It is simply massive...and very old. At least 1300 years. "Gosha Myojin no Okusu" (The Great Camphor Tree of Gosha Myojin) is 131 feet high or 40 metres, and is an extant example of Shinbutsu-shugo (the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism) inside Zentsuji Temple.

Mi curso obligatorio (de malla) es a las 8:30AM. Va 20%. Sin embargo, el grupo que se forma me da esperanza. Participan, se motivan, dan feedback. Aprendemos. Creo que el problema no es la IA sino de las actitudes que la sociedad completa está valorando más (y que la IA amplifica, ofcors).

Dr. Joseph J. Thiebes@thiebes.bsky.social · last mo.

Two weeks ago I released curved-text, a small library for drawing labels that follow arbitrary curves in Matplotlib. The response was overwhelming. That attention led to a lot of careful refinement. #Python #Matplotlib #DataViz #OpenSource #ScientificPython

GitHub - thiebes/curved-text: Draw text along an arbitrary curve in matplotlib, with arc-length positioning and a perpendicular offset.

"The universal lies in the particular" is a well-known motto which seems completely arcane to video game execs. It's also yet another instance of why gen AI cannot take over the role of human creators, since its output is generic and bland.

Shigeru Miyamoto says the games that resonate most with players all around the world aren’t those deliberately designed for global appeal, but those based on a developer’s personal interests. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/miyamot...

57 years ago today, humans first landed on the Moon. The source code that helped get them there? It’s on GitHub. Margaret Hamilton led the MIT team responsible for Apollo’s onboard flight software. (Image credit: Draper Laboratory; restoration by Adam Cuerden, via Wikimedia Commons.)

RE the leaving a little on plate which also exists in Vietnam. I remember when a (Western) person insisted on finishing the plate and the VNese person who was hosting thought the guest hadn't eaten enough so added more food. This went on for a few rounds. Like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Tengo una tía que cortó comunicación con la familia. No sé por qué, siempre me tuvo cariño. Debe haber asunto que no logro imaginar. Ella era la única lectora que conocí en mi infancia. Me gustaba ir a su pieza y fisgonear. A veces le sacaba libros. Demian fue uno de ellos. Me voló la cabeza.

Fun fact: There are dueling Shigeru Miyamoto explanations for how Mario became Italian. Per Wired in 2008, the mustache came first. But per Nintendo Dream in 2020, Miyamoto wanted to draw an Italian character; therefore, Mario got a mustache. www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/mario-1...

‘Some students now view reading as an unnecessarily burdensome way of acquiring knowledge. “By asking them to read,” she said, “professors are arbitrarily withholding information from students by forcing them to get it through this more difficult medium.”’ (gift) www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

The End of Reading Is Here

Optimists once believed that universal literacy was inevitable. Now it seems that the age of reading might be a short anomaly in human history.
