Heh. I remember when I first started learning violin, and one of the real gotchas was that, because of your head’s perspective relative to the violin and the bow, even something as simple as keeping the bow perpendicular to the bridge is d

This. I've given serious thought to building a native Mac (swift) app thats a cross between the speed of Sublime with the toggleable WYSIWYG markdown capabilities of Obsidian.

Yours is quite nice too! Letting me rotate a piece 90' with the mousewheel was a nice touch~

Nice job. I built the same thing about a year ago - animated jigsaw puzzles that are setup as "cinemagraphs", aka seamless repeating videos. It lets you upload your own GIFs/MP4 files as well but includes about 7 original one

oh good call - Violentmonkey is what I meant. That's my script from when I was previously using tampermonkey but it works identically in VM. https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey

Assuming you can run Tampermonkey, you can use my script which I've adapted to hide both the score and the username. It’s a script I personally use because I don’t like seeing my score since it just feels like a silly number, and I’d r

I think they're being silly, but it's a pretty common trope: comparing the weird, sometimes highly idiosyncratic syntactical constructs of programming languages to a series of magical incantations. Lev Grossman wrote an entire boo

Nice. Related, I also love exploring different ways to visualize time, so a few months back I came up with twelve variations arranged in the form of an actual clock that you can click through to see each one. Each one presents a different t

That might be true, but I never met a ME/EE major who wasn’t passionate about their craft. Not once. Anecdotal in my experience, but that also used to be the case for most CS majors back when I graduated... but that was well before t

Yeah given Google's order of progression NB NB Pro NB 2 A lot of us are still expecting Google to drop a Pro version of NB 2 but that hasn't happened yet...

Wow, you weren't kidding. Apparently, he (Dave Plummer) ran an entire company that used deceptive scare tactics to try to coerce consumers into buying his "anti-malware" software. https://www.atg.wa.gov/news&#

It really was an incredible tool especially for RAD. One of my first "professional" gigs was in highschool porting an old CAD program written for VB-DOS over to VB 3.0. Sure as hell beat the landscaping work I did over the previou

Nice job. Small bit of feedback: - Consider rotating the angle of the projectile so that it is oriented in the direction of its movement - I think it would look a bit nicer.

I’m partial to SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE mostly because it makes me giggle when I picture it.

To a degree. There are plenty of well-known public tests that have been around since SD 1.5 that I'd have to say if companies are trying to "game" they’re failing pretty badly (wine glass filled to the brim, the inverted pian

Krea-2 is fantastic. If you can get around the restrictive license, output speed, and JSON prompting, Ideogram 4 probably comes the closest to SOTA models. See my profile for GenAI Showdown, where it's benched against other local and p

That arena leaderboard has some questionable results. Anyone who's used these models would know that ranking HiDream above Krea2 is a pretty hot take. Many of these ELO comparative tests (ArtificialAnalysis is guilty as hell on this as

You can set aspect ratios with NB2 Lite programmatically through Vertex [1]. I updated the program I use to help create all the images for GenAI Showdown, set the model ID to `gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image`, and was able to use aspect ratios

Yeah. It's an unfortunate reality but anything non-nVidia CUDA is effectively a second-class citizen where a lot of this generative stuff is concerned (though AMD with ROCm is getting better).

It is, and if you can switch, it’s highly recommended. I have some pretty bespoke old RS-232 Windows software that was an absolute disaster to get working under Debian with Wine a few years back, so I (and others) might still need to keep a

My only caveat is that I’m not sure how it handles multiplayer games that require anti-cheat or DRM-style mechanisms, but it’s been flawless with every title I’ve thrown at it so far (BG3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk, Ori, etc)

Haha yeah, the site automatically assigns the term to any benchmark that fewer than 25% of the tested models are able to pass. What’s more surprising to me is that, unlike the “pelican riding a bicycle” whose objectivity has been slightly

This. It's amazing how many people fail to figure this out. There are plenty of environments (coffee shops, libraries, etc.) where bloviating out loud is considered a breach of basic etiquette.

Results are in! This is a really impressive showing especially given how fast the Turbo model at 8 steps. The only locally hostable model that managed to outperform it was Ideogram 4 which is significantly slower (think minutes vs seconds).

Neat! Between Ideogram4, Flux2, Qwen-Image, ZiT, and Krea - there's been a lot of positive movement in the open-weights space. The original Flux.1 Krea is actually in my GenAI Showdown benchmark site from all the way back in July of la
