LizbethLast night we watched a short animation movie called "the Street of Crocodiles" by the Quay brothers. The whole thing feels like an old distressed sculpture brought to life, I highly recommend it.

Richard McElreath 🦔The German botanist Johannes Karl Albert Winkler, who failed Greek lessons, coined "genome" on the pattern of "chromosome" but forgot the "s":
Chromo-some: Color-body (shows up when stained)
Gen-ome: Gene-[nonsense suffix]
Stick that in your meme-ome.

daniel john jonesmindblowing new discovery in Conway's Game of Life: any buildable pattern in Life can be constructed from the collision of 15 gliders.

the key principle: distance itself can be used to encode information. by determining the correct starting [x,y] coordinate for each glider, any future state of the Life universe can be created, with effectively unbounded complexity. 🤯

Hi Everyone. I have had a mastodon account @jerlich for 2+ years.... i haven't decided whether or not to move it here or to just have two accounts and let this one be more "neuro"-ish....
