Romeo Rucha - Stay Calm (Jan 2023)
cerebral, irreverent, funky, and guaranteed to crack a few smiles
Imagine Autotune the News, Blue Man Group and Emergency Broadcast Network are fighting in a smallish box. Heaps of creative shifted, re-timed and glitched samples of spoken word and catchy underlying beats and sounds.
I don't want this played at my funeral because I won't hear it. Play it NOW!
show @romeorucha some fedi love

How wonderful it is that everyone, great and small, can immediately help bring about justice by giving of themselves!”

Observing Exoplanets: What Can We Really See?
Exoplanets are far away, and they are often obscured by the bright light of the stars they orbit. So, taking pictures of them the same way you'd take pictures of, say, Jupiter or Venus, isn't easy.Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System

ChatGPT Is a Bullshit Generator Waging Class War
ChatGPT isn't really new but simply an iteration of the class war that's been waged since the start of the industrial revolution.Dan McQuillan (VICE)
.@irwindev posted this after @ashedryden and I ended up reading it. The article succinct and short, IMO. My takeaway quotes are:
"Saying, as the OpenAI CEO does, that we are all 'stochastic parrots' like large language models, statistical generators of learned patterns that express nothing deeper, is a form of nihilism"
"Transformer models and diffusion models are not creative but carceral - they and other forms of AI imprison our ability to imagine real alternatives"

Gawker solved the pizza formula back in 2015: actsofvolition.com/2022/10/how…
What if some of the people are adults and some are kids? Large pizzas or Medium? No more questions! Just use the formula, and round up to the nearest pizza. It works. Your quality of life will improve.
How many pizzas should I order?
For all its sordid history, the gossip-news site Gawker left us with a lasting gem: The “How Many Pizzas Should You Order” formula. It’s elegant in its simplicity: (# of people) × 3/8. Image from Gawker.Acts of Volition
suspect the formula given for slices of pizza is a bit miserly. Anyway, it doesn’t include relevant constants.
X * Pi + X ÷ e
if you want to be a bit more miserly, divide by Pi instead of e
