ojo-rojo··on Discovery of fresco portraying Dionysian mysteries at Pompeii
The painting is described in detail, but there is no photograph of it. Isn't that strange? Did I miss a link somewhere?
ojo-rojo··on We See Colors Differently
I'm red-green colorblind. I've recently learned some people have four types of cones in the retina. They have tetrachromatic vision, seeing over a hundred times more colors than I do. I'm fascinated by what kind of a bright vibrant world they see!
ojo-rojo··on Oldest cave art found
How did humans cross these oceans and seas 50 thousand years ago? To land on the Indonesian islands, South Pacific islands, Australia, New Zealand... Did they have massive ships that we'll never know about? Did they learn how to sail? Was it just small rafts and canoes?

Oh, the sea-faring stories these people must have told.

ojo-rojo··on Canoes discovered northwest of Rome are oldest boats ever found in Mediterranean
> now that a team of international researchers revisited the site and published their findings in English in the journal PLOS One, scientists around the world are learning about the boats for the first time

It's regrettable that research had to be published in a specific language for scientists to leverage. Maybe recent advances with language models can change the game here and make knowledge more accessible across all fields.

ojo-rojo··on Ikigai: What We Got Wrong and How to Find Meaning in Life
This kind of reminds me of something Mariko told the Anjin in the show Shōgun. He wanted to leave Japan and be free of rituals and she said something like "If you're always chasing freedom you'll never find yourself."
ojo-rojo··on Another Roman dodecahedron has been unearthed in England
I agree. I started with Anathem then went to A Canticle for Leibowitz. Together they were a fun read, I've put them both on my bookshelf.

Weird, yesterday I tried to text this link to some relatives and it never showed up. We've tried a few variations and it seems every group message we send containing a bleuje . com link is blocked. I guess there's a filter somewhere...? (Android Messages using T-Mobile)
ojo-rojo··on Tennessee after-school Satan club holds first meeting despite protests
The book I have on my bookshelf is called "The Forgotten Books of Eden", subtitled "Lost Books of the Old Testament". This one is a 1980 re-printing of the 1927 book edited by Rutherford Platt. This free PDF looks like a replica: http://www.evreninsirlari.net/dosyalar/155-156_s04_04.pdf

The first two chapters "The First Book of Adam and Eve" and the second, directly deal with their conflict with Satan.

In addition to Biblical content, we should also refer to the biblical apocrypha – those ancient writings that are not included in the traditional Old and New Testaments. There are some fun stories to read in the apocrypha, building on the traditional stories we know.

To your point, I wonder how much Satan plays a part in each of these classes of writings.

ojo-rojo··on Amazon lays off 500 Twitch employees, hundreds more at MGM and Prime Video
Dammit, you just ruined my day. I've been silently waiting for another season of Night Sky for over a year now.
ojo-rojo··on Choosing what to read
A monumental work that still reverberates in my head years after reading it.
ojo-rojo··on Conversation with Zuckerberg, this time we talked as photorealistic avatars
This looks impressive. What's funny is I had an emotional first reaction that I'm going to be old and gray by the time fully body scanning is readily available. No longer my young supple self. Silly, I know.
ojo-rojo··on Rethinking the Luddites
What about this guy:

"the most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI, under anything remotely like the current circumstances, is that literally everyone on Earth will die"

"Shut down all the large GPU clusters...be willing to destroy a rogue datacenter by airstrike"

ojo-rojo··on Parrondo's Paradox
Your comment made me laugh. I feel like that often. Luckily, I read the simple example first :D
ojo-rojo··on Show HN: I trained an AI model on 120M+ songs from iTunes
I've never commented on HN before, but I feel compelled. Congrats, you get my first.

I've been using your site for 10 minutes and already added song after song to my library. I'm sure you'll improve the matching algorithm over time. This is a great first step; I'm being exposed to songs I've never come across before.

Good job!
