@jake4480@c.imIt's the first #GrindayFriday of 2026, and I have a ripper. This is the debut LP of Virginia antifascist grinders LAY WASTE. 14 short, brutal tracks with fantastic titles like 'Make Guillotines Great Again'. Kinda oldschool grind, kinda deathgrind. Probably would've made one or both of my lists had it come out earlier in 2025. Fuck fascism, listen to grind.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialThe medical facility I go to for PT has a bike rack but it looks like garbage. It is bolted down but just does not look secure.

arXiv:2601.22858v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce Text Encoded Extrusion (TEE), a text-based representation that expresses mesh construction as sequences of face extrusions rather than polygon lists, and a method for generating 3D meshes from TEE using a large language model (LLM). By learning extrusion sequences that assemble a mesh, similar to the way artists create meshes, our approach naturally supports arbitrary output face counts and produces manifold meshes by design, in contrast to recent transformer-based models. The learnt extrusion sequences can also be applied to existing meshes - enabling editing in addition to generation. To train our model, we decompose a library of quadrilateral meshes with non-self-intersecting face loops into constituent loops, which can be viewed as their building blocks, and finetune an LLM on the steps for reassembling the meshes by performing a sequence of extrusions. We demonstrate that our representation enables reconstruction, novel shape synthesis, and the addition of new features to existing meshes.

- Unsubscribe from all those marketing lists you've been binning for all of 2025.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
Last weekend our granddaughter visited to help decorate our tree and we watched Elf, a movie about #Christmas spirit, because we were feeling Christmassy. I think the majority of Canadians believe in the spirit of this season. We're a little bit more polite and kinder, if that's even possible, and underneath the snark, the passive aggressiveness, the ##ElbowsUp, is a pack of big cuddly beavers. You don't have to take my word for it because places like Quebec City, Banff, and Vancouver regularly end up on lists for best places to sit on Santa's knee. He lives in Canada so not a surprise. Did you know that in 2018, Canada was ranked as #1 most Christmassy country in the world. They can't put it on the internet if it isn't true.
