I would like to an inverse BBP algorithm so I can calculate where and if the words "Kharakov was here" appear in the base 37 expansion of pi (37 for space character). Ok. I just want to make one up for fun. I haven't looked into it too much and I'm thinking maybe the spigot algorithm isn't...

It's bullshit. It's a show of power by the corrupt majority, to mock the desire for equal rights of those they regularly use and abuse. You know why the grocery stores are empty? Because all of the lazy, piece of shit, corrupt motherfuckers who usually abuse restaurant workers are staying...

I wanted an interesting way of assigning positions. I'm already translating and rotating the objects- don't know if you can see it?

I meant something like this. I'm thinking of different directions to take it now. Any ideas?

The Gamma function is one of the functions connecting discrete and continuous mathematics. Euler's Formula (from A & S) is a nice, fully written out version. Loren had it, but I didn't see it at first when I glanced over his formulas. I think this version looks nicer: 1) Weird. I...

Any actual links to the actual NASA articles? I just got links to other articles in that link farm.

I don't know if I'll be able to fix the color assignment. I've a couple of ideas. Took me a couple of days to code this though. And I have more than one direction to take this. First- random assignment of location (rather than simple translation+rotation per cycle).

I shook hands with an Asian guy the other day, after I annoyed him by walking up and mispronouncing "你好", which I had just... failed to learn... on DuoLingo. He told me a story about being at a wedding where he was surprised by the number of Americans who could speak Mandarin. He later...

Rule of thumb: Always trust advocates for nuclear power from a nation with large Uranium deposits and no nuclear power plants

It's the wind man. The wind. Be nice.

"I am wearing latex" was great to read, until I got to the part where you wear condoms. Thanks for the image. It will definitely help out in the future, when I don't want to hook up with a hot woman. Ok. It won't help in the future. I'm not going to have that chance. lol. You're the...

Basically, I have a basic form already. Just a single "Jenga" stick. I want to translate, rotate, and duplicate it. But not symmetrically!!!! I'd like to make copies of the stick, rotate, and translate them. Maybe along a specific axis.... Scale them too. I want a jumble of sticks...

One GPU stick. I don't know the optimal way to jumble them up though. I could do translations, and rotations, then calculate new sticks. Maybe do some box tiling with rotations, for repetition? Maybe rotation tiling?

I agree with bilby's emphatically (well delivered like Hitler) position that hatred is a well defined Darwinian selection agent, as are all things. I also agree with his slightly less sober position (delivered more like Churchill) that it is a not at all well defined Darwinian selection...

I like your flowers!#!@$@ That's cool too. I wish I could do that on a GPU, turn an object into a jumble of sticks.
