That is a big disappointment --- for a while it looked as if everyone would standardize on the new generation of Wacom EMR (w/ 4096 pressure levels) so that a Staedtler Noris Digital or Lamy Wacom EMR stylus works w/ a wide variety of devices --- I use them on:

- Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

- Kindle Scribe

- Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360

- Wacom One (attached to my MacBook)

and I couldn't count the number of styluses I have floating around my home/office.

Super weird, we use the Lamy pen on the Daylight Computer and it's the best thing ever

The Daylight screen is _amazing_ for reading technical books. The pen isn't anything special, and I don't like it's thickness, but good enough to get the job done.

Here is a photo I took from earlier this week: http://hub.scroll.pub/daylight2/

Afaik we put the same kind of high polling rate Wacom digitizer that remarkable uses.

Any quirks you notice between it and the daylight would be fascinating to note! Wacom is the most fluid digital pen system on the market from what we could find, especially compared to Ntrig, USI and other approaches.

Also you can use other pens other than the one we included in the box

I’ve got a RM2 and a Daylight tablet.

In ambient light the contrast is worse on the Daylight than the RM2 - the screen background is quite significantly darker.

However, the Daylight has a backlight which increases the contrast enormously. And it’s usable in the dark which the RM2 is not. The much faster refresh rate also gives it a more fluid feel.

What I didn’t anticipate is the difference the screen makes in how I use and perceive them:

As the RM2 is so simple and static it feels more like a notebook or book reader that happens to be battery powered, whereas the Daylight is definitely a gadget.

I’m more likely to use the RM2 to take notes or do some thinking and the Daylight as something to tinker with.

Good point!

The remarkable is a lot more like paper and has that simple feel.

Daylight was created for the express purpose of being a portable computer you can use in direct sunlight. It can also just be your notebook but it does so much more than take notes.

I may be a little bit biased but I'd personally prefer a non-laggy device with a little bit worse contrast.

To each their own!

Do you feel anything when looking at DALE 3 images on this page? https://openai.com/index/dall-e-3/

I can’t tell you why, but I don’t really react to any of them or really any AI art I’ve seen.

DennisAleynikov · a year ago

I would hazard a guess that there will eventually be art you consume that won't immediately be obvious to you that no human artist made it

With the context of looking at images on the dall-e page you're looking at a gallery of ai images not art in its natural habitat.

Art deserves to be contextualized properly not be evaluated by the large batch.

Doesn't seem to work for me. I downloaded and ran on my Mac and proceeded to click the volume buttons on my iPhone but the count remains 0.

Why do they not have that right?

DennisAleynikov · a year ago

Yeah technically they aren't trying to circumvent anything your browser is doing they are just serving you videos with ads in them instead of videos and ads served separately

Can you use VS Code on it? Presumably using a remote back end like github codespaces?

DennisAleynikov · a year ago

Yes and you could use vscode.dev to edit local files as well

The colors do not invert when the backlight is on, which is great because you can turn on only a slight amount of backlight if you need it, and have it blend to the ambient lighting.

It supports 256 levels of grayscale.

The large battery also helps it last longer and accounts for the much more powerful chip compared to the remarkable

Seems a lot of comments here are basically saying "calm down, it's just an ad."

If these are "just" ads (meaning they aren't a big deal) then why are millions spent on them? Why are Super Bowls ads an event all their own?

Maybe read up on some early figures in effective propaganda and advertising such as Edward Bernays. Watch The Century of the Self. Put your ego aside and accept that advertising might have a significant influence on a person's perception, reasoning, and judgment...and accomplish it in subtle ways you may not be fully cognizant of. That can also lead to more vast cultural conditioning. The boiling frog...

It's not "just" an ad and thankfully some people are applying critical thought and criticism against it. Why that bothers so many here might also be telling. Why are you being triggered?

DennisAleynikov · a year ago

just an ad means this was an artistic expression inof itself

theres nothing inherently wrong with destruction as an artform
