Wait, you actually have an empty building/area the size of a typical custom design home? Aren't those typically rather huge? Do you partition the previews?

Seems a bit like "the internet" in the 90s. That fad will never go anywhere.

I recently tried https://talonvoice.com/ with an old Tobii Eye Tracker 4C. Worked decently well. The main issue was that the gaze itself is not very predictable/stable.

$20 Pro plans are still BS starter plans anyway, right? I blew through that in an hour when I first tested out Claude Code.

I was confused about this a few hours ago. Why did I still have Fable 5 on my Max plan today? Am I getting billed per token, eek? (No.) This is the message in in the claude [code] cli: Fable 5 is now a standard part of your Max plan

No, this is engagement-maxxing style journalism. Complete with the clickbait headline. It also spends almost no time on why the cheaper-but-dumber options win. (Everything is relative. I expect more from IEEE than the NYP or the Daily Mail

I think this was about two separate events in 1994: Among the allegations: that the NSA fed information to Boeing and McDonnell Douglas enabling the companies to beat out European Airbus Industrie for a $ 6 billion contract; and that Rayth

To clarify: not MD5 itself. It was created in 1991 by Ron Rivest. (It is my experience that knowledge of these things isn't as widely distributed as one might hope.) I first came across it in 1995/1996: Wow, what a magical tool fo

In Swedish news reports they were careful to specify that it was the "English mile" (sic, ish?). For clarity, the one that is used in UK, US and Liberia. It is exactly 1609.344 meters. Disambiguation (not readily available in no

This 1980 style was also lovely. I rebuilt this model a few years ago - these instructions strike the balance just right. They make you think. https://lego.brickinstructions.com/lego_instructions/set/886...

It probably eventually wasn't deemed important enough for that phase. In 1999 when Comic Chat ended they pivoted to their completely proprietary MSN Messenger service instead, with a stronger focus on individual-to-individual. This cam

Open sourcing code is always welcome. However it's kind of weird that you choose this very explicit 1996 Embrace, extend, and extinguish piece of software to showcase. In this case it was IRC. In other cases it was Java, the web, etc
