Highly recommend "monkey on the branch". Comfy, secure, doesn't kill your back. Baby's head and tummy rest on your forearm, with baby's weight pushing against your body, head in the crook of your arm, hand holds between legs. Great for one-handed chores, or walking places you need to open doors.
Someone sent me a socks problem and it took me WAY too long to find the set (subset of cards where all socks match up in pairs of the same style, i.e. even or can be zero)
Wally Dion, 2019 It's a quilt made of circuit boards. Seen in the Portland Art Museum
"Freedom Foundation" sent a mailer to my teacher wife to ask her to opt out of union dues, implying that the right thing to spend that on is to donate it. Fuuuuuuck them
Look at me I'm posting an image from another social network like a basic bitch. But THAT social network has typesetting 😀 and so the post reads nicer than if I retyped it here with no typesetting.
My 5y/o had the lovely idea to be a jewel thief, and so we did this bit all over the faire where he would pickpocket my jewels and I'd yell "Thief! He's getting away!"
One small update to "FHE and the public" (www.jeremykun.com/fhe-and-the-...) includes a link to Apple's RWC talk and a note about one slide I found interesting in re Apple's stance on privacy.
A badly lit photo, but this was the main claim from Apple in the talk about the promise to the users
A nice note that privacy prevents a lot of metrics gathering, you can't know if your method is successful if it's fully private!
Sunday night, as good a time as any to make a Mobius kaleidocycle hannes.home.oist.jp/kaleidocycle...
Anyone want to go in for a group order of this "crypto means cryptography" shirt? I just kinda threw this design together but I like the retro theme with a modern mantra. www.customink.com/go/dmc0-00cv...
One of the very first digital photographs ever scanned was this photo of Russell Kirsch's 3-month-old son, Walden. Scanned in 1957, it's a 176x176 grayscale image composed from multiple 1-bit scans with varying intensity thresholds on the scanner. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell...
Heh, the first result isn't quite what I had in mind, but the second is, and I like how I don't have to sign up to try it.
They looked like this before painting. A nice routed edge to make it look nice.
Just look at these covers of "COMPTOMETER NEWS" magazine https://www.jaapsch.net/mechcalc/comptometer_news.htm
I would love to have a hand-crank-driven Comptometer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comptometer This thing looks so cool! And it has the 9-s complement digit on each key so that you can subtract without turning the gears backwards
Do you want more math content? Because that's how you get more math content. Aperiodic monotile scones.
Wrapped up math circle for the summer. One of the kids wrote me a nice note. ☺️
