Assumptions

Answering a yes/no question with "I don't want to talk about it" lets you see what people assume given no information. From a tiny quantity of data, it looks like they're not good at guessing correctly, nor do they seem to be consistent in choosing "yes" or "no":

• "Did you get into MIT?": people assume "no"
• "Did you two kiss?": people assume "yes"
• "Did you get a 2400 on the SAT?": people assume "yes"

I don't have an explanation for why people guess this way. Do you?

Also, a progress report on my summer activities:

• ARML: Yep. I hope I can do it again next year and be a little more useful.
• "Stella Nova": The string parts are coming along quickly, now that I can focus on it a little more. Also, woodwind parts (nowhere near done) are hard to write.
• Math: Is happening but not giving me much to say.
• Fluffies: You'll see it if/when I finish. :P
• ESP and Melon Island: No progress yet.
• OpenGL: I can draw stuff! Now I just need a model format, preferably a well-specified standard that supports skeletal animation. Meanwhile the flakiness of ATI's Linux drivers has been making me sad.
