Fabulous.
Now I just need to find a monochrome laser projector and my home office design is complete.

#72Thank you for sharing. This really inspired me to check out three.js. This website of yours might be one of the more beautiful things on the internet.

#73very nice, if you want to know more of the history of chaos I recommend the following book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos%3A_Making_a_New_Science?...
It's a nice coincidence to find this post on HN today as I JUST finished reading Gleick's book. But it was the audiobook version, which I immediately realized was not going to be very effective if I can't see any images or equations. And so it's perfect timing to see this outstanding interactive visualization!

#74It would be so much fun to use these as a setting for some kind of gaming experience. Like, I wanna hide behind parts of these and pop around a corner and blast my friend with a laser. Or to race gocarts along the surface of one, or I dunno, something frogger-esque to get a feel for the directionality of the flows... I love how they look, but I need more interaction to get a feel for the thing.

#75I can confirm that Simone (Maybe) is my favorite :) I especially like looking through them with the color set to Angular instead of Solid, so you can see where the peak acceleration is happening. Makes the big curves prettier :) great project!

Re: Show HN: Strange Attractors
#77This is so cool. Back in highschool during the Jurassic age I used ti play with attractors a lot. Unfortunately on a 486 it took 20-30 minutes to draw one even at low resolution. This renders in realtime and in 3D. Great work! Still they've had a strong impact in how I see systems - orbits, instability, etc.
If that was in the Jurassic, I guess I went to high school in the Cambrian. But hey, I like trilobites!

#78I would suggest to keep initial particles' color -- it would be easier to understand the system's evolution.

#79Earlier quoted context omitted.
Do you think an AI can learn this intuition by training it in similar environment?
Good point, why not? Communicating it back to us could be a problem. Hmm.. what if future ais hide data from us in dimensions we can’t wrap our heads around?
AI already works in an N-dimensional space ... who's to say it's not happening right now?
Re: Show HN: Strange Attractors
#80This is awesome, I often mess with strange attractors in Touchdesigner but its not to do some testing in the browser with this possibly.
