Kirby "I have no mouth but I must scream" edition. Kirby already is a cosmic horror if you think about it, but I think with this he found his match. All those nightmares in Dreamland and nobody thought of doing this yet.

ironically, randomized elections on average have optimal outcomes in terms of reflecting "the will of the people" - it's just that the resulting variance is also quite high

Blöderweise war diese Art von Strategie in anderen Kontexten offenbar erfolgreich. Idealerweise sollte Ukraine einen goldenen Schriftzug in seinem Namen auf das Land schreiben, so groß, dass man es aus dem Weltall sehen kann. Das könnte ihn vielleicht für fünf Minuten für Ukraine gegen putin stimmen

This looks like a nightmare. Not just the insanely claustrophobic houses, but also the absurdly enormously wide streets and the apparent lack of any actual infrastructure

Were you also the one who made channel playlists go antichronological by default and has actively avoided adding a "reverse order playback" button or equivalent? Because I think you deserve double that wage for that decision alone

but in US you only have two parties, so that shuffle has to be party-internal, with the tea party and Trumpism taking over GOP followed by the Bernie/AOC/Mamdani wing increasingly pressuring Dems
000
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 15/02/2026
I think the US is going through a similar thing as parts of Europe right now: The "old guard" of parties is falling apart and a "new guard" is taking over. One that's much more polarized, with far right rising, following by progressives. In Europe, you get party swaps (see UK Reform/Greens)

favoring GOP in spite of Trump's unpopularity, making it a needlessly close race. (But also, it's way too early for these hypotheticals in the first place) Trump is incredibly unpopular but so are the dems. And Newsom is precisely the kind of dem that pulls down popularity atm, is my Interpretation.

kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 15/02/2026
(not from the US) isn't the electorate that participates in primaries very different from the ultimate electorate? I think his point in part is that, if newsom were winning the primaries, that'd end up being a very low turnout election relative to what it ought to be

Yeah, exactly, It singles out purple. That's the whole issue for me. The mechanics it describes are fine, but they are at play regardless of what color you see, not specific to purple at all. Anyways, it's not that important. I just don't like overselling the common claim "purple is fake actually"
000
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
Morever, color interpretations of spectra aren't even stable. By just changing the surrounding context, you can easily shift somebody's perception of whether something is a bluish green or a greenish blue, or a yellowish green or a greenish yellow.
100
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
but it's extremely weak. You break down a continuum of spectral values into just three discrete channels. You can achieve the same colors in infinitely many ways. Which is why screens work with just three lights. The brain is not confused about purple any more than it is confused about teal.
100
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
including ones that go beyond any wavelength (such as when you exclusively stimulate M receptors, which naturally never happens because M and L overlap so strongly) Colors are perception. Wavelengths are physical quantities. There *is* a relation, as colors are weak evidence for certain spectra
100
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
The part where there supposedly is a confusion. The fact, that somehow it isn't supposed to be possible to make colors from opposing sides of the spectrum. Wavelengths and colors are kind of independent. You can in principle directly stimulate individual retinal cells to cause arbitrary colors
100
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
My issue is, that the article implicitly claims that colors besides purple, such as teal (which it mentions), are spectral, when for the most part they are not. Teal (as in the color of the sky) is very much a spectral mixture. There isn't really anything special happening with purple vs. teal.

I've seen a couple Let's Plays and it's quite hilarious to observe the truth of this. They basically had complementary experiences. Every mid-to-late-game boss one found easy the other struggled with. One's hours long attempts are the other's one-shot. On average they were about equally good tho
010
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
The article is making exactly the error I'm pointing out. With a tiny set of exceptions, *no* color corresponds to a wavelength. *Some* wavelengths correspond to specific colors. At least before you take into account adaption mechanisms which you'd really need to do to make sense of perception.
100
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
You can in fact get super-spectral color by, for instance, staring at something yellow for a whole, and then staring at something blue right after. The color impression you'll get is gonna be even more blue than the blue thing.
000
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
Nearly every color in nature is gonna have a mixed spectrum. And the tiny slice of colors that does not, is perceptually not actually special. And if you need to only activate a single receptor for a color to count as "real", anything but almost-infra-red won't count. The receptors overlap.
100
kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
No color is real. Wavelengths are just energy levels. Claiming purple is not real in this sense is the same as claiming there is no color except for spectral colors, which would mean, say, brown is not real. Or any color that's not super saturated.

not to be confused with fur-bought-n which would involve the wrong kind of o again

kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
fwiw the way I hear some English speakers pronounce "verboten" it does tend to sound more like in German it ought to be written "verbotten" (Not universal though) double consonants shorten the previous vowel and in case of o change the o sound from like "dough" to "got" fur-bough-tn (ish)

Is there a way to extend this somehow to include higher primes like log(7), log(11), log(13),..., perhaps by going to higher dimensions? Since this is based on triangular/hexagonal rather than quadratic grids, it's not quite clear what the correct generalization would be though...

kram1032 @kram1032.bsky.social · 24/12/2025
Even so you'd at least traditionally expect conservatives (who surely also have a historically tiny intend-to-vote share) to be worse on this than Labour voters but somehow that's not the case. Really weird poll outcome to me

What I don't want is a simple "minimize distance between specific preselected point on curve and specific datapoint": I am trying to optimize the curve to simultaneously have near arc length parametrization and I don't a priori know the optimal correct parameter. The data isn't evenly spaced.

@keenancrane.bsky.social Hi, I was wondering: Do you have some geometric magic energy that preferentially: 1. gets a curve to be close to (ideally passes through) an ordered set of data points 2. while avoiding itself Your works on tangent point energies seems related but I'm unsure about part 1

I can actually overcome the greys by blurring my vision for a bit but the yellow/blue illusion is completely impossible. Like, it's *so* deeply obviously different colors and nothing I can do changes that.

What, naaaah definitely not, I can't see it. Surely not.
Screenshot from Steven Universe Season 4 Episode 9: Three Gems and a Baby.
Baby Steven is held by his dad Greg and surrounded by the three remaining Crystal Gems, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl, all sitting in Greg's van, protected from the snowy winter cold.
Greg is enshrouded in a blue blanket.

This shot is a pretty clear reference to the Nativity scene:
Greg is Mary (who is often shown enshrouded in blue)
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl are the three Kings or perhaps the shepherds. Their symbol is a star and to them, Rose (now Steven) is who they follow.
Steven who is and isn't his mom and is and isn't Pink Diamond, is Baby Jesus who is not the father nor the ghost and yet all three are God.
The Van is the manger.

Earlier in the episode the three Gems brought this half-human infant three gifts that are as about as useful to him at the time as myrrh, gold, and frankincense would have been to a newborn Jesus.

Loved this episode of AA! Though I was surprised that you felt that a choice between Thanatos and Megara is necessary when the game itself, in true Ancient Greek fashion, happily embraces the "both" option
