A hearty +1 to using WinForms (as long as your desktop app targets Windows only, of course). The fact that WinForms has outlasted so many other UI toolkits is a testament to its si…

My biggest gripe with these AI film enhancements is that they are adding information that was never there. You're no longer watching the original film. You no longer have a sense o…

Very cool prototype, and a very interesting idea to sort nearby Wikipedia articles by number of pageviews. Just a note that the Wikipedia app for iOS does in fact have a map with n…

Yep, I'm also seeing a 2px scrollbar that does not expand.

In other words, touch grass?

I approach it not from a perspective of "taste" per se, but from a perspective of purity and truth. All of these techniques (AI upscaling, colorizing, interpolation, etc) are addin…

Please, for the love of god, stop with the custom scroll bars, and on the wrong side of the viewport, no less!

I literally just met Werner Herzog on a flight to Chicago the other day. He was flying coach, like a boss.

> I stay active on a Slack community of devs and creators in my country, as well as go to meet-ups and events in interesting communities How does one find these supposed Slack grou…

Love the concept, and might even consider getting one. But please, please let me have my scrollbar when browsing your website.

I don't upvote a lot, but this is well earned.

Assuming everything in the video is real, the only remaining question is: what is the actual temperature of that sample? If all of this checks out, then it's a new era.

Can I ask why we're using a special definition of "levitation" that doesn't really mean levitation? I'm finding it very annoying to click headlines that say "Levitation of LK-99!",…

In what sense were any of them nut jobs? All of these were traditionally pedigreed scientists, doing groundbreaking research at their institutions, under their own names. I'm askin…

Can you give an example? I'm struggling to think of historical comparisons. I suppose I can think of a couple of "unlikely" achievers: - Ramanujan: if he lived today, I could imagi…

That may be true, but I'm not seeing 999 other people with geeky interests reporting their failed attempts. We are, however, starting to see actual labs reporting negative results.…

Don't get me wrong, I want to believe (tm) as much as anyone, but this particular part of the story has a lot working against it: * This person is anonymous (account created in Apr…

The "demonstration" is a photo of a single crumb of material inside a transparent pipette. It's claimed that the crumb is "levitating" inside the pipette, but what's stopping a ran…

It seems to be based loosely on this preprint from 2018: https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.09376 ...which was never peer-reviewed or reproduced. The authors of the patent are also not phy…

For sure, but it's a bit weirder than that: 1) They applied for the patent in 2021, long before the current hype coming from Korea. 2) The patent was officially granted by the Pate…
