I'd really like to know @gregeganSF 's opinions on different scifi video games, most notably Outer Wilds and SOMA.

Don't know whether that's something he's already expounded upon somewhere or not but search engines just give oceans of people comparing his work and those games from their own perspectives. 🤷‍♂️

Y'all have a day as great as this sunrise!

my talk "Why can't you multiply vectors?" is now live on youtube!! 🎉

Just re-read this.

Regulators of implanted medical technology should be demanding that all source code, design docs and other technical material be lodged in escrow.

If the company ceases to make support available, make it all public.

It's one thing for movies or TV shows or video games to disappear "into the vault", but prioritising protection of completely unused IP rights over the the health and wellbeing of patients is criminal.

Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported

These early adopters found out what happened when a cutting-edge marvel became an obsolete gadget... inside their bodies.

Playing with the Voderberg tiles. They can make a spiral tessellation, a circular disk, and a periodic tessellation of the plane.

Voderberg Tile by divbyzero

This is an example of a Voderberg tile created by Heinz Voderberg. It has several interesting properties. It solves a problem posed by Karl Reinhardt: two of these tiles can completely enclose a tile of the same shape—and in fact, two of these tiles can include TWO tiles of the same shape. Interestingly, they can be assembled to make an infinite spiral tiling. (They can also be assembled to tile the plane periodically.)

And then would you like to comment on the video?
BAhahaha! hahaha! hahaha..
.. oh you weren't joking?

No, this is a platform where information only travels in one direction.

Or possibly, "we already have your money so everything past that is an afterthought" which is a systemic incentives problem many other offerings also have to figure out.

In wake of Youtube adblockerpoxyclipse I decided to try out Nebula. Here are first thoughts.
They make it hard to view a list of creators. Maybe intentionally hard? They just keep leading back to the list of videos and you're meant to figure things out from there.
I don't understand why but all of the videos just end abruptly where Youtube would if not have a sponsor roll, at least have a musical outro or some form of closure or wind-down. And they just feel like editing errors.

The whole idea of money is like... people in power needed an excuse to take all the resources, but people won't just let you *take* those resources for yourself, so they invented a "game" where if you're really good at working hard you get all these "POINTS" and then you can use the "POINTS" to buy resources, and if you don't have enough "POINTS" then I guess that means you're not as good as we are, the people who were gonna take all the resources anyway. But now we can blame you.
