The tech industry bodies need to look in the mirror at themselves rather ferociously. These usb, smart, hdmi bodies are failing the consumers, failing sustainable practices and just smell like poorly run bodies.

Looks nice and make be helpful. Keep in mind I can’t and most people can’t install this in a corp environment. If you get a pip install or npm install I’d be able to use it through corporate mirrors internally. Make it as easy to run as som

You seem knowledgeable in this space. I’ve researched scanners for only scanning old prints but get mixed messages. What would be your advice on a scanner for this purpose to get 90% good enough… epson 650/700?

I would love one of these too. However, being in Singapore I was not in position to drop 152k (SGD) or 113k (USD)[0] on one. [0] https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_listing.php?MOD=S...

I am surprised the size of their study where they made conclusions was only 118 ppl. I would have thought a much larger study is required.

This why I’d consider shorting NVIDA at these prices. I get there are use case where it really adds value, but I think they are more limited to specific fields than people are acknowledging and forecasting. The general public doesn’t want o

Tangential but I looked at the codebase - because I like to imagine I can code (I can’t) - and for a laymen, I could follow the code. Makes me think quite positively of go lang and of the dev for designing in such a way. Can understand why

The lack of support and lack of agitation by the Australian Government on both sides of parliament is a testament to how bad Australian politics is. He was an Australia citizen left out to dry. Disgraceful.

I haven’t seen it being used anywhere in big corporates (+20k employees) at all. I attempted it once and stop as I found error checking impossible, source control impossible and ability to see code changes impossible - compared to a simple

Same theory would apply - charge the producers of these products a cost - no matter a plastic bottle, a plastic nappy or a plastic medical device.

Why can’t we just start charging producers of waste a direct cost. If we charged producers (McDonald’s, coke, Pepsi, supermarket, uniliver etc) $1 for every plastic bottle they used, we’d have a budget for clean up and a change in motivatio

I am inclined to believe this as well. Originally from Australia, it’s extremely prevalent to talk about “mental health” see “mental health campaigns” and have “mental health” promotion days. I wonder if talking about it so much make people

I integrated the perspective js into the datasette.io as a plugin as I was dealing with a larger number of rows. Its not bad. The map by GPS isn't as great as Kepler.gl, and for some reason, perspective doesn't work so well in co

I set up two years ago a cron to screenshot every minute. Just did the second phase of using ocrmac (vision kit cli on GitHub) that extracts text and dumps it in a SQLite with FTS5. It’s simplistic but does the job for now. I looked at redu

Adjacent topic, my prediction over the next 18 months that public perception of Apple will start to shift into the next wave - similar to what happened to Microsoft in the early 2000s. Seems the winds are aligning but again- a half thought

The view that I have formed is that we all have regrets. Anyone who claims they don’t is blinded by ego. That claim is only possible if every decision they made was the right one - at the time and with hindsight. Clearly, that is not possib
