im confused, surely there already exists clasification models, which, given multidimensional sensor data, output the most likely "activity" type? why would text modality be a better choice?

AFAIK, these islands of regularity/stability are a common aspect of chaotic systems, say the logistic map[1]. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

i would also think it is achieved by piezo's, though maybe thats specific to drum stuff?

reminds me of tsoding's nobuild, except it bypasses make and the only thing required is a C compiler. neat!

this is nice! wonder what it would take to make it emulate a small DOS like environment. the qt py has an esp32s3, which afaik is quite a beast for a microcontroller.

"learns on its own" makes it sound like unsupervised learning, but it's labeled data: the researchers also input the correct "output voltage" which they want the system to learn. it's still neat tho. I feel tha

as an atheist, the new testament was a pretty fun read. if you put aside all the stuff about Jesus being God and also his son or whatever, the character was very revolutionary and anti-establishment. "The Sabbath was made for man, not

I don't know about the card game approach, but the author definitely has a point. I'd even argue that this is a problem in most engineering teaching, talking about different little subjects with no picture of connection or purpose

I especially appreciate the "Simulink-like" block based visual coding style, I think it's a more intuitive alternative than textual coding in the context of systems and blocks etc. also love the convenience of simply "ad

one would think that programming requires especially low accuracy, since most of the things you type are either language-specific or previously defined.

I laughed so hard at this. It's like "We took all the good parts of being open source, and the good parts of NOT being open source".

apparently OBS devs don't want to share direct evidence yet and resolve it privately probably due to their GPL Cooperation Commitment. while I'm sure we all appreciate that, it would be nice to see the decompiled binaries and the

AFAIK there was (still is) huge public backlash after it became apparent that there were no WMDs in Iraq. Ofc you can argue that this reaction was too late and maybe even insincere (since public support was very high in the beginning of the

a bit vague and hand wavey. also I'm baffled how the author didn't use the term "chaos theory" in the text.

I did not know Processing and Arduino shared such close origins! they're both projects I adore and I believe Arduino revolutionized embedded programming, maker culture and hobby electronics. I also appreciate that the creator persisted
