VR. Super constrained.

I read that this legal technique has also been used in Japan as a proxy for Gay Marriage.

I've never thought about it this way. Cut off the left side of the bell, rotate the graph by 90 degrees, and you can see that the high-sigma members of the distribution take all th…

Funny you say that. For Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion), the devs claimed to have built something like this. Where all the NPCs had their own wants and needs and schedules, like The Sim…

I was just looking up the profiles of the astronauts selected for the future Artemis Moon Missions. These people have resumés that look like they rolled a 20 for every one of their…

Maybe if you had it in stereo 3D and gave the passengers a VR display.

My grades in undergrad would have been so much better if Youtube had existed. Oh well.

God knows how I passed 4 years of engineering math without ever being able to describe to anyone what eigen* actually are, but I think that's actually the norm.

It's been 15 years since I was in my EE degree, and I learned all this stuff to the point of intuition. Since then I've been a C-monkey at megacorp and not doing any real math beyo…

Heavy Metal ruined the clean perfection of our fancy math devices, you say? That's pretty metal.

What you're describing is our national problem. People are more aligned with either extreme than they used to be (likely due to the internet exposing people to echo chambers), and …
