Adam Kinzinger:
I saw a stupid post with a picture of The Art of the Deal, saying,
“If you want to understand Donald Trump…” blah blah blah.
And I’m like, actually, if you want to understand Donald Trump,
we need the rest of the Epstein files.

My "grow plants everywhere" mod for #Luanti is progressing!
I just built a routine to do blobby weight regions as the intersection of a bunch of parabolas, where weight increases logarithmically from the edge of the parabola with an adjustable edge region, and we use the geometric average of these weight values within the intersection region. Then I spent a few hours hunched over a biomes vornoi diagram approximating different broad regions like "arid_grasses" and "temperate_trees" so you can just name some combination of these regions (with custom per-region multipliers) and have your plant definition apply within those regions. I was using rectangular min/max heat/humidity values before, but they were pretty awkward to work with.
If anyone on here who plays Luanti wants to check it out let me know and I can prioritize publishing what I've got. I've got growth definitions for most but not all VoxeLibre plants and it wouldn't be hard to put them together for another game. No trees yet, but that's pretty much the next thing to work on.

I like AI. I like robots. I love machine learning automation. I don't like it when their use cases are replacing people, spying on or profiling people, prosecuting people, submitting people into subscription, creating "art", "videos", "pictures" and scumbag "memes", warfare, propaganda, disinformation, deepfakes of any kind, ads, trolling, pumping up stocks, just plain wrong search results that force you to waste twice as much time to confirm they …
