The parking attendant paused by the double-length bay. Intended for mobile homes and cars with trailers, it was currently occupied by a sleeping dragon.
No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn.
The parking attendant moved on.

This is my favorite part of DIY: getting to do things no professional would ever dream of. Fancy materials, time squandered on little perfections, etc.
Sometimes the good stuff only costs 10 cents more. A business isn't going to eat that and they'll pick the cheap shit.
Repaki being effortlessly rad, since red pandas just show up, look cool, and somehow make the whole scene feel more alive. I really like coloring red pandas, they are so bright! Well, this is a red panda/fox. Foxes cause the same effect tbh!

Sending this along to a fwah (fox-red panda) friendβ¦
It's the annual "change my work password" day. (Yes, I know, don't tell me, tell the IT department.)
For credentials I'm going to type a lot, I still prefer a short password full of strange characters to a long passphrase made of words. It's more effort to memorise, but once that's done, it's faster to enter than a long passphrase β a benefit that lasts the rest of the year.
My current memorisation technique involves a recurring timer. Every N minutes, an alert goes off, and I stop whatever I'm doing, run 'su $USERNAME -c "echo ok"', type my password, and make sure it did echo "ok". I do the password change first thing in the morning, and over the course of the day, increase the period between memory checks, from 5 minutes down to 15 or 30, so that it moves from short-term to long-term memory. If I find I've forgotten it in one of these tests, I'm allowed to look it up, but in every test I must first try it from memory and _then_ find out what I got wrong. And then retype it right.
I like this technique because it's simultaneously practice at remembering the password, and practice at typing it quickly and accurately. Even the "do it right now, interrupting whatever else you were doing" aspect is deliberate: it trains the skill of remembering the password _even while distracted_, which is actually necessary, if e.g. you need to 'sudo' something in a sudden emergency that's taking up most of your brain.
Reinforcing the new password periodically over the course of the first day is generally enough that when I come to log in the next morning I can remember it even after a night's sleep. And then I'm over the hump.
But one problem I still haven't solved is remembering, the next day, *that* I changed my password. It's still common for me to type the old one three times running before I realise what the problem is!
Maybe writing a Mastodon post all about changing my password will fix the incident in my memory so that I remember not to type the old one the next morning?
Nope.

We've had machine-learned OCR for a good 40 years. It didn't require massively parallel GPUs, huge datacenters, or even what we'd consider powerful machines to train, since they only needed a few hundred samples.
A common educational sample I did maybe 20 years ago was training to OCR digits. Any desktop could converge the training pretty quickly from a human comprehendible data set size. I don't remember how many neurons it used.. under 100 IIRC.
Not all machine learning is the overly massive stuff we see today. A lot of expert systems were very responsibly trained. It's the push for general that's killing everything.
So tell me, do you wanna go?

Note: I will be at Confuzzled next weekend - expect fluffy hugs!
for me the most annoying thing about people is when they conflate man-made rules with natural rules, say, "if you throw a rock up it my fall on your head" is a law of nature, there's no discussing it, but then "if you show up late I have to punish you" is not, it's not some intrinsic part of nature, it's just a rule you or someone made, and more specifically you are choosing to enforce the same way that you - as a conscious being with free will - can choose not to, these two things are not the same at all
and the most infuriating is how this mentality is in so many damn times as the root of so much of the pain in the world, "the world is not kind", then change the world for it to be kind! it's not some law of nature that people have to be bigoted or wars have to happen or landlords have to constantly raise prices, for fuck sake, it's all fucking made up
A carefree little panda, enjoying the joy of being alive.
I needed to create a piece like this for my own sake, I need some positivity in my life that reminds me what's my motivation and why I love to create, so this piece ended up being so meaningful.
At first this piece was going to be a panda on a swing, quietly appreciating life. But while sketching it, I realized it felt too still. Since I had already drawn the tree, I started experimenting with the branches instead, and suddenly the panda hanging from one of them felt much more alive, playful, and natural.
Even the colors came together instinctively. I didnβt make color tests beforehand, I just followed the palette that was already in my mind.
Traditional. Acrylic painting.

"Remember that prophecy that some old god would end the world last year?" the guy at the tavern bar laughs. "What happened with that?"
I feel Finna flinch beside me.

"Saving the world includes the jerks."
The necromancer looked at the old man behind the opulent desk.
"Commission me?"
"Yes. Once I'm dead, of course, but I'll pay you in advance."

"You can do that, can't you?"
"Yes, of course. To say farewell?"
"To clarify any questions about my will."
