Why do you think that it is a good idea to make it public ? It is obviously half hallucinated mostly broken unusable piece of low effort (on human part), with as much value as blurry image generated with stable diffusion that people now widely consider bad taste and slop.

This and author homepage gives strong impression of the usual contemporary nothing burger.

Is it coincidence that in addition to Rust fanatics, these AI confidence tricksters also self label themselves using crabs emoji , don't think so.

I've tried similar project, as it turns out it is surprisingly hard to reliably move second's hand and not wobble in place, you need to drive quartz motor so precisely to make gears move.

Post don't go into detail about schematic, but resistors and diodes around motor is to properly drive motor and protection from Inductive kickback (Flyback) https://www.microtype.io/blog/h-bridge-circuit-design

In conclusion, nothing simple and aesthetic like Winamp v5, Vox.app v2, or Aural.app (current), not surprising.

The title is: This ESP32 Antenna Array Can See WiFi

And every time I see something like this I like to remind to myself and imagine what spherical grid of Starlink satellites linked by laser is really capable of instead of mere internet as it is advertised.

> Arrays are functions whose domains are isomorphic to contiguous subsets of the integers

Yes. And a sandwich is "a stack-based heterogeneous data structure with edible semantics." This is not insight. It is taxonomy cosplay.

Look, arrays and functions share some mathematical structure! - Irrelevant. We do not unify them because representation matters.

When a language makes arrays "feel like functions," what it usually means is: "You no longer know when something is cheap." That is not abstraction. That is obscurity.

Industry programmers do not struggle because arrays lack ontological clarity. They struggle because memory hierarchies exist, cache lines exist, branch predictors exist, GPUs exist, deadlines exist.

> the correspondence between arrays and functions [...] is alluring, for one of the best ways to improve a language is to make it smaller

No. The best way to improve a language is to make it faster, simpler to reason about, and less painful to debug.

> I imagine a language that allows shared abstractions that work for both arrays and appropriate functions

What if we invented increasingly abstract our own words so we don’t have to say ‘for loop’, map, SIMD, kernels?

Making arrays pretend to be functions achieves exactly none of those things. It achieves conference papers that end with “future work”.

Why is this academic slop keep happening ? - Professors are rewarded for novel perspectives, not usable ones.

It is case of Corporate Memphis induced design, SF people increasingly detachment from common sense, and general sign of societal decline.
