Tired of feeling bad about what I’m paying for with my crossword subscription.

I was having unbidden pansharpening thoughts again, so I fixed typos and a pseudocode bug in my old 10,000 word gist on the topic: https://gist.github.com/celoyd/5bb5417b24801e0446ad5977cc3581e4

Proud to say that it’s the best non-academic introduction to the topic on the entire internet. Also, I admit, the worst, because it’s the only one. I don’t know why there aren’t more people interested in this.

@stephenjudkins I don’t think there’s time for an informed take yet. I think we non-experts just have to be hopeful and understand it might not pan out.

Got that feeling I got when I saw the video of the first trucks full of covid vaccine heading for the highway. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/ebiom/article/PIIS2352-3964(23)00026-9/fulltext

@kissane @ted @meetar @dansinker Muting this thread without looking at the rest of it.

@tim You’ve gone and reinvented actual clouds, Tim.

@natevw They rolled out a replacement for Euclidean distance and it’s about 0.661. Makes a lot of things easier.

Sitting here angrily remembering the time I guessed that the distance between two randomly chosen points in a cube might be 1/√2, looked it up, and learned that it’s (1/105) × (4 + 17√2 - 6√3 + 21×ln(1 + √2) + 42×ln(2 + √3) - 7π) ≈ 0.661 and this was only worked out in 1978.

@migurski Yeah. Try “Revolutions” from the beginning, and if it doesn’t take, try an episode from somewhere in the middle. And if that doesn’t take, never mind.

@migurski Have you tried Mike Duncan’s podcasts?

@migurski Yeah, I have a recommendation: GET A JOB, HIPPIE!
