NeRFs are an intensely interesting research area. This pushes them so much closer to being usable.

Immensely more interesting than any billionaire’s rocket phallus. Such an awesome platform for exploration.

Excellent set of improvements to venue checkin QR codes.
Interfaces do not end at the edge of a screen. So many interactions can be improved by taking time to understand base principles of the available tools and considering usage context.

Some new math art
ALT A laser engraved piece of wood with depictions of mathematical solids
ALT The back of the wood, which reads, "Wenzel Jamnitzer was born in Vienna, Austria in 1508 to a family of distinguished goldsmiths. While working for a succession of Holy Roman Emperors, Jamnitzer became an inventor of scientific and indus trial tools, as well as an artist, and eventually master of the city mint of Nuremberg. In 1568 he published his most famous work: a collection of polyhedra titled Perspectiva Corporum Regularium (Perspective of Regular Solids). Though raised in the shadow of Leonardo da Vinci's geometric drawings, Jamnitzer cited Euclid's Elements and Plato's Timaeus as inspiration."

Semantic hashing for dependencies is a pattern that needs wider adoption. So much clearer, safer and simpler to use than relying on often arbitrarily assigned version numbers declared in an unrelated context.

Semantic integrity checks = Identity 2.0
Tired:
* Emphasis on textual hashes
* Equality lottery
* Prone to whitespace/comments
Wired:
* Identity by SHA-256 hash of canonical normal form
* Unique and digitally scarce
* Representation of αβ-equivalence

The Harry Potter universe is not something that's ever intersected with my interests, until now.

Pretty interesting view of the Melbourne earthquake. Great example of latent sensing from existing systems.

FiberSense image showing shockwave energy in #melbourneearthquake today. Amazing visualisation showing the amount of energy received as it goes across the fiber path. First gapless, calibrated seismic across a city using their tech.

After a Year 9 class with 23 boys, I wanted to encourage/inspire more girls. So I created a Women in Computer Science (Aus Ed) poster set. Apologies to those who I missed, I could have easily made 80 :)

Excellent collection of @YOWLambdaJam talks! Very much looking forward to gradually traversing them.
