"Anno 117" im Test: Rom für Zuckerbäcker
Produktionsketten sind wichtig, aber auch nicht alles: Mit "Anno 117" bedient die Serie alte Stärken und punktet vor allem mit einer wunderschönen Antike.

For today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent here's a tiny tool we have used in our pipeline: pyRenamer is a simple app to rename/renumber a bunch of files.
Unfortunately it's pretty much an abandoned fork of a Python 2 app that has been abandoned for even longer ago. It still works and for renumbering there's no easier solution at hand. But for file name search & replace …

GitHub - TheTimeTombs/pyRenamer: pyRenamer is an application with a graphic interface designed for renaming many files at once. It supports renaming files with patterns, substitutions, inserting text, deleting text, or even manually renaming individual files.

Finally an RGB image of comet #3IATLAS from images taken by #GeminiNorth during the 26 November #shadowTheScientists session: noirlab.edu/public/news/noirla - the coma has become bluer due to more gas emission. Also published today: an X-ray image by XMM-Newton at esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/ with explanations in cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/ which also contains more 3I news.
Meanwhile the paper iopscience.iop.org/article/10. claims an upper limit for 3I's nucleus diameter of only some 750 meters from the measured non-gravitational acceleration (NGA) parameters: that would be waaay more stringent than the 5.6 km upper limit from early Hubble observations reported in iopscience.iop.org/article/10. (where also a lower limit of 440 meters is stated).

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black and white image of a utility pole overwhelmed by a chaotic tangle of wires. The wires loop, twist, and hang in various directions, some appearing disconnected or frayed. The dense mass of cables creates a visual maze, suggesting poor maintenance or infrastructure overload. The pole itself is weathered, and the scene hints at potential hazards. The image emphasizes the complexity and disorder of urban electrical systems. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，展示了一根电线杆被大量杂乱电线缠绕的…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome image of a deteriorating urban area. A brick wall with peeling paint stands in the background, partially damaged and surrounded by scattered bricks and debris. A concrete curb runs along the bottom edge, and a manhole cover is visible nearby. Overgrown weeds and plants emerge from cracks in the pavement. Electrical boxes mounted on metal frames and a chain-link fence suggest infrastructure. The scene evokes neglect and decay, contrasting nature’s per…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A close-up black and white photo of a morning glory flower blooming on a vine wrapped around a metal railing. The flower is on the right side, its delicate petals and central opening clearly visible. The vine’s tendrils and leaves intertwine with the railing, creating a contrast between organic curves and industrial lines. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the flower’s gentle beauty. The image captures a moment of quiet resilience in an urban setting.…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black and white photo of an outdoor tiled surface made of hexagonal tiles. The tiles are worn and uneven near the top edge, with some broken pieces and scattered debris. In the upper right corner, a small stack of square slabs tied with string sits atop a short stand or stool. The slabs appear heavy and utilitarian, possibly construction materials. The scene captures a gritty urban texture, with strong contrasts between the geometric tile pattern and the roughn…

For #TextModeTuesday, some fonts from my old demoscene days, recreated in 2022 for an example project of my opensource libraries:

Words That Make Language Models Perceive
Large language models (LLMs) trained purely on text ostensibly lack any direct perceptual experience, yet their internal representations are implicitly shaped by multimodal regularities encoded in language. We test the hypothesis that explicit sensory prompting can surface this latent structure, bringing a text-only LLM into closer representational alignment with specialist vision and audio encoders. When a sensory prompt tells the model to 'see' or 'hear', it cues the model to resolve its next…

Anybody know anyone on #Vancouver City Council? Because they’re talking about seeking alternatives to Xitter: bsky.app/profile/jmcelroy.bsky

An update on how the City of Vancouver provides real-time text updates and information about its council meetings. Currently, the only way you can get that information is by having an account on X, the very fun website that everyone loves. Yesterday, they passed a motion to explore alternatives.
