Hi, I have a jewelry shop! https://www.nora.jewelry/ I have a variety of stuff I've made including a lot of handmade fused glass.
I'm really struggling with reach right now so boosts are very appreciated! #handmade #glass #glasstodon #art #artistsonmastodon #artistsofmastodon
For anyone unfamiliar, the host Jason Calacanis and David Sacks are the same people who helped cause the SVB bank run, then caused the bank run to spread by tweeting about how all the banks were gonna fail, causing a mass panic. When the Fed was forced to take drastic actions to stop them blowing up the entire economy they took credit for "convincing the fed to stabilize the banks".

A new Midjourney workflow I’m really enjoying:
1. Take a photo
2. Use /describe
3. Append a subject to the very beginning of the prompt given by /describe
(Like a robot, or a cityscape)
@kevinrns I, for one, would absolutely watch a movie with a title like “Captain Feminist and the Patriarchy’s stone."
Well, yeah. The “Twitter Files” served their propaganda purpose, and now Musk doesn’t want anybody to look closely at the facts, so, “time to move on”. I mean, this is very transparent, right? https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-move-on-twitter-files
She's so joyful... :)

"These language models are so unmoored from the truth that it's astonishing that people are marketing them as search engines." Indeed!

For #FediFriday / #FollowFriday I made a simple website that lists 5-8 *active* Mastodon accounts for each of the following categories: Columnists, Journalism, Tech, Media, Politics, Authors, Social Justice, Advocacy, Law/Legal, SciComm
Lots of great follows in there (imho), including many familiar faces and some folks you may not (yet) know about.
Check it out, and let me know what you think!
I want a custom mechanical keyboard but I have very specific requirements. I want a split staggered layout with variable tenting, integrated wrist rests, low-profile switches, PBT keycaps, and hotswap. And, as the kids say, "thock". Basically I just want the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB with hotswap, a few acoustic mods, and custom keycaps. Does such a thing exist? I have been unsuccessful in finding it in the last 2 years.

There are many ways to apply Euler's continued fraction formula. For example, we can start by remembering that the integral of 1/(1+t²) from 0 to x is arctan(x). Then we can use the geometric series formula
1/(1-x) = 1 + x + x² + x³ + ⋯
to write
1/(1+t²) = 1− t² + t⁴ − t⁶ + ⋯
This gives a nice formula for arctan(x) as an infinite series!
To apply Euler's continued fraction formula, we need to massage this series until it's of the form
a₀ + a₀ a₁ + a₀a₁a₂ + a₀a₁a₂a₃ + ⋯
Luckily this is not hard to do - see below.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has ignited controversy after stating at an NRA conference that her one-year-old granddaughter possesses a shotgun and a rifle. The comment was made during an event where Noem signed an executive order aimed at further safeguarding Second Amendment rights in South Dakota. The remarks have led to concerns about the safety of her grandchildren, with some critics suggesting that child protective services should investigate the situation.
