If I see the words "in conclusion" in any piece of writing, be it an article, comment, or in a book my eyes will immediately glaze over and I skip that paragraph with zero regrets

Learned about to folk.computer recently. It's an open source physical computing environment. I'm in the hunt for used hardware to set it up in my place now!

A bit of a hidden gem math explainer about how tensors are useful for calculating derivatives! https://youtu.be/DqYA3nlWPKg

Solid playlist for getting a grasp on tensors. I've had some trouble moving from linear algebra into tensors (mostly because I slacked in comprehending change of basis). Now have a solid idea what makes a vector and a covector different, why we do matrix multiplication (and other LA operations) the way we do, and how to interact with multilinear maps. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJHszsWbB6hrkmmq57lX8BV-o-YIOFsiG

More bit twiddling on old consoles! It really amazed me how much effort must have gone into just figuring out how to display the picture you wanted before interacting with GPUs was largely standardized https://youtu.be/G0E4u6TuSFo

I learned recently that @michaelmicasso is one of my favorite pixel artists that I used to follow on reddit from a couple years ago. Thought that the Art styles were unusually similar, and I finally realized after going through some old saved reddit posts that it's because they're the same!

Watch a guy make a game for the SNES. This kind of bit twiddling really gives me the urge to make an old school 2d style game, but zk provable with onchain rewards https://youtu.be/kYLJLJkVfLk

If the us has a "strategic" eth reserve doesn't that give them a pretty big (read: outsized) influence on fork choice? We talk a lot about how usdc and other stable coins could legitimize a fork based on which assets they recognize. But, imagine if the us starts staking eth validators and then, because it's government, they never update their clients for upgrades and only recognize the old chain. Are we just stuck with that chain because of their economic influence? Are we cool with (committed to) forking out and slashing the us government?

Imagine if the Renaissance, the collapse of Rome, and the industrial revolution all happened at the same time. I think that's where we're headed on the timeline
