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 :)

Thank you so much for the kind and useful feedback. I'll look into it now.

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.

Simulating Brain Damage:

I don't think so. When I just asked an LLM though, the Hinton paper also came up. So it does look like a strong candidate.

If I am able to find it, I'll comment here.

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"
