well the full full quote is from C.S Lewis' Narnia, where Aslan says:

Do not cite the deep magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.

im confused, surely there already exists clasification models, which, given multidimensional sensor data, output the most likely "activity" type? why would text modality be a better choice?

i would also think it is achieved by piezo's, though maybe thats specific to drum stuff?

reminds me of tsoding's nobuild, except it bypasses make and the only thing required is a C compiler. neat!

this is nice! wonder what it would take to make it emulate a small DOS like environment. the qt py has an esp32s3, which afaik is quite a beast for a microcontroller.

from their youtube comment:

> Good question. For efficiency, we try to keep commonly used terms such as letters as short as possible. Note that the words we use for letters all one syllable, whereas the NATO phonetic alphabet are mostly two syllables. The words we use for spelling are also chosen so that they can be chained together easily and quickly, eg “harp each look look odd”. Easy to say quickly without slurring

> The idea that fluid is solving the Navier-Stokes equation seems like an obvious error to me - it cannot solve the equation, it simply acts a fluid, which the equation was designed to approximate.

that's his "Principle of Computational Equivalence", that natural processes are themselves computations. it's easy to see this is true in a "made-up" universe, say Game of Life, but whether our universe is computational is still an open question I think.

"learns on its own" makes it sound like unsupervised learning, but it's labeled data: the researchers also input the correct "output voltage" which they want the system to learn.

it's still neat tho. I feel that an AGI will come out of an analog computer rather than a digital one.

IKR, sad to see such ingenuity used to hack activists.

as an atheist, the new testament was a pretty fun read. if you put aside all the stuff about Jesus being God and also his son or whatever, the character was very revolutionary and anti-establishment.

"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."

I don't know about the card game approach, but the author definitely has a point. I'd even argue that this is a problem in most engineering teaching, talking about different little subjects with no picture of connection or purpose.

I especially appreciate the "Simulink-like" block based visual coding style, I think it's a more intuitive alternative than textual coding in the context of systems and blocks etc.

also love the convenience of simply "adding a slider" whereas in matlab for example you have to build an "app" and add callback functions and do weird stuff to change the block parameters

lol didn't know about this license, amazing!
