Yes
vicapow··on Image Kernels Explained Visually
Yep! It was tricky to make it performant but I mostly just used chromes performance profiling tool to pinpoint optimization compiler bailouts. A big one was just casting to ints with |0 inside the kernel function.
vicapow··on Show HN: Pi Explained Visually
That is a great visualization but one something that bothered me about it was that you're constrained to watch it unravel at it's own playback speed.

That's a great idea.
vicapow··on Show HN: Markov chains explained visually
To answer your first question, yes.
vicapow··on Show HN: Markov chains explained visually
There was a bug in the playground earlier that I just fixed that allows you to share your Markov chains via the url hash. For example: http://setosa.io/markov/#%7B%22tm%22%3A%5B%5B0.9%2C0.1%2C0%2...

vicapow··on The Central Limit Theorem Visualized with D3
"The Bean Machine, also known as the quincunx or Galton box, is a device invented by Sir Francis Galton[1] to demonstrate the central limit theorem, in particular that the normal distribution is approximate to the binomial distribution." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_machine
