We recently updated the Vischeck website properly after 25 years. Everything is now client-side Javascript and the color vision simulations, Daltonize correction and infant vision simulations are all in the same place. Full GPL source code is available on

Enjoy!

This guy's entire output is incredible (from alien tellitubbies onwards). Go moose! https://mastodon.social/@ancientjames

My fav: a two-by-two LEGO block that can run and show Doom. https://www.hackster.io/news/james-brown-s-tiny-lego-brick-c...

An earlier iteration of the same block is imo more impressive in its creativity - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wBrOV2FJM8&t=720 - such an unexpected and yet completely natural extension of the brick set.

Thank you Uncle Dane. Uncletopia is my happy place. I know that people say that the solutions to lots of problems are political not technical. But I think in this case there really are simple technical fixes that would be trivial to implement and very effective. Off to W+M1 right now...

For the most relaxing thing you will do today - try to get the different layers to be homogeneous by perturbing them slightly with the cursor.

Sufficiently accurate clocks can act as 'relativity sensors' - measuring changes in the 'time' bit of spacetime due to small changes in gravity.

I >think< that this will enable more accurate magnetometers (see OPM-MEG and atomic clock magnetometers). Which can be used, among other things, for measuring neuronal activity.

Can you explain your reply a bit; how will MEG tech evolve from this breakthrough?

I'm still reading the paper but I think it might enable better versions of this sort of thing: https://www.nist.gov/noac/technology/magnetic-and-electric-f...

makes sense, thanks for the link

Weird use case: sending EEG trigger codes through a Dpixx interface to an old ANT amplifier requires the codes to be Morton numbers. It took us a loooong time to work that out :)

I was completing my PhD at the time. I called it 'Thesis Annihilation'.

But but not a good experience on mobile. I like the feature where you can compare two species...

You might be surprised to learn that Baddeley is a) still an active scientist and b) still turns up to undergraduate seminars (although now on zoom).
