The JS part is nowhere to be seen, I guess they used the assistant to create the layout, but not the actual DOOM integration part (?) Even then, that chat gets pretty painful to read after a while... Paraphrasing, but that's the gist o

I don't know about lobsters, but every time I see an opinion posted on HN, it seems to get immediately followed by a contrary opinion. I've also changed the settings so the website no longer appears orange, but I'm probably s

I guess you alreay know this, but for reference this is caused by earthlight (light diffused and reflected by the earth): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthlight_(astronomy) Sometimes it's clearly visible, but of

Hah! If you want to step into a Hiroshi Nagai painting as a 3D world, that's basically what happens in my Ambient Garden project. In fact I was surprised that nobody ever pointed it out despite all the visitors: https://ambi

Ignoring the "atomic mechanics" and "spacetime travel" parts, what you're describing is roughly what might be seen by an external observer, far from the black hole. From the ship's point of view, passing the ev

I love the concept. I was left wanting more because larger puzzles are apparently not more difficult, they just seem to have a lot of solutions. But can we make them more difficult? Just in case anyone else wants more of a challenge... I ha

Cool concept and it seems weirdly effective. It would certainly help us lazy people to have the web version hosted somewhere, I'm assuming it could be a static site, since the meat of it is in WASM, right? Would this be amenable to &qu

Interesting, how does that add a round trip? For the record here's what I believe to be the common definition of an additional "round trip", in a web development context: - client requests X - client gets X, which conta

Funny to see more praise for the technical/artistic details of the Severance intro. I recently came across another domain specialist geeking over it, but on a completely different aspect: harmony. https://alpof.wordpress.c

Nice, I've used an editor plugin for this before, but I like that this isn't tied to any specific editor. Actually Hugo also does this, though again that's tied to a framework: https://gohugo.io/getting-starte

Easily the most approachable yet complete writeup I've seen on the topic. I've always noticed an aura of esoteric dark magic around writing good algorithmic reverbs, this makes it seems less daunting. Since the author does a quick

You're right, I immediately assumed some annoying DRM, but after looking it up, it does seem more like a bug. I couldn't find any clear explanation for why it happens though.

The conference paper (which is very well written and approachable) suggests that the precision of instruments was insufficient to establish this as of 20-ish years ago. See the section "First Experimentations": https://

Thanks for bringing in your understanding of historical tunings. Maybe a simpler correction would be to describe the example as "a Pythagorean tuning" rather than "THE Pythagorean tuning", which would be (according to so

The choice of instrument is not entirely innocent. Harpsichords are rich in harmonics, and those harmonics are almost exactly multiples of the fundamental. This is perfect for revealing natural ratios in chords. Pianos have "bent"

Sure, I also use Firefox but I don't have this error, so that's not really enough detail for me to look into it.

Thanks for posting this. The approach of keeping the traditional 12 notes while changing the tuning on-the-fly is really interesting and maybe the right tradeoff. This is so spot-on because adaptive JI is mentioned as a possible solution at

I'm now realizing this and I totally agree that hiding the octave transpositions might make things confusing. Maybe this could be clarified by having a first lattice where this adjustment is not made, and everyone can observe how frequ

I'd love to get some feedback on this, because I'm not sure I've hit the original goal of this article. For a long time, the topics of just intonation, harmonic lattices, and of their relationship with temperaments were diffi

Since this is stackless, does it support checkpointing and resuming the execution state? This is sometimes a reason for making execution stackless, but I guess the JIT might make this more difficult. I can't find any mention of this in

This genre of musical sandbox is a really satisfying and fun rabbit hole. You can even take it to production (mainly ambient music production, that is). My favorite for usage inside DAWs is Droplets, which works as a plugin but also has a w

It's not marketing. They're just upfront about limitations (software is single-platform) while trying to present it positively (it will feel native on that platform). The entire page seems to make a point of being upfront about li

I love when machine learning is used to create genuinely new things* instead of trying to imitate human processes. Both "alien" and "human-like" directions are related, but the human-like results aren't as mind-blow
