Dithertime by makew0rld

makew0rld.itch.io/dithertime

At long last! I haven't bought it and going to atm, but I'm already sure it's the best dithering software. It's powered by the library makew0rld had made before. Nice.

Study: Butterfly and Moth Genomes Have Remained Largely Intact through 250M Years of Evolution | Sci.News

www.sci.news/genetics/lepidopteran-genomes-12718.html

This stability exists despite the incredible diversity seen today in wing patterns, sizes, and caterpillar forms across over 160,000 species globally, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.

It is rather like how fish can stay in the same place in a flowing river. They have to swim against the current. Similarly, in the absence of evolution, the genome would degrade due to accumulated mutations. Natural selection constantly selects against non-adaptive mutations. The genome of a creature which is as well adapted as it can be for a particular environment does not change because it cannot be better adapted than it already is.

<> (?x ?y swap) (?y ?x)
<> ( ?x pop) ()

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is Autocorrelation – Economics from the Top Down

economicsfromthetopdown.com/2022/04/08/the-dunning-kruger-effect-is-autocorrelation

The Dunning-Kruger effect states that incompetent people overestimate their competence. You've heard of that before, probably. Turns out, there is a major error in the statistics: the effect is actually nothing more than an autocorrelation. If we measure the stuff correctly, the effect disappears.

Myopic Experiences and Distant Observers

venam.nixers.net/blog/philosophy/2023/07/02/myopic-experiences.html

A fish in the water doesn’t know what water is, a fish would also be a horrible swimming instructor.

The subjective experiencer definitely knows something that the observer doesn’t, but there are probably things that the observer can understand that they can’t and they might not be able to ever grasp it.
