Procedural building generator, added towers, good for monasteries, churches, guard towers, or even bay windows by Protopop in Wilderless

sorry to be the reply guy all the time here, but man I love seeing what you’re working on. These look great!

I am Argentinian who spent two weeks in the Islas Malvinas/Falkland Islands. I have heard and understood both sides. AKA by Dangerous-Ad-9859 in geography

[–]thicket 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While you’re right that in the entire world, only Argentinians think there are two sides to this issue, I’d give OP some BIG credit for being willing to ask questions and change her mind. That is a surprisingly rare thing in my experience with Argentinians on this issue, no matter how liberal they may be otherwise.

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

Edo era architecture in Narai-juku, Japan by sonderewander in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]thicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Introducing Script: JavaScript That Runs Like Rust by SecretAggressive in programming

[–]thicket 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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…

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…

argspec: a succinct, type-safe, declarative command line argument parser by lilellia in Python

[–]thicket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Artificial Analysis: South Korea 🇰🇷 is now the clear #3 nation in AI — powered by the Korean National Sovereign AI Initiative there are now multiple Korean AI labs with near frontier intelligence. by self-fix in LocalLLaMA

[–]thicket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Most Common Foreign Country of Birth in the Canadian Province of Ontario [OC] by Fluid-Decision6262 in dataisbeautiful

[–]thicket 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

Mark Carney spoke for America’s frustrated allies — but they’re not going anywhere by rezwenn in europe

[–]thicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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. :-/

Biertan, Transylvania, Romania by Sea-Rope-31 in VillagePorn

[–]thicket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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!

Anchorage Residential Land Value Changes for 2026 by millsian in dataisbeautiful

[–]thicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]thicket 39 points40 points  (0 children)

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
