@martinhollis probably! I'd definitely learn more. maybe some day I'll go into academia and have a chance
-
@GalaxyKate oh, this looks interesting! though I think if I was running the class I'd focus on more characteristically digital methods (vectors, pixel-blitting, aliasing, prerendered CG, deep dream, etc...)

(or a similar course, but focused on Minecraft. maybe it's too recent to have enough secondary sources to lean on, though?)

via @nachimir, this youtube video demonstrating the Boring Company's vision for the future youtu.be/QXrlRhYriN0
-
this style of video is really familiar to me - because about a year ago, i made a playlist of all the design fiction videos i could find on youtube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX0BQnJh0dEzYUHjUd9oiCxfHLCIRYUQR&disable_polymer=true
-
and one thing that i learned from them is: they're genrally pretty boring. the future they project is the same as the future we have now, just with more touchscreens. we don't need more touchscreens! we have enough!
-
in the case of Elon Musk's magical tunnels - let's revolutionise transport! by adding a monkeypatched solution that still lets us drive cars everywhere. i mean, this makes sense, as he also owns a car company.
-
and generally these videos are made by successful companies with a similar vested interest in things being pretty much the same in the future. maybe we buy some more things (touchscreens? why not touchscreens)
-
(also: quick note on the tunnels specifically: they're a stupid idea. think about the density of people that can be transported this way versus underground trains. think about which would cost more to build. also, cars are a bad idea in cities)
-

@ragekit @LorenzoPilia this is interesting! I once tried to make something Floyd-Steinberg like by accumulating error in another texture, but never got it working
-
@LorenzoPilia ah, the scribbly little sand-grain texture is so evocative up close, though! Bayer gives up it's secrets too easily.
-
@lorenschmidt @ragekit (untagging Lorenzo, though maybe he's into this chat?) Bayer-likes the answer is clearly yes? I mean, any evenly distributed random noise would work okay. Error accumulating - idk. I guess there's not even really a base pattern?
-
@ragekit yeah, FS just doesn't work calculated pixel-by-pixel. It also looks weird/noisy done on animated stuff, as there's no consistency frame-by-frame. I remember that post on Obra Dinn's spherical dither maps, will have to have a play at some point.

@mcclure111 @tomslominski the main difference for me between Python/Lua & JS/PHP is that JS/PHP is much easier to deploy. it's just a file in a place and something added to some HTML and then it works
-
@mcclure111 @tomslominski i don't think Lua or Python is worse for beginning coders - if you're either writing a console script (unlikely?), an interactive notebook (for scientists), or already have a good game engine setup with Lua hooked up nicely (see Pico-8 and I'm sure a bunch of mod tools). rarer.

hot take: one of the biggest problems with speech synthesis is that the output stresses the wrong words - either you need to do elaborate and delicate annotation or machines need to have something like a sense of the meaning of what they read

@lazerwalker so i mean also i've been playing around with <emphasis> just now and i dunno if it's because i lack practice or it's an even harder problem, but i still can't make the stresses work out

also, it turns out gif/video support is a whole other battle, and i have no more weekend to spend diving into the depths of chunked media uploads... but images are cool enough for now.

@artlung ah, i like that you can do that...

contemplating a feature, googling for how to implement it, clicking on a Stack Overflow link, reading & comprehending all the answers, deciding it's awful and not implementing the feature

the current thing we're doing, where we're ignoring copyright & provenance of the thousands of images we're using to train neural nets... is probably bad? idk. copyright law is also bad, but algorithmic laundering is probably not the answer
-
also laws that hinge upon whether artistic depictions (of sometimes fictional characters) are of legal age... have obvious problems? people's fixation on canon doesn't get better when it is given legal force
-
@mcclure111 it's a concern! my current reading of the situation is: - it'll take years for people to determine the legal status, one way or another - enough people (rich enough companies) are ploughing ahead, it'll be a collective problem, not just yours
-
@digitalsqand @mcclure111 there's related stuff about numbers not being copyrightable, and digital files existing as very long numbers...
-
@digitalsqand @mcclure111 but also (while I am pretty sure this does not enter into the legal test at all) there's information-theoretic stuff about noise and signal that probably applies here. a computer program that displays a coke logo clearly vs with 50% randomly perturbed pixels, vs 100%...

@stcymsn talking about putting more narrative into stuff at Sensible Object - but we're still making fun boardgames. so it always has to be be light & not hold up the game & come secondary to the other people you're playing with
