Hey folks! I have worked remotely for almost 20 years and one tool which I have used a lot is screen recordings. They do tell more than text when you have to explain a feature to a…

ScreenRecord.in: https://screenrecord.in I have worked remotely for most of my career and have found screen recording a useful tool to share ideas or ask questions. I liked the UX …

posted some details at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45150761 . happy to answer any additional queries you may have.

don't get the $5 ones, they are probably just presence detector or at best distance detector and probably work on 24Ghz. Get the 60Ghz for breathing, heart rate, posture etc.

Unfortunately no. But fortunately, it isn't something new I have built. I use a Seed Studio sensor MR60BHA2 which has an ESP32 which sends the data to Home Assistant through ESPHom…

I do it using MMWave sensor, 60Ghz one. Want to have more of them but installation is a pain as these need to be mounted on ceiling so WiFi based sensor would be awesome!

The post seems like a paid job as Engineer.ai rebranded to Builder.ai when they were accused of faking AI https://analyticsindiamag.com/ai-features/sachin-duggal-spea... https://ww…

I find the web(HTML/CSS) the most open format for sharing. PDFs are hard to be consumed on smaller devices and much harder to be read by machines. I am working on a feature at Jaun…

+1! Most LLMs can already output Mathpix markdown. I prompt it to do so and it gives the code and this use a rendering library to show the scalable and selectable equations. No won…

both openai and claude vision models are able do that for me. It is more expensive than tesseract which can run on cpu but I assume it will become similarly cheap in the near futur…

Segmenting at lower resolution and then using them at higher resolution using resolution multipliers don't work as other items bleed in. FastSAM paper has some interesting ideas on…

How to segment the document without LLM? I prefer to do all of this in 1 step with an LLM with a good prompt and few shots. With so many passes with images, the costs/time will be …

nougat, donut are OSS. There are no OSS vision models but we will soon have them. MathPix API are also not OSS and I found them expensive compared to vision models. Mathpix Markdow…

Maybe you could try extracting the text also using some pdf text extraction and use that also to compare. Might help fix numbers which tesseract gets wrong sometimes.

In my experience, this works well but doesn't scale to all kinds of documents. For scientific papers; it can't render formulas. meta's nougat is the best model to do that. For invo…

Your posts are awesome! They helped me get started on my journey. Thanks!

Rate limits are present in chat apps to prevent the service from being abused. Notification tools don't have that.

Why use Slack? Slack has rate limits and one will not get the notifications when something real goes down as there will be 100s of messages overloading Slack API.

Thanks for RailsCasts Ryan! A few days back I read a thread on how ruby/rails is losing junior devs because of the complexity/can of worms docs of Rails 7. I believe it is because …

Genius! I have scheduled emails to be sent exactly 1 day, 2 day... later so that it goes at similar times, never did I think to separate out the time part and generalise it for the…

ESP32 are great! The best use case for me is using them as bluetooth repeaters. I use ESPHome and its configs for most devices. For some ble devices, I use nrglogger on my Android …
