Self plug: I made Jupyter notebooks for each chapter of this and the DFT and Physical Modeling books in this series, with Python animations/audio for some key concepts: https://karlhiner.com/jupyter_notebooks/mathe

I thought it was epic, gorgeous, fun, and made total sense for the product! There are other pianos in the world. Like, a _lot_ of pianos in the world. It only stands to reason a few will get crushed in a massive hydraulic press for a fun ad

Throwing in my vote - I wasn’t confused, saw your GH link and a “Zero to Hero” course name on RL, seems clear to me and “Zero to Hero” is a classic title for a first course, nice that you gave props to Andrea too! Multiple people can and sh

EDIT: As a couple observant folks pointed out, the original MediaFire link actually still works, so WB machine saved the day by making it possible to find the link, but the jar was also still hosted on the today-internet :)

Someone else pointed this out as well - I didn't realize the original MediaFire link still worked. Updated to reflect.

Good catch! I didn’t realize the original link still worked. Also didn’t know about the “why” notes on WB index. Thanks!

One of the first programs I ever wrote - a program to find valid English crossword fills given a grid pattern with optional partial completions. This project came to mind recently and I looked around on the Wayback Machine. Turns out I post

I think by “old fashioned” op means they are old technologies, not that they are obsolete.

It’s been so fun watching Bun progressing as quickly as it has! Truly incredible work, and the blog post is full of real value and time saved for future me from beginning to end - huge congrats on the 1.0.0 release, excited to see where bun

I can think of a few directions for technology aiding in fact checking: 1. Much of finding out what’s true or false is about finding consistency amongst lots of observations. So this is the science direction. If you can analyze lots of dat

That is true, 3 would help steel my strawman. I agree that we’ll increasingly have capabilities to generate and publish garbage that’s _just_ good enough to generate clicks, and incentives to do this. In addition, I think we’ll increasingly

The test use case of constructing a bio for yourself, hoping it accurately summarizes all the extremely low sample size data it happens to have of you in its web crawled training data, seems like one of the worst possible use cases for Chat

Throwing a shameless plug in here for a set of Jupiter notebooks I made that follow each chapter of this book: https://karlhiner.com/jupyter_notebooks/mathematics_of_the_d... Reproduces many of the interesting results

Judges overwhelmingly side with police officers over defendants as a default stance. Adding laws restricting civilian rights and protecting police officers can only skew that stance further away from neutrality and towards the favor of poli

Ah I see. I was on mobile and didn't get the left/right swooshing, but do on desktop. I also find the left/right swooshing from the outside pretty clunky and unnecessary. But the content is really nice, and I personally appre

Couldn’t agree more. I often read some top comments even before checking an article just to get a quick read on whether something is likely e.g. clickbaity. Reading the comments it seemed like there was some consensus that this was a page w

I had so much fun with this. I actually like that it uses the mean rather than some clustered mode in a lot of the cases I tried out. For example, “space” is pleasantly brighter than the dark black/blue hue that would come from that ap

Wow this looks incredible! I’ve been looking for a C++ plotting library suitable for real-time audio visualization but with a matplotlib-like api. This looks to fit the bill perfectly, and with great documentation. Well done, following.

I used to work for a company that transferred a huge amount of money from tenants to landlords. Fraud is a really big deal in that domain, and we were really excited to update our credit card entry forms to use the newer Stripe Elements for
