a personal project that i've come to appreciate is my screenshot garden, a small curated mirror of my desktop screenshots folder.
it is really just an online directory tree with a few automated processes on top, but even so i've liked having it- a little folder of time spent browsing, working, and collecting which bundles itself up for you
i've written out some instructions and template code for the workflow, so you can build your own;
@selfsame this is a fantastic idea
@amydentata infamous project from my grad program http://peiqi.su/art/portfolio-penis-wall.html
Computer-generated literature
In Brazil's main newspaper, Folha de S.Paulo, I argue that microblogging itself and National Novel Generation Month as initiated by @darius are more important to computer-generated literature than particular technologies like GPT-2 and -3 https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/ilustrada/2021/01/robos-ja-escrevem-de-poemas-e-microcontos-no-twitter-a-romances-inteiros.shtml

@joshmillard quaternions are a big qua-turn-me-off imo
Two things I like in the "Getting Unstuck" ebook sampler I just released:
* "Who this book is for and what you should get out of it" but also "Who this book is NOT for"
* concrete examples and exercises to improve open source project management skills

@tripofmice I think it would work *surprisingly* well without a lot of effort even (given the homogeneity of book covers by genre and also how genres are already marketed toward very narrow segments of readers)
@selfsame techguynetium?
I made a toy that generates "What vibes do I give off?" style memes from Wikipedia categories. Enjoy.
@abundance this is a tremendous vote of confidence!
@nicknicknicknick happy birthday!
conditional dcgan progress
I sorta gave up on having the same model produce different fonts—it just didn't work and the samples across classes weren't similar for the same latent variable (which was the effect I was going for in the first place). HOWEVER, I am super pleased with the samples from the model I'm training on Garamond italics...
