Scatter 2 million particles and move them as
P += sin(P.yzx) - 0.19 * P
and the shape they form is strangely attractive.
@scdollins I wonder what happens if the constants are slowly changed over time - does it morph or does it simply become chaotic jumble
The - 0.19 * P term pulls the particles back towards the center. By weakening that constant, we can see more of the sine wave motion. Too weak just looks like noise, but 0.08 looks particularly nice.
P += sin(P.yzx) - 0.08 * P

When #Earth’s 4 hottest days were recorded in July, #climate scientist #JohanRockström told The Post that the planet was probably the warmest it has been since the last ice age began >100k years ago. Climate clues contained in ice cores, lake sediments & tree rings show that global #temperatures are shifting out of the range they’ve occupied for most of human history.

And now they'll go after #OpenAI and all the other #LLM companies consuming their books. Right? Right??

'Unbreakable' quantum communication closer to reality thanks to new, exceptionally bright photons
https://www.space.com/unbreakable-quantum-communication-bright-photons
Comets are made from a collection of small icy particles that formed in the early Solar System. As they approach the Sun for the first time, tidal forces and radiation pressure cause them to crumble, shedding smaller meteoroids that follow them in orbit. When those meteoroids cross Earth's orbit, we see them as a meteor shower. A new paper suggests that the meteor showers we see can explain the sizes of the particles that went into the formation of the comet.
@SecureOwl we allow it as long as our dog keeps two paws on the ground.
Hot language take:
More languages need sentence modifiers like ね (ja), kan (id) and innit (en-GB) for when you're 99% sure of something but want the listener to be able to confirm or refute the information.
Ex.
今日寒いね?
Hari ini dingin, kan?
Cold today, innit?
Are there other languages that do this that I can marvel at?
@jessie jes.
Malvarme hodiaŭ, ĉu ne?
