a superintelligent alien may not understand what we call mathematics. the mathematical tools we use may be built-in to their brains/bodies so they don't need to externalize ideas like prime numbers

<<You say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself – it is too sad a way to be.>>

@drq @jk there's money elsewhere? Like Blender Foundation + Blender Institute funds full-time engineers and artists. Given how much FOSS I use at work, I expect there are plenty of opportunities for FOSS projects to capture more of the value they generate - most won't make the effort or don't have the know-how.
don't u just love it when your web framework silently fails your HTML render and eats the error. so cute ಠ︵ಠ
@izaya i mean ...yeah. they are here. I don't have one, but I'm kinda the weird one in my fam.
@izaya you seem to do without quite a few conveniences based on your other posts I've seen. I've never lived anywhere without one.
@izaya 🤔 ? so you mean you don't think *clothes* washers and dryers are common? like every home in the US has one or has access to one (although maybe in a laundromat)
@izaya you mean clothes washers that also function as dryers? I've heard of ppl in efficiency apartments using them.

It's incredible to think that EFF is now 30 years old (likewise incredible to think that I've been to the 15th, 20th, and 25th birthday parties!).
Normally, we'd be having a blowout, maybe at the DNA Lounge, but of course, it's a livestream instead, this Friday from 3-10PM Pacific.

Interested in shader coding? Want to learn how to do it? Fill out the Suricrasia Online Shader Coding Seminar Preliminary Interest Survey! 🎨💥🦈
Based on the responses I might do some kind of teaching thing for shader coding!
Shout-out to Blender Guru, still making solid #blender tutorials and explainer videos.
