Nice try, but no: honey is not 'insect vomit.' Honey isn’t actually created or stored in the bee’s stomach. It is excreted through the mouth of the bee: but it is not 'vomit' since…

Stamps for email? This idea has been discussed for decades now. I like it https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Anti-spam_20_27stamps_27#124...

Well, you nailed it there. Nice work

Wonderful essay! OP's tireless research is appreciated.

"In fact, people have actually made spatial pattern generators that allow you to input the frequency profile that you want, and get the corresponding point pattern out. It’s really…

Hmmm... this is trash. All images are called 'downloaded_image.jpeg' which is hilarious. Who created the image? When? Where? How can I find more from the same book, or by the same …

https://cep.museepicassoparis.fr/ Great resource, terrible site. Why can't any serious museum create a good, simple image gallery? Low resolution, missing images, curatorial cruft,…

In order for that not to happen (uninterpretable ML models) some research on symbolic distillation, aka symbolic regression https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11287 https://www.science.org…

As Gorard has long been at pains to point out (and Wolfram, being preternaturally immodest, has not) the model is a formalism, not a theory . That said, the point of redescribing t…

IANAM but I guess the name for mining OEIS or generating scads of data iteratively for analysis would be empirical mathematics. It's empirical metamathematics if you attempt this w…

+1 for human presence. I agree with the commenter upthread that it feels off-puttingly impersonal. Show me the faces! Otherwise, I totally get the problem you're trying to solve so…

Hey, thanks for chiming in! I appreciate the correction. You and Boris seem to have identified the pain-point and got to a similar place independently

Are you sure? Boris Dalstein first published his work on Vector Graphic Complexes (VGC) at SIGGRAPH in 2014 [1] Figma introduced Vector Networks in 2016 [2] [1] https://www.borisda…

Came here to recommend that great post too. Also, the graphics are much prettier there if you like that kind of thing (which I do).

Great post! The FSL is interesting because it correctly assumes the existence of parasites, ie 'harmful free-riders'. There are ofc too many projects doing what is in effect free R…

Good move! Do you have a link for that? Would be interested to hear it FWIW, the Roland D50 did something similar, and used PCM samples to model the attack/transients... you could …

This is a pretty solid list, props to OP for putting his observations all in one place! I definitely agree with 2,3 that clippy hard transients are cool (clipping is in general a b…

Sounds good! Standing by.

This is exactly right. If you've written further on this subject, I'd like to read it.
