No entropy for you

30, he/him, gamer, rationalist, searching for cool pixel art and interesting entropy factoids. I promise no coherence in my blogging

May your Paths be safe, your Floors unbroken and may the House fill your eyes with Beauty.

I read Piranesi again...

I had to compress the hell out of this gif to upload. If you want to see a nicer, bigger version you can do so here on my AO3.

This feels like calibrating my normal detector

It's never too late to escape from the secret underground government facility you were raised and go on a telekinetic rampage across the city before mysteriously disappearing into the woods

talking like point-and-click game narration to the bugs in my room

[generic-internet-name]

you can't get out that way!

[generic-internet-name]

that's not very helpful.

maybe the open window will help.

No, you dont understand. YOUR groups inherits collective blood guilt that can never be removed and justifies all manner of harm against them. MY group just has some bad actors who should be punished on an individual basis.

you'd think so! but i anticipated your accusations years ago and embarked in a long-term project to swap all my blood with the blood of innocents. i have wiped myself clean of inherited sin from the crimes of my ancestors and am now guilty of a completely different and much cooler set of crimes

I deeply, deeply love how GURPS Transhuman Space just says "Fuck you, do physics."

"Gamified physics?" You ask, hopefully.

No! ❤

(This is the simple chapter, where you only need to know rocket science. We'll get into orbital mechanics, relativity, nuclear physics, and the three-body-problem later.

Apropos of nothing: How's your calculus?)

@deep-space-netwerk you should run a one-shot that's just three hours of mission planning and then roll to see if you explode on the launch pad

[emnesoi0]

get it right:

if i'm correcting you on something that matters to me, i'm correcting misinformation

if you're correcting me on something that matters to you, you're engaging in pedantry

in three years someone will ask Claude "hey i'm trying to write some code to figure out the shortest route a travelling salesman could take given a set of cities and distances between them but it runs very slowly, can you help me make it faster" and Claude will be like "Happy to help! I profiled your code and identified the bottleneck: your problem is NP-hard. To confirm this couldn't be worked around, I went ahead and proved P ≠ NP — proof attached (about 400 lines; I've added comments for readability). The good news is your implementation is now provably near-optimal, so no further changes are needed."

and then people will still say it's not really an artificial intelligence just fancy autocomplete

Currently unclear if today is Wednesday, or if it’s another Wednesday mimic ❓

No, one hip don't lie. The other hip don't tell the truth. That's why I'm mediocre at blues dance.
