Pluribus is literally just ‘reintegration’. The only reason it feels alien is because there didn’t happen to be a ‘severance’ that happened first.

I asked myself ‘what if bitmap textures could be circles instead of squares’. Then I did some math in desmos.
With square textures you can easily bi-linearly sample between the pixels you know. In circle land, you additionally have to interpolate between the two ways to pick your local grid basis!

I think that to reason coherently about what ‘the AI’ ‘wants’, we really need to disentangle the ‘text prediction engine’ from the ‘helpful assistant character’.

Today I learned that “angle of incidence = angle of reflection” is an incomplete representation of what happens when light bounces.
Turns out that the *polarization* of the light still refracts! That’s actually foundational for how ‘iridescence’ can be a thing.

These silver earrings in the Anemone family are a new design at Differential Geometry. The knotted band is a stylized representation of the complex 2/7-power function.

Radical moral philosophy idea inspired by physics: locality matters! People closer to you as measured through the fabric of space and time *should* be who you care more about!
Not because some people matter more than others, but because jurisdiction and obligation must *necessarily* be distributed.

Saw ‘blue noise’ beats ‘white noise’ for dithering. But it’s full of worms!
Today I discovered: “blurred blue noise looks flat, blurred white noise has bumps”.
This connects to fluid dynamics. If you make a fluid incompressible you force it to manifest a fractal fibration of turbulent streamlines!
