Found it much interesting that i could mess up a pattern enough that it couldn't re-form.

Would be fun if selecting a new pattern didn't refresh the image as it is. Although maybe that's a requirement?

before writing to some area, it would erase it (clearing with white) up to 9 times

oh yeah! i recall a paper linked here not so long ago, where it was shown that the dendrites of a neuron do computations themselves. The "weight per neuron" is very simplistic then. At the very least, each actual neuron is a network of weights.

i think firefox shows the "open image in new tab" for backgrounds also, now. at least sometimes. still easily defeated by putting an invisible div above it so no right clicks reach it... or do some js bullshit to disable right clicks...

i remember setting a html with a flash file and it did track the cursor accurately for some fun effects. couldn't keep it like that due to resource use but yeah, it was fun!

icons and text would get single-color backdrops though. no transparency back to the html

agree with your points, but damn, resolve has some strange UI patterns / key combos etc compared to other software i've used.

maybe if you're a video editor coming from years within the field, the metaphors make sense? for me, having mostly done audio stuff, it was a bit of a journey.

i dont think an onboarding thing would be the solution, though

Wiki for phenacetin says it's mechanism of action is being metabolized into paracetamol. IDK about your "nowhere as effective".

It was withdrawn for sometimes being metabolized into another, toxic and carcenogenic, molecule.

i have no practice with lambda calculus, and no reason too, but i love esoteric diagram types and ill-advised metaphors. i'm gonna learn this shit

New comment by sixeyes in "The Clock"

sixeyes — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:57:41 +0000

The obvious thing for me is to have the orbit around sun, second, etc - all the things you decided to run clockwise - as fixed points, at the top, and let the tracks themselves run anti clockwise. Then everything would move the same way, same direction, and a "now" that's a the same spot always.

As it is now, "now" is at different places at the different circles.,.,.

I'm pretty sure 0.1 µmol per liter and such absolutely does happen in recreational use. (Recreational use is toxic, destroys memory, etc.)

So, using git exactly as usual?

>OTOH I think a lot of these methods don't matter that much because of plausible deniability. Stylometry and other stuff processes is always probabilistic, and can be dismissed.

i've come to realize, often the "opressor" or whatever party i imagine using this kind of thing against me, they do not care about being exactly

> Pi is indeterminent and thus cannot be an object to be counted

this seems weird to me. doesn't pi (the symbol) point to one specific concept, whether or not we can determine its exact shape?
