I got some interesting answers from the askmath subreddit for the convex shapes of hexagons problem.
Open Minis is a brilliant app, and is based on roughly the same iSH-derived ARM64 core I used for ios-linuxkit (which I wrote about when I released it). I went all-out on generic Linux runtime support–Alpine, language runtimes, compilers...
Shooting in monochrome (black and white) really forces me to notice those hidden pockets of light, shadow and texture. Those people you see standing apart, somewhat intensly, staring up intently at a corner of ceiling in a public space,...
This second post by Neil Selwyn and his collaborators shares some of the preliminary results from their research survey, which was discussed in an RW post earlier this year ‘Academics’ uses of GenAI‘. Image from Lance Chang |...
I only ever use Siri to set timers and turn on Do Not Disturb. It's pretty good at those things. It is very, very bad at many other things. I'll often have one AirPod in for music or podcasts when I'm doing chores around the house (I...
A tree. That's the post.
While I should have known, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a summer banger Dumas’s The Count of Monte Cristo is. I may only be a fourth of the way through this opus, but it’s one of the breeziest 19th century reads I’ve wrangled, and...
Hello, loves! Looks like there are a couple of methods where our new Cameras object could help out. Here are all the DungeonView users of the Camera object: def on_draw(self): self.clear() self.scroll_dungeon_camera() with...
A little while ago Kevin mentioned he saw the Edge4Go OPNsense hardware from Thomas Krenn at a Linux convention. And yeah, it looked nice. The specs are really nice compared to the price. Especially the Intel Celeron which beats most...
BookStrange Pictures by Uketsu, translated by Jim Rion SynopsisSeemingly unrelated stories about drawings found on an abandoned blog, a child’s drawing in pre-school, and an art teacher who’d made a quick sketch on the day he went...
The Solana deployment of the Across bridge was hacked for around $3.35 million. According to Across, the stolen funds belonged to Risk Labs, the foundation supporting the project, rather than users of the bridge. Tweet by Across Protocol...
llms have been on my mind while chatting with a few startups (see my previous post on how i feel about that) in some negative ways - but the recent jacobian conjecture counterexample is pretty cool! I took a lot of math courses during...
This is an article I resisted writing for a long time. I didn’t pull the trigger in the mid-2010s, in the glory days of the SF Bay Area rationalist movement. I resisted the urge after the arrest of the rationalist-aligned financier, Sam...
(no, this isn't a blog post about Joy Division songs) Last time I wrote about Interzone, I was discussing issue #294, the first published under new management in a paperback-sized format ("JB6"). The format and presentation of the...
I stand on a flat, high-altitude plain scattered with rocks of various sizes, sparse grass and wildflowers filling the cracks between them. The uninterrupted line of dirt and smaller stones stretching before and behind me gives the...
