From Scratch

I make things. Occasionally stuff as well, just to mix it up a bit.

What do you say when the Debian package manager is almost the command you need, but you don't have the required privileges?

It's pseudo apt.

@BreakingTaps Wait I learn about the release of both a new Breaking Taps video and Storm light 5 from the same post? It's a good day

Finally finished my next video, I've made an electronic chess board that removes the concept of turns! Link in the replies

@__paleologo For Kelly you just maximize EV log payout subject to your portfolio summing to 1, which using a Lagrange multiplier gives that your portfolio weight is just p[i] for each. Not sure about Sharpe, the algebra seems to get messy but I'm sure there's some clever trick

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

I'm curious

@hankgreen Davinci, only fully featured program that supports linux

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

Why work on functionality when you can stay up until 5am the day before you have to film making a flashy startup sequence?

@ESYudkowsky Don't we already have a wolf and boy related fable to refer to exactly this already though?

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

@patrickjs This felt like being rickrolled for the first time again lol

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

I may have a slight online shopping problem...

Just got 15 pounds worth of 50N lifting electromagnets for the project I'm currently working on

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

This is so awesome. I wonder if you could do more complex animations with keyboard text input as well

💫DID YOU KNOW💫
that if you move a mouse cursor fast enough, you can get persistence of vision and, say...

*run a game of Pong inside your mouse's firmware*

@hot_girl_spring I like the 29 downvotes. Like is this part of someone's cursed workflow?

@RockettLord I'm not convinced I wouldn't have dropped out on the spot upon having to take LabVIEW 101. Also for the first one I like the idea of a class randomly switching between stuff like pitch diameter and Amdahl's law with no explanation, just threads in a general sense

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

@joebarnard That, undefined behavior and multi threading.

Given my upload schedule I think it's clear that in my experience it's more than a few hours haha! Definitely would also recommend though, gives such a nice finality for the end of a project

[Joe Barnard 🚀 @joebarnard]

Making videos is so fun, and incredibly rewarding. The only real barrier to entry is having a smartphone and a few extra hours. If you've been waiting for a sign to start uploading stuff, let this be it!

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

@VictorTaelin Reminds me a lot of this post about AlphaGeometry. Just brute forcing IMO geometry proofs (with as much optimization as possible) was much more effective than competition mathematicians expected, even before you add AI https://t.co/L8cvvQnM4i

Let's go!

First prototype for my next project!

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

It even autocorrects and suggests completions when you start typing, but there's no way to access a whole list of installed fonts if you happen to not know exactly what you want beforehand.

[From Scratch @from_scratch_yt]

GIMP is truly a tour de force of horrendous UX design, why would you conceivably make font a case sensitive free form entry instead of a dropdown?
