Great site! Would be cool to be able to adjust the speed at which the simulation runs as well.

> Here we introduce introduction to Boltzmann machines and present a Tiny Restricted Boltzmann Machine that runs in the browser.

nit: should "introduction" be omitted?

I stopped using YouTube a few years ago. It's just so many ads that I no longer enjoy using the platform.

Technically the emperor dubs Anakin as Vader just after the showdown where Anakin betrays Mace Windu. The battle with Obi-Wan happens after that.

I’m not normally this pedantic, but on the topic of Star Wars it somehow feels appropriate.

TIL, honestly have only watched Star Wars once, so I appreciate the correction.

Great writeup, though a bit confusing to first refer to Anakin as Darth Vader when the scene takes place prior to that development in the Star Wars arc.

Markmonitor and zoom are both terrible companies so I can't feel bad about this

Curious what your rationale is for Zoom being a terrible company? I don't disagree.

What motivated choosing 4 as the number of beeps to occur?

> Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Did not think I would be relating to Jon on a Thursday morning.

orange site, where nuance goes to die. The out-of-context clip isn't a referendum on her artistry; it's just bait for people who never engaged with her actual work.

I mean, I'm not sure what other context could justify howling and screaming in the middle of a musical performance.

If you haven't seen it already, would recommend checking out Yoko Ono's "performance" during John Lennon and Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXSGm0RUDxo
