.@0xmchow, any thoughts on the GTA VI leak? Seems to be up both your alleys (games and security).
Math opinion: Whenever you see τ (aka 2π), there is a hidden circle. But e shows up wherever the hell it feels like.
I asked @midjourney for beautiful people and ugly people. It doesn't seem to produce dark skin unless you ask, but that's better than using it for the uglies. It also seems to skew female in both. But it's not terrible.

They've got nothing on Hamilton, who inflicted quaternions on a BRIDGE.
Until they were used for 3D rotations by computers, this remained quaternion's only concrete application.

debugging strategy: write a unit test
ALT strategy: write a unit test If your program already has tests, adding a failing test can be a great way to work on your bug! person (thinking): "this function should return X, but it's returning Y" * it forces you to pinpoint what exactly the bug is * it's easy to tell when you've fixed it (the test passes!) * you can keep the test to make sure the bug doesn't come back

A hierarchy of alienness: Pictures of animals from least to most related to you.
Least-related animal: Sponges. You and sponges are both animals. That's basically all you've got in common.
Me: If the scientists say the vaccines are safe, then they're safe.
Also me: Why the heck are dentists putting mercury amalgam in people's mouths?? Even I know that's a bad idea.

One of the main reasons that figures made using GraphPad Prism look great by default is that it uses a big font for axis ticks and labels.
I’m sure there’s a good reason but I wonder why ggplot’s default is so small?
Me: drink the red flask
#EldenRing: Yeah you're already at full HP but sure
Me: get me on my horse before this guy kills me
ER: Are you sure you want to spend a flask on that? Lemme open a popup to confirm, the default is No and oh you just died bud
(Yes I know whom I'm disagreeing with but) This seems slightly disingenuous: you're not looking at each individual number but the patterns, bunches, an emergent story. Much like how we can describe a vortex without modeling each individual air molecule.
