    If you allow one to alter zero dots, i.e., to repeat characters, you can get up to 7 letters with STINGING (⠌⠬⠬).

    Even allowing for filler characters like spaces or capitalization (⠠) doesn't improve things much, mostly because few letters are adjacent (in F_2^6) to these special characters so they don't improve alphabet traversal.

    You might hope there are longer Braille chains, but no! The only grade-2 braille strings of length 5, like FISTS as ⠋⠊⠎⠞⠎, are more accurately transcribed as something else (in this case, ⠋⠊⠌⠎) that doesn't alternate properly. (Works in grade 1, though!)

    Longest in English chars: THESIS (⠮⠎⠊⠎), STARTS (⠌⠜⠞⠎), TARTAR (⠞⠜⠞⠜), some less common words.

    Spent way too long coding this up - many interpretations, but all turn out to be pretty underwhelming:

    Bought a tungsten cube off Amazon for $170 a few weeks back, already the best purchase I’ve made in months.

    *takes deep breath* i am exhausted by our failure of imagination. at least give me flash mobs on demand. give me city-wide AR games and houses that grow — literally. because genomics. take me to that goth rave where neo met trinity, and HELLO: where the hell has laser tag gone?

    (The actual rate of people talking about math was fairly low - 2 conversations in 90 minutes of sitting around with the sign - but that was fine, I just read a book and that was quite enjoyable by itself. Probably you can increase this rate by picking higher-traffic locations)

    I sat in Central Park last weekend with this sign for two hours and had some pretty good conversations. I think in general people do less of this sort of thing than they ought to - the risks of inviting new interactions with people are pretty small, and potential upsides large.

    I've been covering the Sackler backlash, which reached a new stage today with the Louvre renaming the Sackler Wing of Oriental Antiquities and taking Sackler off the walls and website:

    Shitpost combining the double slit experiment with the trolley problem as a meme, invoking the Copenhagen vs Many Worlds vs Pilot Wave debate and taking a dig at virtue ethics, accompanied by an illustration. Too much text to replicate here in Twitter's shitty ableist UI.

    Demonstrating 6 is possible is pretty easy, though; here's an example. All vertices have a unique tuple (degree, smallest degree of neighbor), so there can't be any nontrivial automorphisms.

    What's the easiest proof? Suppose G is smallest such, |G|=n; easy to see no vertex has degree 0 or n-1. If all have deg 1, 2, then connected components are lines/loops (easy to flip). So ≥1 has deg 3. From there you can casework n=5, but still kinda gross. Anything more elegant?

    The sign read: One guard speaks lies, the other the truth. "So you two are friends?" she said. "Yes," both said. "Hey hold on," said one.

    Coniferous University’s College of Time Travel has finished experimenting on the one-hour period extracted back in March. As a public service, that hour will now be used to extend the coming weekend. Please ignore any redundant iterations of yourself encountered during that time.
