i would rather see the eigenvector centrality of the adjacency matrix than just estimated distance.

aside from the first, the next few eigenvectors would be great.

anyone done this?

yeah that one really tortures it

can you post a screenshot? i haven't tested on ipad

i'll upload them soon

try different maps, editing the constraints, etc? it's sortof a "torture the optimizer" but it does solve many things

no dynamics model (uses bicycle model) but i built a solver for parking

i've been making a bunch of fun physics games like this. i need to push out the latest one. try this one, torture a parking optimizer: https://truckslop.joshu.dev/

btw these guys worked for me on del.icio.us back in the day. i have been playing with it for a bit and it’s really great. i already set up a spare monitor just for this

ha i just tried making a sort of ouija board for jev this morning. it struggled. i look forward to reading how this one works.

we are definitely getting AGI before a new starcraft

is... this a reference to "language is a virus from outer space" by ws burroughs?

thank you.

which ones have you recreated? i mostly use python w/ shapely.

berkeley/stanford birthed risc. acorn was inspired by the berkeley risc i papers.

this is awesome. i have always wanted to build something like this. figured i would just use a regular sensor and use the adjacent pixels to calculate optical flow.

discontinued and going for almost double the msrp on ebay, alas

I'm not complaining - I even have a Forth pet project myself. Just noticing that it's showing up a lot lately.

is it me or is forth coming up a lot lately? or am i just having a plate-o-shrimp situation?

well played

2.5 flash was absurdly capable on a cost basis

Oh, this is awesome. I actually have this book. Also, for some reason, I am writing a hacking game based around fourth which has been interesting.

it is real. serial number 2. it’s a terrifying car. i can’t drive it much at my home track (laguna) because of the sound level, and it’s not eligible for most track days. https://www.jalopnik.com/don-t-feel-bad-if-you-get-passed-by...

it runs knobbly tires so just going to slicks would probably help a lot, but i don’t think the transmission is built for it.

my ae86 is caged and my s13 was a formula D car. they can be amusing

i have a '62 lotus 23, i am tempted to put carbon fiber body panels on it to lower the weight even further (currently ~ 900 lbs)

that’s a good list. i also collect japanese beaters (currently several miatas, an ae86 and an s13) and british lightweights (two vintage lotus racers and a modern aston factory race car) so lots of overlap.

i have been looking for a 944 as well. there’s a great porsche shop across from my workshop so at least it will be convenient.

what’s the list?

i had a gr corolla for a year and sold it. the ITCC (the sealed clutch pack that transfers power to the rear) “overheats” and the throws the car into 2wd limp mode after a session and a half on track. “overheat” is in quotes because supposedly it doesn’t have a temperature sensor at all, the ecu runs a model based on other sensors (rear diff etc) and guesses that it is overheating.

still, a pretty amusing car. the traction control system is outstanding, it’s very hard to upset and you can trivially drift it around every corner. even with aggressive play on an empty track it was a incredibly difficult to spin the car. sadly it wasn’t that fun as a DD (you really have to wind it up.) i also had a focus RS (i like hot hatches, i guess) and found it somewhat boring on track and a lot more fun on the street (way more torque at the bottom)

anyway, it remains: miata is always the answer

the projects part is the manifesting

i love the "hardware from an alternate universe" projects.
