Since Nintendo has the rights, maybe they’ll make a surprise appearance in Smash Bros

I’ve never exactly been in the market for a bmw anyhow, but this is a great way to guarantee I will never want one.

I occasionally mourn the fact that I missed the opportunity to work in an office with pneumatic tubes. They seem so satisfying.

When these went viral in 2022 I read the research paper and found out that not only do they form a non-repeating pattern, but that non-repeating pattern relies on the occasional tile being reversed. That inspired me to 3D print a bunch of these that were a different color on each side and try assembling them. It’s very interesting, because you have a lot of options for how to put them together, but occasionally you’ll hit a point where the pattern itself forces you to put one in upside down, even though it’s non-repeating. Also, it’s possible to put it together “wrong” where at one edge you can’t add any more tiles in either orientation and have to disassemble part of it to continue. Very interesting to mess with.

Gozz is correct. You’re misunderstanding the nature of a digital signal. What the author did was convert a digital signal to an analog signal, store that analog signal on a bird, then record that analog signal. Whether it was redigitized after the fact is irrelevant. It is not a digital process end-to-end. This is the same as if I were to download a YouTube video, record that video on a VHS tape, then redigitize that video. Not only would the end result not be a bit for bit match, it wouldn’t be a match at all despite containing some of the same visual information, because it would be the product of a digital-analog-digital conversion.

Thank you for posting, I’ve never heard a name put to this ideology before, which I bought into wholeheartedly in the 2000s-2010s.
I think at this point time has shown that it is absolutely false, at least in terms of it being a force that can override the fundamental dynamics of capitalism.
