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

I wonder how long it will take for "guaranteed AI-free!" to become a serious marketing argument for some products or services.
As one example, sr.ht advertises the lack of AI features.
What would you recommend for building a strong linear algebra foundation?
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 was hoping this was an open-source physical model of a piano.
Pianoteq has been around for 17 years -- as long as patents last! -- and yet open source still seems to have nothing that comes close.
There are some really good piano samples available for free--why put in the work for the physical modeling approach?

As a meat eater (with no intention of changing) I fully agree.
How we produce meat is an extremely wasteful way of producing food. Changing this would free up tons of farm ground, water and fertilizer.
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.
