revisted with more dispair
another go at the doodle, just the bird, no props this time. Hoping that it is a bit more proportional and less overworked to resemble the reference a bit more closely.

the doodle, our little bird, still defeated has dropped his coin shield and pin sword. Reference photo, a totally defeated looking baby chick 🐥 looks up at three-quarters. His right wing touches a quarter. It is almost larger than our hero.

I'd disagree, but many people talk about Newtownian mechanics vs relativity vs QM this way. (all are correct for some given discipline). Any philosophers of science and physics with a good critique of this? #philsci
Co — star argues that both geocentric and heliocentric astronomy are "correct representations, since they are dictated by perspective (planets seen from the sun or planets seen from the earth).

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 - Better late than never! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2
Screenshot of the day 2.2 solution in Clojure. What follows is the solution program (reindeer.clj): (ns reindeer) (require '[clojure.string :as str]) (defn gradual? [report] (every? (comp (partial >= 3) (partial abs) (partial apply -)) (partition 2 1 report))) ;; tests for STRICT monotonicity (defn monotonic? [report] (or (apply > report) (apply < report))) (defn revise [report i] (concat (take i report) (drop (inc i) report))) (defn safe? [dampened-report] (and (monotonic? dampened-report) (gradual? dampened-report))) (defn dampened-safe? [report] (loop [i -1] ; initial revision should provide the entire list (cond (>= i (count report)) false (safe? (revise report i)) true :else (recur (inc i))))) (as-> (doall (line-seq (java.io.BufferedReader. *in*))) x (map #(str/split % #" ") x) (map (partial map #(Integer/parseInt %)) x) (map dampened-safe? x) (filter identity x) (count x) (println x))

But remember, you don't even need to index everything in your relay.
screenshot of the definition for AT proto's relays from: https://atproto.com/guides/glossary#relay A Relay is an aggregator of data repos from across the Atmosphere. They sync the repos from PDSes and produce a firehose of change events. AppViews use a Relay to fetch user data. Relays are an optimization and are not strictly necessary. An AppView could communicate directly with PDSes (in fact, this is encouraged if needed). The Relay serves to reduce the number of connections that are needed in the network.

At least you learned what CPI was at some point. Growth, I guess.
