I donated to https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge once. Invaluable for working with Wine-compatible VSTs on Linux.

As one example, sr.ht advertises the lack of AI features.

UMich has a couple other linear algebra courses that might be better for that: MATH 214, MATH 217 are the numbers if I remember correctly. 217 is known for having a high workload and greater rigor, but some say it's worth it even for non-Math majors.

I took this course 3 years ago. I found it fast-moving, and it focused a lot more on applications than fundamentals, which meant it was more wide than it was deep. This didn't turn out so well when I decided to study ML later and needed stronger linear algebra fundamentals, but it was a fun course. There were a couple interesting course projects, one of which was using linear algebra to balance a (simulated) 2D robot.

I'm a University of Michigan 3rd year undergrad student looking for a summer 2024 internship. I fell in love with programming 9 years ago, and have been aiming to make maintainable, user-friendly software ever since. Outside of school, I've built my programming skills by creating a number of side projects, working freelance, and doing two summer-long full-time internships at Domino's. At the University of Michigan, I've taken courses covering machine learning, robotics, computer microarchitecture, data structures & algorithms, technical communication, and more.

There are some really good piano samples available for free--why put in the work for the physical modeling approach?

Do you have any further information or a source for this? As someone unfamiliar with ML, this sounds crazy to me.

Do you have a more sustainable way to produce meat in mind? Ethics aside, the addition of another trophic level makes meat production necessarily less efficient than that of an equivalent amount of plants.

I like his channel but he's far from perfect. There's a sponsored product in most of his videos

For anyone interested in trying it know there is one major downside: most Linux binaries won't run on it because dynamically linked libraries work strangely on NixOS

If you then distribute that modified software, users don't have the freedom to modify it in turn since your source code would be unavailable.

Isn't it more readable not to have really long lines?

They absolutely should get that control though. The only thing preventing them from having it, often, are artificial limitations. Don't place too much faith in "the market" to fix problems.

The interface types proposal seems to have been dead for a while, unfortunately.

So, let's force that "value" on every user rather than let them build the experience they actually like?

Almost nobody is doing this, and almost nobody ever will because it breaks accessibility and a whole host of other features. I would save the alarmism for another day.

I find the ones on lichess quite useful. As for whether they work for ads, I'm not sure, IIRC you'll need to have your browser open or at least running in the background to get push notifications, so my hunch is that they wouldn't be good for that.

There are disputes about the accuracy of telomere length as a marker of aging, but it's great to see this kind of research advance.
