I'm surprised there doesn't exist a more responsive/reactive PDF viewer. It seems like that would be easier than converting the document.

also maybe the title could have [LOUD!!!] or something like that. I didn't realize my system could make a noise that loud with vol at 50%.

I would also plug Chomksy's New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind for anyone interested in this sort of thing. also relevant: https://xkcd.com/435 - if it went further to the right Mathematics is just applied

TIL, thanks! unfortunately I think I see where they're going with it: “I believe that if phosphorus nuclear spin is not being used for quantum processing, then quantum mechanics is not operative in longtime scales in cognition,” Fisher

Yes, total hogwash. How could their model simulate the quantum effects taking place in the microtubules of the neurons?

for myself I learned these techniques and corresponding slang as a kid following gamedev/demoscene tutorials and books like graphics gems, years before my mathematics education caught up. calculus was 3rd year high school (age 17ish) I

these old tricks are still pretty effective especially if the table small enough to be cached on the cpu.. then there are even more tricks to keep the table small by chunking it and lerping between entries. ah memories!

"just scramble the address" was the solution that immediately came to mind. feistelNet looks a little heavy though, is it really necessary? would you not get the same effect from straight xor on the x and y coords?

there's a big difference between a tv commercial and a banner ad. one completely hijacks your attention for some period and the other is more like a billboard or poster - if you're not interested you don't have to pay attenti

you're doing it right. what's needed is tooling that allows other publishers to do this for basic ads.

cool startup! do you do anything about the infrastructure though? I mean a regular old banner image is OK, but the same image delivered via the series of scripts all tracking, sniffing, and profiling with all the cookie stuffing and who kno

this is the real shame. people don't block ads because they can't stand the site of them. it's because the whole ad infrastructure is so janky that it makes the browsing experience glitchy and unstable. nobody wants cookie st

there's a tiny book called Godel's Proof that is both short and easy to read. I picked it up in my quest to read everything Hofstadter (he wrote the foreword) and thought it made it pretty straight forward. any axiomatic system th
