This video was a complete joy to make. Here's a short preview, but next time you're looking to sit down for 45 minutes of math and art, take a look at the full version on YouTube.

1. Proving theorems does matter, but it's just one aspect of math. It's arguably the most publicized one, but not the most important one. Here's an essential quote by Fields medallist Bill Thurston: "The product of mathematics is clarity and understanding. Not theorems, by themselves. Is there, for example any real reason that even such famous results as Fermat's Last Theorem, or the Poincaré conjecture, really matter? Their real importance is not in their specific statements, but their role in challenging our understanding, presenting challenges that led to mathematical developments that increased our understanding."

Here's a surprising appearance of e: the limit when n approaches infinity of the nth root of the least common multiple of 1,2,…,n

This math joke is nice.

@DennisTheArtist @islamhimelk No idea, been out of the tweak development game for years now

@rainwolf @islamhimelk Hi does your repo link source work on Sileo or Zebra?

iOS 11 test versions of MoonPhase and WeatherLock can be found at submanifold.be/cydia/ These will stop working at the end of the month, and no promise of support.

@DennisTheArtist For me, it was key to getting podman to work. Additionally, x86_64 binaries need rosetta to run on apple silicon, so i also expect better performance from my brand new homebrew arm64 binaries.

@rainwolf Is that a bad thing? What does that mean?

it took me only 3 years to realize my entire homebrew was not installing arm64 packages. *facepalm*

A curious identity involving e and π

In an emergency, people you trust may need secure access to your passwords, files, & emails. Emergency Access ensures critical data is not locked away/lost when the unexpected happens. Designate who can get emergency access, define how access is granted, and then relax. 1/2

the python 3.13 repl got a bit sweeter: history can now go back in blocks of code, rather than just lines. #QoL

Happening right now in our skies: Titan is casting a shadow directly onto Saturn, creating an eclipse in the cloud tops of the gas giant. Saturn's tilt relative to the sun means it only happens when the rings are seen edge-on like this... I've never seen it before!

another smooth upgrade, this time from bookworm to trixie, the debian crowd really know what they're doing
