You’ve probably seen this design before, but do you know its ANCIENT origins? #TEDTalk #History
What can we make of a design that shows up over and over in disparate cultures throughout history? Theorist Terry Moore explores “Penrose tiling” — two shapes that fit together in infinite combinations without ever repeating — and ponders what it might mean. Watch his full talk here:

Unboxing the $149 AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case
Apple announced the new AirPods 5 base model will remain at $129, but the step-up $149 model with a wireless charging case and Find My speaker might be more your style. Both will have active noise cancellation (ANC), which is an upgrade from the AirPods 4. Let’s unbox them with CNET executive editor David Carnoy.…

Robotics Won’t Have a “ChatGPT Moment”
Mbodi co-founder Xavier Chi says there’s a fundamental difference between the two technologies: robotics doesn’t have an internet of data to learn from. Instead, he expects the robotics revolution to happen one real-world deployment at a time. Watch the full episode:

The geometries Penrose worked on are more complicated than those of the ancients, for the record. Kepler stumbled on several as well.

If it’s existed for thousands of years why is it called penrose tiling. Another attempt by the west to discount the contributions of POC.

I’ve accidentally made some of these while doodling in middle school without knowing what they were called. They’re fun. They appeal to a desire for something complex yet organized. I’m not sure that it requires shared cultural context to enjoy those qualities.

Why illustrate the vid with stuff that isn’t penrose tilings? Like the floor tiles under the white chairs, that’s clearly a repeating, regular tiling pattern, not a penrose tiling.

The idea that somehow these acutely mathematical phenomena are somehow instinctively derived is untenable against what we already know of the history of math and geometry, the human delight and reassurance in repeating patterns etc. when Penrose shows a pattern which rarely, if ever repeats.

If that pattern is life, then why isn’t a circle life? Or a nesting of Venn diagrams? “It’s life”… okay. So is a smile, good food, brutality… yeesh.

I’m guessing you’re trying to make an ancient vs modern point, but the phrasing “even the Middle East” bugs me. As the “cradle of civilization” why wouldn’t we expect to see the patterns there? The Middle East is pretty well known for these patterns, and you even listed Egypt first.

Not to be that guy, but the 1970s might be a bit late for discovered.
