Artificial lifeforms are super fascinating to watch. These self-organizing, self-replicating, “lifeforms” emerged from a continuous time cellular automata system called Flow-Lenia. Lenia is a family of CAs generalizing Conway’s Game of Life to continuous space, time and states.

3D Gaussian Splats are cool, but they're static (PART 2). 4K4D can turn 4k videos into dynamic scenes and render them in real-time at 80fps on a RTX 4090 GPU. For 1080p videos, the method even reaches a crazy 400fps 🤯 https://t.co/NAA6bocjVs

I don’t think presidents have much effect on crime. But it’s fascinating that Trump is the first president in 30 years to oversee a rise in crime. And crime has dropped significantly since he left office. Yet Republicans still attack Biden and Democrats on crime. And it works!

I learned today that South Korean women are doing a full blown birth & relationships strike to combat misogyny and other structural issues in their society, enough that it’s actually statistically affecting birth rates and causing the govt to talk about changing policies. Hmm…

Feels so broken that we've created an ecosystem where the few people left with staff jobs are just waiting for them to disappear; the freelancers are struggling to get by on roughly $10k a year; and yet there are endless publicists in my inbox who largely seem to be living stably
