Re: Low FPS webcam - here's an approach that attempts to analyze coin tossing data from the _sound_ rather than the _video_, since sound is typically recorded at a much higher samp…

A lot of replies here are missing the key idea behind Penrose: that the "substance" and "style" of any mathematical diagram are separable. For example, the "substance" of a diagram…

I was inspired by this Rest of World post https://restofworld.org/2022/wordle-viral-turkish-japanese-t... to make a Hindi-language "Wordle" https://kach.github.io/shabdle/ just for…

Indeed, you can "learn" (by gradient descent) new parameters to this algorithm, to generate fractals in any target shape that you want! https://hardmath123.github.io/chaos-game-fra…

This reminds me of a small experiment I did with a friend, where we asked different people to independently write the HTML and CSS for a website (without communicating), and then p…

You might also like the nearley playground, which lets you write a grammar in BNF and see all possible parsings of an input. You can even press a button and generate a random strin…
