The editing here is fascinating. I find Midcentury English writing is this odd mix of perfect clarity and stylistic quirks that we understand but never use today.

There are air bags in the suspension that lift the car on demand. This let's you creep around hugging the ground, but you can still do speed bumps.

This person is either showing off, or has a leak somewhere and put it on the ground to avoid drooping

Novels about middle aged white professors of literature who bed a graduate assistant are also speculative fiction, but not very important spec fiction.

Marilou Schultz also created a weaving "Untitled (Unknown Chip)", 2008. Antoine Bercovici identified it for me as the AMD K6 III processor. These weavings are part of an exhibition "Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction". 5/n

A Navajo rug representing an AMD processor chip. This weaving has large rectangular regions. The colors include bright red, two shades of blue, and green.

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. 1/n

A Navajo rug with a complex pattern with muted reds, pinks and blues. The pattern consists of various vertical and horizontal rectangles with stripes. Around the border are small alternating black and colored rectangles. The weaving is mounted in a wooden frame and hanging on the museum wall.

Colorful illustration of a nonbinary Indigenous person in front of the US capitol building. They have a shaved hear, black jeans, and a leather jacket and boots in shades of yellow. A red handprint is painted over their mouth as they crouch in front of a bow of burning sage. The smoke from the sage wafts over the outlines of the capitol building that are drawn in white over a purple and pink background.

This is good. Hardcover is the hall of fame edition. I want to work my way up to this.

Also it sorta feels like the entire issue here is diagnostic ML trying to cheap out on cleaning their training data, and yeah we've tried that, everybody's tried that

Friendly Skeleton @jonathan.eylerwerve.com · 1d

And it's symptomatic of LLMs shoving other ML out of the way. Classifiers understand "yes" and "no" because it's the only thing they do.

If this turns into reciprocity I'm going to be so pissed. I'm already pissed. But I'll be pissed then too.

More than a mask, this is #Tláloc — the #RainGod who nourished fields & shaped #CyclesOfLife in the ancient #Mixtec civilization. The #turquoise inlay isn’t just 🪨, but sky & water fused in one, a sacred reminder that survival itself was divine.

A formline design of a cocoon and an emerging butterfly, coloured in the same shades as the transgender flag. The cocoon has half of a human face on it, and the butterfly’s wings are made of human hands.

An assortment of formline stickers. The designs include a hyena, a chickadee, an otter head, a capybara, and a harbor seal.

A picture of a formline wooden pin. The design is of a sitting wolf and a wolf pup in grey-brown. The wolf pup is pawing at its parents leg with its tongue stuck out.
