I've been to the Altamira cave reproduction and I was skeptical at first on whether I'd feel immersed but they've done an incredible job of it. You quickly forget it's "fake" and s…

On a similar note, for this August's total solar eclipse (in Europe), I 3D modelled the sun's position in the sky from the viewpoint that I am planning to go to. The eclipse will h…

Here's the link to the repo: https://github.com/petargyurov/virtual-bookshelf And you can take a look at my blog repo to see how I've used it with Jekyll: https://github.com/petarg…

Back in 2022, my little virtual bookshelf made the rounds on HN [0]. Since then, quite a few people have implemented it into their own sites. Well, 4 years later I decided to push …

This is fantastic, great work. I will attempt to run it on my 16GB M1 but I doubt it'll run. Out of curiosity, how did you go about replacing the CUDA specific ops? Any resources y…

I recently built Cranki [0], a free little PWA that generates crosswords using your Anki flashcard lists. It's aimed at language learners (who find flashcards boring and crossword …

Hi HN! In the last couple of weeks I've been working on Cranki: Cranki = Crosswords + Anki. (It's a stupid name tbh, haha) I like doing crosswords in Spanish (to learn vocab) but n…

Hi HN! I am sure most of you have heard of Anki flashcards? Using spaced-repetition is one of the best ways to learn more vocabulary when learning a language. However, I find flash…

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, it's more of a flashcard-crossword rather than a real crossword. I will have a think about how I can make the clues more interesting. I wanted to mak…

I like this but after 3-4 messages I got the AI to agree that my flight should be refunded yet the confidence was not zero. The tips just said to keep explaining why the particular…

At my job [0] we work in this exact space, but on the data analytics side of things. We build computer vision pipelines for corrosion, components, defects, etc. We process imagery …

It's easy but it's not cheap. Well, price is relative but capturing video is certainly cheaper. Also, I am not sure how heavy LIDAR units are, but remember that the heavier the pay…

Love it :) I also rate the author's slogan: "make things, not too much, mostly crap". A reference to Michael Pollan's "eat food, not too much, mostly veg".

You aren't the one deciding what is a crime and what isn't.

Hi HN, I wanted to share my team's side project! We like to do R&D projects and investigate new areas, interesting problems, etc. This application visualises the dynamic interplay …

I too have fond memories of my dad driving me around in our navy blue Lada. Not sure what the model was, but it was the one with rectangular headlights, not round. The chassis on t…

No privacy policy. No terms and conditions. No thanks. And that's on top of the already questionable product.

Looks nice. Would be way more convenient to use if I could just do `?` in the command line after a failed command. I suppose one could create an alias. Regarding your README, I wou…

Anyone remember that one time, a year or so ago, when some company teased a physics based generative model which showcased a drop of water sliding down a beer bottle and the model …

I think it already has. We'll get more incremental updates and nice features: * more context size * less hallucinations * more prompt control (or the illusion of) But we won't get …

On this episode of "Trying to make AI useful"... Seriously, who's idea was this? It can't be a money saving feature; surely it costs more to upscale all these videos than to just h…

Yeah I think you're right. You can see it early on that there's just too many connections to make sense of it easily. I wonder if 3D clustering would allow for more space.
