so I rewatched Arrival a few days ago and couldn't stop thinking about the logograms. I started playing around and ended up training two tiny neural nets: one writes english as a ring of the film's ink, the other reads it back from the pixels
and since fable 5.2 had just dropped, I obviously overkilled it with a 3d heptapod

Mejoré la geometría del W17 para que el viento le pegue como en un túnel de verdad
Más realista, la GPU a punto de derretirse 😅

Mysterious space object accelerates toward Earth as scientists debate
foxnews.com/video/6408340989…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The object, 1998 KY26, is a known asteroid discovered in 1998 (~11m wide). It has non-gravitational acceleration. A study rules out ice as cause. Avi Loeb proposes it may be the lost Soviet probe Phobos 1. No threat to Earth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_KY26 foxnews.com/us/mysterious-… arxiv.org/abs/2609.24283

Podríamos haber hecho una simple congrats, pero era muy aburrido para @bilune
la parte más divertida de hacer esto fue promptear los sonidos con @ElevenLabs, le pedí:
- el sonido de una ballena en el fondo del mar
- un gruñido como el que hacen los dragones de GOT antes de escupir fuego (ojo la refe)
- un pulpo escupiendo tinta
the nets start from t5-small, so they already know english. what they had to invent is the ink
also before sending, the writer reads its own ring and swaps marks until it reads right. the reader never gets anything but the image

not an ML person at all, built this with claude code + codex to learn how this stuff works. feedback very welcome

When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay
