What’s up with Maxwell and Autism?
I wanted to represent science, math and engineering with those.
black people are popular with the autistics?
If there’s ever a race war, I’m 100% team black, if they’ll have me.
I have met far more certifiably autistic black anime fans than white ones.
‘Drop it like it’s hot’ is the first thing I think of when I see that pic of Thomas.
Conlangs!!
Stupidly large murika style cars are gonna be a no from me dawg
Look at that thing, the bonnet comes up to this stomach!
Not autism approved nu-uh
I see a flag. I like flags. Especially the Japanese flags. I don’t specifically care for Japan, but the flag is one of my favourites. I prefer flags with low entropy: so I wrote a script once that ranks the nations flags by entropy so I could quantify my preference. Thanks for letting me infodump a bit.
Hmm. It seems weird that any tricolour flags would have different entropies, but I don’t know how you would otherwise do a multichannel entropy.
I was imagining a kolmogorov-esque doodad
Yes! And weirder that bicolour banded flags are not consistently on top. I suspect some float errors. I just know that using the typical Shannon style does even worse. I might add some filter that calculates a differential or something.
I also love flags, flags are so beautiful (except the flag of Haiti, fuck you Haiti with your MS paint looking flag)
Their previous version was indeed without the coat of arms. Much cooler I think. During that time the Liechtenstein flag was identical, but they (Liechtenstein) changed it upon discovery.
What is it about the flag of Japan that you like so much?
Simplicity I suppose. Colour combination. In my opinion if i can draw it from memory it’s a good flag.
Two colors, with a basic shape centered? I guess it’s ok.
“Welcome to fun with flags!”
I love that you have multiple people replying to you asking for technical details on how you ranked the flag entropy. This is how you know that you are amongst your people here <3
How do you rate entropy? Is the script open source so we can see it?
I tried different definitions and settled on spectral entropy. This one uses fourier transform and (I think) this takes the spacial relation of the pixels into account, as opposed to the more common Shannon definition. I’d like to share it but am not sure on how to do that: were I to use GitHub I would doxx myself.
How are you defining the entropy of a flag?
i’d define it as size of an svg file that represents the flag, since more complex flag -> more fundamental elements (rectangles, circles) needed -> bigger file size -> more entropy.
Subtracting it’s normalized negentropy from 1
Well you gotta share that ranking now…
I owe it to the community. Since I don’t have it anymore I am coding it up again. Allow me some time - it’s weekend and I have family to look after.
And that script. I’m curious how you implemented it.
…and what is the stack ranked result?
That really depends on the algorithm used. Ideally it takes colous and spacial information into account. I’ll keep you posted on the ranking.
What do the cat ears have to do with Maxwell’s equations
My interpretation is noise sensitivity.
Couldn’t nicely put pngs with transparent backgrounds in there for these two, so they both got white backgrounds and put next to each other.
Why not put it in the JP flag?
No idea. Cat ears seem to be more popular with computer science people, should’ve put them on the Rust logo instead.
Aren’t they more queer than autistic (though probably falling in the overlap)?
C and Rust mentioned in one meme? Be more careful to not cause a ruckus next time.
Yeah, please limit your programming language mentions to memory safe languages only!
Also in the meantime: github.com/Speykious/cve-rs
Wow, the precision with which this struck me is concerning. I’m really, incredibly autistic at all times aren’t I?
Tylenol sure is a hell of a drug

It needs timepieces. Or am I the only one who likes NTP, ISO-8601 and Casio F-91Ws?

Just you. They’re made exclusively for you.
