Just a letter from the pope, often about how Catholic teaching relates or applies to some modern issue. They present nothing new in terms of Catholic teaching itself, but, through …

Perhaps better to redirect with further instructions... "No, let's consider some other approaches first"

Nice! I wanted to do this sort of thing when I was playing around with 3D game programming in the late 90s / early 2000s, to capture how a wider FOV looks in movies. Alas, computer…

I've always thought the basilar membrane was a fascinating piece of biological engineering. Whether or not the difference between its behavior vs FT really matters depends on the c…

Learned about the tonnetz (among other models) from the book "Audacious Euphony"... Challenging (and unfortunately too expensive now), but fascinating stuff... https://www.amazon.c…

Yep. He tries text in another video by flipping pixels for one or more frames, so the words disappear very quickly. Definitely harder to read, especially longer words: https://yout…

Others have mentioned Branta Games, but I first saw the effect here: https://youtu.be/TdTMeNXCnTs

True, I was rather pointing out that being able to parse symbolic language deterministically doesn't imply that we could then "reason" deterministically in general; the reasoning w…

Problem is, even with symbolic logic, reasoning is not completely deterministic. Whether one can get to a set of given axioms from a given proposition is sometimes undecidable.

Hmmm... Nothing made me cry. I will diminish and go into the west.

Ha! Fun stuff. While some ideas are actually intriguing, many if its suggestions seem to be overly vague jumbles of common phrases and technology. "AI-powered databases to leverage…

Some little audio examples would also be nice so visitors don't have to scroll through the video to hear them. Still, awesome work!

Christmas 1996, I was 11. We finally got a modern computer with Windows 95, a CD-ROM drive, speakers, Oregon Trail 2... It was magical! The only time I ever wept with joy over a Ch…

They're great! They just cost too much for how much output I want.

I don't have much real use for celebrity voices (other than fun experimentation), but I'd love to be able to clone my own voice and character voices for the purposes of creating au…

Was thinking the same thing. Very fun idea, nice work!

Yes

The real question is why people enjoy listening to other people's useless chitchat. Humans are weird.

The Ctrl +/- zooming? It's not smooth, it's limited, it's just font resizing, not zooming back from a plane as you'd get in 3D, where the center would remain constant. Scrolling st…

Would love something like this in VS Code so I could smoothly zoom in and out of my code rather than scrolling and clicking tabs.

Sure, but luck isn't necessarily either.

Not sure this actually tells us anything useful as it's all based on an inherently simplified simulation. You get what you simulate for. You could just as easily replace "luck" wit…

May depend on the kids' ages and what sort of viewer they are. As a young kid (like around age 6 and below) watching a movie episodically would've been fine for me. Time was differ…

At least in some contexts, I never really agreed with calling it "uncertainty"; a frequency cannot exist in less time than the time needed to measure it. You're not really uncertai…

Even without AI, the message feels spammy. "Hey, love your work. random flattery What do you think about mine?" I've received a few messages like that before LLMs were around, just…
