Cool, but how does it work if you have multiple windows in one app?

I used hammerspoon for something similar, but it worked on the window title. So, I could add custom titles to my chrome/iterm/code windows, and switch by pressing a shortcut and then typing 1-4 letters to match the title. It was my favorite window management UI for my work laptop with an absurd amount of tabs open.

Not THAT kind of boom

Humanoid robotics

I agree with the sentiment in theory, but the time pressures of adult life make this difficult.

I suspect Mr Feynman would have phrased this a bit differently if he had first-hand experience with the modern front-end technology treadmill.

A cochlea doesn't really spatially disperse the frequencies, though, right? Rather, the isolated frequencies are extremely localized within the coil, and the hearing receptors are each located at the one point where they need to be.

This object is sort of an eversion of a cochlea. Perhaps it could be made with a "nice" shape, but I wouldn't assume so.

I'm amazed that worked for even one shot. Presumably gp was referring to cornershot or something similar, which seems like a much more reasonable approach.

The nature of "being unsure" often inherently precludes being aware of that unsureness. Some companies are well known to exploit this basic fact of existence.

One of the main draws of Amazon for me is that I can buy a piece of hardware, try to install it on my house/bike/project/whatever, and if it's physically incompatible in some unpredictable way I can return it. This enables certain things that are just not possible with the selection available in local stores. I realize this probably does not account for a large portion of Amazon returns though.

Seems like it's only worth the cost of the change if it removes all three verbose lines per check, this only removes one.

This is a great point for the comparisons it invites. But it doesn't seem relevant to the questions around what is possible with electromechanical systems.

The title is a cute shortening of "Attention Is All You Need wasn't all we needed"

Thanks for the link, I have also grumbled about these issues, but never thought to look for a workaround library on top of numpy...

The standards that already exist? Is there some special meaning of "drafted" here?

Mainly because the interfaces for tabs, bookmarks, and history are all quite disparate instead of being unified like they should be. None of them are good, but the interface for tabs is more manageable.

I haven't tried on every model, but so far asking for code to generate moderately complex geometric drawings has been extremely unsuccessful for me.

For fb app users (most) I think bookmarks are irrelevant.

Cool - it's nearly a subset of Jumble, which I prefer because of the secondary mechanism of solving a pun to guess backwards.

I'm not sure about the real etymology, but I suppose a rule (line) is a special case of a rule (instruction): things should be aligned with this line.

Would you prefer if we started using words like aiThinking and aiReasoning to differentiate? Or is it reasonable to figure it out from context?

> improvements which become easier to develop because of the increased understanding of the problems they are seeking to solve.

Surely this is aided by ever more sophisticated computational models? Maybe not the dominant factor in Moore's law, but maybe not negligible?

Cool. Looks like your tracks are lined up with streets, what's the precision problem?

As I get older, I accept that nothing humans make can last without maintenance, and that for computer systems in our growth economy, that maintenance has to be equivalent to change.

It sucks, but the repeated aggravation of broken expectations is worse.

I have been working, slowly, toward a way to do something like this, for years. My latest attempt (http://alanbernstein.net/galleries/2020-pecos/) is not professional or polished, but it does work. IIRC it is canvas rather than SVG, and the "animation" is driven by the photo slideshow.

Tangentially, I find that the bulk of the work is in compiling and prepping the assets, including multiple camera devices, incorrect timestamps, buggy rotation exif data, captions from multiple sources, GPS tracks from multiple sources...

Thanks for asking here, I'm looking forward to finding a better way to do it.

Looks nice. Any suggestions for a similar graphical tool for Linux?

This might have been written just for me, I love the premise.

I am truly fascinated by people who attempt to reproduce the actual physiological vision effects of psychedelic drugs.

Psychoactive drugs can be probes into the inner workings of our minds - in some scientific sense - and exploring the vision effects seems likely to suggest interesting things about how our visual system works.

Mostly, I am just impressed when anyone is able to capture the visual experience in graphical effects, with any level of realism.

I have an Iwiss tool, and it sort of works for me. My problem is that it seems to require three hands to operate: one for the wire, one for the contact, one for the tool. I have tried holding the tool between my knees, I found ways to delicately hold the wire and contact in place with one hand, and close the crimper with the other, but it never feels ergonomic. I often just end up using pliers instead.

It seems to me that these tools should be designed as tabletop or bench-mounted devices, so you can push the wire+contact in from the front with both hands, crimp, then pull out.

I must be missing something, because all the tools are this form factor, and I don't see much discussion of the actual "how to crimp properly", i.e. the physical actions. What am I doing wrong?

For the live-action, logical conclusion of this concept, watch HYPER-REALITY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs

Thanks for sharing. I use Firefox partly to support open source and/or degoogle a bit, but I'm also mostly pretty happy with the multi-device sync features. Any support for that stuff in nyxt? Or if not, do you use anything else for them?

I don't know about this specific example, but the concept is sometimes referred to as the "euphemism treadmill", which suggests a sort of cyclical nature to it.
