check out pr #24 i opened to convert musicxml notation into notes so ppl can do fun arrangements and performances from musicxml files
my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!

recently i learned there are entire online communities dedicated to archiving those patterns inside of envelopes that exist to obscure the information, so when you hold it up to light, you can't read the contents. people even make art out of it (creds in alt text)

don’t let design tools distract you from your work as a designer. design is design is design

people are like “why do LLMs always think they’re in an eval lol” and then have bad dreams about forgetting to turn in a homework assignment 10 years ago

日更栏目《999 个小技巧,让你 Vibe 的产品更有质感》 ✨ 010 液态玻璃材质 001–010 都在我主页,关注我,每天一个让产品更有质感的小技巧 给你现成的卡片、播放器、搜索框换上液态玻璃,深浅模式各自配好着色浓度。Prompt 随附,可以直接抄 ⬇️ 这个玻璃材质是我开发 Lumno 时研究出来的,我把它拆成 6 个复合层: 1. 投影:控制卡片的体积感投影。 2. 模糊与提亮:模糊背景,同时提高背景的饱和度和亮度,让玻璃更通透。 3. 边缘折射:用 SVG 位移贴图把边缘一圈的背景往里压,越靠边压得越狠,中间保持平整;红光比蓝光多弯一点,形成色散。 4. 着色:一层半透明色彩遮罩,透明度根据背景复杂程度自动调整。 5. 边缘光:左上、右下各一道,再往内侧缩进加一道,让整体更有体积感。 6. 文字着色:浅色玻璃上用正片叠底,深色玻璃上用叠加提亮。这样文字不是死板的纯色,而是带一点背景的颜色。 7. 材质会读取多个采样点,算出背景的平均亮度,低于 0.5 就自动切换为浅色。 推荐参数: 浅色:着色白 6%–22%、模糊 2px、饱和度 180%、亮度 1.06 深色:着色 rgb(20 20 24) 16%–38%、模糊 2px、饱和度 160%、亮度 0.8 折射:边宽 44px、边缘偏移 1.1 倍边宽、色散 ±15%
