FYI, it supports decoding ultrasound wav files. I use a Dodotronic UM250K mic to capture ultrasound up to 125 kHz. LCD monitor and other electronics emits some interesting sounds. For some reason, getUserMedia doesn't allow high samp

I've been looking for something like this to review books. Two suggestions: 1. allow to load a book from a url, so notes could be added to arbitrary books; 2. allow to select text and add notes to that selection.

I do have a WebGL-based implementation of FFT, but here I used good old JS. When properly written, it gets translated into really fast machine code, which is even faster than WebAssembly (I tried!). WebGL's problem is the high toll on

Very reasonable ask, sir. In fact, I had added sample.mp3, but forgot to add a button in the UI. Now that's fixed.

Yeah, that's a bandpass filter, essentially. But I did it the lazy way: audio signal -> FFT -> zero out unwanted frequencies -> inverse FFT.

Your spectrogram looks elongated horizontally because the FFT window size is too large. I use window size 1024 with sample rate 48000 Hz, so one window covers 1024/48000=0.02 sec. This window size looks optimal in most cases: if you ch

You can select an area and zoom into it. Another option is to change sample rate in the config in the top right.

It uses "audio/webm;codecs=opus" to record mic. Now it's possible to change it in the config menu in the top right. Safari probably needs audio/mp3. Edit: also consider "audio/foo;codecs=pcm" where &q

Author here. This is a basic spectrogram visualizer that's mobile friendly. It allows to select regions on the spectrogram and play them separately. There is no grand plan behind this web app: it's just a handy basic tool to captu

Tested on toy examples: fibonacci numbers, quick sort and so on. Give it a pile of some C++ mess from any well known project.

"Am I interested to see what HN thinks about this?" If the answer is yes, I upvote the post. The article itself might be junk, but that's irrelevant.

Do we even have a definition of intelligence? A definition that is not a word salad made of vague terms?

The pantsers can also fit the model I've described. In this case GPT would keep in memory a sliding window of past N=1024 words, like it does today, but in addition to that it would remember the past N paragraph-tokens (symbols that ar

So if we asked GPT to write a book, it would be hallucinating a chain of words without sticking to any coherent plot. However, we could use a "multi-resolution" approach even with today's version of GPT: at the top level we a

The radial coordinate on ACF images is the temporal coordinate. Each circular slice encodes one FFT frame. Although I'm hardly a novice in making sense of spectrograms, I don't find them visually appealing: they are just schematic

Spectrograms are analytical tools, they don't convey the nature of sound: whether it's consonant or dissonant, cool or warm, pleasing or annoying. We could, and do, analyze pictures with 2D spectrograms, but hardly anyone would ar
