Apart from the ill-fated bicycle adventure, I spent the entire weekend sitting in my apartment scribbling equations and writing code. I’ve been bothering the developers of CELT to tell me everything they know, and one of things I learned about is Pyramid Vector Quantization. I now know far more than I ever expected to about rhombic dodecahedrons, rhombicuboctahedrons, and their arbitrary-dimensional cousins like the 24-cell.
I have had one of my best ideas ever. It involves an octagon.
I just finally got canonical PVQ encode and decode working, which was very satisfying. It was a fun weekend.
At some point, I may have to give up on this idea that I am a normal person.
