#samplings
chuck's apple samplings and reviews are informative, amusing, and very seasonal right about now. soothing, even
I reviewed a new apple to me -- the Star Lady, or Api Etoile, or Funfeckapfel -- and it looks like a Super Mario power-up.

And no, I don't know why Bluesky refuses to preview images from my posts anymore, it's very annoying.

Something I ponder a lot is the oft-discussed importance of like opening weekend for so much media... a lot of algoslop on yt etc is all about just being what floods the new releases page. Sometimes I feel like even being truly random samplings may be more interesting from a systematic point of view

Do we need samplings?

although samplings kill a lot of these animals...

Zeigt, dass ein konstanter Photonenverlust eine klassische Polynomsimulation von Boson-Sampling-Ausgängen ermöglicht, was die Ansprüche auf Quantenvorteil in jüngsten Experimenten wie Jiuzhang 4.0 in Frage stellt, die mit festen Verlustquoten arbeiten.

Mistigram: a variety of #ASCIIart (block ASCII, Unicode) styles are on display in the creepy new MIST1026 artpack collection. Here are some samplings to show the spooky scope demonstrated. Browse it today at the 16colo.rs web gallery!

❄️🌊Our researcher 👩‍🔬Katrin Knittel and her team undertake six ex­ped­i­tions to #Svalbard🇳🇴 this year to col­lect samples and data from all sea­sons. Read about their latest experiences, including #dolphin encounters and samplings ashore, in their blog:

Daily reminder: Israel has been brutalizing and pulsating the Geneva Convention since the 40s (Post-WW2).

No amount of progressivism will ever clench this horrid pariah state's thirst for Palestinian blood samplings.

Fuck Israel. It'll never embark democracy and therefore shouldn't exist at all.

KC Current have clinched an #NWSL playoff spot but a win over Washington Spirit today will put them closer to hosting.

Flags are flying, folks are everywhere, and Cutwater samplings were handed out at CPKC Stadium.

Let’s get rowdy.

Check out this conversation with Victor Vallo from the Syracuse Chamber Orchestra. Their concert is coming up tomorrow (Sunday, 10/25 at 3pm at Park Central Presbyterian Church, Syracuse.)

Thanks for the insights, Victor!

“Symphony Samplings” with Syracuse Chamber Orchestra
What a joy to catch up with Victor Vallo, founder and music director of the Syracuse Chamber Orchestra in advance of tomorrow's concert. We talked about the concert, the incredible musicians who perform, and learned a bit about Victor's programming choices. The concert is coming up Sunday, October 25 at 3pm at Park Central Presbyterian Church in Syracuse. Check out the podcast below:

immersion learning👀...I haven’t seen many people who surround themselves with datapoints and samplings to learn.

How I have learned since a wee one. 🫣

Good to know there are some others out there..😊

The book looks super good. Did you read "More everything forever" @adambecker.bsky.social ?

Do not take what the polls are telling you as truth. Polls are only samplings of information provided by people who answer their phone when an unknown number calls.

Vote! Vote! Vote! If you really care about this country and the its future, you vote!

A little elbow grease for a healthier ecosystem! 🌿

Our South San Francisco Twisters partnered with San Mateo Parks to remove invasive species (pampas grass and pine tree samplings) at Pillar Point Bluffs.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time to help!

"The announcement of the alleged crimes and arrests come amid a national reckoning over sexual misconduct on college campuses."

I see news stories - a few high-profile samplings from an endless stream - and a hell of a lot of anger. I haven't seen any reckoning.

I cannot believe how time flies, we are officially TWO WEEKS from FE: Vampire Weekend! ✨⚰️

And from all many samplings people have been offering us this month it looks like it's going to be a delectable experience. ཐི ₍^. ̞.^₎ ཋྀ

seems like if there were ambiguity in the first choice, it would show up in repeated samplings, but it doesn’t seem to…

Das Framework quantifiziert, wie Dephasing in bedarfsgesteuerten Einzelphoton-Arrays die Ergebnisse des Mehrphoton-Boson-Samplings beeinflusst und ermöglicht das Design von Chip-skalierten quantenoptischen Schaltkreisen mit realistischen Photon-Eigenschaften.

The original original thesis was just keep dropping fire and sauce samplings, the idea being give out enough free fire so when it comes to a $15-$20 movie ticket…it an issue. You got more than ur money’s worth and the movie was fire. 🤷‍♂️ made sense in theory 🤷‍♂️

Too few people remember that,, with partner Jemaine, he created Flight of the Conchords, introducing samplings of kosher wines and jellies to accompany nachos served on SST’s to the Orthodox Mexican community. You can’t make this stuff up.

From the writing samplings I've seen, I have come to the following conclusion:
