  • Of course. You need about 1 hair per 2x2 pixels on a 1080p screen and 4x4 on a 4K screen. That totals about 10,000 hairs per icon in the simulation, which can be precomputed into animations. Third-party icons will be 2D (or 2.5D if the FG/BG layer of the icon is handled separately, doubling the animation data). Now it’s “just” a matter of drawing 10,000-20,000 lines with precomputed shading and textures from the icon’s 100x100 bitmap render.

    Also, the GPU is only used by apps while they’re in the foreground, so the launcher might be able to use all of its power. And it could cache animations for existing icons (who cares if the system uses 32 GB of storage? Buy the higher option, peasant!)

    Nah, too cold. It stopped moving and the computer can’t generate any more random numbers to pick from the LLM’s weighted suggestions. Similarly, some LLMs have a setting called “heat”: too cold and the output is repetitive, unimaginative and overly copying input (like sentences written by first autocomplete suggestions), too hot and it is chaos: 98% nonsense, 1% repeat of input, 1% something useful.


  • Yes! And I’d much rather haz ICAN than ICANN. They are OK with numbers but their names department is run by a bunch of clowns.

    • - “Can I uze a word plz?” - “Submit an application, we take them every 10+ years for $300K each and you’ll get a reply in 12-18 months”
    • - “You’re deprecating .io? What about my domain?” - “Get fucked”

    I’m referencing “ICANN haz .meow?”, a slogan by the .meow campain (Fully funded now!)
