What was cringe about Oppenheimer? I bought the movie in order to watch it but felt disappointed, and have only seen it once.
This was the original explainer that got me interested in this stuff!
At first I was frustrated by this comment, having a fair amount of Lisp experience failing to grok the examples. In less than one minute I was able to locate, download and install the latest Racket and was in a REPL.…
There are books that I read every decade or so, and there is always new insight. Sometimes I will identify with an older character and see the entire story through their eyes. Often times an interesting novel will…
Huh, I always wondered what that was for...
This was a lot of fun to explore. I find that naturally I want to click through the animations and observe them for a while before delving into the steps and reading the blurb. It's a bit like skimming around a…
Love this reaction. Even if these are contrived examples this is one of those things that could become completely ubiquitous as a cheap solution to problems that only seem obvious in hindsight. Either that or we'll…
I wonder if it was de-indexed from HN for this reason. 30 minutes ago it was on the front-page, now I can't find it listed in the top 200.
This would make for a good topic on a short-form pop-science YouTube channel. (take your pick) The article is interesting but it's difficult for me to really picture the implications of the article. Actually after…
I feel this inner conflict of yours could be resolved by posting to Reddit and asking for anecdotes.
Those are really cool to look at. I kept trying to click them to learn more, I wish some of them were mini blog posts to give a little bit of grounding.
Yours. I can't explain your frustration then, or why the author's intent escaped you. If you use Firefox there's a little reader-mode icon in the address bar you may find convenient.
It sent me back in time, very nostalgic. I even took a few minutes to sit and enjoy the moment and remember what it was like to explore the internet on a pixelated CRT in the 90s. I suspect it's a generational gap.
What a fascinating project. It looks a real labor of love, and I wish I understood it more deeply. I've been making my own visualization sandboxes like this to explore configuration spaces and groups - but for much…
I can't go into detail, but that's essentially my use case. I have a geodesic dome with a cable running up externally, and would like to run it through a hollow shaft coming in through the top which rotates like a…
Loved the article, and also the shoutout to Strang's lectures. I agree with the order, the Gaussian should come later I almost closed the article - glad I kept scrolling out of curiosity. Also I felt like I had been…
I love this idea. I remember giving a live demonstration of a configuration management tool (SaltStack circa 2012) and some unknown networking conflict between my Virtual Machines and the local wifi subnet caused my…
I've been curious about knitting & crochet from a programming / robotics / simulation perspective for a while, but deferred it to cut my teeth on simpler problems. Those industrial robots seems to be knitting, not…
I first saw this effect in a video from Branta Games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg3RAI8uyVw The effect is disrupted by introducing rendering artifacts, by watching the video in 144p or in this case by zooming out.…
My bank's mobile app no longer supports my 2017 Android phone. I thought it would be a big deal but honestly I forgot about it until you mentioned this, it's been 6-12 months.
Is the new model significantly more efficient or something? Maybe using distillation? I haven't looked into it, I just heard the price is low. Personally I use/prefer 4o over 4.5 so I don't have high hopes for v5.
It's a lot to ask of two experts to also be excellent communicators for an audience that may struggle to follow along. I wonder if a potential application of LLMS could be: have two experts have a really interesting but…
Thank you for the video, that was really interesting. I had no idea that brown was orange, and that makes me wonder how those darker colors are perceived by people with many more categories of colors in their minds. If…
TIL people still play UT2004. I was going to mention how much I loved that game, until I realized I played UT99. Time sure does fly...
It's worth noting if the board is full this doesn't happen. This was helpful in my strategy because I could set up several pathways like I was playing checkers without fear of losing anything.
