I like math, physics, simulation, animation, engineering!

@InertialObservr Since you like animations, here's a lil' python project I made a while back which I thought you'd enjoy: the Lorenz Water Wheel. The topmost cup gets filled at a fixed rate, and the cups are leaky + there is friction. Plotted center of mass.

@KavanSG You must use isotropic coordinates (for the Schwarzschild metric)! This rids the pole-artifact. Find these coords on this page https://t.co/Ol4XfD5AaV

Btw your videos are so cool, please keep going!

Tutte's Theorem (1963): To beautifully draw large networks without crossing-edges, try using springs! And if you tune the spring constants cleverly, you can even hide secret messages and/or pictures in the network 🖼️

@prof_g i mean when ur an artist u typically have a very particular vision in mind of what u wanna make, and it's far easier to just make the complex thing rather than "directing" an ML system through text or other lossy formats to do it for you. reminds me of this

@stevejtrettel ah – very cool! what might be the eqn for this riemannian metric? seems like a "punctured" torus. wondering whether u manually computed the C-symbols or are using some other technique for numerical integration instead of explicit geodesic eqn

@berrow_james your work is super inspiring to me! i'm doing a masters thesis on blackhole rendering too

[Aditya Abhyankar 🪄 @aiyopasta]

@berrow_james JAMESS!!! SO YOU'RE THE JAMES SPACE BLOG CAT BLACKHOLE GENIUS!! Sorry for the weird youtube comments on ur channel, i didn't know any other way to reach u, turns out I followed u on this site already ☠️

What might be the way to please ask you a few questions on geodesic tracing?

@Quasilocal Which notes are these?

[Aditya Abhyankar 🪄 @aiyopasta]

@iquilezles HEIC is so annoying. I work with Google docs and whenever I airdrop a picture of my whiteboard or something to my Mac the format isn't supported on docs

@albertcthomas @ImotVoksim @y0b1byte ya exactly, l1 is biased to "reach out" to the minimum in the pointy directions

@3blue1brown Almost surely? :)

@0xcush @0xgaut Because then people could just use it as a wired mouse which apple didn't want I guess

@ylecun Prof. Boyd: "as you get on with your life you understand two things: (1) Everything is an optimization problem, (2) We can't solve any optimization problems" (paraphrased)

@historyinmemes This is an old clip of him reacting to procedurally generated zombies or something, not modern AI art

[Aditya Abhyankar 🪄 @aiyopasta]

@IsomorphicPhi Almost surely

[Aditya Abhyankar 🪄 @aiyopasta]

@ylecun do llms use language to do the "thinking" though? The input and output may be language but what about the actual processing?
