I've no idea about fossils, but I suspect macromolecules like ribosomes or DNA might have too small features to fossilise? From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfossil > A microfossil is a fossil that is gene

Heh, meanwhile over here in paint world, I've been mixing red and green to make grey (specifically Royal Talens (362 Deep Rose) + (602 Deep Green)). I think of orange as yellow + small amount of red, but hey.

With its robot dinosaurs, glowing beaches, and artificial moon? Surely not! (Also I can't wait for Adam Something's youtube video on this conveyor belt. Another one for his list of "why is this not a train?")

Well I can say what happens with me, although as should be clear from this whole thread, other's experiences might be very different! Visualising an image (of a memory, or an ideal) is a bit like tricking yourself into seeing something

If anyone is unsure, please refer to this simple diagram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminology_of_the_British_Isl... Obvious, really! :)

For me the weird part is that they put in a gif of a researcher using a 'video wall' (apparently a projector combined with some gesture recognition?) to show one of these ice proteins... Except the one shown looks like it is some

Hah. I bought and tried to use a pantograph. It was fun, but seemed only accurate for scaling up or down over a limited range of scales. Obviously I'm a terrible amateur at using them, so perhaps it was a skill issue...

I wonder if the enumeration approach from this paper : https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ci025526c# which (I'm aware it's paywalled) essentially enumerates using the inner duals of the tilling and then re

Thanks, I'll try the L-system. I did try drawing on triangulated grid paper (dual to hex grid), which helped a little.

by gilleain 2y ago
Well the metatiles are hexagonal - does that literally mean using an underlying hex grid would work? I'll certainly try that, thanks!

A note on these shapes for people who want to draw them from scratch... I found it quite difficult to draw a nice looking tiling using the basic monotile. It's quite hard to draw it entirely from the angles directly on the paper - not

Feels like this short article could have included the context that this was the associate (valet, of sorts) for Zhimin Qian the 'crypto queen'. KiraTV did a video on her : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8zu1622TH

Yeah I feel like this is why fluent APIs sometimes irritate me. Like they can be clever, and can be natural: do(thisThing).and(thisOtherThing).until(someStopcondition).... but when this breaks down it becomes quite ugly.

I'm confused. The sellers are not claiming these are new works, are they? The artists involved are dead, so that might be a little tricky. Instead these are AI works in the style of these artists, passed off as prints of original works
267.
by gilleain 2y ago
No the complaint is that these are fake 'new' works by artists. If someone wanted to sell an exact replica print of an existing work that is one thing.

Why? Some art is purely representative, some is abstract, some is narrative driven, some is not. There is 'chaotic' abstract art - like Pollock - and regular examples - like Escher or Vasarely - and many points in between. Why sho

Ok, I don't mean at all to suggest that there is only one 'right' pose or representation. Different orientations and levels of detail would emphasise different things. For example, it's quite nice that the haemoglobin on
