Dogs in the backyard

Also, using a fractional derivative filter to emulate halation and the substrate in film. Taken with a Pixel 10 Pro (edited)

Fractional Derivative Filter

More examples of the filter applied to photos. Basically it emulates halation you get from film, since it somewhat simulate how light bounces around in the substrate.

Thoughts on the meta narrative in Backrooms?

I thought the focus on imperfect copies was pretty interesting and there's just a lot to go off of from there. Could be multiple themes or at least multiple interpretations! I really do feel like there were some statements about art. 1) BACKROOMS COPIES Backrooms spawned a lot of copycats across… read more

After 50 muscle mass...

As we pass age 50, maintaining lean muscle mass isn't just about fitness—it’s critical for metabolic health, mobility, and longevity. However, aging causes "anabolic resistance," meaning muscles become less responsive to standard dietary protein. Science highlights two key compounds to combat… read more

Late Son Part 1

The Forgotten Door Steven woke to stone. Cold beneath his back, close on either side, the kind of corridor built for maintenance rather than people. No chains. No pain. His magic was there—present, patient—but it lay coiled instead of reaching. That alone told him this wasn’t a trap meant to hold… read more

Great romance movies? Books?

Not nonsense like "the notebook" or other cliché, over-marketed derivative stuff. What's something you came across that shaped your understanding of redemancy, limerance & love?

Find the derivative of y= (e^7x)(sin 7x) Sorry needed help, thank you 🙏

Thought provoking

So here is a random thought to get the cogs in your mind turning. What is the real derivative to marriage? Nothing more changes except now you can file taxes together. Inherit the others debt/assets. There are very few advantages to marriage itself other than to envoke a wedding. A couple could do… read more

Dig down to the deepest level of reality, the smallest things that exist, the building blocks of everything else. What’s there at the very bottom? That’s what’s ‘fundamental’. Everything else is derivative, built up from the bottom. So what’s there at the bottom? So what’s fundamental?

what is the Derivative of...

d/dx sin²(2x) = a. 4sin(2x) * cos(2x) b. -2sin(2x) * sin(2x) c. -4cos(2x) * cos(2x) d. another ( comment below )

Random brainworm that pops up from time to time...

How come we have a word that describes the loss of all the common senses except smell? Sight = Blind Hearing = Deaf Touch = Numb Taste = ...err...Cottonmouth? Might have a more medical term And dont say "nose-blind" cuz thats just derivative and more used in specific situations not all… read more

Am I good or bad at science

When it comes to understanding concepts, I can quickly not only understand when to use theories. However, I don't like going deeper into solving specific problem let's say derivative equations.

JJK is derivative

It’s not bad, but it’s not original. You’d be better off with chainsaw man. Or so many other series that came before

Either Universe is a derivative of Love or the Love is derivative of Universe!

Disappointing films

The most disappointing movies I have seen so far this year have been Batman 2024 Rebel moon (derivative of star wars)? What's yours? (edited)

Free willed creativity

Is it more important to abide by social standards and fit in or to embrace one’s creativity and experience the hardships that come with it? To not be a individual expression, regardless of its origin, seems to me to be non existence. Sure I could go with the ebb and flow of entropy like humans… (edited) read more

Derivative! - A gift from my buddy

Lord of Spilled Blood

I just finished this one. I found it to be pretty good. It’s less derivative than the previous two. I really enjoyed the concept of the system as an interactive part of the storyline.

Needs

"change is the derivative of need" as they say. But, when we want love from others, we often change ourselves to make them like us. But this goes against the idea of loving who we really are, because we end up changing just to feel loved.
