I didn't expect breaking up with someone to feel this bad
Does the human mind do second-order prediction to steer towards grokking? I remember that there's a way to feel when you're about to understand

Very interesting "near-miss" of two integer sequences. I have to think about why the early coincidence happens.
@nixCraft true, but you're missing out on math

Every other number designates a failure state, I guess?
2nd original sin in computing was 1==true 1==false

fascinating reddit phenomenon
- r/anarchychess leaks onto a bunch of neighboring subreddits by replying to things with a string of replies: "Google [x]" "holy hell" etc.
- one of which is r/mathmemes, specifically with minimal square packing memes: "Google square packing" etc. sub is flooded with square packing memes.
- r/mathmemes bans square packing memes. users flock to r/anarchychess
- result: hybrid chess/math memes that sort of defy description
@chjara likes are about content, (((boosts))) are about social association
