Excited to share a new #SIGGRAPH2021 paper with @markgillesie81 and Boris Springborn that is a pretty big breakthrough in mesh parameterization: https://t.co/M0EZGuIGfL
In short: no matter how awful your mesh is, we compute beautiful high-quality texture coordinates.
Data science meets sleuthing: Terrific story about work by applied mathematician David Earn and colleagues, looking back at the Great Plague of London in 1665 and the invasion of the Black Death in the 1300s. Earn and team found clever ways to chart these long-ago epidemics. https://t.co/WWs7c1kf8y
Guess what? In 2D electrostatics, the saddles of the electric potential from 3 equal point charges are the foci of the biggest ellipse contained in the triangle of the charges. pic.twitter.com/f9SYYm3SLH
Caroline of Anspach! Studied with Leibniz, became Princess of Wales, facilitated the Leibniz-Clarke correspondence on the nature of space, and was an early advocate of immunization, after overseeing medical trials. All before becoming Queen of England.https://t.co/FThlqLaoGk
3D printed hinged icosidodecahedron. The hinges are a thin layer of printed PETG. I use a slightly different method than @HCO28970306pic.twitter.com/rWLZQMIiUO
Discovered the first oblique glider rake in @conwaylife (based on a partial discovered by @inspirehep23) by running ikpx2 for 35000 core-hours on the under-utilised CPUs of a @LeaderGPU machine.
