New article on my site: HyAB k-means for color quantization
In which I try to improve color clustering with a different distance function. It's a simple technique in the end but it's pretty hard to evaluate if it's an improvement or not!

Conosciamo tutti la storia della sua #eruzione ma come spesso accade preferisco l'altro mondo a questo. È perciò a un episodio di #doctorwho che mi sono ispirato per il titolo: The fire of Pompei

Today in Labor History July 9, 1947: The Greek government ordered the arrest of 11,500 people on charges of plotting a Communist revolution. It occurred during the Greek Civil War (1943-1949), between Royalists (supported by the UK and US) and various Communist factions (supported by Yugoslavia and the USSR). It was the first US proxy war against Russia during the Cold War. Well over 200,000 people died and over 1 million were displaced. Nearly 80 years later, the U.S. continues its attempts to usurp Russia’s regional hegemony through another proxy war. This war has a similar number of deaths and refugees, but in only one-third the amount of time. And this time, both nations possess nuclear arsenals large enough to destroy the planet several times over.

La próxima semana sale la nueva novela de una de mis autoras mexicanas favoritas (diría que es mi favorita, pero no quiero equivocarme). Si no le han leído, se están perdiendo de varias joyas.
#SilviaMorenoGarcia #TheBewitching #Books #Bookstodon #Libros #Horror
@operationwatchtower one of her best works.
Another one I quite enjoyed was #CertainDarkThings, it rose to my top 10 instantly.
To Rouse Leviathan is ahead of Mexican Gothic.
Hopefully I can get to it in August.

Today in Labor History July 9, 1935: The Squeegee Strike began in New York, in protest of the dismissals of six subway car cleaners who refused a work speed-up. All were reinstated and most of the union’s grievances were resolved. It was the first successful strike by the new Transport Workers Union (TWU), created in 1934 by 7 NYC subway workers who belonged to the Irish nationalist organization Clan na Gael. They were inspired by the socialism and trade union work of James Connolly, one of the founding members of the IWW . The TWU was a militant industrial union, organizing all workers in the industry, regardless of skill or job title. The union quickly expanded to include workers in all transport industries, throughout the U.S.

For classical music devotees, here’s a nice little spotlight on the Takács Quartet…
#NATO’s 2025 summit was all about one thing: money.
The U.S. pushed Europe to jack up military spending to 5% of GDP—even as social programs suffer and the war in Ukraine winds down. Europe’s arms industry isn’t even ready, and there’s no clear threat.
But hey, austerity and fear sell.

in reply to David Gerard • • •So, if I get this right, Cursor is the dealer on the corner that gave away cheap bags and now the people are hooked and they've hiked the price and cut the product deeper.
In the meantime Cursor is dangling on the same string with their supplier.
This is bound to go well.
