These numbers are staggering — in themselves and in the steepness of the climb
A huge number of people - 456 - died homeless in the Portland area last year. Many of them, like the three features int he report, were relatively young and died of overdoses. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
456 people experiencing homelessness died in Multnomah County in 2023, up 45% from 2022
The average age of people who died in the Portland area without a home in 2023 was 46, 30 years younger than the average U.S. life expectancy.

And the rocks with their steepness,
And the earth with its starkness:
All these I place,
By God's almighty help and grace
Between myself and the powers of darkness!”

The star of this update is of course the new stairs! Initially the tool set was intended for stairs alone, but we've designed it to also accommodate bridges and walkways.
Stairs turn into platforms & ladders depending on steepness, and can be attached to walls and flattened roofs.

Always sobering to come across graphs that show emission reductions required to stay below 1.5 and 2°C. The steepness of the curve is an excellent reality check

Fascinated by the steepness of the music one. I've seen papers about that before: there's a period of life, centered somewhere around age 16, where music just hits differently, and what you liked then tends to stay with you as the best you've ever heard.
Great Washington Post nostalgia study. Adults think U.S. society was historically nicest and comfiest—most moral and close-knit, families happiest—whenever they happened to be little kids, and culture (music, movies, TV, fashion, sports, food) best whenever they were adolescents. wapo.st/3WXd9xS

The Brent crude prompt timespread is currently over *$9/bbl*, a new all-time record.
Timespreads measure the steepness of the crude futures curve, which at the front (prompt) reflects how tight—loose if neg—the spot market is.
The oil market has literally never been this tight.

if i know anything about the source engine character controller, you can walk up those stairs as though they're normal width/steepness and ascend rapidly
This is the plughole at Ladybower Reservoir in the Peak District, England:
a large circular drain that controls water levels and prevents flooding when the reservoir becomes too full.

The study shows that such extreme events are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more severe. The steepness of the rise was not foreseen. The researchers say they are amazed and alarmed by the latest figures from Nasa’s Grace satellite. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I still believe that everyone is too fixated on the state of play in AI right now (which labs are ahead, how to manage costs, etc.) and not focused enough on the continued steepness of the capability curve for AI
At higher capabilities (like the ones expected in the near term), a lot changes fast.

I think the magnitude of our influence, the steepness of the fall, and the vacuum left combine to make this something of a bigger problem.

Making progress! None of the spooky math is in yet, but my Ocean Shader now has a working Settings Generator with a bunch of curves-based params. Seen here: Wave "Steepness", Steepness Spread between all waves in the spectrum, Directionality Randomness, and Global Wind Direction. 🧵

@drtobydriver.bsky.social @durotrigesdig.bsky.social Hard to believe the steepness in the reconstruction image until you look at the contours! Quite a landscape feature - used to pass it en route to X-country skiing in the late '90s.
