I’ve uploaded it here for now: https://github.com/GollyGang/ruletablerepository/blob/gh-pages/downloads/CY_Lee_computer.zip
Ported some of my old artificial chemistry C++ code from a desktop app to WebAssembly and Emscripten. That means that it runs just as fast as before but now runs on any browser. Very satisfying! https://timhutton.github.io/squirm3/
If you want to get started with using C++ to write graphical web apps that use WebAssembly to run at native speed on any platform then check this out. Simple code to get you up and running. https://github.com/timhutton/sdl-canvas-wasm
At the summit of Mont Fort (3330m) in Verbier with some excellent people.
Wait, memories are formed by retrotransposons? This is staggeringly huge news. It means the brain might be using gene regulatory networks for computation. It means that memories might be passed between people by viruses, like the common cold. Time to reread Darwins Radio. https://twitter.com/johncarlosbaez/status/952614182834204672

Oh! You glue the strips on the edges and then slice into lots of little loops?
A great way to learn about reinforcement learning. I feel engaged by the way Agent Cranberry Fox reflects upon her triumphs and disasters. I know she’ll have a great day tomorrow. https://twitter.com/algoritmic/status/955483652015706113

Google translate thinks your post means ‘I get the bread out of it’. And now I learn that #TranslateFromEstonian is a common issue.

As a parent, I try to be careful to criticize behavior, not identity - the difference between doing something bad and being a bad person. The idea is that the child then feels they can change. Your proposal hits at the same thing - to empathise with people who’ve made mistakes.
Capitalism can be a wonderful engine for prosperity but we HAVE TO spread the wealth around more or it will destroy itself. https://twitter.com/oxfamgb/status/956569151987994625

Outside of mathematics and dictatorships, truth is messy, because the process that makes it is organic. It is a self-righting mechanism, robust against the forces of manipulation. As impervious to weapons as fog.
