It's cool they actually still commission concept paintings like this

That background looks like AI for sure though?

Seems to be missing the Etrog? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_taxonomy#Citrons

Also, the "click to show search results" is cool but fails for "Arizona Citron" in obvious ways.

Is that tiling window management by default? Huh, finally the right choice to maximize small display area for laptop!

Been true on most chromeos devices for a while!

Which language are you thinking of? Ideally, how would you identify split points in this language?

I suppose we've only tested this with languages that do have delimiters - Hindi, English, Spanish, and French

There are two ways to control the splitting point. First is through delimiters, and the second is by setting chunk size. If you're parsing a language where chunks can't be described by either of those params, then I suppose memchunk wouldn't work. I'd be curious to see what does work though!

There are certainly cases of Greek/Latin without any punctuation at all, typically in a historical context. Chinese & Japanese historically did not have any punctuation whatsoever.

Not all languages have such well-defined and commonly used delimiters. Is this "English only"?

I hope TRMNL will start supporting 6 color e-paper displays more widely. I have one of these 6 color panels running with my own custom firmware on their BYOD license and I'm really happy with it, just wish it could take advantage of the color capabilities.

Yes! I'm in the same boat! My guess is that there's something in the backend (image cache/storage size) that presents as a cost/logistical problem instead of as a technical one.

Is there a linux equivalent of this setup? I see some mention of RDNA support for linux distros, but it's unclear to me if this is hardware-specific (requires ConnectX or in this case Apple Thunderbolt) or is there something interesting that can be done with "vanilla 10G NIC" hardware?

> GNU Unifont is part of the GNU Project. This page contains the latest release of GNU Unifont, with glyphs for every printable code point in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP)

I mean that's pretty close no?

smlacy · 3 months ago
Still doesn't exactly say what it is? I get that it's glyphs for printable characters, but honestly it could be a PDF, video, collection of PNGs or SVG files, an Adobe Illustrator file, a linux distribution, a web browser, or pretty much any other piece of software or data format. I presume it's a TTF or OTF font file?

Ahhh. They use C++.....

That explains all the delays on the F-35....,

You think a fighter jet should run Ruby on rails instead?
