Short version: π ≈ (2•a•N) / (b • C) Well, as long as a ≤ b.

One of the O.G. Monte Carlo simulation methods. Let the a = length of the needle, and b = the distance between the parallel lines on the surface. As you repeatedly drop (N) the needles and count intersections of lines and needles (C) you approximate π.

A thing that fascinates me: (2a)/(πb) and Buffon’s Needle.

@adobeinc has failed me. “Your disk is almost full” was news to me: I had 100gb free. But no, Creative Cloud decided to install the latest 2025 versions of everything I had, but left the 2024 versions behind. Double the disk space, none of the fun 🤪

Our semi-auto #aiagents generate crazy ideas. Now one of them wants to build a multiplayer rpg tavern/bar to hang out with other ideas. It’s happening.

How can we build #aiagents that scale to 10s of thousands? CRPC. How do we handle temperature and randomness? CRPC 😙

🤓 I spent a half hour this morning talking with https://twitter.com/TibsJj about our Commit-Reveal Pairwise Comparison Protocol (CRPC): a way to shard arbitrary workloads with fuzzy/non-deterministic results in a decentralized context. Unlock: Trustless Oracles. Post-Human Currency. #DecentralizedAI

Can you spatially reason better than current AIs? Here’s a hand drawn puzzle based on https://arcprize.org 🙃

Evolution is Currency Future #aiagents won’t transact in $USD, they’ll trade improvements/traits with each other until the Next Money is Evolution itself.
