Thanks, I added a section called "Principle of operation" to explain how it works.

What's your FPS/LPS in this setup? I've experimented with similar imaging with an ordinary camera, but LPS was limiting, and I know line-scan machine vision cameras can output some amazing numbers, like 50k+ LPS.

>with a better type system than either

Given Python's substantial improvements recently, I would put it far ahead of the structural typing done in Go, personally.

ansgri · 2 days ago

Python type system is very good. It’s enforcing it consistently that’s bad. Thankfully most new libraries are typed.

Is it true that current LLMs can find bugs in complex codebases? I mean, they can also find bugs in otherwise perfectly working code

ansgri · 8 days ago

With some luck, yes. I’ve had o3 in cursor successfully diagnose a couple of quite obscure bugs in multithreaded component interactions, on which I’d probably spend a couple of days otherwise.

You make sure it works first. Are you opening PRs with bugs “all the time”? Why? Nothing is ever bulletproof, but bugs shouldn’t be the norm in new code.

ansgri · 24 days ago

That requires the ability to fully test it locally, which unfortunately is uncommon in decent-sized systems.

Has anyone heard how bad it was in Petropovlosk? USGS estimates "severe" shaking with the possibility of moderate to heavy damage and a chance of fatalities.

They have had quite a swarm of quakes there over the last couple of weeks, including one that was M7+ around the 20th.

From what I see in Russian-language news, only relatively minor damage. I've lived in Petropavlovsk, it's an ugly city in various states of disrepair, but they do take seismic reinforcements seriously, like mag 7 should cause zero damage according to plan.

It's basically immune to tsunamis as it's protected by a bay with narrow entrance that extinguishes the waves, also most of the city is raised at least 10m above the sea.

The (literal) first and foremost ASCII descendant of APL was MATLAB.

I feel that the article should have made this a lot more clear - as so many people code along the APL -> Matlab / R (via S) -> NumPy family tree.

R/S is also heavily influenced by Lisp. Haven’t written it in 10 years, but AFAIR it even has proper macros where argument expressions are passed without evaluation.

I tried LLM's for geolocation recently and it is both amazing how good they are at recognizing patterns and how terrible they are with recognizing and utilizing basic spatial relationships.

ansgri · 2 months ago

I've tried to use various OpenAI models for OpenSCAD code generation, and while the code was valid, it absolutely couldn't get spatial relationships right. Even in simple cases, like a U-tube assembled from 3 straight and 2 curved segments. So this is definitely an area for improvement.

I normally think PC cases are gaudy and boring even when trying to evoke some style. That stuff in Streacom website however makes me want to build something with it.

ansgri · 2 months ago

Isn’t it just a smoother-looking typical industrial PC case? Always liked them though, too.

If you wanted better compression, it's called Lossless WEBP. Lossless WEBP is such a nice codec. Compared with Lossless JXL, it decompresses many times more quickly, and while JXL usually produces a smaller file, it doesn't always.

Lossless AVIF is not competitive.

However, lossless WEBP does not support indexed color images. If you need palettes, you're stuck with PNG for now.

ansgri · 2 months ago

How's HDR and high bit depth support? One of the things I liked about JXL is wide range of bit depths and arbitrary number of channels.

I use an iPad (that I have with me anyway) + cheap USB HDMI capture dongle for this.

ansgri · 2 months ago

What kind of dongles are compatible with iPad? Does it need some crappy proprietary app to view?
