I've released a couple new versions of Frink with some additional support for intervals, along with some various improvements and major internal rewriting. ...
I was just watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, the episode "Silicon Avatar," where our old friend the Crystalline Entity attacks a planet, as he is wont...
Alan, I strongly discourage halting the program due to overlapping intervals. Yes, it is kind of hard to linearize this relationship (ok, we do not exactly ...
... Interestingly, this mail took about 20 hours to get from your machine to mine! Looks like there was one of those huge delays internally to Yahoo again. As...
... Just a point of clarification--the sentence above is potentially ambiguous too. :) Are you saying that: a.) You would rather have the < relation yield...
... Well, there is no hole. The order is partial, that is all. ... I am promoting Prof. Moore's definition, i.e., (1). ... Yes, that is the partial nature. The...
hey, Just a request.. but could people post regular email rather than htmlified email? I'm not sure if this is an option via a yahoogroup; but it sure would...

... Yes, I should have replaced "and" with "So we should". ... (a), which I thought was obvious, if nothing else, from the rest of my e-mail. ... Yes, but that...
I wanted to find out how fast those satelites zip around the earth and was a little dissapointed that there is no variable for the geostationary orbit ...
... I always end up re-deriving that from a = v^2/r and f = G m1 m2 / r^2 because I never remember the equation for orbital period. The long-term goal is to...
... It might make sense to do just that for all uncertain numbers. Even the near distance and far distance have their own uncertainties. I would probably do...
Here's a rather amazing example of how intervals can be harnessed to tackle tough practical problems. I've just slapped together a remarkably simple...
That is pretty impressive. Technically, it's what a graph is - a locus of all positions - but no other graphing thing i know does it that straightforwardly....
... I always seem to be the one making more work for you... ... Rather than targetting pixels, is there any way you could target something like postscript?...
... I'd certainly like to implement Frink's graphic libraries as rendering lines, rectangles, and curves instead of pixels. That way it's directly scalable,...
I've no idea if this would work, but i'm going to try thinking on paper about how to make a curved graph from a set of interval-calculated pixels. Each pixel,...
I asked a physicist friend if he had anything to add to this discussion. His interesting, but deeply unhelpful answer to the question of [2, 4] < [3, 5]...
... This answer reminds me strongly of Richard Feynman's description of his mental fitness test for the army. As recounted in his excellent book, "Surely...
... [snip] ... I think he (the physicist friend of Marcus') switched momentarily to integral mode, where he felt that the first interval had three integers,...
... no no, nothing like that. i stayed in intervals the whole time. a = [2, 4] b = [3, 5] P(a = [2, 3]) = 0.5 // automatically true P(a = [3, 4]) = 0.5 //...
... I was just trying to be creative, and cute, in my psychothesis. Not to worry, you are absolutely right in that the left interval and right interval lie in...
... That makes me feel better. Especially since, when i first did them, it was in rather more of a hurry and rather less explicitly stated than the version...
... I've been known to rant about Penrose quite a bit--mostly his crackpot pet theory that quantum gravity is responsible for cognition in the human brain. ......
... What do you mean? It is obvious: 1. We do not know anything about quantum gravity. 2. We do not know anything about the origin of cognition. Alas, they...
... I've done some finger-math, and i reckon that for a decent 0.01 pixel accuracy - suitable for a printer, overkill for antialiasing - it'll be about 20...
As some of you may know, one of the original things that inspired me to create frink was one of those endlessly forwarded e-mails of interesting but dubious...
