Ask HN: Is making a self taught transition to AI/ML related fields possible?
31 by tayo42 | 22 comments Graduate school looks to be like way to much of a time and money commitment right now. A ton of this academic content seems to be free online anyway. I got into software with free content and classes online. I'm wondering if anyone has had success moving into this field, for a generalist engineer? I'd imagine advanced degrees aren't required for everything? ML infra and stuff, perf/optimization work etc... Maybe learning materials, resume and interview advice etc? Thanks in advance if you have an interesting answer! on Hacker News.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Synesthesia, make noise music with a colorpicker

Show HN: Synesthesia, make noise music with a colorpicker 3 by tevans3 | 1 comments This is a (silly, little) app which lets you make noise music using a color picker as an instrument. When you click on a specific point in the color picker, a bit of JavaScript maps the binary representation of the clicked-on color's hex-code to a "chord" in the 24 tone-equal-temperament scale. That chord is then played back using a throttled audio generation method which was implemented via Tone.js. NOTE! Turn the volume way down before using the site. It is noise music. :) on Hacker News.
