I adopted Pair B! They'll be here tomorrow. I'm very excited. I also spoke to the fosterer and apparently they were very friendly / slept in bed next to her once they got used to her place. She thinks they may have a regressed a bit after that when she had to bring them back to the shelter cause her and her husband went on vacation (!??!).

Anyway I'm very optimistic and excited to welcome them here. Thanks for the push!

Continuing in my recent series of charts that make no sense, feast your eyes on this work of art! From https://medium.com/message/amazing-military-infographics-1ba60bdc32e7, one of my favorite internet essays of all time.

This remains one of the worst charts I've ever seen. It just gets worse and worse the longer you look at it.

A few more from today. I got some equation optimization working (removing constant subtress) so now I can calculate more complex formulas faster.

In anticipation of #emfcamp2026 my eink very slow movie player has been set to Hackers (1995) mode.

Can’t wait to see you all soon!

And a few more. Gonna chill now, I swear.
A few more images from tinkering today at lunch. I improved and pushed the code a bit -- now I support unary operators like - and ~ and some trig functions.
red: f(x, y) = ((y - (y - (2 * (y - y)))) & (y | (x | y)))
green: f(x, y) = ((x - (y * (y - y))) & y)
blue: f(x, y) = (((x | x) & (x * ((y % (y + x)) | x))) + 3)
