I’ll shill a library I wrote to make wigglegrams & stereograms in matplotlib - I think pseudo-3D visualization is super underrated as a technique to understand data! mpl_stereo: https://github.com/scottshambaugh/mpl

Thanks for sharing! My background is in control theory, and I think the links between it and game theory and dynamical systems in general are super fruitful but woefully underexplored. Writing this was a good excuse to brush up on my linear

I had the computer do it for me :) Really though, the way to do this is to represent each game as a payout matrix A, which for this category of game will be skew-symmetric with -1/0/+1 entries. Then since this is a symmetric zero-

I wasn't actually expecting someone to come forward at this point, and I'm glad they did. It finally puts a coda on this crazy week. This situation has completely upended my life. Thankfully I don’t think it will end up doing last

I haven't been responding to comments since the volume is way too high, but have read most of them. I'm really glad this is resonating with people and generating a lot of discourse - what happened to me gets to the heart of a lot

Thank you for the support all. This incident doesn't bother me personally, but I think is extremely concerning for the future. The issue here is much bigger than open source maintenance, and I wrote about my experience in more detail h

Thanks for adding it! I think anaglyphs are super underused in 3D visualization. The grid lines look pretty good in 3D but the orbits themselves aren't as sharp - it might be the coloring or it might be that the angular distance betwee

“Should” statements are different from “is” statements - I would not expect them to compile.

Yeah I sympathize with the author, but it’s not hard to talk about these things with a little bit of tact. Intellectual humility also helps. I’ve come to realize I and most others know approximately 0 about most political issues, so it’s an

This I think is an underrated tool for scientific visualization. I made a matplotlib add-on that will let you make stereogram plots of data, and use this cross eyed or parallel eyed techniques to see it in 3D. https://github.com&

It’s a really good idea! Unfortunately not too much, since the error is largely from atmospheric distortion of the signal and so the error for two receivers close by would be correlated. You’d need the error to be uncorrelated to gain accur

> whichever is greater This always stuck out in an otherwise excellent bit, because you should definitely _not_ be taking the absolute value of your control error.

My take is that it would probably be possible with enough effort, but there isn't an easy solution. And if you don't need it then the best part is no part. :)

I'd be very interested in the systems advertising that! I have not seen that even for stationary surveying equipment. I think it's also important to distinguish between RMS error which is often the better topline spec that compani

That’s about the level I would pay for the service, a major bummer that lite isn’t available in the US.
