Do they show when you go to their page? Maybe this will be fixable with custom feeds eventually

I feel like bluesky timeline tends to heavily favor a single person, sometimes showing me all their posts in a single thread, out-of-order

When you watch planes down low, they really seem like they have absolutely no right to be in the air. Just a bus, hovering, despite god and nature

Found a rich aesthetic vein in Midjourney tonight. There’s colorful fractals up in them there hills!

If I had to go back in time to the Roman era and survive, I would try to invent a visual telegraph signal. I think it woulda been a hugely useful innovation and easily doable.

I wanna come across one serendipitously or interestingly

What kinda little Buddha statues do they have? I need one for my new fountain, few inches tall

V2

V4

V3

V5

prompt:psychedelic surrealist landscapes, turquoise and orange, ancient egypt, dark palette chiaroscuro, intricate and bizarre illustrations, apocalypse art, vanitas paintings

Versions 2-5 labeled in alt text.
Which is your favorite? For like a punk bodycon dress.

2-4 are great! Good experiment

V2

V5

The new stuff is breathtaking but haven’t found much I wanna wear yet. Luckily v2 is still available.
But it’s interesting how even though 5 is “better”, a vibe is lost.
Reminds me of early deepdream / dearjohn ai art, it was so creepy and unique! No one’s doing that with new models

There’s a certain loose dreaminess that early midjourney had that is missing from v4 / v5. Even if you feed a v2 render back in to /describe and then use those prompts on 5 - the output has so much more coherence. I oft prefer the chaos of the early stuff for clothes less recognizability helps

They can’t keep you from enjoying this. How could they even know?

At this point my diet is like 40% Trader Joe’s brand Cheetos

Thinking about going to an all day figure drawing marathon in Marin tomorrow

First water test of my ambitious new fountain! Few learnings…
Drylok-style cement seemed very good, water escaped everywhere I didn’t consider, bucket is a little too small, little top heavy. overall very exciting!

How do we know if the bluesky feed is like a nice representative sample of the ppl we follow? And the protocol isn’t just accidentally dropping ppl beneath the hood? Idk feels like it’s a little stale feeling though might just be smaller number of users

Okay so… what IS conciousness?

Prerat why does it have to be prime, what happens if we choose like, 64

You’d just have to iterate, I guess? assuming the cycle is really long (but if the prime is N, the cycle can’t be longer than N right? And likely much smaller…

I’m prepared for an answer like “when you use adult-size prime numbers then the cycles become really long and it’s a nonissue”

Could eve find a solution for anywhere on the cycle? I mean if i, Alice, output 2 as my public key, won’t anyone with any private that results in 2 be able to read it (so 4,7,10, 13 etc)
It seems like the information of “which 2 in the cycle” can’t be part of the final secret.

I found something really interesting!
Every exponential series modded by a prime I looked at had the numbers following a pattern!
Like 2^3%7 = 1
2^4 %7 = 2
2^5%7 = 4
2^6 %7 = 1
And then the cycle repeats!
1,2,4,1,2,4 etc.

The alembic has a dance class at 6pm on Monday I wanna check out

Wait… have you posted this before? I feel like I’ve read this from you before on the bird site!

Oh @prer.at said g^ab mod p is the secret key…
Wiki is saying A^b mod p is how you get the answer. (A is public) I think it’s unclear to me why B^a and A^b would have same result - typically 4^10 != 10^4. Maybe the mod fixes it somehow I don’t get?

Okay hmm little confused - so I can calc the shared secret, I think… but also can’t you just multiply the public keys and mod ?

This is fine unless he crawls around

How do you, personally, build local community? I’d like to make this a bigger feature of my life

"but Andrew, internet culture is supposed to make me feel bad constantly, and I'm supposed to be on extreme alert as to whether someone is intentionally misinterpreting me in order to psychologically damage me."

it's going to be okay. we don't need to do that to each other anymore.
