This is an odd take that might seem privileged, but: sales or coupons. Digital or physical. If a company is offering a discount, sale, coupon, etc., they've done the math and determined the reduction in revenue to them is offset by you

To give proper credit: I don’t work at Board now, I just helped them explore the board game piece detection space over a year ago. The tech has done great work since then, really robustifying the detection algorithm and making experiences n

I love the intense concentration for martial arts, but I had to stop because of this. I never had a serious injury. Instead it would be minor injuries, that would make my ring finger 20% less responsive, that would totally mess up my typing

(Disclosure: I worked on both) Detection technology on Board is much more robust. The MS Surface FTIR approach was lovely, but so over-featured no one could imagine a scoped-down (ie. cheaper) version of it.

I've been following this stream since I discovered it as my post-NYE activity around 4 am at the beginning of 2024. It's been a joy since then.

A helpful, and snarky, critique of the majestic rhetoric around “cloud computing” was to mentally replace “cloud” with “someone else’s computer”. When thinking through a claim of what AI can do, you can do the same. “AI” -> “just some gu

This is similar to an old HCI design technique called Wizard of Oz by the way, where a human operator pretends to be the app that doesn’t exist yet. It’s great for discovering new features. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

For a subset of the population, this will have an inverse incentive. To support those people, perhaps have a toggle that requires them to say “I’m a good person”?

I think this seems like an interesting point, but one would also need to take into account indoor ventilation, which has gotten much better over the last couple centuries.

I am a person who loves building and testing new interaction models. When you do this as a team, you end up climbing away from the main local maxima and building a new one. However, you get so used to living in that new local maxima and thi

How often do you see yourself updating and editing a particular video clip over time? For a given video, do you find all the relevant clips when you first save it to disk? Or are you accumulating video clips for a source video over time? I’

How do you think of this work relative to other organizing systems like Jellyfin or Plex? Is the major new feature you care about the time subsection clips?

Was your motivation just for aesthetic reasons? I’m asking because I’m in the midst of a computer vision project where I am testing an algorithm for robustness, and will start building out a synthetically worsened data pipeline.

Since I've started using Jupyter notebooks, I've wanted a feature to "undo" running a cell. This feels so important to for spontaneous exploration. This work feels like an important building block for this!

I've found AI to be useful on precisely-scoped tasks I might assign to a junior programmer to take a day to do, like "convert this exact bash script to a Powershell script". But in my own work, those tasks are pretty rare, li
