Apparently _The Devil Wears Prada 2_ includes an “AI meme” in the fiction, that was actually created by a person. Like, "No AI was used in creating this motion picture. Scenes which may appear to include LLM-created images were simulated by a human artist." Kudos to the staff and studio.
It was a good day for customizing my possessions! I put a sticker on my new desk chair to make it more yomikoma-ish and a patch on my art bag that I have been holding onto for years.

I follow this random image generator because sometimes it comes up with some nice things like this lovely denim texture. @poptimal@llull.club

@oysta I have been thinking that I kind of want some of these format wars like Unicode, VHS, and container shipping to be handled kind of like religions every so often, so you get a bonus from adopting the winner early.

@djamilaknopf that’s a fine brush! I figured it was a micron pen from how steady the line is :)

@djamilaknopf this is so cozy! I was wondering - do you ink before painting, after, or both?

@Canageek I’ve been saying for decades that things would eventually be as big as their interfaces needed to be, no larger or smaller. Some companies aren’t getting it right.

@joshg@mathstodon.xyz I do in fact play Minecraft sometimes - I will have to check that mod out. Thank you!

@noneuclideandreamer@mathstodon.xyz ooh! It’s nice how many of the maze algorithms will work for arbitrary connectivities.

@th yeah, that’s what I figured. I think adding stroke-linecap="round" would give a better result with no miters needed. Or if you really want the vector effect, a small circle with a radius of like 0.6 times the stroke width at both ends of each line.

@wdenton@cosocial.ca @infobeautiful@vis.social with the bias towards recent movies I am guessing not.

@baabbaash@mathstodon.xyz is it a result of your algorithm that the start and end points are a knight’s move away from each other if the board wraps around?

@thevhswizard@retro.pizza @Crazypedia@pagan.plus look at what’s out there, do some doodling, and then get it down in inkscape. If you don’t copy any particular circle you’re not going to accidentally recreate one.

@beeps@social.beeps.gay @optozorax@mathstodon.xyz IIUC atoms, molecules, and structures are mostly empty space held together by forces that push and pull so depending on the curvature and the strength of these forces, you might be just fine as depicted here, or you might not as also depicted here :) I think you would feel it as a force pushing back long before you got fusion.
