Awesome. Thanks for the info here. I have a couple of useful Logitech peripherals too. It should be quite useful.

I don't quite understand the images that are included here...

Though they're interesting and eye-catching.

I feel like they've got something related to the tool... but are they simply for decoration?

This is great. Thanks so much for putting this together. It works on a laptop with a so-so graphics card... But it's the first time I've ever been able to process a Gaussian splat myself.

Hmmm...

if I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning, hammer in the evening,

All over HN....

I wonder if James Earl Jones passing deserves a black banner on Hacker News...? He certainly gave life to many characters loved on Hacker News..

Very neat. I so wanted a Mac back in the day... It is amazing what can be done now with modern micro controllers. Thanks for writing it all up.

....Just one more shot of the Nokia phone from a slightly different angle... then the battery would only last one day :-)

This might work....

...But I've not worked out how to get RedBean serving up files outside of the zip... I'll get there.

P'raps LUA could manage the security for different static apps.... as you say.

If you've not got the hardware, the Canon Cat can be run in emulation mode via the Internet Archive, https://archive.org/details/canoncat

I bought Jeff Raskin's book years ago in a moment of inspiration.... His ideas were thoughtful, but perhaps impractical? That was my impression nonetheless.

Has anyone thought of doing something like this for Gitlab?

I'll browse the code and see how readily it could be converted over to working on Gitlab.... also, Gitlab has a GraphQL API available to get at various bits of data surrounding a repo.

I've not looked at this code yet, perhaps it does something similar....?

Very cool. Thanks for linking this.

This happens in Australia too. The nursing home industry here seems a little like what the article outlined for the United States.

Like anything, there are good and bad examples. Seems inevitable that there is some corruption in the spirit of it.

Don't know how you'd police that.... TLDR on the article. I'll markov summarise it and see if it thought of some ways around the bad players.

Why no RISC-V? I thought there'd be enough chips around... Virtualisation should be possible to?

This had me laughing too. Very cool. Kind of neat that this one sits right next to the meta OS article...

Cue music from the lion King ...

Can you feel the irony tonight... It's so obvious..

Huge meta corps writing a spurious OS..

What a hideous mess...

:-)

Thanks for reposting this here. I think I work in a similar way to this, but I've not written it down as a "manifesto" before like Simon has.

I'm going to be thinking about this as the Discovery Manifesto.... or maybe the autodidactaliser.

I've found it useful to reexpress foreign knowledge in a familiar setting. The magic is possibly that the learning seems fun because the familiar tool is fairly easy to use and the new information is expressed in the familiar way.

It's also good because it's not cheap dopamine, like looking over Youtube videos.... I watched a video on the 6502... I know how it works now??.. Youtubes do have their place, but not at the expense of doing more in depth thinking.

Wow. Thanks.

It is interesting indeed. One wonders if the researchers of this particular bit of work made it mandatory to go for walks at lunch and think about how their vision chunked/filtered the information it was receiving. Interesting that they "perturb" the image to get some noise involved. I'll need to read it over again.

This looks like it could be useful. Remote sensing uses feature extraction tools. Being able to upsample again would make the data a lot easier to view and interpret. Nice work.

The stats on this look good. Do any biochemists have notes that would point to it being or not being worthwhile?

Seems like a really good thinker. I'll adjust this if I get time to update it later... :-)

Neat, thanks.

The zip files have a lot in them!!!

There's a TTF, assembler for several platforms.

Amazing work. Thanks for this!!!!

...Interesting. Walt Nauta was born in Guam. His experiences might not change the forgetfulness, but nonetheless interesting to see his path into the mainstream of the US legal consciousness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Nauta

I really like that the article does its best to provide evidence with data and graphs. It's well written too. These things will be gradual, but the interest in the area is breath-taking.

jrnl link at the top of the article doesn't exist.... Is this the correct link ?

Nice idea. I like org-mode for ...nearly everything.... This looks good for the command line. Thanks

This looks interesting.

Will it fit in a backpack ?

Wonder if it could help with things like astronomy or planet to planet communication. If the receiver is quite good, that could help a great deal.

Neat. It does look just like the font I had on that terminal.... back in the day.

There's some interesting design in it.

I'd been a Delphi dev for several years. One of the funny things I share with other devs is how Universities are sometimes maligned for teaching content that is interesting and in depth, but perhaps not applicable in the real world.

I learnt Pascal in my first year of University. After a brief stint of BASIC, I fixed up a failing project using Delphi. This was the start of a long (long..) stint of Delphi programming.

I've now opted for a lower paying role to learn new skills. I'm loving it. I should have done this a long time ago, but life is what happens while you make plans.

I think one of the biggest problem older Delphi apps have is that they lock themselves in to working well in a Windows GUI environment. Early Delphi based project successes, because of quick initial deliveries (due to RAD/ROI), of mostly working applications mask the problem of a lack of architectural forethought.

I suspect a very difficult problem for most Delphi apps these days is disentangling working, legacy business logic from many sometimes very old forms and code into a more web consumable format. I've thought of starting a business to do this very thing, but others are doing this quite well I think.

The well thought out apps, that did have some reasonable architectural forethought, have probably been ported to C# by now. The apps that can't do this can be quite tricky to work with.

Working in a dynamic lang, Python, Scheme, etc. also I think allows easier shape-changing for new requirements. Whereas I think Delphi apps can get bit locked down into a way of thinking/doing tasks (GUI talking to a DB).

YMMV,. but that's my experience :-)

Yes!!!
