For anyone wanting to know, the keyboard layout is that of a chromatic button accordian [0] [1]. I guess there's a C64 "executable" that he's made available but no source so I don't know what the exact keymapping is

It was threatening to rain but I thought I could make it to my destination so I bolted out the door. Half way it started pouring. I stopped in the middle of the side walk, under a tree. I was watching a cat further down the sidewalk that wa

Yes, it's bullshit. I wouldn't expect that most people couldn't, with enough time and resources, tell a better story. Isn't the part of the point of giving a talk to convey the ideas so that other people can use them? If

There's no link to the paper, so I can only infer, but, if I understand correctly, this is a very simple idea: take a single Gaussian splat "tile" and find a cut when two copies are placed near each other and overlapping, usi

Restricting licenses in this way stops it from being libre/free/open source. A fundamental aspect of libre/free/open source is that it's possible to use in a commercial setting. The FSF FAQ addresses this point spec

An entropy argument for optimal strategy when winning? Finite size/bounds arguments for losing? If you have 100 options available to you, the maximum information gain is if you eliminate half. So, if you can, you always want to employ

The idea is that if you're winning you can just do a binary search, but if you're losing, it's better to take some risks by making narrower guesses. For example, let's say it's the last turn and your opponent is abo

I think this is getting traction because of the new Odyssey movie coming out. I find Mary-Beard satisfying to watch. I'm having trouble finding it but she was on a panel and asked about the fall of Rome and her response was something t

Interesting theory. Here's my counter theory: People's moral righteousness on whether they think a person can be judged by a morally neutral and inconsequential action sheds light on their true moral character. Especially so if th

Yes, I often don't realize I'm asleep and dreaming while I dream. It's a common experience for me to dream and think I'm experiencing reality while I'm asleep. Are you saying you have never had a visual dream? Somet
