@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no, as mentioned this “diagonal arrow” eye shape, is usually used for a smug expression. The optional white part, is in this case, where the dogs sclera would be visible, while they have their eyes, like this.
Here is a comparison between a real dog, making the face it is based on, and the exaggerated drawn version.

the code to generate this image (have you noticed it is a 3D mesh?)

Folks I finally made something I wanted to make for a long time, a T-Shirt design thing.

And also available in Brazil at Uma Penca: https://umapenca.com/villares/

You can also buy stickers and other items… soon my “Python Reading Club” and “Python is also for artists!” designs will be available. This will help support my free and open source activities. I make free and open educational resources, I teach at several places and I need to make ends meet.

I only learned about the .envelope object/propriety in #shapely yesterday, before that I used .bounds (a min/max of points tuple), but envelope is good to know because it provides an easy way of getting the centroid and the area of the bounding box, which can be very useful.

Interactive demo of #shapely’s centroid for the triangle :)

import py5
from shapely import Polygon, Point

def setup():
    py5.size(400, 400)
    py5.stroke_join(py5.ROUND)
    
def draw():
    py5.background(200)
    pts = ((100, 100), (300, 100),
           (py5.mouse_x, py5.mouse_y))
    xs, ys = zip(*pts)
    cx = sum(xs) / len(xs)
    cy = sum(ys) / len(ys)
    tri = Polygon(pts)
    py5.no_fill()
    py5.stroke_weight(1)
    py5.stroke(0, 200, 0)
    py5.shape(Point(cx, cy).buffer(5))
    py5.stroke(0, 0, 200)
    py5.shape(tri.envelope.buffer(2))
    py5.shape(tri.envelope.centroid.buffer(5))
    py5.stroke_weight(3)
    py5.stroke(0)
    py5.shape(tri)
    py5.fill(0)

Update: On this exact page I have bungled the image URLs (I blame Marktext for being stupid and not using a relative reference). But I swear loading problems have been going on other well formed pages.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t even think the premise of this makes much sense. If an artist is convinced they cannot compete, with the “AI” learning models, we already have today, they must have some self esteem issues, strange opinion on what the purpose of art is, or just be someone mindlessly redrawing already established things and not be all that good at it.

It might be connected to some typically non-artists assumption, that the more time and effort the artwork took to accomplish, the more artistic it is - this can be further twisted in these peoples minds, into the “more pointless detail = more artistic art” meme. AI often ads pointless and illogical details everywhere, “so it’s obviously better, than the human artist, who drew the original”.

Some people just enjoy having the picture they wanted or having the status of an artist to brag about and don’t actually enjoy the artistic process of discovery and small decisions, made while drawing, that shape the outcome into something, only you could have created.

We went on a 14 kilometers long hike in the heat, only a few spots were in the shade, most of our trip was in the open fields with the sun beating down on us. We reapplied the sun blocker after about two hours or so. All in all it took us about three and a half hours before we reached our destination Besigheim.

Last time I was there it was rainy, now we had the exact opposite. After some yummy Chinese lunch we visited the old town. There’s some gorgeous timer framing to see. When kept in decent shape, it just looks so dang cool.

Since it was too hot, we rode back by train. Despite the heat and some sections near the roaring Autobahn, this was a nice hike. Would do it again. Only in colder weather, though. I certainly don’t wanna trade my comperatively larger (still nothing to other more rural areas), covering forests with the wide open fields and vineyards in summer. That’s for sure.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oooooh! I like how that’s shaping up! Now you need a jobless vacation (not moneyless), so that the project goes from baby crawling, to toddler steps. :-)

I went on a 5:30 hours long hike to my second backyard mountain. About 12km to get there and roughly 9km on the way back. It was super nice, sunny all day long, 12°C and luckily just a little bit of wind. Great scenery. I managed to capture one great spotted woodpecker hammering along. There was also a kestrel hovering over a meadow and then landing on a sports field light pole. At the castle ruin I could watch 10-12 gliding red kites (with the V-shaped tail) and other raptors, maybe bussards, I don’t know, for about five minutes. That was fascinating. Unfortunately, my camera doesn’t too well with moving targets.

Okay folks, I’ve spent all day on this today, and I think its in “good enough”™ shape to share:

@xuu@txt.sour.is Despite that these AoC math text problems are rather silly in my opinion (reminds me of an exercise in our math book where somebody wanted to carry a railroad rail around an L-shaped corner in the house and the question was how long that rail could be so that it still fits — sure, we’ve all carried several meter long railroad rails in our houses by ourselves numerous times…), these algorithms are really neat!

creating vocal tract shapes using the monome grid, and then morphing between them using something like !gest. #halfbakedideas

I want to somehow use my monome grid to build out coarse vocal tract shapes for a physical model like !voc or @!(sndkitref “tract”)!@. 16 diameters with 8 steps of resolution, or 32 diameters with 4 steps of resolution. #halfbakedideas
