i wanna make a bot to post these but finding visually pleasing parts isn't easy
@witchfynder_finder it stops me hehehe
@catoutofbed Good thing you aren't a bot
@catoutofbed hmm need a good fitness function for "visually pleasing"
maybe ones with higher spatial frequency components (i.e. more detail)
@morae
i was thinking of trying that
these are all at massively different zooms so
probably you'd have to do random selection of a grid where not all points are escaping?
@morae
otherwise most test zooms will be into a region of where there's low noise and fail and it'd take forever
@catoutofbed yeah it's a bit tricky to structure a search unless you know what direction to move in to get higher frequencies (who knows, there might be a good solver for that optimization problem 🤷♀️ ) but a random walk sounds just as good
@morae
might toy around with it when i'm done
it'd be fun to feed it random fractals too, see what it spits out
@catoutofbed oo yes, then help @maenad set up their strange attractors bot
@catoutofbed @morae i can send you my R script tomorrow
@catoutofbed @morae major obstacle is just "need my server back"
Got the python code to post them and call the r script to generate them
@catoutofbed @morae lent it to a computer illiterate friend to run some code.
Gave her root.
Gonna wipe it as soon as she's done.
you could maybe construct a function to find them
but
they'd probably get pretty samey?
maybe something to try
@catoutofbed the more parameters you randomize on, the better
@catoutofbed I mean, does that ever stop most bots?
