I enjoyed making the sketches for this post, they're just custom html elements I chucked straight into the markdown. This post was low stakes, just describing a thing I did. Next time will be spicier.
QR data transfer protocols.

anyone know of a good way to subscribe to specific researchers, RSS-style? Something that's not tied to a specific journal. .

If you want to collaborate, are looking for co-authors on work you think would interest me, or just want to chat, please reach out!. It will take some time adjusting to my new existence, so I will start slow. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to eat a bagel. (4/4).

I am very open to org-level research collaborations, from short residencies to longer term research projects if the fit is right. I am also hoping to publish more work and hope to find co-authors who have a stronger academic publishing background than me. (3/4).

For the past ~2 years I've only had about 0.5 days per week to put research together and share it. With the huge increase in free time I will be writing and sharing more work, pursuing more diverse and ambitious research and making space for collaboration. (2/4).

UPDATE: I am going full-time on applied & independent research! . After the last year with @websim_ai and ~5 years at @block_science, it's time to give my research the attention it deserves. (1/4).

this just solved 80% of a problem I’ve been struggling with for months! thank you @furafuku.
What the world needs is more morphological closing: one of the best tricks for organically smooth unions with clean, tightly-connected boundaries. Not only does it avoid the need for isosurface extraction, but it also works with arbitrary geometries, not just circles.

What if browsers shipped with servers?. You could open *folders* of html/css/js, open local files with HTTPS, update your ‘software’ via filesystem APIs when online… shifting agency toward users and creating new possibilities for authorship and distribution….

you can play around with this here I'm sure there's bugs. I slapped it together as a PoC and will rewrite it later. I think it will end up as 150 LoC. part of the folk canvas project with @chrisshank23 which you can find here

this protocol is now just 80 lines of code.
A tiny protocol to stream data over QR codes in both directions at once. Each device confirms receipt of the previous chunk, so it handles interruptions smoothly. Made this for webRTC signalling and other things as part of the Folk Canvas project with @chrisshank23

Here’s a multimodal protocol that uses QR codes to stream data and audio to “backchannel” acknowledgement of received chunks. About 1-2KB/s. Multimodality helps when there’s an asymmetry, like here where you need to aim the phone camera.
