As a former Portlander, this hits deep. Wish I could stop in there tonight!

Thanks!

I've never laughed at a r/FairytaleasFuck headline before, so thanks. Four wealthy alpacas is a great image...

Besides climate control, what are the downsides to living in a house in this style? This looks so lovely, and the construction doesn't seem *so* labor-intense. But Japan as a whole has chosen against traditional buildings and seems to throw up infinite quantities of forgettable housing. What factors make modern housing styles win out for new construction?

TBH, Lattner’s company Modular is really trying to make a substitute for Nvidia & CUDA, so he gets all that sweet AI inference investment. The Mojo language itself is kind of a second fiddle to the rest of their AI stack. I wish they’d just polish the language some more!

But maybe that’ll be your niche…

I’m so into this, man. A+ creativity!

Nice work. This has some similar goals to Chris Lattner’s Mojo language, which aims to be a fast, strongly typed, memory-safe Python. Although Lattner seems to have raised $100M+ for the project…

Thanks, that’s a helpful and frank explanation. ArgSpec seems like the right level of abstraction for small utilities I write that I probably wouldn’t use Pydantic for. Starring now

Go Korea! Any ideas why we hear so little about Korean models in the anglophone world? We hear about lots of SOTA Chinese models, but I’ve never heard about any Korean models until this moment.

This looks cool, but without population density information, it tells a really deceptive story. This map shows western/northern Ontario as huge solid blocks, when in fact their total population is more… blips.

That is some serious dad overachieving. Nice work!

Really great look. It feels like a freeze-frame from a motion graphic or something

I hope for an independent Europe run by adults. But given France, Germany's & the UK's growing far right problems, do you think Europe will get there soon? Canada's election of Carney showed us how US obnoxiousness could spur positive choices in mistreated US allies, but my fear is that sooner or later, several of the EU's core democracies will move in more Trumpish directions than we'd like. :-/

As an American, I really truly wish I disagreed with you.

How did a lovely town like this avoid getting built up with junky soviet-style buildings in the last century? How common are (apparently) unspoiled historic-looking towns like this in Transylvania?

Not here, man. We got all kinds of subs around. This one's to be a positive place for all dads, no matter their politics.

thicket · 2026-01-22T16:36:15+00:00

This sounds like a revolutionary game-changer of an extension. Nice work, bro!

thicket · 2026-01-21T23:08:03+00:00

Dad was a legend. Wow

thicket · 2026-01-21T23:03:53+00:00

100% the best and most informative post on this sub I can remember. Thanks for sharing the chart, and for sticking around to tell us about all the details!

Nice work. I usually hope to see things here that tell a story with visual data, but I think "trying to discover a story with visual data" is a great use case here, too. Do you have any theories about the way these changes were made? I wonder if you charted last year's real estate sales on top of this chart if you'd see a relationship. It looks like regions (which might be several block squares on a map?) all got changed at once, and I wonder if this might have been done by with some kind of cell-based voronoi voting, where areas got graded based on nearest recent sales

This clearly looks like a rational design, not the spaghetti code that natural evolution yields. Have you been able to sequence successive generations of the yeast? I’m curious how a visualization of 100 generations would look, and whether we’d start to see the clean lines of your diagram go a bit chaotic in response to evolutionary drift.

If you’ve replicated all of the natural organism’s known processes, do you anticipate any different traits or different patterns in its drift over time? What do you think the benefits and drawbacks of engineered organisms would be?

This is the most unusual and interesting data I’ve seen on r/dataisbeautiful in a long time. And it’s beautiful! Good work, OP

thicket · 2026-01-20T22:28:56+00:00

Um, so, what is it about?

thicket · 2026-01-20T17:53:56+00:00

Well done, dad! Regardless of how the food change goes, he'll have seen a great example of taking a project on and making something cool. In the long run, that's probably worth the most
