the coordinator will look down and shout "Stop experimenting now...Parent needsresultimmediately". and I'll whisper "No."

I always thought that The Simcluster™ is norvid's name for the cluster that would contain the largest fraction of people who understand things like clustering algorithms, if you hypothetically applied Twitter's simcluster algorithm to bluesky

made progress on touch-based piece rotation. i still don't think this is tuned properly but this is more playable than pressing buttons

found an old Knuth paper where he talks about hexiamonds. i might have to add hexiamond mode, this might be fun on the k=6 subdivisions version of the icosahedron

octahedron boards are implemented. so far it's definitely harder for me to reason about pieces placed at corners due to the larger turn angle compared with the icosahedron, but it seems playable.

i added a second music track. this is a placeholder also, the production is obviously amateurish, but i really like it for how simple it is atpr.to/@oscillatory...

I should give myself more credit. I did save, it was just my bugged dynamic avatar script clobbering the links field in the profile every 15 minutes

i'm a big fan, this is much improved

you can now start a timed game with initial board state created in free play mode

I'm finding I greatly prefer the Lambert equal area azimuthal projection over stereographic

i love when the groove enters. hard to believe this is a live recording https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=oSvZUbAziOc

Many people just starting out on Lean formalization have enjoyed playing the Natural Numbers Game. Now Autumn Mapes has produced Visual Lean, isomorphic to the original but playable in a lovely intuitive way with clicking and dragging rather than typing. leangame.autumnofautumn.com

first site i asked for was a recap of prior work of site builder bots on atproto. good to know we've learned from our mistakes #catsofatproto

This is a fully visually evident proof of the fact that the diagonal of a regular unit pentagon is the golden ratio. arxiv.org/abs/2610.18903

trying to figure out if tetris on an icosahedron works

MathQuill with matrix support is kinda working now

first job interview in over a year in less than an hour, makes sense i would get zero sleep the night before. this should be interesting (in the same way that a car crash is interesting?)

Related to the #NobelPrize in #Optogenetics: I'm reflecting on the question "who invented X?" in science. 10 years ago I wrote about the people who were working on optogenetics, the patent debates and the role of race and prestige. I don't know the answer, but... www.statnews.com/2016/09/01/o...

In our Nature paper, we introduce the first superhuman Stratego AI, which we built using general techniques that we developed for RL & test-time compute under imperfect information. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but with a "LGTM"

testing

You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me.

guy misunderstanding what the words mean: "words mean things!" yes the issue is that they mean too many things

Mods, help!

someone should invent a type of intelligence that can't be bewitched by language

smh, what a divisive statement
