Although it turns out that you can do it by introducing corrugations in the embedding, idk I never understood this but it looks awesome www.hevea-project.fr/ENPageToreDo...

When you try to place the flat torus in R^3, call that an embed fail

You have the chromatic aberration set way too high

I’m stumped too! I’ll get back to you in 4 to 5 business days I guess

Same! I don’t do it frequently enough to be good at some of the more verbose clues. I have to imagine that the 20-25 of us who also love math are partial towards the more elegant clues 😀

One of my favorites is this one called Middle of the Road by Patrick Berry. It’s a cryptic grid + puzzle, woven together very masterfully.

Cryptic Triptych Today is the 5th annual Indie 500 crossword puzzle tournament! In honor of the occasion, I’ve put together a collection of five travel-inspired cryptic crosswords. The puzzles will be freely …

cheap pulp books sounds awesome! I like the minute cryptic app, I should look into their subscription…

I’ve been trying to get my partner into cryptics and as part of that we’re doing some easy themed/variety grids. This one was great nevillefogarty.wordpress.com/2019/06/01/c...

A fellow cryptic crosswords enjoyer! Where do you find your grids/clues?

I just made this up tbh. Though doesn’t any set + a relation on the set form a poset as long as (1) all composite arrows exist and (2) you collapse things that are isomorphic?

Like if two definitions of convergence imply each other I bundle them up into the same object

I bet there is a sick example where this isn’t true in which case I don’t wanna see it

The definitions of convergence form a poset in which pointwise convergence is a maximal element (pointwise convergence implies everything else, I imagine?)

There’s a reason they call it a no-otherian ring

Started a new blog post on Principal Bundles at www.shiraz-k.com! It's a long way away, but I'm excited about how this illustration turned out:

Butterfly Soup by Brianna Lei Gay girls playing baseball and falling in love

… specifically when expressed in the graph coordinates, (x,y) \mapsto f(x)g(y)

I hadn’t thought about that, I see what you mean! I wonder if there’s a differential geometric notion that captures that aspect, something about “how conformal” the metric is?

Finally learned out how to use TikZ on my blog. God bless!! tikzjax.com

Beautiful! Would be cool to have either factor be a catenary instead of a parabola (optimally supports its own weight iirc) !

Relying on LLMs when we have specialized tools for tasks... it's so lazy! The best AI applications are specialized models (eg drug discovery machine learning, handwriting recognition vision models for sorting the mail) used for specific tasks. LLMs are not generalists!

followed you for like a week and you’ve said just about everything in that span of time

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

My version of this - I called it Dirac's Belt Swimming in Dirac's Sea :) Inspired by Roger Penrose's book The Road to Reality.

Wait no this makes so much sense now. It starts with the 0 frequency term (which is useful because it's the integral of the signal) then increases in frequency modulo samples: So it's [0, 1, 2, 3, -3, -2, -1] if the signal has 7 samples, [0, 1, 2, +-3, -2, -1] for 6 samples!

You do these standing??? Your lower back would like to thank you in person

I wish I had a standing hobby (that I was this good at)

Those chairs are so ergonomic. I am in otter awe

I reset my Roku once and it got marginally better. It’s because of all the behind-the-scenes data collection but joke’s on them cus I only watch math on it anyway
