For your edification, the most common form factor of floppy disks:
5¼ inch (no metal door thing)
3½ inch (the one the save icon was modeled after)
There were also 8 inch (used before 1980s mainly), and various not very successful 3 inch, 2½ inch and 2 inch formats.
Note that while the form factor might have been the same, a lot of diskettes aren't mutually software compatible between systems.
There's physical sub-formats (e.g. one sided, hard sectors, varying supported densities due to magnetic properties etc.) too.

I occasionally stop by Reddit for a couple of chuckles. As per usual - the magic is always in the comments
#ShamelesslyStolenFromReddit #shitpost #shitposting

The image is a meme presented in a Reddit post, consisting of a split image and a caption. Above the split image, the text reads "No one: Humans during sex:". The left half of the split image features a cartoonish depiction of a person, seemingly a woman, wearing a cowboy hat and sitting in the driver's seat of a car. The person is looking forward and holding the steering wheel. Below this image, there is a calculator with the equation "100 - 31" displayed. The right half of the split image pre…

The 2025 Web Almanac mistook me.
I did *not* say LLMs provide better image descriptions. I cited SeeingAI and Be My Eyes as tools for undescribed IRL uses.
I said LLM-generated captions could be better than craptions. I mentioned abstracts / reading-level changes, which could be summaries?
But “better” image descriptions is right out.

Adrian Roselli acknowledges that recent advances in computer vision and LLMs have brought real benefits, such as better image descriptions and improved captions and summaries. However, he argues these tools still lack context and authorship. They can’t know why content was created, what a joke or meme depends on, or how an interface is meant to work. Their descriptions and code suggestions can easily miss the point or mislead users.

AI image generators like Nano Banana have increased realism by mimicking phone camera traits in contrast, exposure, and sharpening to avoid the uncanny valley (Allison Johnson/The Verge)

AI image generators are getting better by getting worse
AI image generators are getting way better at creating realistic fakes, by making image quality a little bit worse.

MonochromeEvolutionaryBioDigitalCellularAutomataSimulation
Unlike the recently shared[1] multi-cellular struggles, these here are some selected research stills (handpicked from tens of thousands) of only single CA configurations (aka mono-cultures) which I found interesting/promising and which were then used as raw ingredients/candidates for my infinitely evolving C-SCAPE project[2]...
Each of these cellular automata is 1.5D, meaning each pixel row is one generation, but I allowe…
