can we use pretext by Cheng Lou to make dynamic video masks?

YEP! w/ sampling each frame, detecting light/dark regions, then reflowing text into those shapes in realtime we get this cool realtime effect.

and ofc i did it with The Matrix first.

I quietly re-launched ReadTheBias a few weeks ago.

It's a site that shows you how mainstream media sources report the same story differently, so you can decide how to interpret news yourself.

My goal isn't to get political but I built this because honestly... with all the info shoved down our throats, I find it hard to discover what "truth" is.

anywho.. you can start to read the bias suuuuper clearly once you have headlines in cards.

Super cool. Great collection in a clear visual setup. (I love map interfaces).

Quick note:

I went to utmost top of the map and clicked the (2) near Greenland. Quite clunky to actually get there as the map moved in and out. Selecting "Kap Erik Bunch" led me to the ArcGIS REST Services Directory with errors:

Unable to complete operation. Unable to perform query operation

Still cool. Just sharing some user testing :)

Hey folks. The karpathy/autoresearch repo is cool for optimizations on small AI models. What if we applied that to just about anything quantifiable?

This CLI sets up the scaffolding for that automatically. It helps users generate a setup.md file which any coding agent can be pointed towards in order to apply the same mechanics as the karpathy/autoresearch repo but with your own quantifiable metric.

canvay is an experiment on computer human interaction & the future of IDEs.

Why build this? Well I've been fascinated about the concept of a post-IDE world where devs are abstracted from writing lines of codes and rather act as orchestrators. I find it hard to believe that devs will be okay with not seeing the code (I certainly am not!), and this UI/UX seems like a fun one.

Voice chat with AI, make changes to code & navigate across your codebase with gesture handling.

Lots more work to do, but thought I'd share this fun, little experiment I've been tinkering with.

Was it this Geoffrey Hinton paper? It was in Scientific American in 1993.

either this is the world's biggest grift OR the 2nd greatest product of the 21st century... so far.

to the person who's cursor I chased around for more than a couple of minutes, I don't know why I did that and I apologize.

great suggestion. definitely going to implement

anyone know how much it costs to use the deployed version of gemma 3n? The docs indicate you can use the gemini api for deployed gemma 3n but the pricing page just shows "unavailable"

I'm in the middle of this right now.. Handover would be super helpful. Cool concept. Kind of reminds me of I Robot where you can ask specific queries to holograms

That's a fair question and point. I'm not die-hard Cursor fan. Use what works best for you, but I'm just more so commenting that the vibe-coding part totally minimizes what the offering is.

I doubt it. Cursor is an IDE with an ai co-pilot deeply integrated into it. They've literally changed the paradigm of software development by making ai-assisted coding feasible. The vibe-coding mention is reductive imo.

Another way of looking at it: Maker of "pricey electronic typewriter", Apple hits $9B valuation (FT 1984)

pretty reductive

Wow, AI 'vibe coding' app? What a reductive statement on what Cursor is.

Apologies if I'm missing something, but aren't you describing Cursor/Copilot/Windsurf?

hahaha I wish you almost didn't include the parenthesis. I've had some clients who would definitely email me that point #1.

Definitely agree, but I'm surprised Perplexity wasn't mentioned in this post. It's currently Perplexity Vs. Google

This is so well done. Very interested in new UIs with LLMs. Great work.

How's it work under the hood?

I was pleasantly surprised to see the .js. THANK YOU!!

I don't have an answer for your questions but this comment really stood out to me. Maybe it's just my years in tech, but I have never thought of conflict resolution in the context of a tech problem to solve. The only format of this I can think of is anonymous forums or communications tech. Otherwise, it's very out of the box thinking which is great to see.

Thanks so much for the feedback - super valuable!! I added a sample button on the homepage that links to an example entry and also am working on the mobile UI.

Literally, the next 3 words from the quote answers your question.

> What is Postman? It's a tool that allows you to configure, save, and replay HTTP requests.

Thanks for the comment :) I also documented the process of building this on twitter. It was fun: https://twitter.com/zedkay22/status/1630010230531563522

1. Thanks for the comment! Go figure indeed haha.

2. I'd always recommend calling and keeping in touch with elderly loved ones. Some individuals however, may want additional quick non-verbal check-ins that this platform enables. Also, aging can be tough on the mental health of elderly people. With the loss independence on day-to-day activities and generally feeling like a burden to their loved ones, some individuals may prefer the 1-click check-in.

This platform allows for privacy, respect to any social threshold limitations and keeps the power of the response to the elderly individual through the simple 1-click SMS message.

Ultimately, I'm hoping to assist with dignified aging for the elderly with thoughtful - yet simple - systems.

Hey folks, this is an entirely free, non-profit project of mine focused on individuals who want to communicate they're doing okay while still maintaining their privacy, social threshold or other reasons.

The wellness-check apps I've seen either have pretty steep pricing or if free, require technical proficiency that most elderly folks don't have.
