Secret stuff 

As we enter A Christmas Story season, here's a thing I wrote about the cryptography involved, and how you can decode these messages yourself, even without an Official Badge.

For those encountering my content for the first time: my nine-part series on Infocom's A Mind Forever Voyaging (1985) begins here. Two posts remain. This is already the most that a single author has written about this game, and the first concerted effort to focus exclusively on textual and cultural analysis.

The intended audience is not academic, though some humanists and knowledge workers might enjoy it.

Thank you to all on this site. As I’ve mentioned, being an older woman, I miss younger ppl’s views. So your humor, poetry, photography and your perspectives on life are so appreciated. You make my day.🤗

But binary notation itself is not admissible in this technical sense. And, to repeat, addition, multiplication etc. are not computable with respect to binary notation, and Turing fixed this in his errata paper.

I guess time to pin an #Introduction up.

I am father to 3 amazing children who surprise me constantly with wonders, and husband to a wife who has taught me so much about love and pedagogy.

I am lead of the Windows Graphics and Compute Kernel at Microsoft, where we support heterogenous compute devices like GPUs and NPUs through the WDDM and MCDM driver models.

My education is in physics and philosophy, where I sought to understand the relationships between language, meaning, and science. My interests span mathematics (hypergeometric functions, combinatorics, algebraic geometry, (co)homology, topos theory, domain theory, sieves, and a variety of others), physical sciences (foundational theories like QM, general relativity, string theory, LQG, as well as systems sciences like materials science and solid state, computational chemistry, and neurophysiology), social sciences (economics, linguistics, social structure), and a number of other areas. I’ve been called “a scanner not a sinker”, which though insulting may also hold some truth. Ask me about generalized trigonometry or my theory of a Machian distance-only interpretation of classical and quantum mechanics that does not reify space!

I do a lot of scientific modeling, most recently focused on the structuralization of bias and bigotry. Sometimes I publish them or share with friends. See, for instance

medium.com/@n.k.h.739085133215

to expose the error in many misogynistic explanations for the wage gap or

medium.com/@n.k.h.739085133215

and

medium.com/@n.k.h.739085133215

on the misuse of heritability, polygenic scores, and GWAS in race science.

Recent modeling has focused on social choice theory and a folk mathematical resolution to Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem that is otherwise not widely known.

I love outsider art and am always looking for new music, visual art, interactive / tactile pieces, and sculpture. Please feel free to share any of your loves!

I think that’s enough to throw out there for now.

In a move reminiscent of the naming scheme for company workers in "Jennifer Government", a novel by Max Barry, administrators of Mastodon instances are now required to change their surname to Mastodon. "We're confident this will elevate the status of our Admins and show that Elon Twitter chap one of the many benefits of Federation," stated a proboscidean spokesperson, John Mastodon.
