@Atrix256 @iquilezles I recently put out some (working code) thing that relates to a bunch of "approximating functions with polynomials" things both of you have been talking about. I hope you find it readable and useful.

I keep hearing about this "vibe physics" thing people are doing. So I asked an AI to make an image of how it might work.
Apparently the answer has something to do with turtles.

Mathematics. Puzzles from Bengaluru, India.
There are people who can actually solve this problem, given the limited info provided. (The author told me he designed this in honor of the Aditya L1 Solar Mission Launch by the Indian Space Research Organization today.)

Google Maps rendering that you have never seen before with #Tellusim engine. A single 2080Ti can run 5 2K displays. GPU JPEG decoding, GPU BC7 real-time encoding, and GPU-driven pipeline that can handle times more data.

Mathematics, physics.
It is very unlikely for a tweet on "Nose Cone Volumes" to be retweeted. It lacks the kind of excitement required for a tweet to become popular and beloved.

Mathematics.
Shiver in ecstasy. The Harborth Graph is the smallest-known example of a planar graph with straight, equal-length edges that do not cross one another, and each vertex has 4 other neighbors.
Will humans ever find a smaller example? tinyurl.com/ycx8s7aq

The othello experiments, mentioned later in this thread, have started to change how I think about this topic.

Great example of why you shouldn't read too much into analogies like "bullshit generator" and "blurry JPEG of the web". The best way to predict the next move in a sequence of chess moves is… to build an internal model of chess rules and strategy, which Sydney seems to have done.
