highlight?

Kototama

@neauoire put "la horde du contrevent" in incoming :) don't read much about it, to avoid spoiler, just read the first chapter and you will probably be hooked

Antharia Jack

@neauoire Oh, you read The Tartar Steppe. Did you like it ?

After learning the neat trick to approximate distances without square root, I wanted to see if I could automate stroke thickness in oekaki for more natural brush-like lines.

Still poking at natural brush dynamics, flipping the values gives either the effect that the pen's ink is thinning and pooling at the corners, or that pressure is increased on longer strokes. This drawing tool packs a lot of fun for 4000 bytes.

@sorenpeter I noticed you removed the webring icon from your website, I'll remove your site from the list, you're welcome to open a new PR if you'd like to rejoin :)

@neauoire these are reminding me of an awesome old computer game I played as a kid on my cousin’s fruity iMac. I had to do some googling, but I found it! It was called “Thinkin’ Things 2” where you could create kinetic pictures looping with music. I was addicted to playing with all of the tools and flipping through their examples.

@neauoire the funky christmassy hyperworms from outer space are here to take over the world, never stop doing them! 🥰

I keep reading blogs of people who are "I don't know what I would do without language models", or "Every part of my daily life has been impacted by AI", and I wonder how? I mean, I've opened midjourney once when it came out and asked it to make some ridiculous thing, and then I tried chatgpt and it answered some nonsense. But is there an angle where it's just part of people's everyday life that I'm totally oblivious to? What do people even use llms for, surely it's more than chatbots no?

@neauoire it's larping the scifi AI future that they assume vN+1 will be

@neauoire I use it sometimes like Google, I don't bother to say "Hello" or "Thank you" to a machine. I just put in "linux function timing in ms" and it gives me C code. Sometimes it doesn't understand you or is wrong, not a magic bullet for sure.

nomand

@neauoire its like a programming interface that uses natural language to code and debug programs, lines of thought and large data sets. You can do anything with it.
I use it all the time for coding. There is zero reason to trawl through poor documentation where all you want is to describe a human readable way to do things that the machine can translate into actual code, help you reason through it and debug it. It's an incredible learning tool and I wouldn't go back to a world without it.
