a modified version might also work on concave geometry

if the egg vertices are always in the same order, then you could hard-code checks on the most extreme points and then walk from the lowest of those vertices

it's just a nice thing to do.

arXiv Changes Rules After Getting Spammed With AI-Generated 'Research' Papers Cornell University’s academic paper repository will no longer accept Computer Science papers still under review.

arXiv, a preprint publication for academic research that has become particularly important for AI research, has announced it will no longer accept computer science articles and papers that haven’t been vetted by an academic journal or a conference. Why?

A tide of AI slop.

it's not the same, but Rust has a "newtype" pattern where you wrap another type to ensure that users respect invariants (or at least that the types can't be swapped so easily)

Can I send Luigi photos? Luigi is allowed to receive photos via Shutterfly and FreePrints in accordance with mail procedures while in custody, following the Federal Bureau of Prisons Program Statement No. 5800.16 (Mail Management Manual) and Program Statement No. 5265.11 (Correspondence). Because the sender's information is never included, any name or return address should be embedded within the photos being shared. Due to the volume of photos, they could take longer than usual to be screened and shared. Luigi appreciates the photos that are sent and kindly asks that people send no more than five photos at a time. Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.

items) will be given to the SIS, who will document receipt of the items on the memorandum. The memorandum will be placed in the Inmate Central File's FOIA exempt section. Minor or nuisance physical things (such as hair, plant shavings, small artifacts and items, and sexually explicit personal photographs, etc.) are not authorized and will be returned to the sender. A Stamp, Negotiable Instrument or Other Items Returned to Sender form (BP-A0328) will be completed. The correspondence and a copy of the BP-A0328 will be provided to the inmate. The material to be returned and a copy of the BP-A0328 will be covered and returned to the sender. A copy of the BP-A0328 will be filed in the Inmate Central File. The Program Statement Correspondence provides circumstances for rejecting correspondence.

I looked into it, and no you cannot send Luigi Manione nude photos - but you can send sexy ones. He asks you only send 5 at a time.

There’s a weird little crumb on your ‘What are Formal Methods’ page under the ‘How do Formal Methods Work’ header. I don’t know if it’s just a Webkit rendering thing—just thought y’all should know.

& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model. Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks. • Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader. Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

Brace for another wave of x refuges
