Thank you for this dark-matter-theories-in a nutshell comment! I learned a lot!

Freya Holmér's "Why you can't multiply vectors?" was also a very nicely presented talk on a number of linear algebra topics.

Thank you for your valuable comment! As an autodidact I do buy books on various fields that interest me and I'm always looking for comments such as yours that can give me more information about the main texts in that field and what they cover well or what another book covers better. So this is very helpful!

How many Blurays are we talking about?

Thanks for all your efforts on pikuma.com, huge fan here.

Can you share what kind of ideas you're mulling for the direction of the site?

I had no idea about any of this! Thank you for sharing this!

A light weight journaling of your learnings as you go along would probably be real beneficial to many (such as myself who has zero knowledge on the subject of DAWs and creating music effects for games). And since you said it’s very challenging maybe writing about it in small bite-sized learnings might make the process easier? Going from “I must learn all this stuff!!” to “let’s see what audio gems we pick up in our adventure today”.

Come on, somebody at Adobe spill the beans. Who was responsible for this debacle?

Since you’re already done creating your hardware product instead of thinking of a new product to follow up with, I would suggest a new business model: there are probably a non-zero number of people on HN that have a vision about making a hardware product. You can offer your services so the don’t have to learn all these lessons the hard way!

I agree. In fact you should make a (YouTube?) video showing the slide rule and how to use it and your grandfather’s history to preserve this bit of history for your family and family’s future descendants.

this is gold!

“Click to keep avoiding work …”

quite an interesting list of books for 2025. I’ll have to get some of these to read. Especially the Information theory one above and the one you mentioned in your review.

1. Why Machines Learn - Anil Ananthaswamy

Fantastic exposition of machine learning. The author does an amazing job of bringing a technical subject down to an easily readable level.

2. The Joy of Abstraction - Eugenia Cheng

Similar to the above review. I never thought Category Theory could be made so easily readable!

3. A Little History of Philosophy - Nigel Warburton

Small, compact book. A quick interesting jaunnt through the history of philosophy. Entertaining and educational!
