everyone tryna trick me into paying like $20/month for programming

NICE TRY!

programming is free, suckas

Working on a big scrollable ASCII landscape with vertical parallax effect for a commission. Sky part is done, still lot of stuff to do on the ground part

#ASCIIart #animation

How am I supposed to get any work done when the maths is so pretty! Look at it flutter by like a butterfly!

This is an animation for "biharmonic spline interpolation" (see also: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11004-011-9346-5).

I'm testing a Julia implementation here which I'd like to use to interpolate the Z-coordinate for meshes that should span a closed curve domain where the x,y, and z are known. Here I created a circle and manipulated the z-coordinates using z=sin(x+a) where a is a phase offset. Next I animated the change of the phase offset to create the wave like motion.

In today's #gleo news: wind data!

Or, more technically: a 2-band raster covering the globe and properly warped (EPSG:4326→EPSG:3857) containing UV speed data, visualised as a particle trail simulation.

Thanks to the #FOSS4GE2025 for providing the environment that has let me pull this off.

Still waiting for journal proofs so I decided to make the paper available on my site. Now with some animated gifs too --- a preprint exclusive! https://zackbatist.info/fuzzy-concrete/#learning-to-see-like-an-archaeologist
Balancing Situated and Objective Representations in Archaeological Fieldwork

Gestern war ein großer Tag für uns: Wir waren beim Notar, um die Gesellschaftsanteile der Active Group vollständig in Mitarbeiter:innen-Hand zu überführen.

#ragnar v0.2.0 is on CRAN #rstats!

It has a MUCH improved chunker; markdown_chunk() picks better boundaries, builds context, segments by headings, and handles overlapping chunks. Oh, and ragnar_retrieve() can deoverlap retrieved chunks now.

Other highlights:
- read_as_markdown() handles HTML better, now supports selectors
- Store inspector now displays chunk context and looks nicer.
- More embedding providers (Google, Databricks, Bedrock)

Website got a big update too: https://ragnar.tidyverse.org

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Workflows

Provides tools for implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows with Large Language Models (LLM). Includes functions for document processing, text chunking, embedding generation, storage management, and content retrieval. Supports various document types and embedding providers (Ollama, OpenAI), with DuckDB as the default storage backend. Integrates with the ellmer package to equip chat objects with retrieval capabilities. Designed to offer both sensible defaults and customization options with transparent access to intermediate outputs. For a review of retrieval-augmented generation methods, see Gao et al. (2023) "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Large Language Models: A Survey" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.10997>.
