I have such a hard time getting rid of old textbooks. They cost me a fortune. An who knows when you'll need to look up something on the empirical stability rules for atomic nuclei, reflectometer theory or stellerator equilibria :-/

Same data again, but in a new Elastic projection I've been experimenting with that avoids disintegrating Australia.

Same data, but now plotted in the Elastic-2 projection described at kunimune.blog/2023/12/29/i.... This reportedly has less area inflation around the East China Sea, and we do see that the vessel traffic in Asia appears less dramatic.

I need to do a little clean up on the repo I'm using before I open it up–I'll try to do that in the next few days–but in the meantime, I used the projection code from github.com/rtlemos/spil... to do most of the work. My main contribution was convincing Matplotlib to do backgrounds in a way I liked.

@paulwoods.io @davidkroodsma.bsky.social I played around with this over break and managed to map vessel presence in the Spilhaus projection. It really shows how little vessel traffic the southern oceans have.
It's also a good candidate for a black light poster with this color scheme.

This one was fun and had a closer to uniform difficulty between the parts. My solution was more general than it needed to be, but still ended up running decently fast.

I just got $10 in the Equifax settlement⁉️ As paltry as that sum is, I suspect that this may be the high point of data breach settlements and it's all downhill from here.

People keep posting things like, "LLMS, can't even spell" or "LLMS are credulously reposting obvious nonsense" as if this makes them seem less like humans. Have these people payed attention to the last 30 years of the internet?
[For the record, LLMs are clearly dumb as rocks though]

There seem to be a lot of people out there who think people convincing you to be buy junk you don't need is some sort of new fangled internet thing. These people should go back and read "Jack and the Beanstalk" published in 1734.

Absolutely can't tell if the jerks spamming me with political adds 24/7 are democratic operatives who are bad at their jobs, republican operatives trying to make the former look bad, foreign actors sowing chaos, or just awful grifters.
