I think you're underestimating how subtle and ubiquitous modern autotuning is. The video here is an extreme example of a very broad category of effects. In reality, almost every professional recording you hear uses autotune in the same

Think "probably" vs "provably" (it's about pronunciation/spelling)

The Deluge does have a built-in rechargable battery and basic sample slicing. The new 4.0 firmware added wavetable synthesis, euclidean sequencing, MPE/polyphonic aftertouch, and tons of other stuff. Their venn diagrams overlap a lot b

I was asked this one in a google phone interview in ~2009. I remember deriving that intervals of 10 floors were optimal in the two-egg 100-story case using some simple calculus and getting that far took me most of the hour. Your solution is

"Accepting" in the context of mindfulness doesn't imply being passive. That's a common misconception. It's often said that passivity is the "near enemy" of acceptance, meaning one is easily mistaken for th

If such a program ever terminates, then the result is rational. If it doesn't terminate, then pausing at any point will always describe an infinite number of irrationals.

Just like with chess, when AI engines got very strong a few years ago, people started using them to find superhuman moves and win games. Now OGS will tell you how similar your game's moves are to what a computer would have played. Even

KGS is still huge, but OGS has been consistently adding feature after feature for years. At some point, my impression is that most English people just realized it has a nicer interface and better analysis and cheat-detecting tools. The main

Sort of. OGS is the Lichess of the English-speaking world certainly. There are several much larger servers if you speak Korean/Japanese/Chinese, but they also have less in common with Lichess.

I think there's two parts to this: first, if you know your input meets certain constraints, then there's no benefit to over-complicating the solution. Second, this is a teaching tool. It makes sense to start simply and save the ha

Evolution better get to work fast. We only have around 500 million years until the sun's increasing luminosity leaves Earth uninhabitable.

We can't really talk about what multiplication "is" or "isn't" independently of context. It's an operation on two objects and the context its used in is necessary for defining the operation. Though it can

"Injecting code," is not the way I'd describe making changes to a product that it's your job to maintain.

I agree that it's difficult to get to the core practical side of these things. Buddhism and related religions/philosophies have had a lock on meditation for so long that it can be hard to disentangle the real stuff from the stuff

In many things related to mindfulness, breathing, yoga, and meditation, we in western culture have a bad habit recognizing the value of a very small part of a larger practice and then writing off the rest as spiritual mumbo-jumbo. For examp

Don't confuse the terrain with the map. The formal systems which underly mathematics describing the universe are incomplete (containing true but unprovable statements), but that is not a statement about the universe.

Elm has a Debug.log function which takes a string and any value, prints "String: value" in the console, and then returns the value.

This is a great article. One thing I don't understand: the author says: > If you want to create something heavy like the Higgs boson, you have to hit the > Higgs field with a sufficiently large (and sufficiently concentrated) b
