Feature bounty (2 coins): banana rendering pipeline
Full auto "AI" agent:
https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/ImportantCode/pull/94

what is even going on

![Bounty: 2 coins] Create an image rendering pipeline for bananas and banana pudding In order to assist users in visualizing the state of their banana stash and exploring the possibilities for bananas to be turned into other things (like pudding), it is useful for there to be an entire image rendering pipeline. It should take 3d banana data and output an image using state-of-the-art image rendering techniques. I think that this would put the project in a great spot and encourage user adoption! This would be a great first issue!!!]3

Hello all,

after over a year of people encouraging me I'm finally #newhere

Still confused about the whole Fediverse setup, but not knowing what to expect can bring the loveliest results.

One of my main fields of interest is #history especially of marginalised groups. I have way too many hobbies, many of them in the #textile area like #knitting #crochet and #crossstitch
Sometimes, I talk about the intersection of those interests.
At #emf2026 I'll give a workshop about hacking your clothes.

"The industry's strongest defense of these products is that markets aggregate dispersed information that polling and expert panels cannot. Grant the claim its most favorable form, and it still does not get the industry where it needs to go. Whatever information a prediction market produces is a byproduct of the betting, not a good anyone set out to make. The trading builds nothing, finances nothing, and employs no one. It is zero-sum by construction, a transfer from the traders who are wrong to the traders who are right, and after the platform takes its cut it is negative-sum, a transfer from everyone at the table to the house."

Hi. :ablobwavereverse:

I'm a professional computer geek in the Bay Area. I've been a sysadmin, designed and built networks, been a penetration tester, done security research, and incident response. I'm flexible enough to work as in aerospace engineering as well as computational pharmacology.

I'm still #unemployed.

I'm searching for a job, on-site or remote. If you're hiring, please DM me, or at least send me a link or two? Please?

@kroltan the fediverse works harder to be inclusive, and I'm not mad at that! I think these are things worth caring about to make sure a variety of people can participate.

It's a bad idea for that culture to be powered by people nagging though. It's not sustainable.

The way a product is designed will inform how people use it. For instance, if people are speeding down a road, a speed limit sign won't do much, but narrowing the lanes and adding barriers will slow people down.

A few important points for Mr. Reply Police here:

⁃ If you read the whole article, you’ll learn that several of the people given half-century-plus sentences were unconnected to the ones who brought guns, but lumped in with them by prosecutors and given equally harsh sentences.

- Possessing a bunch of firearms is not a crime in the US. It probably •should• be in many cases IMO, but it’s not, and fans of the 2nd Amendment will remind you.

⁃ A 100-year sentence is wildly excessive for shooting someone in the shoulder. It would be a pretty striking sentence even for murder (cf Kyle Rittenhouse) — and in this case, nobody was murdered.

Yes, the accused were probably not making good decisions here. As per my OP, it is the sentences that are the problem.

I am sure that many of you can provide additional info to Mr. Reply Police, and I encourage you to do so, but please please ••un-CC me•• when you do.

@cwebber A friend’s been working on the remaster! Apparently the original production company kept all their digital master tapes which is how they have it in such incredible quality, but they didn’t have the equipment to transfer them, which is where my friend came in.

I heard Joe Armstrong give a talk for forty minutes once and I walked out permanently converted to this way of thinking. Use queues. Queues only. NULL was not a billion-dollar mistake, NULL can be made sanitary. Memory-sharing multithreading was the billion dollar mistake.

i do genuinely believe we could have the best of all worlds here, it's just there are type theory things that need to be investigated first. for some reason type theorists tend towards nice functional languages with garbage collection and nice properties over grotty horrible systems programming languages. can't imagine what that's all about.
