Yup, fun one indeed. Nerdsniped me right as I was about to figure out dinner lol

Optimal under the constraints of being only 3 rational numbers under 1.

I conjecture that the real optimal one is at four gears exactly, but I have no proof of optimality.

2/26 * 7/21 * 12/16 * 13/15 = 1/60

Ah @mlhomsi.bsky.social found this same optimal one under these constraints!

Also one downside to the original 3 rational number solutions is that not all are less than 1. If you want that constraint too, optimal is:

5/30 * 7/28 * 10/25 = 1/60

By using more rational numbers (and allowing repeats) you can push it even lower:

2/10 * 3/9 * 4/8 * 4/8 = 1/60

Given the additional context I suspect you are not looking for repeats though?

1/20 * 3/18 * 14/7 = 1/60

Photo from the seats at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle of Dimension 20 Live. Brennan can be seen on the large screen with his characteristic animated gestures. The Intrepid Heroes can be seen lit in the center of the arena while a deep dark blue glow covers the audience. The energy is wild and the vibes are immaculate.

1337 is a fun number because it also drops a nice "1333337" in your hexdump

I scored 10/28 on jsdate.wtf

I knew some of these already (why is space in my brain reserved for this in a language I don’t even use regularly, I’ll never know) but wow this quiz is beautifully structured to troll you hard.

Would recommend.

1:59 am: I'll just stay up a liiiittle longer, 1 am isn't *that* late :)

2:01 am: shit it's almost 3 am already what happened

Everything since guy hit thing with rock just old thing faster. Better tool for hit faster & stronger. New power sources is more hitting per man hour. Science, finance, management, culture, just abstracting and optimizing hitting more things with better rocks

Picked up some basic wood carving tools just to see if I’d like it and omg this is so much fun! Am working without any guidance/tutorial, so am clearly making mistakes, but still it looks good?! The flaws seem to give the piece character. Would recommend

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

This is awesome! Thanks for the detailed writeup!

I’ll likely soon switch to some version of your prompt. Past few months I’ve been using something I wrote for p10k but didn’t quite have the bandwidth to make it as cool as yours github.com/jaybosamiya-...

a jj shell prompt, but fast because of powerlevel10k

(it took me two weeks to implement it and another week to write 3800 words about it, I hope you enjoy)

Seems like Apple is an aptly named company then

Congratulations!! 🎉

And if you are a creative who suddenly can’t think of anything new, you did not run out of ideas.

You are burnt out.

Spend time with loved ones, read non-fiction, watch interesting movies. Refill your well and the ideas will come back.

Also, the more you entertain your ideas by writing/drawing/composing them, the more ideas you will get.

Don’t be precious with your ideas. You are training your brain to make more.
