hi mastofriends would anyone be interested in doing a reading / study group on programming languages and type theory?

it is thursday and i got a date with some triangles 💞✨

i'm running it on 125000 data points right now, and it should be done by 8am tomorrow

this is neat

annnnd now i can do it in 17 minutes

well sort of :-P i added a toggle that disables the final exact verification. this can give a small number of false positives (< 0.1% in practice), so i can't use it for formal / guaranteed bounds, but for generating large amounts of exploratory data it is awesome

the dataset i used for my triangle project last year was generated piecewise over ~2 months, but by the time it was done, the tools had evolved to the point that i can produce a fresh dataset of the same size in 8 hours. that's pretty cool.

fae boosted

Hey friends, I just updated my Caves of Qud quickstart guide/fanfic.

The advice that the game gives you is now concurrent with the updated state of the early game! If you wanna try Qud before hindren go into the game officially, check this out:

@Sheinicorn@witches.town there's a whole yale lecture course on the philosophy of death on youtube that seems to have some of what you're looking for? m.youtube.com/watch?v=p2J7wSuF

@shoofle math is less structured, but i'm intermittently looking at papers about billiards in the rational-angle case, which has currently led to background work on the hyperbolic plane

@shoofle right now for physics i'm working through Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics and A Student's Guide to Lagrangians and Hamiltonians

@kitsch@witches.town ha

hahaha

oh goodness, the world is much too big for such a tiny fae to understand

i hope i learn some interesting things this year though

ok mastofriends who wants to learn math and physics with me in 2018

light a candle for the longest night. the light returns.

@Maenad@witches.town ooh what are you gonna make, if you feel like sharing?

if you haven't played brendan's previous game, birdland (birdland.camp), i highly recommend it. teen girl detective, queer romance, extraterrestrial birds.

me: well, any kind of slime or goo sona breaks that.
partner: or could, if pressed.
