wind splitting seconds on this cornflower stalk last year. I did not change anything between these pictures, nor did much time pass, I just kept pressing the shutter as the wind kept moving the branches of the birch tree in whose half-shadow I was standing
#photography #bloomScrolling

a stalk with two cornflowers in dappled sunlight, the flowers brightly lit and sharply delineated before a background of green foliage and dark shadows
the same view as in the previous image, but now the sunlight is hitting things slightly differently, making the image as a whole much lighter, the contrast between the flowers and the background less stark, producing an overall softer effect
again the same view with different light, this time the light is overall much more diffuse, the stark shadows have disappeared entirely, the color palette is more blueish, the strong yellow-green notes have disappeared, the whole image is soft and pastelly
same view, strong sunlight is back and with it the dark shadows, strong contrasts and yellow glow in the green tones

Final version of the table for the Apple II . This gets it off the folding table it's been on for over a year. Total project time was three weekends with a few evening scattered in.
#woodworking

a wooden table about 20" square sits on a tile floor next to a piano. on top of the table sits an Apple II+ with an LCD screen on top. the table has a frame with mortise and tenon joints: one at the top on all four sides and one on all sides except the front which is about 6 inches down.
view of a wooden table with an Apple II+ from the left side. you can see the supports that are about 6 inches down from the top.

wiki_link_dyn: Wikipedia link dynamics (2011)
Six networks of the evolving hyperlink structure among wikipedia articles, for simple English (en), German (de), Dutch (nl), Polish (pl), Italian (it), French (fr), taken in August 2011. Each edge is timestamped, and an edge (i,j) indicates that article i hyperlinks to j. The edge sign indicates the addition ( 1) or deletion (-1) of that link at the specified time.

As for “but it's great for coding!“…
…world-wide there's about 3.6 billion jobs or so, of which ~25 million are in software development; this means maybe about 0.7% of all jobs world-wide can use "great for coding".
Writing actual code amounts to maybe, if you're lucky, 10% of the work a software developer does.
The rest is meetings, high-level specifications, email and chat, more meetings, learning new things, updating stuff, lots of testing and debugging, etc.
The gist is, the supposed gains from "AI" are completely irrelevant (and indeed there's signs and studies that show it doesn't do anything for programmer productivity either).
tl;dr: This is the worst economic bubble in history, pushing a dream of a magical technology that unfortunately doesn't work, by appealing to investor greed.

Querying Attack-Fault-Defense Trees: Property Specification in Smart Grid and Aerospace Case Studies

Querying Attack-Fault-Defense Trees: Property Specification in Smart Grid and Aerospace Case Studies
This paper introduces AFDL, a logic-based framework for reasoning about safety, security, and defense interactions in Attack-Fault-Defense Trees, which is a model that captures all safety, security, and defense domains in a single framework. We showcase both AFDL and propose a structured domain specific query language, LangAFDL, which enables domain experts to express complex analysis goals through intuitive templates. LangAFDL supports both Boolean and quantified queries as well as minimal cut…

#photography #feet #red

vertical format photo of a foot resting on a brick-red fabric, hit by direct sunlight coming from a window outside the top of the frame of the image, resulting in the foot casting a dark shadow on the red fabric, being surrounded by dark shadows, while also receiving some strong red reflected light from the fabric it is resting on, plus some intense glowing red sub-surface scattering in the toes at the border between light and shadow. to the right of the image but more in shadow a second foot i…
a similar view as in the previous image, but this time the format is horizontal, and the image is zooming in on the toes of the left foot
again a similar image, only now the foot has turned a but more towards the left side, changing the shadow pattern and overall catching more of the red reflected light from the fabric

How different the world looks within split seconds sometimes, just from a slight breath of wind in the leaves or a flick of the wrist! Here exemplified by one of last year's corn flowers.
#photography #bloomScrolling

a blurry horizontal format closeup of a light blue cornflower mostly in shadow but hit by a ray of sunlight from behind. the background consists of various out of focus green foliage
an almost identical view to the previous image, but the sunlight is hitting the cornflower a bit differently, and the image is less blurry
again the same cornflower, seen from a similar angle as before, but the light hitting it slightly different

just split seconds apart, almost the same yet completely different images, just because a leaf or three moved in the wind
#bloomScrolling #photography #cornflower

horizontal format closeup of a blue cornflower in front of a very blurry variegated dark green background, with the flower hit by a ray of sunlight coming from the left
view of the same cornflower but this time the flower itself is in shadow and the background is brighter green than in the previous image
