Seems kind of pointless. The tech for tracking is widely available and straightforward to use. Has been for decades.

3blue1brown has a great geometric LA series on youtube.

While I appreciate the effort the author has clearly put in here, Im not sure the visualization provides much in the way of practical intuition. These seem to essentially be mechan…

Used it for like a year before switching to opensuse tumbleweed. For rolling release Ive found it to be a lot more stable, though some of more obscure packages I use are harder to …

What country are you in out of curiosity?

+1 I find it hard not to read that sort of writing style as condescending.

Classic problem of trying to draw definitive lines between these things. I would guess this is more motivated by the social aspects of academics today than any real issue. In any e…

Maybe Schroder-Bernstein could simplify. Easier to write 2 injections.

There is a general notion of derivations I believe theyre using. Ie anything that obeys the Leibniz rule (fg)' = f'g+fh'. Its an informative exercise to see how many of the standar…

Ah, I think I see. Open sets are just how we encode information topologically. Theyre sort of the "atoms" of topology; the types of opens sets you have say how the topology behaves…

Can you give an example of what you mean?

The concept of a derivation on types could be interesting... but the notation is a bit much for me. Differential fields are (as I understand it) a hot topic at the moment. Maybe th…

Congratulations! Ive been following development with your blog/yt for a bit, so Im excited to finally check it out.

Ime its like solving puzzles. Maybe like getting really into Go or some similar game.

Fuji XEs are nice, small, relatively cheap bodies with interchangeable lenses. If youre looking for something small and know how to (or are willing to learn to) use a camera, thats…

I got a tiny Fuji mirrorless for my "best camera is the one with you" checkbox too. Next time I catch gear acquisition fever though, I might have to get one of those little Ricohs.…

The optics depend so much on physical size that phones have to fake this stuff. Idk why apple doesnt just cut the crap and just release like a m43 with swappable glass rather than …

Im surprised by all the folks who always pop into these threads saying theyve replaced their XXXX-expensive-dedicated-camera with their phone. Outside of wide DoF, wide FoV, well l…

Yeah Im unsure what the point is. The motivation for CT in programming seems weak. Eg Stuff about types and endofunctors feels like trivial examples using the jargon just to use it…

Eating super spicy food definitely leaves me feeling kind of drunk. Have met others who have this and others who doesnt believe me/think Im exaggerating.

Its a nicely written post, but I think its a bit misleading. This type of exposition preys on peoples feeling that there must be something deeper going on, but ultimately just kick…

A bit of knowledge of optics and photography is enough to know that little sensor with miniature glass cant compete with a dedicated camera. (Eg regardless of 'equivalent' field of…

At this point I feel like using a stripped down fork of firefox is basically a requirement. There's nothing left of the Mozilla that cared it seems.

I always chuckle when I see some like basic logical steps slapped with "citation needed".

Unfortunately I think 10 page expositions/derivations are the highest quality math and physics pages. I think the wikipedia style is fundamentally incompatible with communicating t…
