This was last week. It seems like the same mechanism though, if the phone is still tied to their Apple ID.

My intended recipient doesn't actually have an iPhone (but I didn't know that at the time). In my contacts I have both their phone number and their email address, and I'm assuming that email is what's associated with the

The game looks like a gamified version of the test they're using to measure concentration. It seems likely that the subjects are getting better at that specific task through practice, but I'd be skeptical that the results would ge

They make high-precision low-resistance resistors specifically for current measurement. Your standard cheapo zero-ohm resistor though is more for creating optional connections that you can configure at assembly time.

Thanks for replying, I'd definitely be interested in more architectural details. 3ms to complete codegen is orders of magnitude faster than I expected. Does that include everything necessary from making the change through actually synt

Looks super slick, thanks for sharing! Can you give a little more detail in how this compares architecturally with something like PD? I imagine a tradeoff of generating LLVM MIR and compiling it is that you can get better performance, but d

That's a pretty poor example. Not all tools are equal, and one of the important ways to describe a tool is by what degrees of freedom it affords the user, and what aesthetic decisions are baked into it. A paintbrush has a lot of degree

Check out the Bela project[1], which has back-ends for a few different audio packages (e.g. PD and SuperCollider) that totally bypass the kernel and handle the audio callback directly (maybe from a bare-metal ISR, not exactly sure). That’s

I think deciding how best to counteract systematic bias at earlier stages of the pipeline is difficult, and I don't think we should accept widespread collateral damage. That said, I don't think we should use that as an excuse to b

I don't think it's a stretch to say that life is harder (on average) for minorities. Ignoring the role of racism and sexism to try to put all the blame on socio-economic background is a gross oversimplification. The NYtimes had a

I don't think it's really relevant to my point above, but no, I think on average asian americans face more racism than white americans.

Except all other things are not equal. Someone who has achieved at the same level while also fighting sexism/racism has had to work harder and be better to get there. They’re playing on hard mode.

That assumes the noise is uncorrelated though (which the noise on a camera sensor generally would be). If the noise is correlated then averaging doesn't help.

That only covers the errors due to aliasing. There's still going to be additive noise introduced during the transfer that will build up each time the content is transferred.

Whether elementwise or linear algebra operations are more common depends on your use case. I’m personally super happy not to need to write np.dot(A, b) when I could just write A*b, or a’b for an inner product, which matches the math and wil

Hopefully I can clarify some of the "maybe it is, maybe it isn't" in this post - I've found the Julia community to be almost universally full of helpful and friendly folks, mostly scientists and/or people with a lan

Better cache access patterns are one of the reasons Julia's dot-broadcasting[1] is super cool. If you have big vectors `a` and `b`, the expression `sin.(a .+ exp.(b))` will do a single pass over your data, calling `sin(a[i]+exp(b[i]))`

FWIW I found your feature descriptions pretty tight and compelling. It was cool to read through what's available and then pop to the top of the screen to see it in action (particularly the typewriter and blur modes). The main thing I d

I think the issue of control rate in PD is often confusing for folks, because there isn’t any “control rate” that is fundamental to the language. There are audio rate signals that are processed every block, and there are messages that get h

If all the music you want to listen to is available via streaming services than great, but I have a bunch of MP3s that aren't (things ripped from old CDs, music from my friends, music from anti-streaming artists).

Don't confuse throughout and latency. The mouse may be measuring and sending data every 1-2ms, but that doesn't say anything about the latency before the data is handled.
