This was beautifully written 🫶 I was truly moved and grateful that you shared this, you truly are an inspiration ❤️

Good morning✌️🍀

My nicest pen has my favorite ink: TWSBI Diamond stub with De Atramentis scented Cola ink.

There’s a certain peace to just unplugging and let the pen glide across the paper (or as my emo past called it “bleeding ink onto paper”)
But I never considered the possibility of using speech to text to get my physical writing onto the laptop, always used to type it out with my feeble 60wpm speed

Ooooh so I have been drawing from my wrist since i was little it seems. Thank youu for this 🫶❤️ guess I’m going to fill these pages with boxes and circles as far as the eye can see

Thanks for the tip on -ai 👌🏻 didn’t know about it until just now

A scene from the good place where Jason says, any time i had a problem and i threw a Molotov cocktail boom right away i had a different problem

Yes owning it will solve all of your problems 😆

That explains it, I’m just in
✨ maintenance mode ✨

Been getting into sketching after being overloaded with work lately and my experience so far:

Tutorial: Draw a circle and add marks and details.

> Tries to draw a circle
> Realizes how bad I’m at drawing circles
> realizes now I’m bad at drawing circles AND faces.

PS: It’s a me problem

For me I started wondering whether I really need to send a message to R so that a static text can be changed by the click of a button

Spongebob holding a piece of paper with the word The written in calligraphy

That’s a good motivation to go with 🔥 can’t wait to see your calligraphy practice pieces more than the final one 😌

Of course the book at the bottom reminded me of ‘The’ spongebob moment

Niceee 🫶 you can progress the medieval history arc by getting oblique pens or italic nibs 😆🥹

Yesss! I had a LAMY Safari in the Terracotta color with a fine nib.
My recs would be the TWSBI Go (still use it for journaling), Jinhao x750 and the pilot kakuno and metropolitan. I haven’t tried the pilot ones but I have heard they were good. Super excited to see the colors you pick 💅

Let’s gooo 🔥 I freaking love fountain pens too, are those fine nibs or extra fine?

The third time was the charm 👌🏻
Those 10 minutes really did some heavy lifting 😆

So @driven-by-data.net just launched SveltePlot, which merges my 2 fav things in #DataViz: Svelte and the Grammar of Graphics. 100% going to use this!

I would recommend the tf+keras route since it’s less pythonic and works out of the box.
Personally I don’t use it because I felt a lot more consistent community support and less api changes for torch compared to tf.
