I don't think "Siberian trap music" music really exists I posted this to see if it was maybe real?

Those apps are "ok" but they have their limitations.

When you see Podomyrma adelaidae you'll know why it has the name "muscleman" (though I still think "musclewoman" makes more sense, all worker ants are female...)

It literally has bulges on its exoskeleton... and it's strong, these do indicate more powerful legs.

Iridomyrmex can be spotted for their distinctive flat heads and their purple hues.

Here is the muscle woman herself and you can even see her spots!

I don't mind the regular season... or when the METS visit. But... Yankees post season is The Worst next to when the Red Socks come visit that is also very bad.

It sounds a bit like a train or a tornado for a bit but then you realize it's the cheering. Like white noise. Like a wave that never breaks. The game has not even started. The sky is dim blue from all the lights. Poor migratory birds and insects :(

Thank the lord in heaven let me rest now

@buddhawilliams

Are you certain this isn’t iridomyrmex?

@otterX they can be moody.

@buddhawilliams

They do have little “biceps” but shouldn’t it be “musclewoman tree ant”

And these people keep saying this part, the physics, the structure, the logic will be trivial to just tack on at any moment but it just keeps on NOT happening.

But every 101 level programming class teaches there are three kinds of programming errors:

1. syntax (won’t compile)
2. runtime (won’t run)
3. And? The hardest to fix? Logical.

Wow. It can fix the first two. Wow. Amazing.

This is the same problem I ran into with LLMs. An LLM can't process an entire novel with the care and attention to detail it might manage for a paragraph (and the quality of the paragraphs is already limited)

The exciting thing about machines is how they can automate large tasks. But, making "full sized" media seems to remain out of reach even many years into this exciting revolution.

Making a 20 second AI generated video doesn't take twice as much energy as a 10 second video. It takes 4 times as much.

This is because the whole video needs to strive for coherence and the size of the data set that determines the next frame keeps expanding like a polynomial.

At least it's not exponential, right?

Could all of the compute in the world even now even make a two hour movie?

I love the way that Astrum pulls together the work from telescopes all over the world and all over the sky to make the story of a weird space rock more exciting.

"Ant arctic conditions"

This is when there are bear-sized ants. It's not cold at all.

I found the link!

Attached: 1 video Over on tiktok user @nomadicpancakes has observed a group of #bees that have learned to turn on the sensor on a water bottle filling station by walking over the target. This is just the kind of thing bees are made to learn, they love targets and need to follow them when dealing with flowers all the time. The interesting thing is that the bee who hits the target produces water for her sisters, herself less so. But these #eusocial girls seem to have that worked out! https://www.tiktok.com/@nomadicpancakes/video/7255331484444314926

I must admit "nazi bots" didn't turn out as bad as I always imagined they might be as a child... although it is still very bad.

@babelcarp

There are so many limos out on the concourse it looks like a sick game of jenga. Nothing can move. Everyone wants to be dropped of at the front door.

Madness.

@GriffithPark

Did she have another bee to push the button?

(A group of bees found out how to block the sensor to a water bottle filler once and went nuts drinking all the water. )
