Awwwe, what a cutie! Phidippus audax perhaps? Might enjoy munching a moth or a few. :)

from now on I'm just going to truncate the taylor series for sin at the first term. sin(x) = 0 for all x. this approximation

- is efficient to compute
- has bounded error
- has excellent analytic properties
- has very high accuracy for small values, which occur frequently in applications

Bg3 maybe? Escapes the rook, continues to prevent Kh2, and puts pressure on e1 to enable later favorable trades? 🤔

🤔 Hm it feels like there's minor local variation but no global variation.

There's not an anthem track then a slow track then a pop track. Instead the vibes are homogeneous throughout.

Any few-measure snippet sounds fine in isolation, but kind of similar to every other snippet.

Fun tunes though!

I similarly can do calculus but not basic algebra 😅
