fast but not smart. Fine for non-critical "I need this query" or "summarize this" but it's pretty much worthless for real coding work (compared to gpt-5 thinking or sonnet 4)

thanks for making this! I'd love to use the microphone key (fn + mic) to trigger Handy but even after turning off dictation it doesn't seem like the system allows that key to be used (I get a dialog prompting me to turn on dictati

I know this book is a first hand account from Esslinger himself, but aside from your quoted passage, I've never seen Snow White refer to a specific color, only to the design language itself. Even the other mentions of Snow White in his

Thanks, I understand how stereograms work and have quite a few of these IRL. I use cross-eyed method to quickly view them (albeit inverted depth) when shown on screen. I've tried to show my point in these videos which show basically no

Here are some videos trying to show what I mean. I overlapped the two images on top and crossfaded between the two. Aside from some minor distortion I don't see any major differences normally found between stereo pairs. https:/&#

by JeremyHerrman 1y ago
yes understood that cross-eyed method inverts the depth. My point was that some of the image pairs are from the exact same perspective - so there is no stereo depth no matter if you're using cow-eyed or cross-eyed.

Is it just me or are some of these examples not actually stereo image pairs? I'm just crossing my eyes to see the "negative" depth image but some like "McLean’s House" and "Lincoln visits General McClellan at A

Couldn't agree more. Moving a file from one folder to another has a huge delay. Dragging files for spring loaded folders doesn't work well anymore. As a user since System 7 it's so sad to see.

Sure, computers grew in popularity throughout the 90s but I wouldn't call them uncommon in the early 90s - they were all over the place especially in schools. My kindergarten classroom had an Apple II in 1989. Our first grade classroom

As a 14 year old in 1998, I was the sole computer user in my family and my parents wouldn't let me have internet access. Of course, that didn't stop me and I used ad-supported free ISPs like K-mart Blue Light (yes, K-Mart had an i

Is anyone using local LLMs to manage their email? This seems like it could be helpful to hook that up.

VLMs like PaliGemma and Florence-2 support object detection and segmentation, so it's becoming more common to have YOLO like capabilities built into VLMs. Another benefit of VLMs which support object detection is that they are open voc

VLMs so far have never been good at counting objects or spatial relationships (e.g. the coffee is to the right of the microwave). There are ways to help the VLM out - Set of Marks [0] from Microsoft being the most prominent, which uses segm

For years I wondered why electron orbitals are shaped the way they are - for instance why does the 3d orbital have two lobes and a donut? Only after learning about spherical harmonics did it finally click from an intuitive sense. Münster Un

Same here! Spherical harmonics finally explained why the 3d orbital has the donut shape. Why isn't this taught in high school?!
