OK, presets are enabled. I'm not sure how to do 'share' other than just having people copy the link. The presets are stored in the 'localStorage' in case people want to save them on their individual browser. The lis

I'm highly suspicious of this paper. The ideas aren't really presented very clearly, so it's really hard to understand what the "trick" is. If you believe QM is true then you flat out cannot have a local hidden vari

This is great work. I'd love to see a blog post detailing some of the optimizations you did to speed this up. Presumably you octree/voxel segmentation to re-use already summed regions of the CA? I'd also love to see some 3D M

Yeah, very nice. This gets something right that so many other generative music experiments get wrong, which is variation in note length (aka tempo). You see other generative music use Markov Chain for note choice but not note length and it

Show me a water jet cutter that's priced at the hobbyist level (and isn't a full time job to upkeep) and I'm there.

Laser cutting is straight out for the hobbyist, because of the chlorine, as you correctly point out. I think the way to do this is either with a CNC or with some die punch solution. Doing a single cutout of PVC with a CNC would be fine, but

In my opinion, it's a question of what you want to optimize for, speed of execution/accessibility/responsiveness or speed of software development. The modern web is a stack of abstractions that separates the code in what the

I would encourage people to read the article. VM Brasseur has a click-baity title, which is fine, but the point they are making is actually a bit more subtle. I'll quote from the article: > There is a great number of potential busin

LLL is effectively a polynomial time algorithm, though the exponent is large (it's like O(n^5) or O(n^6), also depending on bit length, etc.), so it might fall into the 'galactic algorithm' [0] territory. The runtime depends
