I've started doing this more. The videos of my work has always outlasted the work itself. Even though technically I can dig up old compilers or try and update my dependencies, I rarely do. So whatever was captured in the video becomes

If you want automatic archiving, check out https://irchiver.com/ for Windows. It runs on client-side so gets an archive from your point of view, i.e. including Facebook content and partially-filled out forms, etc.

Fair point, it's something I'm aware of and it's a bit intentional to counterbalance the "normalization bias" already done in other rankings, if that's what you meant by "account for differences". To

I've been looking at the bias in rankings for a little while. I think one way to identify and raise awareness of the biases, is just put rankings together side-by-side. I did this for computer science programs, and there's some in

Nice idea, I could imagine using this. Just a thought, it might be nice to see more variation in the Lorem Ipsum, like with text that include numbers and links and capitalized word, maybe even multiple paragraphs.

irchiver captures text on the page, and separately OCRs the screenshots (specifically, the screenshot from your viewport). So you can search just what was shown on the page, or what was in the page. Both techniques have pros and cons. While

The Leap Motion still does hand tracking better than MediaPipe, and it's still the best hand tracker I know of (besides larger devices like the Oculus Quest). We've got an open source library for mobile hand-object input [ https:&

I'm not the developer, but he (Jesse) spoke in my class over a year ago. So hopefully I'm conveying this correctly -- my impression is he felt it was pretty close for live jamming but depends on a lot of conditions (ping latency,

Thanks for checking about the numbers. I did just double check the Maryland numbers, and what's in my table seems correct: The 25K you're referring to is for 9.5-months so is normalized to 9 months to compare against the other 9-m

I recently collected the first-year PhD stipends in computer science across 39 university departments, to have a real sense of the numbers. Basically to have a fair comparison, because a lot of reported stipends aren't clear whether th

My phone already has av1 hardware decoding (pixel 6). But anyway it's a chicken/egg problem, where the broader hardware decoding will come once browser support is there. The long-term impacts are more significant. Also, energy use

While we're making wishlists for Safari, the one I think would have the most real world impact is AV1 support, to have a modern royalty-free codec across all browsers if Safari adds it. Safari is the last holdout. Considering the large

It's definitely a consideration. The way I think of AR is: AR/VR headset = desktop AR glasses (2025+) = laptop phone AR = phone So phone AR has ergonomic challenges kind of like the small screen and slow speeds that smartphones ha

So I'm a minor contributor to the posted project. And my personal opinion is that phone AR and headset AR will be completely different use cases. Phones are everywhere because they fit in your pocket. Headsets never will, so will be sp

Yes, definitely! I've raised chickens for many years in the city, always 2-4 hens. You get enough eggs for yourself, and they're pretty easy even if you do some light traveling. Some breeds are better with humans, while others rat
