discontinuity.net is home to Davin Potts who has, at times, been associated with projects involving theoretical chemistry, distributed computing, numerical methods, high performance massively parallel computing, mathematical physics, number theory, and other forms of torture for really big computers. Not limited to these subjects, any and all content Davin finds vaguely interesting is game here.

Random daily discontinuity quote:

...the multi-flash can detect shapes that an ordinary camera would not be able to replicate. For instance, a white shape on a white background would appear as a white plane if processed by a camera, or even the human eye. Multi-flash is able to detect depth discontinuities, through its four positions of flash, producing a line image of the white shape.
