@LissaKEvans Let the shop be. Let there be bagels.
Hey font people, the OG optical corrections are under attack!
Everyone has heard the story about how the horizontal lines of the Parthenon are subtly curved to adjust for an optical illusion that would make them *look* curved if they were *actually* straight. According to recent research, however, there is simply no evidence for this
@DoggyCapital @DylanoA4 Reminds me of the “crisis of proliferation” that @jattali wrote about in Bruits/Noise (1977). Excellent radio programme in 2015 by @SamYorkMusic “The Pop Star and the Prophet” interviews Attali, well worth a listen. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b0…

@Mytho_1776 @JamesWHankins1 @JSTOR @grok If @elonmusk used just 0.5% of his wealth to play the modern Carnegie, and to reestablish the physical library as a shared community asset for curious minds, especially the young, and as a fortress to defend information, it would be the greatest philanthropic act of the century.
Is there any better example of ancient perspective?
Roma non smette mai di incantare il mondo. Siamo sul Colle Oppio, nelle gallerie sotterranee delle Terme di Traiano, e qui sotto c’è una meraviglia unica al mondo: la “Città dipinta”. È un affresco straordinario, una vera e propria città vista dall’alto, con le mura, le torri e

Following the UN vote on #EqualEarth I built a light #D3 app with sliders for central meridian/reference parallel. I like using 45° instead of the equator; balances distortion, brings the Arctic Circle into view, shows northern landmasses clearly. Try it: codepen.io/editor/starida…

@AntigoneJournal Nice! Acquiring all of them at once is the only way. They share a single ISBN, so almost all advertised volumes, being catalogued via ISBN, are misidentified. Still, it’s meant I got several free (after refund) in my effort to purchase those I wanted :)

Investigating the order/chaos boundary of the double pendulum. Probably the best mathematics visualization I’ve ever seen.
As someone who ships LLM systems in production, this double pendulum video is the closest thing to a "why one changed word breaks Claude and GPT-5" explainer I've ever seen released for free. Everyone thinks LLMs are deterministic machines. They're not. Every prompt to GPT-5 is

In other words, a disgraceful dereliction of duty for a site of cross-cultural significance, that should be open to all curious visitors, to say nothing of its alleged protection by @UNESCO. Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Great to see an animated version of the dimension-busting Flatland photography by @aydinbuyuktas. It would be fantastic to try this in a navigation app.

Remembering the night I got fixated on paper data storage and learned you can fit about 140 pages of (encoded) plaintext on a single sheet of paper. The page below includes the encoder legend and its source code repeated 26 times It's illegible at a glance and breaks when photographed or shared on social media, but is totally reconstructable without guidance if printed, scanned, and handed to an LLM for decoding Do with that what you will!
@TimBryars At least now we know where all those large mystery orders were coming from! Don’t let the props people pulp them all after the filming…
