Dope. It would be really cool to read/see the further adventures of Munchy Man and the politically-incorrect worlds he visits. Many years ago, I worked in a Deli at a coop where one of the cashiers was my friend. We coped by collaborating on a comic called "grisly customer death". It mostly

"3D enough"? My guess is you already know all this. But just in case ... I would have guessed it would be easy enough in Blender (e.g. https://youtu.be/AlPPYkZg9D4). But I suppose it depends on how much automation you expect. SketchUp and AutoDesk should do something more automatic. But

Back in the day I'd sketch a character I made up: Munchy Man, super duper hero that I'd draw on homework. And get in trouble for all kinds of made up or borrowed sayings around Murphy's Law. Stuff like "for every question about homework their's a equal and opposite confusing answer" I took my

Complexity and what's right up peoples ally: I've gotten into sketching again. Ok that's nice you'll say. and what's have to do with a list about math you say? the fun of x z, and wtf axis! Is their a program where you can sketch stuff, and it' can figure out how to make what you have drawn into

What follows are mostly speculations: It is possible that we do not get to have closed cartesianess (with all of its currying and the rest) and so we do not really get to have *all* possible worlds, perhaps only those that are symmetric monoidal. Still, what then does this mean for us, since we

It's unclear to me why friam@redfish.com was CC'ed. But I'll assume it's an open invitation to argue ... The Student's response seems, to me, to be clear evidence of a Bad Faith contrarian. Anyone who has any interaction with any chemicals at all, knows the "language of a lab tech". The

I think this comes very close to our discussion on operationism. My response to eric’s challenge on that score was his “quantity” argument, which he himself disavowed. The attempt to identify a concept by a single operation or even by operations within a single paradigm is operationism, which

We haven't broached Wolpert's later questions much. But before I try to do that, I'd like to follow up on these 2 things: • What errors are involved with my cf to List's "indexicality"? • My intention with the "percolation ..." was to allude to the limits of our convex hull. From Dave's
