@TamasGorbe My favorite and arguably the original instance of this is "Machine with concrete" by the artist Arthur Ganson.

@prathyvsh Since you delved deep into this, have you ever found a compendium of where/why Sierpinski triangles appear? They seem to be so ubiquitous and arising from so many different processes.

@LucasVB which means it is a poset too! x.com/prathyvsh/stat…

@akivaw @JDHamkins Found out from @isomorphisms post: isomorphismes.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/blo… that this can be encoded as a lattice structure. So can in general refinement relations be modelled using lattices?

Fun fact: the blood donation compatibility chart forms a Sierpinski triangle. This can be seen by writing the blood types as 3D binary vectors (A,B,rh), with O- being (0,0,0) and AB+ as (1,1,1), and subtracting recipient from donor. (image source: openmd.com/guide/blood-ty…)

@The_DoctorO I noticed the newer versions use a generic file info window for all supported file types. Is there any way to get the plugin-specific windows back? I can't easily access certain features of Alpha-II and in_vgm now.

One of the worst scifi movie tropes is when characters analyze some alien material and say "it doesn't match anything in the periodic table", as if aliens are just building everything out of transactinides.

Wikipedia is now full of essentially duplicate articles on several math subjects, because the machine learning crowd insists on recreating their own version of everything.

@FoldableHuman What depresses me the most about these people is that they seem to genuinely believe they have some worthwhile creative idea, and all that was missing was some generative tool.

Have you ever seen anyone attempting to visualize the action of unitary transformations beyond 2 dimensions? (so no Bloch sphere stuff)

@michael_nielsen I just really miss the golden age of IRC, and Discord is the closest thing we have these days. There's something special about online communities (think IRC and forums) that has been lost over the past decades on the internet.

My only real use for ChatGPT so far has been in writing fancy ffmpeg commands.

@smilicic @gregeganSF No, because Mathematica isn't just doing "text formatting" here. Every object in Mathematica is part of the same semantically-driven hierarchy. You can include any object inside a string, including equations, raster and vector graphics, equations, etc.
