Sure, but isn't that called trolling? Shouldn't trolls be blocked by default?

Moving pointers mean most people (including me) will never read the actual content, so we might as well discuss why someone would choose to alienate their potential audience in this manner.

This is insanely annoying. It seems the site is infested with bugs.

MIDI velocity does change with collision momentum. But with webaudio I wasn't able to make it sound convincing so I disabled it.

You meant https://poly.ozieblowski.dev/ ? (generatorpoly.ozieblowski.dev doesn't work). It's neat. Web MIDI clock is still a mess AFAIK, so MIDI sync in the browser seems far away. This tool doesn't really ha

Yin mode lets ball change state when they collide (from moving to playing and vice versa); and the chords button (not the most obvious design, true ;-) let bigger balls trigger triads instead of single notes.

Glicol is absolutely amazing!!

Thanks! The code is not obfuscated or minified in any way, so it's easy enough to read. But I'm not sure it deserves to be actually published... ;-)

You sort of can, if you select a non-red ball, move it around, and then and change its state to moving ('ball state' in the config panel).

Sorry to hear that. I use Firefox on a fairly old Android device from 2017, and it's acceptable? Maybe the device you're using is very busy? It'd be hard to trigger the sound before the collision (although possible, in theory

Wow. Really close concept indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I knew about Droplets -- it's is really well executed, but maybe a little too predictable for my taste. Didn't know about Ricochet (not a Bitwig user), but it's very impressive! Also, you're the creator of protoplu

I'm looking at nih-plug which is an audio plugin framework in Rust. I'm a Rust complete and utter noob, but this looks fun and a great way to learn (I'd rather not dive into the likes of Juce). So I guess we'll see!

Oh yes I love vcvrack (and Cardinal); but this is JavaScript, and for all I know vcvrack modules are C++? But sure it would make for a cool module.

I would need to test it more. The accelerometer generates lots of events that would end up changing gravity constantly (when held up); maybe with a low-pass filter so that gravity changes more slowly it would work.

The paradox is that the amount of data available for LLM training is going down, not up, because earlier models made ample use of copyrighted works that later models won't have access to.

This is really great. It certainly could become a product. I'm sure plenty of rich, lonely people would love to have a foosball-playing robot. In fact who wouldn't?? Also, this whole thing sounds like a competitor to Stuff Made He

I disabled JS with uBlock Origin and the site became usable again. What a bizarre idea to have this animation running by default.

I'm not sure there's so much agency in any of this. Most of it is probably cargo-culting. Every software shop wants to be Google, so they do what Google does (or what they think Google is doing). It doesn't matter if they do

The fridge image idea is so cool!! Love that. Could the cold become a problem though? It would be so funny to have such a device with wifi enabled, to live-blog trips to the fridge. But then the battery would become an issue of course. Inst

Well, yes. It's unclear from the website what Photon Transfer does exactly, but from the screenshots it seems it's almost a Lightroom-lite? A super basic utility that would simply extract the data from the device and spit out DNG

It seems it's the filesystem that's most costly? Would it be possible, maybe, to store DNG file data, one after the other, on the card, without a filesystem?

Ok, so an app is needed to get the data from the device to a computer, and you wanted to focus your efforts on a "polished" Mac app. But why not make a non-polished Windows app as well? Or have someone make it? Also, is the RAW da
