 Not too enthusiastic about seeing Gavin Newsom become the frontrunner for the Democrats. Just read his bio and there are so many negatives there, from his close ties to the Getty oil fortune to a history of womanizing to them being able to hang every bad thing about California around his neck.

Jon Stewart probably won't run but IMO Democrats should be looking for people outside the typical roster of Democrat machine politicians.

topic_title: Generative Art

post:
 New stuff. Got some test prints back from Artelo, all of which I was thrilled with but their Hahnemühle German Etching paper is amazing. Great texture that works on its own without my using texture in the images, but looks even better when I do. I've been learning so much about POD, just trying to get things up and running without mistakes. Etsy shop will be up hopefully by early September. Working on a Squarespace site for a non-Etsy presence; will integrate print sales into that if I have success on Etsy. I'm the king of realistic expectations so I'm under no delusions that this is gonna take off quickly or at all. It's just fun to truly be enjoying all the art I'm malikg, and if other people like it, that's fantastic.

As always, many thanks for your compliments and encouragement since I started posting this project months ago! A few of you are definitely responsible for why I started looking beyond just posting on IG and other social sites and trying to turn this into something bigger. :)

 Social media platforms have been widely linked to societal harms, including rising polarization and the erosion of constructive debate. Can these problems be mitigated through prosocial interventions? We address this question using a novel method - generative social simulation - that embeds Large Language Models within Agent-Based Models to create socially rich synthetic platforms.

 mg33, you don't fancy doing a series of generative works on a gen art platform like https://www.fxhash.xyz/ ?

I think you'd get more appreciation for the fact that the artworks are generated by code here than sales on etsy etc.

I think your works would go down well. Extremely helpful mods in their discord to help get your work up and running.

They have recently relaunched with artcoins and also open-form artworks where there can be multiple generations of the work - like evolution of the same piece.

 How Much Does a Cloud Weigh?

Researchers also calculated that the average cumulus cloud is 1 cubic kilometer, or 1 billion cubic meters, in volume. Multiplying the volume by the density, we discover that our cumulus cloud contains 500,000 kilograms, or 1.1 million pounds, of water droplets. That's the equivalent weight of five adult blue whales.

 the first proper filmclip i worked produced..  like not just random animations..

of course managed to get someone naked in a shower for it..

comment: god just remembering how much effort it was to even edit this back then..  720p even..  had to animate section by section as the masking kept being too much

comment: like would need to export 2-3 mask sections at time because it wouldnt render and playback properly.  was running like a 2007 imac core 2 duo..

 used the same masking technique a few years later on another Deepchild clip.. although this time it was because the motorized dolly i hired failed pretty early into the shoot and i needed to redesign the shoot on the fly ..

 For about seven years there’s been a young homeless guy outside the supermarket I go to. His line was always the same - “excuse me sir, do you have any spare change?” I’d occasionally hand him something from inside, since I never carry cash.

I’ll admit it often grated on me – he’d ask on the way in and again on the way out. I’d sometimes remind myself “there but for the grace of God go I,” but truthfully I was more irritated than compassionate most days. Not exactly proud of that.

Other people would sometimes stop to chat with him.

Today I went past and saw flowers and a note in the spot he always sat. He’d died, apparently after a short illness.

It hit me harder than expected – maybe guilt, maybe the sudden finality of it – but it lingers more than I would have thought.

Putting aside the possibility of Trump somehow being compromised (as far fetched as it sounds, it's impossible to rule out), it's increasingly obvious to me that he simply doesn't understand Putin as a person.

Trump spent time in Moscow in 2013 for his Miss Universe pageant, and would have learned a lot about how the Russian state functions from the oligarchs who hosted him.

Putin is effectively the head of the world's largest organised crime syndicate, and as someone who spent his career working in casinos and real estate development, I suspect Trump recognised a "mob boss" and genuinely thought that he knew how to deal with him.

Immediately following the failed meeting in Anchorage, Trump lamented the missed economic opportunities that could have been explored between the two nations.
My suspicion is that Trump offered Putin trade deals or investment opportunities, perhaps ones that both men could personally profit from, in exchange for a Ukrainian peace deal that would have handed Trump a massive political victory. I think Trump is genuinely frustrated and confused as to why Putin isn't interested.
But understanding Putin the criminal is only understanding half the man. Russia expert Anne Applebaum said in a recent interview that the biggest thing the West fails to understand about Putin is just how extremist he is in his quasi-religious nationalist ideology.

To understand Putin's mindset, we need to discuss a little known 1997 book by a Russian neo-fascist and political philosopher named Alexandr Dugin, a man so closely associated with the belief systems and values of Vladimir Putin that he became colloquially known as "Putin's brain".

