In plain words

This is a humorous project that launched on Hacker News in March 2012. It's designed as a joke about self-promotion and voting manipulation, demonstrating a concept that automatically upvotes itself. While not a practical tool for real use, it serves as commentary on how online voting systems can be gamed. It's aimed at programmers and internet enthusiasts who appreciate clever technical humor.

How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
