I would have liked to have filmed the inking of this tiny wren and the shrub's very fine branches with this brush, but I needed to get especially close to the piece for this and it would have been too awkward.

Detail from a silhouette drawing in black ink of a tiny bird perched on a small, leafless shrub. The head of a hen just makes it into the crop, opposite the bird. The drawing is very fine and intricate. The detail shown is roughly comparable in size to two postage stamps, and is photographed with a penny and the traditional Chinese brush the piece was drawn with.

Premium: The AI Bubble's promises are impossible. NVIDIA's customers are running out of money, GPUs die in 3-5 years, most 1GW data centers will never get built, and OpenAI's Abilene data center doesn't won't have the power it needs before 2028 - if it ever does.

Readers: I’ve done a very generous “free” portion of this newsletter, but I do recommend paying for premium to get the in-depth analysis underpinning the intro. That being said, I want as many people ...

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

it's been a while

tiny & Tall comic strip, "Pairs". 3 panels.
1 : A Renaissance monarch is presented with the work of two painters. One has painted him as a splendid knight atop a terribly-drawn horse, the other as a stick figure riding a gorgeously rendered horse. He goes "Mmh."
2 : The brilliant monarch has an idea. Bringing his hands together in a didactic way, he announces "you two shall work in pair to bring your strengths together."
3 : Later, in his office, the aftermath of his decision haunts him : a painting of him as a shitty knight atop a shitty horse. He is displeased.

here's the deal with Gleipnir: the first one was made with an amazing point & click engine called Visionaire studio. With absolutely no coding experience, I made and shipped a game in 2018 and it sits at almost 200 reviews, 92% positive. In 2023 I started making the sequel, using the same engine.

Another oldie I really enjoy named The Twin Rivers.

Classic fantasy map of a small county crossed by two rivers. It shows farms, bridges, forts, a great forest, dwarven mines, a halfling village and other notable places like an academy. At the center of the map is the city of Wellmet.

Very handy to have a standalone foliage material - you can use the material blend node to combine it with pretty much any thing ✨🍃

This is based on my favorite thing that George R.R. Martin has written: The Tales of Dunk and Egg.

It’s a series of 3 novellas - a completed work within the larger universe, and an absolutely delightful read.

I highly recommend it and will probably reread it again before the show comes out.

C'est vraiment une histoire à part, très peu liée aux événements de ASOIAF, mais parfaite à mon sens. Pas de dragons, pas de magie, juste un chevalier errant et son petit écuyer dans un pays hanté par la guerre civile 👌

Vipère @troglodette.bsky.social · 1d

in my opinion the best story aside from ASOIAF, hope you like it! ♥
