Some interesting stuff at this channel: youtube.com/c/CrossLabs (@okw) including yesterday's panel session @_fernando_rosas @clemvidal @hectorzenil led by Alyssa Adams (cur10.us) "After Babel: Talking to Aliens & the Mathematics of Communication"…

Weird thread on logic gates: We all know and love the XOR gate. Synergy! But here's a weird link to the AND gate. Let's create a "meta gate" that describes whether we can compute the correct answer for the XOR gate given the inputs... 1/N
I have no doubt this will be very worthwhile:
