I think someone also made this for MacBooks: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor

I don't think this is correct. The concentration of CO2 in air is about 0.04%, whereas the concentration of oxygen is 20%, so the partial pressure of oxygen is about 500x higher. T…

I use KOreader on my Kobo, which is an alternative open-source ebook renderer. It installs pretty easily without rooting the device. In addition to better standards compliance it a…

A somewhat related experience: I asked for advice on Twitter about something and got two unhelpful AI-generated responses (from accounts I have never heard of / don’t follow) and n…

Good point; I didn't realize that GOOG/META/AMZN were outside the scope of VGT. Is there a good alternative to QQQ/VGT that you would recommend?

I think VGT is a good QQQ replacement. It is based [1] on the MSCI US Investable Market Information Technology 25/50 Index which is free-float adjusted [2] [3], meaning that SpaceX…

This reminds me of Vibe Kanban ( https://vibekanban.com/ ) which I use to manage coding agents on most of my projects. The Vibe Kanban developers unfortunately decided that they di…

You can also make ZIP files smaller by switching the compression from Deflate to Zstandard. In the one case I tried this, this resulted in a 60% file size decrease [1]. Unfortunate…

Here’s a good 2 minute explainer https://youtu.be/HVv_IQKlafQ

Another library in this space is pcodec; I'd appreciate a comparison of the two.

I love this! It reminds me of https://cursordanceparty.com/ which was built by a friend about 15 years ago and is still online :)

> At the time of writing, the fix has not yet reached stable releases. Why was this disclosed before the hole was patched in the stable release? It's only been 18 days since the bu…

I think most people can speak faster than 120 WPM. For example this site says I speak at 343 WPM https://www.typingmaster.com/speech-speed-test/ , and I self-measure 222 WPM on den…

I think (without having done extensive research) that some sort of Apple hardware is your best bet right now. Apple hasn’t raised RAM upgrade prices [1] (although to be fair their …

Tried this out today and it feels half-baked unfortunately. I can't get auth working ( https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli/issues/198 ). The decision to pass all params as a JSO…

Side note, a lot happens at C3 other than the talks! Art, electronic gizmos and demos of all kinds, people hacking in realtime on projects, impromptu meetups, and bumping techno mu…

I recently designed an eval to see if LLMs can produce usable CAD models: https://kerrickstaley.com/2026/02/22/can-frontier-llms-solve... Claude 4.6 Opus and Gemini 3.1 Pro can to …

Cool project, thanks for sharing! The simulator lets the LLM request renders from different angles/times, so the LLM can get visual feedback. For failures, the simulator also retur…

a = b = [] has the same semantics here as b = [] a = b which I don't find surprising.
