I'm a biophysicist by training interested in the pedagogy of music and physics. My current work involves the creation of a rhythm game written in pygame meant to help students learn how to play conga, write python, and understand fourier transforms for audio analysis.

Last Notes npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David @npub1dzx…40ny is it out of water? Looks like a swamp cooler that cools by evaporating water. There's no heat to transfer outside the place being cooled. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David @npub1437…ranm they must use their boots npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David @npub1xpc…3t05 have you looked into scythes? npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David we can't have dark mode printed books i guess. not cheaply at least npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David One day we'll have reliable open source small language models that can run locally and work just as well for this without burning down a small forest each time npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David improve or fail, mastodon npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David @npub1hpc…hjn3 I'm making more democracy by ensuring and expanding access to weekly pickup baseball npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David if by you guys you mean americans the answer is no npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David @npub1527…eh7n thank you for reposting that remix of a mitch hedberg joke. i prefer to leave the comment-free goodness in its current state but i'm in a typing mood so here we are npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David i can trust the good ones on the right topics with my own caveats npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David here's a *.org that provides other uses for bread clips npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David Invest in pickup baseball foundation npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David i don't get crunchy peanut butter. why spend the time to grind roasted peanuts if you're then going to add un ground peanuts. makes no sense. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David very neat. the sister saving is super interesting. i published on the vestigial hearing organ in frogs and so now i'm interested in how ants hear. they're so small. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David are there ever tunnel collapses? just curious. are many ants lost to cave-ins? npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David @npub1l8q…f4up number four is amazing. Look at those lines tangent to the circle. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David This prepper-fetish electrical storm societal collapse documentary forgot to mention that a solar storm will only hit one side of the planet. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David It's not just motor learning either because the endpoint action doesn't have to leave neural tissues npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David That's how I think of the baseball bat swinging motion. But not just muscle motion, too. Complex thought patterns can become automated into a single stimulus-evoked response. Like writing science. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David I'm requiring students to be proactive in their contact with me. I am opt -in. I don't want to meet if they don't want to meet. This will result in some students not doing anything the entire time. I'll write them good letters of rec if they ask. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David “As of my last knowledge update” is a common phrase used in language generation software and a search for it (in quotes) in google scholar returns many accepted manuscripts. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David It might be time for science to explore astrourology npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David recently i've seen a great interviewer and a terrible interviewer and the differences are stark. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David the ability to write compelling scientific arguments is dangerous without the ability to verify an argument's quality. and how should we verify the effectiveness of the training for those abilities? should not that training be made available to everyone for free? where is that training? references welcome. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David Natural vs artificial is a pseudo-dichotomy because we're all just soil come to life. All the thinking and soul-searching we've witnessed is just what some soil does. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David merry xmas npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David I agree that search is the product people want npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David I was blown away by the production value of this video. And the comments about how the high pressure regime is unique and unexplored got me interested. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David Spacious in the sense that they have room for other's views. Spaced in the sense that some people 'space out.' npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David this computer with a 1235u processor comes with a screen and keyboard but is several hundred dollars less than the mini pcs with the same processor but no keyboard, screen, or battery. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David No joke I wanna start a slow walking group. I love walking slowly I'm not gonna lie. There's nothing that I want more than to have enough time to get somewhere, it's close enough that you're basically already there, and that I can amble along slowly enough that both arms can swing together. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David Portable computers with external batteries are the future. Here nvidia contributes an external gpu to that ecosystem. npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David a billion dollar foundation would immediately have the capacity to cover sections of the mediterranean for sure npub1u39u4wxux9h2w88p6yx45nfd9advxmgp655uekzkqevudpcpwwws32xw62 David #[0] there's nearly 400 kw of solar for sale there right by the new tulare lake if i'm not mistaken. that auction is making me think about starting a power plant
