Interesting & available libraries implementing parts of this particular vision (mentioned in the talk): - Google's Firebase (meh, though maybe Supabase is mature enough by now to replace this suggestion?) - Tinybase: https:/&

So it’s not possible to interface with Metal or the Accelerate framework on macOS using pure C? I’ve found some outdated C wrappers for metal but nothing up to date, and wondered if something in the later versions assumed Swift or Objective

I have a remarkable v2, and I don't use their online services. I just wanted to replace a pen-and-paper notebook, and read occasional PDFs on it. It works fine as an ereader and brilliantly as an e-notebook. If better hardware is the k

I'm not "shocked" by that accusation. I don't dispute the tax haven allegation, though we're likely to agree to the tax changes. Here's a recent story from the meeting between the Irish and French leaders. The

Sure. We're undermining every EU regulation. 100%. It's like a national Irish pastime! And the EU is a clique that can shun members at will, and Germany is a moral exemplar to us all. Do you really think like this?

I don't have the expectation that putting 2D photos onto a 3D would magically work. I expect to need to convert them (it's a bit much to assume that I would think otherwise). I don't expect to have to buy credits to convert t

There's no mention anywhere on their product page that you'll need to pay additional fees to convert 2d images to 3d to display them, or that you can perform this service yourself with a bit less convenience (which I'd be per
