Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

this is otis!! he is HIDDEN you can NOT see him right now

I put a slightly too warm/wet tea bag into the trash the other day

it's impossible to use my fancy camera to take pictures of @gumpy.acegikmo.com she's always way too close and zip zoopy and intensely cuddly

i love posting images on this site

for example - let's say I'm doing freelance work, and I want to put my own repo in a subfolder of my client's project like, it's *technically* possible with submodules but it's so impractical because now I have to burden my client with "don't forget to florb the glorb every time you pull"

I wish git had submodules but like, instead of not working, they would work

spent the entire last week trying to twist my sleep cycle back to normal. last night I finally went to bed at midnight! ..but then slept for *14 hours* so now I'm right back where I started 😭

There will always be people who appreciate what YOU make, it just might take them a while to find you.

numbered weeks (1 to 52) and the scandinavian mile (10 km) are pretty useful things I pretty much never see used outside of sweden

hey maybe just, remove it? is there even a single good use case for the public to access something like this? it's a machine for lies, guardrails or not

UPDATE: After the publication of this piece, Google sent 404 Media a statement saying it was “rolling back this feature in Google Earth while we work on implementing stronger guardrails.” www.404media.co/google-earth...

Usually I'd be concerned if someone had multiple accounts for their cats, but I enjoy Freya's psychosis.

i wish @contrapoints.bsky.social was real 😔 I just dreamt we were talking philosophy at a loud mall while trying to get food at a restaurant whose menu was only available in an annoying VR headset

scrambling to claim the last remaining piece of my pillow as the cats are spilling over left and right

..... ... ?

trying to work out which obscure combination of settings and layered configurations is causing a specific line break to happen in one project but not another when autoformatting in rider, while sleep deprived, is one of the worst experiences I've ever had I do not recommend it

ah it broke but like in a pretty way

My parents are away for a few days and they asked me to take care of their cats and I realized how much I missing having a cat on my own. Had cats my entire childhood.

some transformation matrices for you to ponder

So instead, we fit *tori* to each point, because tori (1) have efficient closed-form SDFs, (2) can locally approximate surfaces up to second order (spherical, ellipsoidal, saddle). In 2D, we'd use circles; in 3D, tori generalize circles to two curvature directions. [24/35]

I'll never forgive whoever decided a "3x4 matrix" has a width of 4 and a height of 3, instead of the other way around

gumpy now has her own account! (i think she's trying to emotionally manipulate you to follow her)

I saw @jackconte.bsky.social 's talk about AI and I have a lot of thoughts it's a good example where the distinction between craftsmanship vs artistry vs creativity is a very useful lens as for why some saw it as an anti-AI talk and some saw it as a pro-AI talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=17_H...

your personal data has now been collected by gumpy and there's nothing you can do about it

part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening
