I am productionizing a golang project which I have working ... it parses an input image at the pixel level to synthesize its audio equivalent ... inspired by a 3Blue1Brown video on Hilbert Curves ... as it traverses the entire image pixel by pixel it assigns to each pixel an audio frequency which it increments for next pixel ... in doing so it collapses the 2D image into a 1D line of pixels ... then it engages audio…

#422Working on Lungy: https://www.lungy.app It's an interactive breathing app (responds when you breathe). Initially for stress & anxiety, we're developing a medical device (SaMD) for asthma + COPD.
Reminds me of Breathscape [1], a former colleague's biofeedback-driven generative audio app. [1] https://www.breathscape.com

What these reptilians do is only think about themselves. If you're invited for dinner it doesn't mean that somebody owes you a meal. It means somebody wanted to make a nice gesture towards you and get to know you more intimately, perhaps to discuss important things. You eat something before you go, because it's not about the food. You can ask about the ingredients when you are at the table.
So people with allergies shouldn't tell the people who will be preparing food for them about their allergies before the food is served?
I've noticed that these kind of social rules and politeness has been increasingly lost in people, and it is because of widespread narcissism. It's "me, me, me". The result is that people don't invite each other to dinners or other social gatherings, and everybody is worse off because of that.

#427A new terminal emulator [0] from scratch. It's native and cross-platform for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This is a product with a history of overpromising on the release date, but I'm being more realistic with the roadmap and streaming progress on Twitch. If it helps think of it as the indie, non-AI version of Warp [1]. [0] https://terminal.click [1] https://warp.dev
How is the privacy aspect? Does it use ChatGPT? Do you support any local LLMs?

I know it's crass, but why? Aren't terminals good enough
I wish somebody built an emulator as fast as xterm and as configurable as something like kitty. Until then, xterm it is.
Of all tested terminals xterm is faster only than konsole.

#430Long-term (decades), no-subscription archival storage. Essentially, you buy a block of space, upload your data over time, and it gets distributed when you need it (if you lost a primary backup), or on your death (to friends and relatives, or whoever you choose), or on a specific future date. It's a mashup of a safety deposit box, time capsule, and deadman switch. It's not ready yet, but will be ready in a few weeks.…
I worked on this in 2018/19. It's a really hard problem, and the only people I've found doing it at scale is a small Norwegian company called https://piql.no . They encode large files into film and store it in the Arctic World Archive - and they did GitHub's Arctic Code Vault. DNA storage is interesting, though can be damaged by radiation. Would love to see where you land with this project - it's one of the few cases…
NIST has some great reviews of the stability of optical media, and it’s quite good, done for the library of Congress.
DNA storage would enable some pretty crazy storage density, but ensuring there’s a compatible reader around in 30 years might be difficult