Dugin has spent his life warning of the evils of liberalism and democracy, and insisted that only Russia could save humanity through the advancement of Christian Russian Orthodox values.

The book provides the blueprint for how Russia could fight "the battle for the world rule of Russians". It laid out in detail how Russia needed to use information warfare, economic power, and military force, to establish a new Eurasian Empire.
It's been used a textbook in schools, indoctrinating a generation of Russians into a belief that the Russians had a God given right to rule the world from the "third Rome" (Moscow), and that notions like democracy and civil liberties were a uniquely Western invention that were bordering on satanic.

It called for Georgia, most of the Baltic States, Finland, and Central Asia to be annexed into this new empire though force, while Belarus and Moldova are expected to voluntarily join after a decades long propaganda onslaught.

He was adamant that an independent Ukraine could not exist if Russia was truly going to become a superpower, arguing that "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics".

Western Europe, meanwhile, would become a collection of weakened vassal states, subordinate to Russia's will, and argued that to achieve this Russia could help fund and organise a collection of right wing political parties to infiltrate and erode liberal democracy from within. To achieve this, Dugin suggested finding ways to weaken the NATO alliance, culminating in the removal of US military presence in Europe.
But perhaps most disturbing is Dugin's vivid advice on how Russia could subdue the greatest impediment to Russian ambitions, the great defender of the liberal values Dugin despised... the USA.

He argued that Russia should use special services to "...introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics'."

The book was written in 1997.
Vladimir Putin became Russian President in 2000. He's had 25 years to put this plan into place. He is not going to abandon his life's work for some sanctions relief and a trade deal.

Ukraine announced it has begun serial production of a cruise missile said to carry a 1,000-kg warhead.
The Flamingo is rumored to have a range of 1,800 miles and looks to be a huge conventional weapon.
A missile of such range and power could allow strikes on vital production hubs deep inside Russia.

 I've been so irritated w/having to move to eastern side of the USA these last 4 years that I've basically made fun of everything around me and middle-fingered every 'historical' spot as I drive through 'old' New England.

For a while I've seemed to find issue w/every restaurant, store, roadway, public park etc etc... I've just been a little bitch all butthurt w/having to relocate that I've become cliché in my ability to find fault with everything.

I was informed the other night over a beer that this dopey little mountain near me (if you can call it a 'mountain') of which the peak isn't even 20km from my home as the crow flies, is actually the 2nd most climbed / hiked mountain ...on the PLANET (behind Mt Fuji).

I called 'bullshit' while laughing / snorting my hazy IPA all over myself. Dude pulled up all sorts of tourist crap / wikipedia stuff / news articles etc etc showing it to be 'true' (I still call bullshit but there's some truth to its popularity).

For the last four years I've referred to the mountain as Mt 'My Nads Knock' as it's called Mt 'Monadnock'. The word is overused to name every other business in the region (eg-'Monadnock Towing'.)... I was bored of the word / idea of this mountain 15 minutes after moving here.

I'm suddenly intrigued... turns out people like Emerson, Thoreau... even Lovecraft loved the place, frequented and wrote about it.

There's also a number of fun conspiracy documentaries and New England historical 'stuff' out there that's actually interesting enough that I'm contemplating calling it by its actual name and MAYBE even going and hiking some it's trails.

 I had one of these for ~9 years before it gave up on me, tried a whole bunch of others but ended up buying the same one again.

https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/p…

Sold by Oster as 'Prima Latte' and by Mr. Coffee as 'Cafe Barista', possibly available under other brands.

What's good about it: Little to go wrong - you tamp the grounds, press a button and walk away. There's no counting out the seconds during a pull, there's no standing around frothing the milk. You push a button after a small amount of prep, and you get a delicious espresso/cappuccino/latte. But it's not completely automatic. I've got snobby friends with $1000+ machines and it seems they are always breaking in some way. I think mine is the right balance - not completely manual, but not much to go wrong

What went wrong in 9 years: I had to buy new portafilters a few times as they gradually clog. We do maybe 5 double espressos every day in the household, and I think I bought a new filter 2 times, so ~5000 coffees before replacing. After 9 years the pump quit on it - maybe an electrical fault as it died all of a sudden.

I got mine with a burr grinder as a packaged set. 11years without issue. https://www.oster.ca/on/demandwa…
I don't grind super fine as the espresso maker can't produce enough pressure for that.

I also have a Mokka pot, which is a whole other experience, but makes a nice cup of coffee and is great for taking camping.

post:
 Inside the Memphis Community Battling Elon Musk’s xAI

ve days after Elon Musk’s Grok 4 became one of the most powerful large language models in the world, Alexis Humphreys had her first severe asthma attack in 15 years. She laid down in her house in Boxtown, Memphis in the humid, sticky summer, struggling to breathe, inhaling a smell of gas that had started wafting into her neighborhood about a year before. “It felt like my chest was caving in,” Humphreys, 28, says on her front porch a couple of days later.

