For metallophones used in Gamelan music, I don't think the key difference is emphasis on higher vs. lower overtones. Rather, their overtones don't follow the harmonic series but are still well-defined. Their tuning goes along with

Interesting but I'm trying to imagine, what kind of features are we talking about here, leaves on the ground? Bumps on a terrain heightmap? Also do you mean one feature is placed in the center of each voronoi cell? PS everything you&#x

Interesting, I've planned similar shots before and used different tools that serve a similar purpose. The Photographer’s Ephemeris has nice visualizations: https://photoephemeris.com/ NASA's Horizons ephemeris is

Oddly enough, I've seen a similar injury on a dolphin before. Well, the head was missing, but the cutoff point could be described as "corkscrew". None of us had a good idea of the cause, but this hints it may have been predat

Fair point, my (and many people's) point of view is very virtual instrument centric. I'd still say that better impulses would improve the tool for the potential luthier application.

In this area of research, there's this classic trap that many fall into (including myself, many times). You focus on modeling things like the vibrating string, the resonant body, etc. to perfection. But it still sounds, uh, not great,

The music all by itself is not particularly enjoyable here. What's great is the concept, execution, and the way data from an unlikely source is directly audible in the music. What defines art will always be fuzzy, but this particular w

Generative art inspired by Arabic art happens to be a rabbit hole I went down last year and still have my notes on. Research on the topic seems to have waxed and waned sufficiently long ago that the best resources I found have suffered from

They are not shy about publishing LRO data. It looks like this (one for each LRO camera, narrow angle then wide angle): https://data.lroc.im-ldi.com/lroc/view_lroc/LRO-L-LROC-2-EDR... https://data.lroc.

The parts where it exits fullscreen and starts messing around with separate windows is really well done. In a way it's playing with the limits of what defines a demo (ie. the user's desktop is part of the performance), which is so

I could ask you the same question.

Though since we can't really see 3D, we could never have that "one circle zooms in" effect. Well, the 3D structure just needs to be sufficiently "holey" for the effect to become apparent. For example a cage-like s

This kind of technique can be used in 3D space as well! The analysis here represents Escher's techniques as conformal maps in the complex plane. Conformal maps are also possible, though more limited, in R^3. This is something that I ex

For some context, the author later became the language consultant for Rings of Power, therefore having to fill a very similar role to David Salo, whose work gets much critique in this essay. Makes you wonder if the ideal of "don't

I love this and will make it my motto. Scale yourself 100x every 3 years, or you're too slow. If I manage to keep it up roughly 11 years I will finally achieve planet scale.

OK, I sent the email myself. You don't have to do it. Just once, not 5 times per day. Agree about community awareness, but I think emailing the mods is more effective than responding to one of the 1000 comments this account is making.

I would suggest sending this as an email to the mods instead of a reply, what you're doing is practically a bug report to the bot owner right now. The resulting discussion isn't super interesting either (IMO).

I thought the charming ambiguity came from "fried" either acting as an adjective or as a verb. These aren't just any shrimp, they're chef shrimp, and they've prepared some delicious fried rice for us. Isn't tha

It shouldn't be problematic if the processor supports it well. For example modern Windows is always running as a VM and people are barely aware of that.

I can confirm the broken UI. The demo container disappears as you scroll down, leaving a blank space that takes up most of the screen. I want to make a snarky joke about this but I'm just tired at this point.
