Nice, is there a physical clock that works this way?

I'll be more forgiving: I found it gets confused easily when it extracts text from a PDF because datasheets tend to be written in a not so parseable way for a machine. But 1) if yo…

The success of AI doesn't hinge on whether you can vibecode it all or even one particular sector really well. For example, despite several attempts to make vibecoding PCBs, it's st…

They give out the subscription by default, and if they find your use case interesting enough they'll give you credits. Not sure if there's an upper limit, but I would be surprised …

Anyone know what Matt Mackall is up to these days? He started Mercurial and got people involved early on with a lot of enthusiasm, you could tell he cared about what he created and…

Humans will not win in court with a "but the agent did it, I had no idea" argument. Just look at how the cases against OAI are going, and that's where families lose a loved one. Th…

The recipe for these model wrapper companies is 1. enter a space before the big ones do, 2. provide a nice enough wrapper that gets you customers, 3. survive until a bigger fish co…

It doesn't have to work 100% of the time to be a successful scam.

Not very much. There's an interview lead that is supposed to make sure no question overlaps happen. They will sometimes comment on the chosen question (e.g. asking an unrelated que…

What did you use to create the screencast at https://www.fill3d.ai/ ?

I build popular split ergo keyboards with integrated pointing devices: https://holykeebs.com/

They will change the lives of people who can't drive, that's pretty meaningful.

Thank you!

Yes exactly. This device is a mini exercise bicycle, it has half a dozen buttons and LEDs with a UART enabled chip that orchestrates everything. I'd like to make it controllable vi…

Not really sure how you drew that conclusion.

is Zephyr a good option in a project that aims to expose a UART device through BLE using an nrf52x chip? At a glance it seems pretty low level, capable and possibly overkill. If no…

On a micro scale it's a nice gesture, macro wise it could be seen as inauthentic and meaningless. There's a comparison to be made to choosing to stay in the matrix or unplug yourse…

It's common to see tutorial videos use a different cursor that also reacts to clicks, eg. https://ghost.org/videos/themes.mp4 How is this done?

No it's not, in the same way that an email provider doesn't want to deliver spam to its users.

It's pretty hard to learn a new keyboard layout on a regular keyboard, let alone replace the typing experience with chords (multiply this by the number of languages you use). The r…

Nice, but tools are only one thing to miss about development at Google (or any other of the FAANGs). I found the more meaningful thing is the ecosystem of smart engineers, and the …

The cynicism towards the folks who worked on this at Google is a bit over the top in this thread. While most of the criticism is justified, I'd like to point out something that mig…

The title the author chose does a bit of injustice to the contents of the post. The post uses a lot of words to describe an understanding that experienced engineers and managers sh…

Google's search results were great even before they knew your every move on the web. Some would argue it got worse.

What are some practical uses of a Lidar on a phone? Are there any that would be considered game changing in the present ecosystem? Asked another way: do I care about having a Lidar…
