given a quaternion rotation q, q² doubles the rotation √q halves the rotation qˣ scales the rotation by x as a rule of thumb - whatever operator you would use with vectors, like, say, addition, elevate it to the higher order operator (multiplication) to do the same thing on a quaternion

a table comparing vector operations to quaternion operations side by side, highlighting the similarities. the quaternion variants look almost identical, except they use the next higher order operator in each expression. ie: multiplication instead of addition. exponentiation instead of multiplication, etc.

MASSIVE strike at QUT today. About 200 of us on the picket line demanding better working and learning conditions from our overpaid corporate managers. Such incredible solidarity.

Formal affordances are the elements that pull a player toward certain actions, they “cry out” for the player to take those actions. Material affordances are the actions a system actually allows the player to take. Agency occurs when the two are in balance. (Mateas 2001)

I think if you meaningfully punish OpenAI & co for all of these cyberattacks then they will stop doing them. Whether or not you want to anthropomorphize the agents, you gotta just land there.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

more of this worm. he reminds me of a convenience store or gas station logo

three flat color drawings of a long bodied worm or snake like fantasy creature with six wings and a body that is striped with black on top, then blue, then red, and then yellow on the underside. it appears to be crying.

puddle shrimp get a shout-out in the Magic School Bus desert episode. that's right Arnold

screenshot from The Magic School Bus. Arnold and Phoebe are looking in a puddle in the desert, and the subtitles say "there are shrimp in this puddle".

screenshot from the next scene showing the puddle shrimp. They look like fairy shrimp, but the eyes should be a little bigger

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

Metroid manga: Round and Round
An Unexpected Discovery

Samus: I haven't been back to my starship in a long while.
Samus: It's gotten very dirty. It should be cleaned.
(Samus notices something while cleaning)
Samus: Oh!
(Samus is now curled into a ball and tucked into a small space)
Galactic Federation Voice: Samus! Report in! What are you doing? Respond!
Samus: Aaah! It's perfect for turning into a ball here!

Lots of Information

Samus: This is Samus! I've been exploring many places on my mission!
Galactic Federation Voice: Have you really been doing anything?
Samus: If you don't believe me, just take a look at this map!
Galactic Federation Voice: Oh! I see you've been rapidly progressing!
Samus: See, see?
(Galactic Federation Guy looks at Samus's map, which is full of her notes)
Galactic Federation Guy: As for these notes...
The notes: "Here's a roundy, and it's very nice!"
"Here's another."
"Rolly place."
"There was a roundy here, but it broke down."

quaternions/4D sphere geometry isn't that complicated! just remember ( 1/√2, 0, 0, 1/√2 ) is a positive and/or negative rotation around X and/or YZ by 90° and/or 45°
