I very recently inherited a guitar-harp. One thing I love about it is that it is so straight forward to play - unlike guitar (where you have to press frets), a guitar harp is laid out like a piano (left to go lower frequency and right to go

I like to consume content in a breadth-first way. Title -> Summary -> Maybe read it.

I've had this hypothesis that human bodies are kind of like cruise ships built by microbes. The larger body is not necessarily the one in control (like in the cruise ship metaphor). Maybe at some point, the vessel being built gains som

I've still got my 12 mini. Just got a new battery replacement too. Back in my day, phones were cooler if they were smaller.

This seems like a great idea. Tools like video editors (and CAD) often impose a big learning curve - there is a big differential between "I want to do X" and actually knowing all the right buttons to press to do X. Good luck.

Very cool idea. I think single-file HTML web apps are the most durable form of computer software. A few examples of Single-File Web Apps that I wrote are: https://fuzzygraph.com and https://hypervault.github.io/

My biggest AI win so far was using ChatGPT as a transpiler to convert from vanilla JS code to GLSL. It took 7 prompts and about 1.5 hours, but without the AI, I would have been thrilled to have completed the project in a week.

It's interesting to consider that the same phenomenon may also hold true for humanity's psychological software.

I feel like the natural test to do is: do experiments, and see if different people see the same little people doing the same things. That would move the observations from subjective to objective perspective.

I just recently intentionally made the decision to keep the equation input in FuzzyGraph ( https://fuzzygraph.com ) plain text (instead of something like stylized latex like Desmos has) in order to make it easy to copy and paste e

Slight correction: I'd only refer to it as a "Single-File Web App" if it has no external dependencies (where as the "HTML Tool" definition allows for external dependencies loaded from CDNs).

I have consistently had good results when I understand the problem and outsource the details to AI, but bad results when I try to have it work without me understanding the problem.

I recently had ChatGPT refactor an entire mathematical graph rendering logic that I wrote in vanilla js, and had it rewrite it as GLSL. It took about an hour overall (required a few prompts). That is world-class level in my opinion.

This was my first exposure to the Fourier transfer. I also highly recommend this book. It was recommended to me by the head of the math department at university.
