  • Whenever I see this photo of harvester ants working on their nest, I think how it looks like they planted a decorative tree by their door like they have an HOA or something.

    They are using their ammochaetae* which have formed a psammophore** to carry balls of soil.

    I always wonder if guys with beards can be this efficient at landscaping. Can ya'll bring in the groceries with that thing?

    I think it could also be a young ladybird beetle or maybe a glowworm?

    I'm stumped.

    I looked at the millipedes and none from Europe look like this really.

    If you request that it be like a technical document it can do the grammar. I won't deny the few things these models are good at:

    speech to text
    basic rough translation (not literary, not for document, just for kludge communication)
    cleaning up grammar and spelling.

    Maybe it can suggest alternate ways to word a sentence. Though it often changes the meaning and I don't see the point.

    They turned the praise down, but not enough. I still find it ... uncomfortable because it's constantly outputting phrases that do not convey information-- except if they came from a human they would mean a great deal to me. Such as "Let's get started working on your idea."

    Such a nice thing to hear from another person, it means they want to help and think it's worth their time.

    Reading it from a machine makes me sad.

    I find "he" just as bad. Or even "them" if they talk about it like it's a person. But I can see how that makes it ... worse.

    Working slowly makes the errors causes by moving the pen worse. Speed is your friend for this. The wheel in the video must have a motor or she's kicking it. My wheel is just for hand building and won't spin for long at all.

    I think you may be right about the cardioid it seems the easiest thing to make from playing around just a bit with it.

    Also it's easier if it's moving faster. I wish I had a motor.

    Moving the pen at a constant speed won't work I think? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

    I have a clay wheel I'm going to bring it out. Hold. on.

    "But the offset to the centre seems to determine the radius of the inner circle."

    Do you mean the whole thing is centered on the small circle? I thought the whole thing was centered on the large circle... the small one is an anomaly.

    But, it already has ... all of the data possible. I think people don't understand just how huge "training data" (train is a poor word, it should be just called "data" or "data to be optimized into a relational fine-grain net with a ton of computing time")

    Well one is that a circle is set of points a fixed distance from a center. And a spiral is when you change the radius as you draw it.

    I don't know about the younger kids, but ever since I saw this I have been thinking about the second circle they draw. It's driving me nuts.

    How do they draw a circle off center?

    It looks like they simply move the pen in a line. I think you must move it at a speed that would vary like a sinusoidal curve.

    They do it *so* quickly and nothing else in the video is nearly as interesting as that moment.

    That's backwards. The software is supposed to be so useful you can't keep people from using it. How did the cracking of the whip get into the cycle?

    We are all lazy. If it worked people would be all over it.
