Uh sorry, not sure why I deleted that. (Guess I felt this might turn into a warzone and decided to avoid feeding it.)

Fear not. First of all, occasional contributors are perfectly compatible with LuaJIT. Take a look at the Git log. Many of the commits are bugfixes that don't impact the overall "perfection". It's not a crystalline struct

This article points out problems with unbalanced vegetarian and vegan diets. A balanced one is not that hard to achieve, there are many good resources that give you examples of such varied diets. If well done, supplements are unnecessary

So in countries where nutritionally varied food is not widely available, people are so reliant on cereal sources that they become afflicted by deficits in many nutrients. Doesn't have any easy solution. But the paper also raises multip

Submitting this twice simultaneously may be causing more confusion than anything. I didn't see this one at first and only commented the other one (which seems to be magically higher on the front page): https://news.ycombinat

Well, this field is really exploding right now! I was curious about the performance and searched around a bit: in another other post, the author gives a slightly more detailed explanation of how the tunes are automatically turned into audio

No. First of all, this modification brings a significant handicap to the organism (it's wasting its resources), so it can't spread in nature. And even without any competition from wildtype yeast, it's likely to get rid of the

I don't think the conversation is misguided. The meaning of a word varies with context, and this neural network was not trained on, say, Hindustani classical or twelve-tone music. The vagueness of "classical music" can be ann

I think that the doctrine "do, and understand" applies particularly well to classical music theory and composition, though I'm very biased in that regard. My post above mostly concerns the "theory of harmony", and m

I'm pretty sure David Cope has passed that point already with his algorithmic techniques. However, the kind of formal double-blind that you suggest would be difficult to put together in a way that everyone agrees upon unanimously. It&#

As a student of classical I'd like to point out what I believe to be the main in-humanness in the generated music that makes it stray from "real" classical. Some have cried violation of counterpoint, but I don't think th

I think what iso8859 is trying to say is that a geostationary orbit is very far, so it's still a narrow angle, as illustrated here: http://stream2.cma.gov.cn/pub/comet/SatelliteMeteorology/GOE... No comp

This is a good initiative because LuaJIT development has been mostly halted since May 2014, when the following note was added to the LuaJIT Open Sponsorships page: "The main LuaJIT author (Mike Pall) is working on unrelated projects a

The level of detail is impressive. What would be even more impressive would be to combine this with something like Geacron [1] to show the correct country borders for each year (instead of showing modern borders), as well as a timeline of m

Amazing that it easily runs on consumer hardware, this dispels suspicions that a Google cluster was necessary for these results. I'm wondering if it's possible to use this with a model that was trained on a database without labels

The second technique that they present here is the generation of true holograms (we have to use "true" nowadays, with all the products falsely marketed as holograms on the market). This technique is equivalent, or arguably superio

The amount of hate in this thread is unbelievable. Why do people nitpick on the author's background, when there are many interesting aspects of the technology to be discussed? OTOH, I don't want to take away from the coolness fact

You're certainly not denying climate change, but maybe you're someone who doesn't care about the impact, as long as humanity survives. And why should we care? There are so many reasons not to care. - We're out of touch w

Very lightweight, the whole thing downloads, compiles and runs almost instantly. After you go in the examples directory and run make, here's a little bash command to run and listen to each example in series while looking at its source:

One problem is that migrating away from phpBB is hard (especially if it's phpBB 3). Anyways, it's not hip but it's not horrible either.
