    I upvoted, I favorited, I starred the repo, and I even used a smiley. What has OP done for me lately? :)

    Neat, now do a 3D Delaunay tetrahedrization! :)

    Great! I'm really excited. So, I want to make an RSS feed Gadget. And you will run an RSS Aggregator Gadget, and then some Presentation Gadget. Do I have that roughly right? How do…

    Did Jeff and Sanjay pair write their resignation letter? Wow.

    There are actually championships. People do refer to different bots at being at the Master level, Grandmaster level, etc. In Chess, in Go, etc. They might not be officials, they no…

    We know which bots are the best at Chess. You'd care which AI is the most accurate at diagnosing your medical condition. It's not a bad thing to keep track of which automated syste…

    Sure, but keep in mind that technically New Jersey is "habitable," so don't get too excited.

    I feel like there should be an online museum dedicated to reproducing the graphics in movies, as faithfully as possible. Especially awesome if film-makers started DONATING their vi…

    It doesn't seem like it's popular to put old game ROMs on IPFS...? And that surprises me...

    Don't worry, OP still can't center a div.

    Wouldn't it be better to just have an open source project, where everyone picks some tasks for their "spare" tokens to implement?

    Sure, you could think in terms of 1m^3. Yes, you're right that composing the best picture for an eye point could (and does) use splats from all over the scene. But I think if you l…

    My dumb idea... do outdoor scans, and then convert the contents into 1m^2 blocks... And then, just dumbly stitch them together. Kind of like Minecraft... but with user-generated ga…

    I was daydreaming about, picture if a corporation buys an entire state. Say, Wyoming or West Virginia. Gemini guesses $180 billion to $250 billion. With that investment, they'd get…

    I blame the intentionally cheap receiving optics. Researchers have reconstructed a TV signal from a hotel room with closed blinds, by very accurately measuring the ambient light in…

    I specifically want this device to have no input or output hardware that could be used without my knowledge. IrDA could absolutely be used without my knowledge.

    Me, in my life, I have a PC that's connected to the internet. I have a phone that's connected to the internet. I want another device, which I imagine to be a Pi or Esp32 or somethi…

    I've wanted to use this for an air-gapped communication device. I have a device with a camera and a touch-screen that only uses capacitive charging. I type a message. Bytes are enc…

    That's a bummer. I'll admit that, at first, I thought this said Michael Keaton. And oddly enough, Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas. So, there's a whole spiral of madne…

    I've been toying with using Jart's Blink, the "tiniest x86-64-linux emulator". If it were hardened against attacks by a smart community, it seems really attractive... Then I've bee…

    Yeah, when you describe that, I picture Wave Function Collapse to generate a map schematic... And then a text prompt, and some style photos the designers want it to match.

    Sure, but NERFs were trying to match your input photos and poses, not some arbitrary prompt, if I understand correctly.

    Where's the Lytro camera when you need one? I was really pulling for OTOY to keep making light field capture and display technology...
