I'm making a visual explainer site for PyTorch functions: https://whytorch.org/ A great example of how it works is http://whytorch.org/torch.amax/ Clicking items in the tensors explains where they came from and where they are used in the output. The input tensors can be modified too. It's a one-man side project that's been half building the site framework, and half re-implementing pytorch functions in javascript. Ple…

This looks neat. Great idea!

Perhaps `dot`, `cross` etc might be useful additions.

Trying to re-legalize "neighborhood commercial" by right in the city I live in. Things like corner stores or small barber shops or coffee shops or converted restaurants. ACUs or Accessory Commercial Units, home conversions... different ways of doing it.

Great. I assume you live in the US ? Your urban planning law are atrocious. In countries like thailand for instance it's very common to have a shop in the house. Things go nicely and it's more lively. Good luck, that a good project at the root of so many issues

If you have a shop in a house in Thailand and a crazy person decides he likes the shop and stays in front of it all day yelling, in Thailand, the people in the house call the police, who make the crazy person leave. In the US, every person, crazy or not, has Freedoms and Rights, and the police won't do anything to help the people in the house because it would be wrong according the the US way of thinking to curtail the Rights and Freedoms of the crazy person (who is yelling all day near the shop, which is very near the house).

Consequently, owners of houses in the US try to make it as boring as possible and as useless as possible for any crazy person, homeless person or group of teenagers to hang around near the house. One way they do this is to make sure the house is surrounded only by other houses, trees, parking spaces and roads (and there is not anything as useful or interesting as a shop in easy walking distance).

This is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is directionally accurate.

I launched Quiet UI this week: https://quietui.org/ It prioritizes accessibility, longevity, performance, and simplicity. With the autoloader, one script tag loads components dynamically without downloading the entire library. (npm also available.) Theming uses color-mix() and OKLAB to create uniform color palettes from a single CSS property. Adaptive palettes are used for dark mode. All form controls are form-associ…

Nice. Great work. Bookmarked

I've been working non-stop on my game development tutorial website:

https://raizensoft.com/tutorials/

Currently it mainly focuses on libGDX which is my most favorite framework. I prefer code-centric approach because that's how game development should be in my opinion.

Most of the tutorials are just pure coding with algorithms explanations. My goal is to build one of the most resourceful website for libGDX because it's quite underserved at the moment.

In the future I may expand to other code-centric frameworks and more general game development topics, let's see how it go.

I've been contributing to a project called Folk computer[1]. It's focused on creating a physical medium for computing (think printing out a program, which is then tracked by the computer. There's some really cool spatial interaction that happens). Folk v2 is currently in development, so I've been digging into the guts of the datalog-like engine. It's been a lot of fun to pick up C and see it applied to a project I can directly interact with!

Hi HN, I am working on Circuitscript, a language based on python to describe electronic schematics/circuits: https://circuitscript.net/ Recently, I have released a simple IDE (called the Bench) to try Circuitscript online: https://bench.circuitscript.net/ The next steps are to create more schematics with Circuitscript as examples to test the limitations of the language and to generate PCB designs with KiCAD. The Circ…

I love this idea! Just wanted to send a note of encouragement. Keep at it!
