I'm curious to see how Claude can interact with Blender, and how people use it. I use Claude every day for both work and personal research, overall think it's a great product, but I've found it (thus far, never bet against ge

This author is really prolific in the Julia visualization ecosystem. One of my favorite projects from them is actually quite useful outside Julia: a super minimal but slick Unicode character lookup, glyphy.info.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope that helping others through this project helps you find some solace. IMHO, it's a mark of character that your response to having a problem is "I want to help other people so they suffer thi

This makes sense in the context of trying to maximize log wealth (or I think any concave function of wealth, though the arithmetic is different). But in one of OP's other articles [1], he says the Kelly criterion doesn't require t

OP, you have a comment there about mouse support in the Keyboardio. I've been using a Keyboardio since 2019 and haven't much tried the mouse support -- any advice? How did you set it up?

I'm curious what kind of slow IO is a pain point for you -- I was surprised to read this comment because I normally think of Julia IO being pretty fast. I don't doubt there are cases where the Julia experience is slower than in ot

How do modern foundation models avoid multi-layer perceptron scaling issues? Don't they have big feed-forward components in addition to the transformers?

I've heard this before -- that oversized cooling units (whether standalone AC or part of a heat pump) mean muggy interiors in the humid seasons. But...why? I'd think that a fixed amount of air compressed in the compressor means a

I agree that cars and trucks are appropriate for a variety of trips and cargo-hauling use cases that scooters are not appropriate for. But I confess I'm missing the implication - what does this imply about the claim that micromobility

Bird the company has/had lots of problems, but I'm sad to see them hit bankruptcy for what it signals about micromobility as a whole. I've long been frustrated that micromobility is held to a standard no other transportation

The discussion around shared e-scooters (and similar micromobility) tends to have a ton of hidden status quo bias. For example, one of the most common complaints about e-scooters is that people leave them all over the place and they clutter
