27 pieces.
I made it by from boromean rings at each corner, and then added the middle pieces. It still kind of works the same way, if you remove any one colour the other two are disconnected.

it’s hard not to get angry at these useless marketing messages. Also, notable that Altman studied for 2 years and dropped out, without any sort of degree at all.

While their chat arguably can be a bit useful at times, I just see no use of this what so ever. The phone that already has a display also already has a camera, a microphones, and sensors.

I love these kind of rabbit holes, and often there are still new things one can discover in them...

I finished reading the Hobbit with my 7yo, he loved it. Anyone have a recommendation for kid friendly scifi or fantasy, most stuff I know is not friendly enough.

I should have read the abstract of the paper, for any other lazy readers out there: "Then we compare the number of iterations of each of these fractals needed to produce a given knot as a mean to compare the complexity of the two fractals" (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.03639)

i wonder if knots can be classified by the required iteration depth to embed them…

#TilingTuesday Dodecahedral tangle.
If you intersect 3 golden rectangles, their corners can form a regular dodecahedron! But what if you extend the tiles to S shapes and then impossibly tile those?
