Sigh. This COVID thing. There's only one number that matters. The retransmission rate. If it's below 1.0, we're good. If it's 1.0 or above, we're TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY FUCKED. Simple math. If it's 1.0 or above, then it is 100% certain that we need to shut everything the fuck down. You can check here: https://rt.live

God damn I am tired of idiots.

Philx doing a super cool old school Eddie Van Halen impression... doing tapping licks without tapping, no whammy bar action. Still... sounds very EVH.

This is a cool "boids" implementation with some predator-prey dynamics in there as well:

Predator/prey populations are graphed (red = predator, blue = prey).

Found this on reddit, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/proceduralgeneration/comments/gwa8wf/boids_with_a_few_twists/

The emergent population dynamics seem to match real world population dynamics reasonably (predator and prey populations oscillate, with prey populations leading predator populations in time). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%E2%80%93Volterra_equations
