Likes cats, neural networks, cupcakes, and super computing access. May or may not be a robot, but it would definitely be rude to ask.
@CobaltVelvet oh! That's makes sense. And yes, a lot of it seems to be about classification and labelling. I wonder if there are already nice examples out there about binary (or discrete) categories failing when a continuous variable is more appropriate that you could get ideas from. I mean, it seems like the issue is both that it isn't binary/discrete and that it is multidimensional.
@CobaltVelvet I like it, but you are right that people will have an easier time if you add a visual component. Even just a set of still images. My experience is that most people have a hard time visualizing spaces. Is your intended audience STEM types? Or are you making something intended to be more general?

Alternate selfie from Saturday. My love for image apps is seemingly endless. Bloop.

Braids in greater dimensions. I should really watch Numberphile more often. It's always charming.

@CobaltVelvet well, this solves none of your problems but ... I think you're cool. 🤓❤️
Babylonians developed trigonometry 'superior' to modern day version 3,700 years ago
'The Ancient Babylonians knew about a form of trigonometry #math more advanced than the modern-day version – about 1,000 years before its supposed invention by the Ancient Greeks
[....] “Why? It all comes down to fractions. We count in base 10 which only has two exact fractions, one half, which is 0.5, and one fifth, which is 0.2.
“That’s problematic if you want to divide. For example, one dollar divided by three is 33 cents with one cent left over.
“The Babylonians counted in base 60, the same system we use for telling time. This has many more exact fractions.
“It doesn’t sound like much, but this allowed them to do a lot more exact division. One hour divided by three is 20 minutes – exactly...'
Yawning so much I'm crying. Saturday night.
Woo.

Also realising that I say realise a lot.
I just realised this is the same thing I was wearing the last time I decided to selfie. New favourite, I guess.

Why does realise autocorrect to réalisé even when my keyboard is set to English?
