#212Incredible work as always, thanks Bartosz. Interesting side note - using the "basic" frequency/amplitude slider section, you can tell if you have any hearing loss in a certain ear at a certain frequency, as well as high frequencies in general. As an ex-musician, I have some hearing loss caused by playing and being around extremely loud music. Between 6KHz and 7KHz, I felt the sound shift towards my right hear, indica…
I'm not convinced it's possible to be an ex-musician
Ha, good point. I'd like to get back to it someday but kids, work and lack of place to set up drums make it extremely challenging.

#213Anyone here knows what tools are being used to make the wonderful animations in the OP article?
Apparently it's done by hand in WebGL. See the top comment/thread in the previous mechanical watch submission.

If you've got a spare few hundred bucks get yourself a korg wave drum :D

A market would ruin it. This type of work is done for love, not for money.
I don't think that's necessarily true. The markets we have are perversions. They are captured; regulated and deregulated in all the wrong places. It is possible that small changes in how money or capital works could enable far better markets.
>It is possible that small changes in how money
It is called demurrage currency or negative interest rates...
Hint: If money itself no longer accumulates without consent then capital can only accumulate with consent.

#217I think my favourite part of this is being able to draw your own waveform and then play it. Super cool. You can learn about something so much faster when it's right there and instantly tweakable.
I drew a sine-wave, at double frequency (e.g. ◠◡◠◡), but it didn't really affect the frequency that I heard - it only changed the timbre. I wonder why...

Who says he isn't? We all have our strange hobbies that we pick (and sometimes discard/change) throughout life
He does :) hope he doesn't mind me sharing from his Patreon: > I myself don't even own any traditional watches, so the topic was very new to me. Thankfully, it was easy to understand the gist of how mechanical watches work just from watching some YouTube videos and I decided to give the topic a go. If you subscribe -- you should subscribe!! -- you can read his "making of" posts which are also fascinating. I don't thi…
aah, thanks! IT's true that I haven't bothered to go hunting besides the blog posts...

#220This man needs a genius grant, and this is about the 6th time I've thought this. Any one of these pages would be a feat, an achievement to be proud of, but as a collection, it forms one of the greatest educational resources of its type that I have known. These things can give you more intuition about a subject in 45 minutes than a textbook might be able to in 3 months, because it's interesting and not dry. I wish I h…
