Baduk/Go, math, other shit
I've decided I want to build a home server. Problem is this has turned out to be not just a rabbit hole, but an astral worm hole to a whole other dimension of computing. Since there's clearly no future for the human race, we just have to try and get to the future ourselves ourselves, it seems.

Participating in society that you know is broken and makes no sense.

I hate having a body and brain that seems to be phobic to half the shit that happens on this planet. How do I just become a disembodied astral intelligence that can speak to other ppls minds?

Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdos played Go I learned recently. But don't have much info about his playing career. I'd be interested in trying to find some Kifu recordings of any games he played. Though here he is placing his stones like an amateur. #baduk #gogame #weiqi #math

So Byun Sang-Il might win the LG cup ... without actually winning any of the games in his final best-of-three match against Ke Jie. And all bc of an arbitrary rule that doesn't affect the actual game that was introduced in the middle of the tournament. #baduk #gogam #weiqi

You ever have those games where you think you're behind bc of one mistake you made, but then you count the board and you're actually winning? I love Go bc it makes you think about the situation in so many different ways at once! #gogame #baduk #weiqi

Being told to "tone down" things when you have a melt down bc some neurotypical douchebag got a stick up his ass around the corner. If I weren't starting a new medication I'd probably be drinking heavily. Isn't life wonderful?

arXiv maintained by Cornell is free, BTW, and many researchers will post their preprints there for everyone to read!

Xmas gem this year from Valerie: Mac Lane's post retirement memoir! This book is like 1/3 history and development, 1/3 philosophy, and 1/3 technical instruction. It should be required reading for math majors, or at least PhD students imo. #math #mathematics

Parthunax now presents the bamboo joint. Although it requires four stones, it is can act as an unbreakable connection between separate groups!
