* ROSboard -- visualize ROS topics in the web browser -- https://github.com/dheera/rosboard Lots of things that could be done with this but a lot of robotics teams and projects got laid in the past year and it doesn't have as many users as it once did. There is also Foxglove which is a full-blown funded startup working on something similar and the more progress they make, the less motivation I have to make my FOSS pr…

In reading about your 4x5 camera back, I think the plastic lens mount might be obstructing the light going to the sensor, the angles inside such a wide format system are fairly large. If possible, I'd suggest removing it. As far as I can tell, there's no lens array on the sensor[1][2], just a normal Bayer filter. You could get a calibration frame by removing the lens with the sensor centered, and a black frame by put…

Thanks!

> I think the plastic lens mount might be obstructing the light going to the sensor

It's actually a low-profile, 3D printed thing housing a glass UV/IR cut filter. The housing is flush with the glass filter unlike the stock Pi HQ camera lens holder. Removing the UV/IR cut results in full-spectrum photos that manifest the same color shift problem which is characteristic of CRA optimization (where they deliberately put the microlenses off-center toward the edges of the sensor.

> As far as I can tell, there's no lens array on the sensor[1][2]

I thought there is a lens array on almost all Sony sensors? [2] for example lists a "CRA characteristics of recommended lens" section on page 47, but this is not the full datasheet and only goes upto page 25. I can't find the full datasheet on the public internet unfortunately.

Call Stacking is a Ruby on Rails debugger that captures everything for a given request - each method call, params/argument/return values, class name/method/line of execution. You can visibly see which method called which, as each method call is nested relative to its parent callee. In a single consolidated timeline.

https://callstacking.com/

The state of debugging is kind of in the dark ages. I bet I spend 90% of the time on a feature just trying to figure out the execution path - what method calls what other method and under what context. It only gets harder as the code base grows.

Call Stacking is an attempt to automate that discovery process.

Firefly is a programming language that aims to simplify full-stack development:

https://github.com/Ahnfelt/firefly-boot#readme

It comes with IDE support and such, and the language itself is more or less done, but there are so many other things to do before it's ready for serious work :)

https://mapofthebest.com I love food and I love travel. Naturally I decided to compile a list of all the best restaurants in the world. Still very much a work-in-progress but would love to get feedback.

This is amazing. So much easier than the official Michelin app. I’ve had the same idea to aggregate real reviews… because google reviews are pretty useless if you’re looking for special places. Bookmarked and will use!

Thanks! I struggled with the same problems. Existing search tools make it difficult to discover high-quality restaurants (either via poor UI, lack of granular filters, or low quality content). I'd be curious to hear if you have a better solution to filter/gather reviews.

Opened the site to see if I can provide some feedback. Ended up bookmarking 6 places to go check out in the city.

So glad to hear that! After building the V1, I was similarly surprised by how many new restaurants I was able to instantly discover. Even found a few spots which I'm tempted to travel for.

I’m working on a personal monitor mixer - a device musicians use the tailor their own mixes whilst recording, reducing cognitive load on the recording engineer - that integrates natively into modern AoIP deployments. I don’t know much about electronics beyond Ohm’s Law so it’s a massive learning curve. But it’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time.

Oh for sure, but since most screenplays are standardized to a point, the idea is to just use Regex to get there, then use a local version of llama 2 to finish up the classifications. Where the fun with LLMs come in, is after all the screenplays have been parsed and turned into a dataset that is trained on not just the story but also the cinematography aspects, as well since we’ve broken it down to a granular detail o…

I see where you're going with this. Elemental (motif-based) editing instead of timeline and frame based editing?

Timeline and frame based editing is the end result but this more about the elemental creation and from there, editing it into time based scene. Ive spent the last few years in the cinematography department, and most directors and director of photographers will write the scenes on flash cards and move them around and rearrange them because not every story is linear, even though we have to find a way to present every story in a linear form. And from there each scenes requires multiple angles, shots, motivations and things change so much on the fly, that a screenplay becomes a document that becomes quite dense with non-presented information.

So, I suppose the next step to this would be to parse a bunch of screenplays from different formats, into a single readable format and then train an image model on the frames of those movies we also trained the text model with screenplays on to get a cross reference of what is written down vs what is displayed visually. And we can break down the visual shots with camera movements, steadicam, dolly move etc as well as identify key props in the image model (maybe. Sounds expensive) and compare them to key props in the script. I don’t know, I’m spitballing now but a multi-modal Hollywood film producer would be kind of fun but this totally is just starting as a way to standardize the script in a granular form and to code since I’m not out on set.

Naive comment here but you could check out using a vector database for semantic searches. Check out chromadb.

i've tried a couple and probably prefer Marqo to the rest. definitely the most user-friendly pick of the bunch.

Thanks!

Like others, bookmarked. So useful, thank you. Feedback as requested: 1. It's a map of "the best", so maybe the default filter shouldn't show "ok" recommendations 2. The numbers on the pins change regularly (I'm on mobile/Firefox). Maybe the pin could indicate the source of the review, or the quality, or the restaurant type? Or not have the number at all. 3. Moving the map around reloads the pins for the viewed area,…

1. Agreed, I'll likely hide them by default. The results from Gayot/Eater are incredibly noisy, and I doubt most people are interested in seeing restaurants from Gayot's "Top 10 dog-friendly date brunch spots this holiday."

2/3. I was experimenting with numeric pins but have now switched back to pins which vary by size depending on the restaurant awards. I also increased the pin count to 50 by default. Can you try it again and see if it feels more intuitive?

I've been working on a chrome extension that let's you run python code in ChatGPT. You can see the output, see plots with matplotlib, upload and download files, use a bunch of packages, all thanks to Pyodide[0]. Basically ChatGPT's own code interpreter but worse (it's also free, you get what you pay for). It was important to me that it works completely locally and does not save any data.

It is one of my first personal projects and seeing the number of users go up makes me happy and want to keep improving it. I had to make my github repo private because I had an issue with a copycat, but I can make it public if people actually care.
