I only have a vague understanding. The technique used to manufacture integrated circuits is called photolithography. Basically, these circuits need such tiny features etched into them that we can’t do it through traditional means. Instead, we draw a picture of the circuit we want, hundreds of times larger, shine a light through it, and use lenses to shrink the pattern down to size. This big pattern is called a “mask”.
So what’s the deal with the demonic sigils above? As we make our circuits smaller, the physics gets stranger. For instance, there’s this effect called quantum tunneling where electrons just teleport to a part of the circuit we would not expect based on classical physics. Due to these kinds of effects, we have to do crazy things to the masks if we want the circuit to behave correctly.
Disclaimer: I am not an electrical engineer and I have no idea what I’m talking about.

The nanometer-scale sigils are getting increasingly elaborate, presumably because the tinier demons are better at escaping.
Case in point, check out the “increasing need for mask correction” image in this article: …ieee.org/…/inverse-lithography-2659629907

If the earth stopped rotating, days would be about 365x longer.
I wanted to figure out a more exact answer, but I’m hung up on the fact that the length of a day is influenced by rotation and revolution together.
I have a feeling this requires calculus. If Sir Isaac Newton were here, I think he’d know what to do.

That’s neat, I’d never heard of it before!
It is an open question whether an Angel of some power k can escape forever.
Looks like you’re quoting the Proceedings of 11th Annual International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics from 2005: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.5555/2958119.2958180
Apparently, it was solved (twice!) the next year.
In late 2006, the original problem was solved when independent proofs appeared, showing that an angel can win. Bowditch proved that a 4-angel (that is, an angel with power k = 4) can win[2] and Máthé[3] and Kloster[4] gave proofs that a 2-angel can win.

Not to pile on here, but this is not an instance of the birthday problem.
The birthday problem would kick in if we asked “what are the chances that any two of these N people know the same place, whatever it may be.”
But instead we’re discussing “what are the chances that one of these N people recognizes a specific place P.”

The classical options are that the world will end in the future, is currently ending, or ended in the past. Today, I’m here to tell you that there is another option: the world never even existed. Poof!

No expertise here, but I wonder if neurons are more excitable on LSD. If every cell in your retina and optic nerve is trigger happy, you’d see more in the dark. More noise, too, I suppose.
