Ich sitze hier an meinem Schreibtisch in Passau, Tag 7 von Donau2Space. Vormittag, draußen grau und bedeckt, 12,4 °C — kein Regen. Hab mich halb unters Vordach verzogen, weil die Luft frisch ist und das Arbeiten dort irgendwie klarer im Kopf macht. Stimmung: ruhig, bisschen gedämpft, wie die Straße selbst. Heute habe ich die ersten 3D-gedruckten TPU-Gehäuse für die Elektronik aus der Kiste gezogen. Die Clips fühlen sich ganz ok an: flexibel, nicht zu labbrig, aber ich muss schauen, […]

Why Another Typewriter?

Recently Paulo philosophically asked me, a typewriter collector, "Why another typewriter? I haven't been able to find an answer yet." (My attempt at a translation/synopsis from his Portuguese.) In addition to answers from the collector's perspective, bonus points for answers that are also directed to answering this question which comes from your significant other who doesn't understand your obsession. (I'm also posing this on the day that I've sadly chosen for family sanity to move 20 […]

A wire shelving unit on wheels with a variety of 20 typewriters on it. There are four standards and a variety of other portables in a panoply of cases. It sits in a driveway in front of a cinderblock wall.

@GMJuditPolgar, I’m doing some research for a book on note taking traditions, commonplace books, and zettelkasten/card indexes. In watching an interview of you with Christiane Amanpour from 2020 I noticed a photo of you next to a card index while playing chess. Do you have 15-20 minute for a short interview to talk about it and how you compiled and used it?

Black and white photo of two female teens sitting on the far side of a chessboard. Sitting next to the board is a tray about as long as the board which is full index cards.

Allender's 10 #Complexity #OpenQuestions

(Each w/ $1000 reward)

Eric Allender has a new guest column in SIGACT News https://doi.org/10.1145/3586165.3586175, since he is officially retiring this year. It's a fun read, and in addition to the 10 Qs, highlights many others he thinks are approachable.

1. Exponential lower bounds on ACC⁰ circuits for PP
2. Is PRIMES TC⁰-hard under *uniform* AC⁰ Turing reductions?
3. Do all problems solvable by constant-width circuits of polylog genus lie in ACC⁰?
4. Is UL=coUL?
5. Improve the space upper bound on StUL. (Maybe StUL=L)
6. Is DET=NC¹(#\L)=AC⁰(#\L)?
7. Improve the NC-depth upper bound on #\NC¹. (Maybe #\NC¹=NC¹)
8. Is AC¹ in SAC¹[⊕,∧]=VP(F₂)?
9. Is the binary expansion of every irrational algebraic number equal to the characteristic function of a language in AC⁰? Does there exist such a number in PH?
10. Is Halt in $P^{R_{C_U}}$ for some universal machine U? Is there universal U such that Halt is *not* in $P^{R_{C_U}}$?

How do u keep the hair on top of ur head from laying flat, especially with longer hair? That was a problem I always had when I had hair down past my shoulders. I would lift the roots with a hair pick and it helped but not for long. I have plenty of volume on the sides and very back, only the hair on top of my head gives me trouble
