Show HN: Factorio Blueprint Visualizer (github.com/piebro)
I love the game Factorio and I really like the look of factories after growing for many hours or blueprints after tweaking them for perfection. That's way I created a website to artfully visualize Factorio blueprints.

Missing the Forest for the Trees with Flame Graphs (ankush.dev)
Flame graphs are an amazing tool to visualize the performance of software and I'll forever be grateful to Brendan Gregg for creating them. There is however one catch that you should be aware of though. They tend to hide small overheads that have a bigger overall impact very well.

Visual Simplification of A*sin(x)+B*cos(x) (stackexchange.com)
When you have A\sin(x) + B\cos(x), I'm aware that is \sqrt{A^2 + B^2}\sin(x+\arctan(b/a)). I know how to prove this with algebra, but I was wondering if there was a visual proof to show this off.

Optimizing a WebGPU Matmul Kernel for 1 TFLOP (zanussbaum.substack.com)
I work at Nomic, where many of my colleagues work on building large TSNE-like visualizations work in the browser1. Showing tens of millions of data points in the browser without rendering your computer an oven is no easy challenge. I overhear many of the scaling problems solved by Deepscatter, first developed by Ben Schmidt.

AI Flame Graphs (brendangregg.com)
Imagine halving the resource costs of AI and what that could mean for the planet and the industry -- based on extreme estimates such savings could reduce the total US power usage by over 10% by 20301. At Intel we've been creating a new analyzer tool to help reduce AI costs called AI Flame Graphs: a visualization that shows an AI accelerator or GPU hardware profile along with the full software stack, based on my CPU flame graphs.