Environmentalists and community activists say this is no coincidence. Boxtown, a predominantly Black community with a median income of $37,000, sits a few miles from where Musk, driven by ambitions of creating an AI smarter than humans, set up the self-proclaimed biggest supercomputer in the world last year. The supercomputer, named Colossus, consisted of a staggering 230,000 Nvidia GPUs, a sheer training power that allowed Musk to vault past his competitors in key benchmarks. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, another AI titan, praised Musk’s rapid buildout of the site as “superhuman.”

But all of those computers need a vast amount of energy to run. Fueling them has been 35 unpermitted temporary gas turbines, which have been pumping out a level of emissions that, according to environmentalists, is exacerbating the health issues of an area already crushed by decades of pollution.

post:
 The world’s wealthiest 10% caused two thirds of global warming since 1990.

Wealthy individuals have a higher carbon footprint. A new study published in Nature Climate Change quantifies the climate outcomes of these inequalities. It finds that the world’s wealthiest 10% are responsible for two thirds of observed global warming since 1990 and the resulting increases in climate extremes such as heatwaves and droughts.

The study assesses the contribution of the highest emitting groups within societies and finds that the top 1% of the wealthiest individuals globally contributed 26 times the global average to increases in monthly 1-in-100-year heat extremes globally and 17 times more to Amazon droughts.

The research sheds new light on the links between income-based emissions inequality and climate injustice, illustrating how the consumption and investments of wealthy individuals have had disproportionate impacts on extreme weather events. These impacts are especially severe in vulnerable tropical regions like the Amazon, Southeast Asia, and southern Africa – all areas that have historically contributed the least to global emissions.

comment: And the profit-hungry CEOs of current UK energy suppliers are all stand-up citizens with the same beliefs as you and tha you'd have on your Christmas Card list?

comment: Energy suppliers in the UK are an absolute shit-show. A cat amongst the pigeons may not be such a bad thing.

post: This shit will be a problem for real relationships. And no, this is not a real relationship. But I guess this is inevitable. Real humans are complicated, and these are simply flattery algorithms. You don't want human complications? Well, you can date your laptop. Good luck with that.  I sprained my eyes rolling them.

comment: Mom and dad, this is my girlfriend Nova *boots up laptop*

comment: What do you mean by "not a real relationship"? All relationships are real.

comment: This person has human needs for a relationship with a woman, instead he chooses this sad surrogate. Not real.

comment: Ultimately you can say it's about the relationship with the other people in that subreddit. Would they really be doing this if they couldn't post about it?

comment: @yuekit Interesting thought, but I think they would. These AI "partners" (seemingly) satisfy a need for genuine human connection...

comment: ...in the same way as porn satisfies a need for sex. Do AI "partners" serve a purpose? Yes. Do they answer your deep human longing for connection?

 haha, funny for me to see this pop up as I've been listening to them again in the mornings when I wake up too early the last couple of days.

I listened to the Mongols one y'day (didn't realise it was 6 fucking hours, jesus!) and the rise and fall of Carthage this morning, with the latter having an obviously-cheery ending... .

I was literally just joking about this with my partner on Whatsapp as fam's away at the moment (hence me waking up early as I fall asleep very early when they're not around, sad old git that I am :) )

comment: Great thing about them is - no fucking ads on Spotify, whereas all the others have the same fucking ads for some recruitment website, the name of which I'm ..

comment: ..happy, and surprised, to not recall. I've heard/skipped that same ad so many times this year too.

comment: They're pretty easy listening, seems each one he expands a bit more, defo going to take me a wee while to get through the Mongols one. :-)

topic_title: Architecture of the Day

post:
-
Dr Phene’s House of Mystery, No. 2 Upper Cheyne Row, Chelsea. 17 c. 1920. Tucked away on the corner of Upper Cheyne Row once stood one of Chelsea’s strangest landmarks. Dr. John Samuel Phene, an eccentric architect and antiquarian, began building his five-storey “Gingerbread Castle” around 1903. He designed it as a grand “Château,” complete with ornate details, curious inscriptions, and a dramatic façade that quickly fascinated and puzzled locals.

Phene never actually lived inside his creation. Instead, he filled the garden with statues and artefacts collected from his travels, turning the grounds into a kind of outdoor museum. The mix of theatrical architecture and curious displays made the house a neighbourhood spectacle and secured Phene’s reputation as one of Chelsea’s most colourful characters.

After his death in 1912, the Château stood empty and unfinished. In 1924 it was demolished, and new houses were built on the site. Although the building itself is long gone, Chelsea still remembers its eccentric builder, whose name survives at The Phene pub nearby.
