Great! One thing I do is have an RSS feed from a reddit search query so I can lurk random discussions that mention "zeromq". I'll then see if there is something I can do to encourage or contribute to whatever is happening.

Unfortunately, those are largely words of a foregone era. The zeromq "community" today is tenuous. It has some really good people in it, the few that remain active, but the human-level processes and communication channels are il

No. The first rotation is along an axis in the direction in which your fingers point. The second rotation is along an axis normal to your palm.

Assuming this is not a scam, my guess is that it emits sound above the Nyquist frequency of mic'ed devices with the hope that they lack a low-pass filter on the input of their ADC. Such devices would then suffer sample aliasing that w

A blanket follow-up "are you sure this is the best way to do it?" Frequently returns, "Oh, you are absolutely correct, let me redo this part better."

The "AI mode" in Google search is pretty bad for programming. It is not Gemini. I don't have direct experience with ChatGPT but those that do that I've talked to place it behind Gemini and Claude models. Try free Claude

What LLM are you using? What you describe should be no problem for gemini free or claude haiku and above. Other models, I dunno.

It depends. Google's AI that gloms on to search is not particularly good for programming. I don't use any OpenAI stuff but talking to those that do, their models are not good for programming compared to equivalent ones from Anthro

Yours matches my own experience and work habits. My mental model is that LLMs are obedient but lazy. The laziness shows in the output matching the letter of the prompt but with as high "code entropy" as possible. What I mean by &

Sounds good. Thanks for describing it. Since you still have C++ involved and if you are still looking for composable dataflow ideas, take a look at TBB's "flow_graph" module. It's graph execution is all in-process whil

Data flow graphs could arguably be called structured concurrency (granted, of nodes that resemble actors). FWIW, this has become a perfectly cromulent pattern over the decades. It allows highly concurrent computation limited only by the siz

Pedantically, this game is at least 2D due to including time. It presents more dimensions if we consider the different LED colors. I'm now trying to contemplate what a truly 1D pong game would be. We can't escape time so we woul

L1 (abs linear difference) is useful as minimizing on it gives an approximation of minimizing on L0 (count, aka maximizing sparsity). The reason for the substitution is that L1 has a gradient and so minimization can be fast with convention

The article is about comments. But, more generally, I think the issue here is about naming things. Names capture ideas. Only if we name something can we (or at least I) reason about it. The more clear and descriptive a name for something

Yes, I got lost in the numbers and made a blunder by misinterpreting what we mean by frequency resolution expressed in "BPM" instead of Hz. It is correct to say "0.0046237213 Hz which is 0.27742328 BPM". My mistake was

by frumiousirc 9mo ago
I was also wondering about the inherent resolution for the BPM precision claims. Besides the sample period, the total number of samples matter for frequency resolution (aka BPM precision). 44100 Hz sampling frequency (22.675737 us period) f
