it's kind of weird to think about how the higgs field and gravitational waves were discovered within like, the last decade, and now they're both well established bits of modern physics

@esp@the.monsterpit.net Here's that minecraft mod we were talking about yesterday--configuring it is kind of complicated though so if you want I can make a config file since we've done it before and know how it works (and yes, though the feature isn't mentioned in the mod anywhere, this does work on chunks that have already been generated, not just when generating new ones)

i don't have a name. something of our old character Amelia seems to be present in me, but that name doesn't feel right.
-?

i'm not sure who i am right now... i think i might be a new person in the process of splitting off from Felthry

we've suspected something of that sort was happening for a few days now

computers are queer-positive

they're called transistors after all, not cisistors

we still don't really see the point of 4k

i can get 1440p maybe but 4k seems excessive

Looking forward to being able to afford to help people out financially.

like, the sobel x kernel is just a sort of d/dx, and the y kernel is a sort of d/dy, so what you're computing is basically a gradient
-F

i just realized

a sobel filter is basically differentiation for images

watching a video about computational game theory and AI and someone said "okay, so let's draw [the game tree for] go. We're gonna need some more paper," *moves as if to pull something out from under the desk* "And then, a much larger universe to put all that paper in."

i appreciate this style of humor

how many possible games of tic-tac-toe are there? i thought it would be 9! at first but then realized that some games last fewer than nine turns (one player wins)

either way it's not a very large number as game state trees go
-F

want to play go with someone

we're not any good at it but it's fun
-f

really fed up with people talking about "antifa" like it's some group people belong to rather than an ideology
-F

so uh. what happened with snouts? i see people talking about a racism problem and yeah fedi has a racism problem and we need to address that but what happened with snouts specifically to get people talking now?
-F

good morning all of you good people and non-people

and goo morning to emi specifically because they're goo

i feel like this has something to do with the fact that there aren't any analogues of complex numbers in any dimensions other than four, eight, and (maybe) sixteen, maybe?
-F

i remember reading at some point about how the cross product can only exist in three or seven dimensions and i want to understand why that is

anyone here know much about esoteric vector math?
-F

*sits on a quaternion*
