There are slight variations in how each device plays the same audio file due to differences in CPU, sound card, browser, etc. When AliExpress played the silent sound, it measured these small variations to help build fingerprints of users' devices.

The first simulated image of a black hole, calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.

I didn't deeply understand that integral is just a sum until I graduated and started writing prefix sums for parallel computation. Nowadays I intuitively split integrals vertically/horizontally whenever needed. I still don't know whether the problem was the teacher or me.

Completely unrelated issue. claude code doesn’t use Bun.serve() (the HTTP server) to publish single file executables.

Hold on a second. Using polar coordinates for better quantization is... such a low hanging fruit. (graphics devs do that all the time for the TBN matrix)

The Khronos Group’s Alexey Medvedev and Dan Frith joined Kent Bye on Voices of VR earlier this week to discuss the evolution of glTF as a spatial format and the use cases for external references. The recording is now available: voicesofvr.com/1521-new-gltf…

#1521: New glTF External Reference Format Combines Multiple Assets into a Scene - Voices of VR...

The Khronos Group is working on a new open standard tentatively called the glTF External Reference Format (or glTFx for short), which will allow users to add multiple glTF assets to a single scene....

As many of you noticed the map I used is not using the proper vote results from the 2016 U.S. presidential election. I have been mislead by the map posted by Lara Trump which shows more red than it should be. Here is an updated version of the GIF:

Last night @CNN called Native voters “something else”. In an election largely driven by race, the media still fails to accurately cover voters of color. For Native Americans, we’re not even named.

I built a todo list app simply by describing it to GPT-3. It generated the React code for a fully functioning app within seconds. I'm becoming more impressed and aware of its capabilities every single day.
