I found it pretty reasonable. I've implemented both physical modeling and more traditional subtractive synthesis algorithms, and I fully agree with the author that physical modeling takes "more engineering tenacity" to implem

Just to give an example of "the rarefied field of physical modeling": SampleModeling/AudioModeling/SWAM instruments enjoy some popularity, I'd say they were the go-to demo when MPE controllers had a burst in popular

That right there is the city from the original Mirror's Edge (2008). I can tell from having played it a lot. And what a great idea for a music video.

Good, but it doesn't really feature the technique described in the original comment.

That's amazing and I'm now wondering if it influenced the demoscene. In fact I'm specifically thinking of "Intrinsic Gravity" by Still, which has fairly similar concepts going on, especially at the end. It's al

I'm also not convinced. That said, the author is suggesting that large intervals tend to get their power when we identify smaller intervals emerging from the broader composition. For example, when hearing an arpeggio of a chord progres

" because it means they're smarter than the others " That may be part of the reason for conspiracy theories, but I think there's more to it. A lot of people take comfort in the idea that there is some grand order to the

Very serendipitous, I recently made almost the same thing, but for Leo Editor (leoeditor.com) instead of TiddlyWiki. Leo's tree-style organization/UI seems to work perfectly as "second brain" for me, and I've been u

Too bad the article neglects to explain in any convincing way why there is no "I" in LLMs. Are we supposed to already know this? My favorite way of illustrating this absence of self is to consider that in any conversation with an

" The CPU version is released as binary code under the MIT license " This gives off the surreal sci-fi vibe that the binary is the source. And who knows... true wizards work in mysterious ways.

That is not correct. As long as the javascript is run on the client-side, it's a static page. Static simply means the files on the server are sent directly to the client. The client can then do whatever they want with the files. The ex

So I've done a lot of volunteering at a bird refuge (LPO Ile Grande). Birds hit by traffic get something similar to shock and will sometimes recover and fly again just by resting for some time, which can range from seconds to days. Unl

Thanks, your description of the technique is simpler and probably more accurate than what I guessed - no integration required. The author gives a similar hint in the comments.

I've read and re-implemented a lot of stuff by Inigo Quilez. Much of it is ingenious but eventually straightforward once you get the hang of it. I still find this particular snippet magical: https://www.shadertoy.com/vi

Tangential, but I was surprised at how clean the project structure is, considering that the last time I used JUCE, it imposed a messy and annoying (IMO) project structure based on its own build tool. Turns out I missed the news from a coupl

A lot of trackers work with synthesized sound, even some early trackers were synth-only. Modern ones have improved on this, eg. Sunvox, Buzz and others are mostly defined by their synths and effects, and how well those things integrate with

lol, I just searched "problem with referencing named element ids as javascript globals": the first result is the linked article and the second result is, you guessed it, this thread with your comment on top.

Sounds like it fits in the family of concatenative synthesis. I've played with this technique before but never got any nice results, this tool is good motivation to give it another go. Some other cousins: https://rodrigocons

The statistical study of Bach's works seems interesting. That said, I'm not convinced that any of the cited works (McHose, Hanson...) suggest that Bach invented the rules of music theory, they just use him as an prime example for

That was fun. I love how the AI is both very simple but also creates interesting group movements (especially in "zombie modes"). Cosmetic enhancement: the ground plane looks really blurry half-way to the horizon. I can even see it

Crepuscular rays are visible when you're facing away from the sun (hence their name, they generally exist when the sun is low). God rays are a fuzzier concept, but I've generally heard it when the rays appear to converge towards a

Fraidycat looks good, though it's more like a client than a self-hosted service. I especially like that it can follow / aggregate a bunch of different types of sources. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat

Likely the "filmic rgb" module in darktable. One of the most popular modules, it's pretty easy to get good results with the workflow they described. I also use it on most of my RAW pictures. https://docs.darktable.

>I used to make a bit of music Are you the same kibibu who made a bunch of Buzz plugins? Because I used them. Somewhat on topic, the Buzz audio plugin format is some single-header sweetness.
