If the OP is here, I found the cup on their site. It lets me put it in my cart<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.wolfram.com&#x2F;view&#x2F;misc&#x2F;index.str#heart-spikey-mug" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.wolfram.com&#x2F;view&#x2F;misc&#x2F;index.str#heart-spikey-mu...</a>

I&#x27;m always amazed by how expressive Mathematica is. Writing some of these expressions imperatively would be significantly more than one line.

Those are really neat. I did say &quot;of course&quot; sarcastically out loud when I got to the King.

They should provide a QR code on each card that sends you to the Wolfram site with the expression being executed, that way when you are waiting your turn on Hold-em you can watch the animation from your phone<p>(it must have been a pain to hand type those expressions...great job!)

Price: £4 — great! Shipping: £12 — nope!

Indeed, of all the tech company swag I&#x27;ve seen and collected, from a pure nerdiness metric, I&#x27;d wager Wolfram&#x27;s remains one of the coolest by far.

The code for these is really short and elegant! Keep in mind when you want to make some graphics that aren&#x27;t owned by the &quot;king&quot;, the much more powerful (though some boilerplate is required) open source libraries like p5.js and three.js are capable of rendering these real-time in the browser!

How plausible are animated versions of these in real life? What&#x27;s the thinnest we can make a display+processor combo that can be powered by, say, the heat from my hands?

This reminds me of pixel spirit: a tarot cards deck with beautiful pictures made from shaders.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;patriciogonzalezvivo&#x2F;PixelSpiritDeck&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;README.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;patriciogonzalezvivo&#x2F;PixelSpiritDeck&#x2F;blob...</a>

The seven of clubs actually vaguely frightened me. What an appetite.

Cool cards. What&#x27;s not cool is $50 shipping on $5 cards. To Canada...
