Many things in life are like opening a bag of snacks without making it explode.

Imagine Elden Ring x Tony Hawk

For any 2 points on the unit circle where the cosine of the angle between them is √3-1 then the chord length is also √3-1 I don't know, neat?

Recap. I take the MNIST data and tweak it a little. I take a 28x28 DCT and arrange in zigzag. If I keep the whole DCT I get very good classification, 96.9% accuracy.

Sharing this because I think its cool. Take the MNIST handwritten digit data set and perform a 28x28 DCT on each image and then throw away everything but 16 bytes. Your human brain can no longer recognize the numbers, but you can still train a neural net to (mostly) recognize them...

I think it's time to talk about this

I'm looking for work in cybersecurity. Trying to connect with people who have a network for referrals. I am open to joining teams for non-profits, indie news teams that are interested in receiving help figuring out security, and any tech stuff! Would love to get references and testimonials for it.

Rich business influencers will tell you they have an appetite for risk, but you know they never bought a 24 pack of ramen.

Did you know that cellular automata look sick if you color the cell based on which sub-rule fired? Its clear that some rules are mostly a certain color, which corresponds to the sub-rules that fire the most. I made a demo -> noctonic.github.io/wolf.html
