Considering the comic says «tweet by @spinningjoe» in the bottom right, I think it is safe to assume he did!

Want something that folds perfectly to A4? A3. One more fold? A2.

This made it sound like you meant that folding an A3 sheet twice gives A2 😅 Might just be my reading comprehension, though!

You’d still get «weird» lengths in the other dimension, though. Remember, the aspect ratio has to be 1 to the root of 2 for the folding in half to work.

Also, I don’t think 1024 would have been such an obvious number back in the late 1700’s, when this system was first thought up 😅

There is a system of sizes where the shortest side of the base size is exactly 1 meter, though: the B system. The aspect ratio is the same as for the A sizes.

I see what you’re saying, but the «weird» dimensions are what makes the whole thing with folding in half to get the next size work:

The aspect ratio has to be 1 to the root of 2 for it to work, and that’s going to make some dimensions «uneven». The utility of that system is worth it many times over!

What on earth are you on about with those numbers? 😅

A0 is the base size, with an area of one square meter. Fold that in half and you get A1. Fold that in half and you get A2, and so on. Regular printer paper is A4. You’ll rarely, if ever, see sizes smaller than A6.

He’s going to watch the game through the hole

Haha, I guess!

On a related note, is Serial Experiments: Lain actually available to watch anywhere, or would I have to take to the high seas?

The page in this exact screenshot is pretty bad, but their design system is actually very well researched and implemented!

It’s very stripped down, but that makes sense considering where it is used (important information and forms).

Looks like a gov.uk site from the UI elements!

Yup, if every frame after the first was mirrored (not the text, obvs) this would make much more sense!

On a Mac it’s shift + option + dash. Just option + dash for an en dash.

Came here to say this (no pun intended)

It would also be super impractical to have a fire going underneath the entire boiler 😅 Much better to send the hot air «through» the water in pipes.

Tsheese

Visualizing =/= imagining. People with aphantasia imagine things all the time! They might just not «see» them in the same way.

Yes, they are slower. However, I think that the pricing we’re going to see from the cloud providers might be enough to deter quite a lot of people. At least I hope so:

The fact that we’re already used to blazing speed generation kinda sucks. Local models are a much more sustainable way of unlocking the benefits of LLMs than giant ecosystem- and community-destroying data centers.

It’s the same as in Chinese, so I wouldn’t expect it to be 😅

Took me way too long 😅 I had apparently managed to suppress the memory of that whole train wreck…

“Sea legs” would have been my suggestion
