Here's an example of using #clojure to define a data model for CAD geometry and operations. From that model, I can create a STEP file via #FreeCAD and also view/export a meshed solid via #OpenSCAD

Mutation doesn't break referential transparency as long as it preserves equality.

This is quite useful if you have fixpoints or HoTT.

The model also features a dual-branch design, with one branch for color identity extraction and the other for colorization, leveraging the strengths of diffusion models. By employing self-attention mechanisms within diffusion models, it achieves powerful context learning and color identity matching.

It's done! After *checks notes* 6 months of yak shaving, I finally finished Part 3 of my Pragmatic Category Theory series!

In this part, I give three more real-world examples of applying Semigroup while exploring why Associativity truly matters in detail.

Functional Programming self-affirmations:

1. Parse, Don’t Validate

2. Make Illegal States Unrepresentable

3. Errors as values

4. Functional Core, Imperative Shell

5. Smart Constructor

Have you ever wondered why diffusion models memorize and all initializations lead to the same training sample? As we show, this is because like in dynamic systems, the memorized sample acts as an attractor and a corresponding attraction basin is formed in the denoising trajectory.

🧵 At NeurIPS last year, we introduced Sequential Attachment-based Fragment Embeddings (SAFE), a novel line notation for chemical structures that reimagines SMILES strings as an unordered sequence of interconnected fragment blocks.

Naturalistic encoding of concepts in the brain

@viktorkewenig.bsky.social shows that, while concepts generally encode habitual experiences, the underlying neurobiological organisation is not fixed but depends dynamically on available contextual information. 👏🍾🐐

New paper story time (now out in PNAS)! We developed a method that caused people to learn new categories of visual objects, not by teaching them what the categories were, but by changing how their brains worked when they looked at individual objects in those categories.

The 25m Dwingeloo radio telescope (owned by ASTRON) has been operating since '50s. Recently, it has been used more by amateurs and pro-am radio astronomers.

Excitingly, they picked up the Voyager 1 signal.

Voyager 1 is ~25 billion km away! (~4 x Pluto distance)
