    Can you transmit the entire state of the board to me? No no, not where all the pieces are, but I want you to send me everything about where the board is in space, it's material, dimensions, weight, etc...

  Possibly! For instance, when I built the twitterdildonics project back in 2007 (changed tweet character values to vibration speeds, using an extremely early precursor to buttplug.io), a lot of people were saying I should transmit using morse code, but instead I took UTF-8 and poorly translated it back to 0-255 range, which accidentally ended up with super interesting results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuKP5viPYRM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuKP5viPYRM

    Twitter looked rather different back then. And they had to explain what is was.

      This was at SXSW like 3 months after the public opening of the site? We were all still making the “haha I tweeted what I had from lunch” joke. If only we had known.

  Though, perhaps improving the encoding density might improve the experience during transmission. As will all things UX, you won't likely get the real answer without usability testing.

  I so want to make a joke about perverse incentives but I don't want to be judgemental.
• hackerlight 4y ago
  So you're saying that we should introduce error correcting codes
