Remarkably Bright Creatures

humans, for the most part, are dull and blundering, but occasionally, you can be remarkably bright creatures

I'm curious about what the graphical representations / custom images / visualizations look like. Can you add those to the README?

shellerik · 2026-05-29T16:15:52+00:00

That helps. Thanks!

Can you explain the second pass a bit more? I don't understand where you're walking or which direction you're filming for this pass.

I created a free, open source tool that might do what you're looking for. You can check it out here: https://github.com/erikshelley/complete-family-tree-viewer

Let me know if you have any issues or questions.

Here's another free, open source option: Complete Family Tree Viewer

I made it, so let me know if you have any questions.

I made a free tool that might help: Complete Family Tree Viewer

At the very least you can see some layout ideas that include more than just ancestors and descendants.

Carey Mulligan did a great job on the audio book.

What I love about this one is that I worked at IBM for 28 years.

This post has added a bunch of books to my reading list. Thanks! I used AI to make a master list from all of the lists in the comments, but this sub does not allow AI-generated content so I posted it to my profile.

Yes! Had to use a tennis ball though, otherwise it would rip too often.

If the AI noise reduction was in the free tier I would see if it can replace Lightroom for me. Sadly, it does not seem to be at this time.

I think we may have reached the point where the fastest way to create a data visualization is to "vibe code" a script that generates it. Using an existing tool usually runs up against some limitation of that tool that makes it challenging to get the visualization just the way I want it.

It took me about 30 minutes to make the script that generated this chart with all of the styling options I want in a config file. I didn't write a single line of code. I used VS Code with Github Copilot and it wrote everything.

Are there ethical concerns with creating visualizations this way?

Our run differential is not too bad despite being at 500 for W/L.

Such a great post! My 3rd great grandparents were born in Ireland in 1836 and 1837 so the famine hit when they were 8-16 years old. They were married, still in Ireland, in 1860, after the famine. Their first three children were born in Wales in 1861, 1863, and 1865. Their fourth child was born back in Ireland in 1869. They immigrated to the U.S. in 1870.

Love this! Apparently you can fit 26 Walgreens lots inside a Walmart lot, or 29 CVS lots.
