My first mural is done!
alt text
One week ago we opened my first mural with a perfect neighbourhood party. I’m really happy with what is basically a gigantic watercolour. It's not that easy to photograph because there's a tree in front of the whole thing and the plants adjacent to the wall have been destroyed because I had to be there with the scissor lift, so that looks really bad as well for the time being. I have to get a drone or something.
Thank you so much for all your support during the whole process. Several people have already gotten in touch with me to talk about more murals I could do, but we'll see if anything pans out.
I've got a bit longer video on my Instagram for those who are interested: https://www.instagram.com/p...

It looks amazing! I want to come see it in person!!
Congratulations! Here's to many more.

Seen in the photo is a partially constructed honeycomb, uncapped, with some nectar filling the uncapped hexagonal. All of the above sits in a plastic Rubbermaid container.
This is the one comb that the apiarist saved for us. All the rest will go into the rehomed B’s new enclosure. Because they have baby bees in them and some of those will survive. What is in here is nectar, not honey because none of these cells is capped. He explained to me that honey. Only comes after nectar has been properly dehydrated by the bees, fanning it after capping it. All the family members have tasted this nectar. It taste like the wildflowers from our backyard. I intend to rinse the comb and melt it down into a beeswax candle.
Single Line Font Archive

I just discovered OG web hero Golan Levin's archive of "single-stroke fonts" https://github.com/golanlev...
"This is a repository of p5.js (JavaScript) programs for loading and displaying single-line vector fonts (also called single-stroke fonts, technical lettering fonts, stick fonts, skeleton fonts, engraving fonts, or monoline fonts) in a variety of formats — including TTF, SVG 1.1 Font, Hershey Font, and others. This repository also attempts to present an authoritative archive of single-line fonts (and procedural fonts) recovered or extracted from a wide range of creative projects, vintage and obsolete technologies, and other sources.
Most digital fonts are "outline fonts", which represent letterforms as shapes that fill closed contours. By contrast, single-line fonts represent letters with linear skeletons, the same way we might write them by hand. Single-line fonts are ideally suited to creative coding, pen-plotting, laser projection, and CNC machining."

I'm currently in the process of memorizing all those squiggly characters (kanji) in the bottom 80% of that pic. Each one can have several meanings and pronunciations.

TLDR: the main tenets of the theory gained widespread acceptance by European researchers already in the 1920s, and the debates were mostly about _how_. However, the theory took longer to be accepted in North America, and they only irrefutably nailed down the mechanism and evidence thereof by the 1960s.

Image shows a cut away of a ceiling in a suburban home where floor joists in the ceiling have partially completed honeycombs covering the space between.
We hired a local apiary specialist to come rescue the bees who had made a home above our mud room. It was $$$ but made us happier. This is a relatively young hive. We saw them swarming weeks ago but couldn’t get anyone out until this past weekend.

our ISP has cloud flare and Captcha engaged, and I got stuck in a captcha death spiral yesterday trying to access archive.ph so I could read a firewalled article.

I didn't make that much money to begin with.
Not how Social Security works. It's not retirement savings, it's social insurance.
Retirement age of 65 was based on actuarial data from like 150+ years ago (hint: lifespan on avg was... 65), updating it to 67-70 isn't exactly the work of the devil.
Super double bonus not how SSA works: the fund is *supposed* to face depletion because the extra funds are for the Baby Boomers.
This is *expected and normal* but is instead used to sow panic.
There are a few easy fixes for SSA so it'll do its job for future generations.
You just gotta press the globs of hair and teeth that are your representatives in govt to do their damn jobs.

Here’s a nauseating little tool that generates a report on how conscious LLMs are of your existence.
The poster ( https://telescoper.blog/2026... ) reports:
“Yesterday I found out about a site called intheweights.com , which reveals which people are “stored” in the weights of large language models. Those “weights” are billions of numerical values by which these AI models encode their knowledge. If you show up in them, the model considered you relevant enough during training to recall without tools such as web search.
The site queries several models to figure out who a specific person is, combines the results, and assigns a strength score. According to the leaderboard, the current maximum strength score is 998, awarded too a person called Charlize Theron (of whom I have never heard); number Two is Rudyard Kipling, apparently. I’m surprised the top isn’t Taylor Swift. I guess these weights change with time too.”
nb, using it seems to burn tokens and, thus, trees. I shared this as a public service - don’t feel compelled to follow my lead.
Also, I have never been much of an “editor,” and the summation misses a good 60% of the rest of my checkered career, not to mention my fully online, nonprofessional life.

I am not in the weights, as it were, and I am fine with that.

A dark, heavily clouded night. The entire scene is greenish. Looming up from a hill is a tall, narrow skyscraper, with only one window lit at the top. On the roof of the skyscraper are several antennae, two with lights on them. Sticking out of the side of the skyscraper, inexplicably, is a hand crank. At the base of the skyscraper, blazing over the top of the hill, is an eerie green light from an unknown source. Approaching the skyscraper on the right is a small figure, holding a staff with a glowing green light at the top. A dim treeline is visible in the background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
For those in the daily grind, I salute you! 🫡
Spectacular!!!
