interesting! the axidraw v3 that I used for this ( https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/846 ) has a 0.0125mm stepper resolution, which means that it is pretty close to not-worth-it to go any finer since the siz

This is neat — I do think this is relevant to more than just the software engineering space. See also, healthcare and law (I wrote more at length here, not to derail this comment thread [1]). Our junior training on-ramps for a lot of knowle

To those who are interested in reading more, I recommend Mary Roach's "Stiff" (and all her other work too!) highly highly highly!

you're welcome to use/snag any of it you like :) planning to keep that repo growing, so if you think of good synergies for us, I'd love to keep making useful stuff!

you could try my https://github.com/j6k4m8/goosepaper :)

no worries, good to know this would be a useful feature! I'll add it to my backlog. pip install 'git+https://github.com/j6k4m8/frof/' and then frof myfile.frof should work! Was thin

here they'll probably be executed simultaneously, since they both have zero dependencies and the machine can run multiple jobs at the same time. (can be disabled with `--max_jobs=1` or `-p=1`). Here's another illustrative example:

by j6m8 2y ago
You write the file and ALL steps are run in topological order so that a job never runs until its dependencies have run. i.e., in a tool I'll have `build.frof` as a separate frof file than `download-dependencies.frof`, perhaps. (If your

I wrote frof [1] for exactly this purpose :) Designed to be ultra-simple and with minimal "config-file acrobatics". It looks like this [edit, formatting]: write -> analyze build -> analyze write: echo 1 2

That's a question more suited to a microbiologist or bacteriologist than to me, but my educated guess, at least in the electron microscopy case, is that you'll see the bacteria inside the depth of the slices, rather than sitting &

by j6m8 2y ago
Very hard to clean a blender! More nitpickfully, one of the big things we care about is if the bacteria are living _harmlessly_ in the brain. i.e., site of microbes, and a lack of inflammation, will answer more than just "are there mic

Microbes are CRAZY. They're everywhere. Thermal vent-friendly microbes. Space-friendly microbes. Vacuum-resilient, heat-resilient, acid-resilient. Microbe-free-environment-friendly microbes [1]. It seems hard to imagine that a blood-br

A few years ago my team mounted what I think was the largest-(to-date) scale search for this in electron microscopy brain tissue volumes [1]. I STRONGLY believe there is a substantial central nervous system microbiome, but (spoiler alert) n

raw data is O(petabytes) (single-digit); synapse-neuron graph will be probably order 100GB. But you also want morphology and locations, since it's not enough to just say "X connects to Y" if you want to know about dynamics! i

The reMarkable company has been super adversarial to a lot of these tools, and the file standards and API have been moving goalposts for years. MOST of the tools on that Awesome list are defunct because the primary open source tools for get

ha — that's exactly what I've been working on on a separate reMarkable project posted earlier today [1] :) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41437740

You can write software for it but reMarkable as a company has been downright adversarial to the open source community and MOST of the tools on that Awesome page are now defunct because reMarkable has obfuscated API endpoints or changed file

Totally, the reMarkable has handwriting recognition as well — this project was partially borne of the workflow of "write text, auto transcribe, send to a computer, copy paste into an email." How do you like the Boox? My friend lov

ha, I learned shorthand in second grade (and yes, it was already an antique by then). I wonder what a multimodal language model would say to shorthand...

This is connecting via the reMarkable cloud tool, but everything is abstracted into a `DocumentManager`, so you could also use, for example, the document manager that just drops PDFs into the filesystem [1] so that you can use whatever tool

Definitely want to try that too!! In general I think people sending an email expect a text format reply, but there's something sad about losing that handwritten letter :) Plus of course, drawings → attachments!
