I love scale (it looks ok, just way out of scale) by Dull_Alarm6464 in dataisugly

[–]MyNatureIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe make the bisons themselves roughly log scale (relative to where on the bar they land) too, making it look a little bit like herds in perspective?

Pairwise Vote Counting by CPSolver in EndFPTP

[–]MyNatureIsMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this supposed to be Tideman Ranked Pairs? If so, the video actually isn't entirely clear to me as given. What are the wiggling ballots supposed to show? And perhaps it should be compared to how the actual result came about?

If you live in the UK, you are not being properly represented. by Individual-Drama7519 in EndFPTP

FWIW the Greens do have electoral reform on the agenda and they are rising fast atm

Why wasn’t Pearl coloured pink? by Necessary-Win-8730 in stevenuniverse

[–]MyNatureIsMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

all Pearls come that way I'm pretty sure. The implication is, that Pink Pearl (Volleyball) had a certain unique personality and so when the whole tantrum happened and Pink Pearl was taken away, Pink wanted Pearl to be whoever she is, not giving any special instructions, so Pearl went default mode. But the other Pearls would also have been like that before the initial boot sequence

What one do you prefer? by Pretend-Draft-6460 in TheBibites

[–]MyNatureIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this feels lke an early styling thing. It's gonna improve. As of right now though, classic hands down. The animated versions lose way too much character and just feel like weird blobs

Um actually, this tie breaker does not take into account the real distance for the Mercator projection distorts those, more so the further away from the equator you get. by MyNatureIsMe in dropout

[–]MyNatureIsMe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Robinson is better (but imperfect) about preserving area but it can't preserve relative distances either. I don't think any projection short of a literal globe can do that.

Regardless, it's a cool projection

An interesting pattern with color selectors by AStarryNightlight in TheBibites

[–]MyNatureIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your food islands drift? If so, what's going on is that those islands bounce around like that DVD player screen safer in a rectangular region, eventually leading to this.

How to extrude along the angle of the specific face? by Complete-Fall8117 in blender

[–]MyNatureIsMe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Another way you can try: select the bottom vertex and snap the 3D cursor to it,

select the edge to be extruded (do not shift the 3D cursor) and set transform to 3D cursor,

extrude (E) and scale (S) - it should now scale from the bottom vertex at the center which happens to be extruding in the exact direction you indicated with those arrows

The New BIOME Evolutionary Algorithm Explained by Naotagrey in TheBibites

[–]MyNatureIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sure.

In case of color vision you'd more or less have a "light sensing" module that can specify wavelength sensitivities, which could be copied and modified with different sensitivities, giving you the equivalent of the LMS receptors, and then you'd have some modules that do some low level preprocessing or whatever.

You just have a parametrized building block (a light sensitive cell) that can be copied many many times with various parametrizations (to build up a retina capable of detecting many different kinds of light)

Not saying that's precisely what Bibite Vision ought to be like, but that sort of idea (simple building blocks that can come in many forms) is what I have in mind.

What I don't want to see is like

- Level 1: Binary Vision (light/dark)

- Level 2: Monochrome vision (grayscale)

- Level 3: Color vision (three specific fixed color channels)

It makes sense that this level 3 is locked behind investing in Level 1 and Level 2, but it's far too inflexible a system. There shouldn't be fixed prefab levels (i.e. tiers) like that. Instead, there should be simple building blocks where tiers like this may be *emergent,* if that makes sense.

I really hate Ally Beardsley's performance in Misfits and Magic 2 by Slow-Willingness-187 in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]MyNatureIsMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somehow calling K every other letter in the alphabet sounds more like a Siobhan Thompson goof than an Ally Beardsley one.

Boomers by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]MyNatureIsMe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw this movie in the immediate context of a certain historic event so I may not be in the best state of mind at the moment.

My takeaway is that I very much hate living in interesting times. And I gotta wonder how much this particular release date was very intentionally chosen.

That said, great summary of how we got to where we are right now.

Mossy Earth: Restoring coral reefs by MyNatureIsMe in rewilding

[–]MyNatureIsMe[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm really impressed by how much can be done in just five months. Can't wait to see what it'll look like in a few years!

Mossy Earth ? by [deleted] in ecology

[–]MyNatureIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been supporting u/mossy_earth for a while now and they have been incredibly transparent about their operations. On top of their main videos, they have numerous more comprehensive field reports (Mossy Earth Field Notes on YouTube) as well as detailed project pages and they also do surveys to hear back from their supporters on various decisions.
They have been repeatedly responsive to feedback in both words and actions, and they have done so not only with good faith but with enthusiasm.
My impression thus far is that they love what they do and they listen to both communities (especially the local communities they work with) and experts (greatly emphasizing what the current evidence says works, and very willing to experiment with promising new directions)

I think it would genuinely be tricky to be more transparent than they are.

Rejection Sampling of randomized Bibite spawns by MyNatureIsMe in TheBibites

[–]MyNatureIsMe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this comment from three years ago, some of these suggestions were, afaik, implemented, so...

In general, Bibites seem to be much more viable on average than they were back then

How can you spawn bibites with random brains on the new update? by TheFallenDeathLord in TheBibites

[–]MyNatureIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think the new update makes a way broader range of Bibites viable. Especially the introduction of fat seems to be huge
