   Made this Vim rhythm game this past long weekend. I felt I didn't have any proper pressure to get faster at Vim motions while coding, so a rhythm game felt apt. Try it out!

   Thanks for the kind words! As I briefly mention in my video, my teammate actually had guitar tabs going, with lyrics chords and even web scraping/search. I think a bit of refinement and better hardware and we'll get what you'

   I tried using lilypond actually but ran into an error that no one seemingly knew how to solve. Can try digging through my history if you're interested

   Agreed! These glasses do look very normal - only tell is that at a certain angle you can see the green of the screen, and the part near the ear is a bit bigger (but easy to conceal with hair)

   This would make the most sense, since MuseScore is notoriously litigious about usage and redistribution of their library/MusicXMLs, so a collaboration would be necessary to get a usable music catalog for smart glasses

   If I were designing around this limit, I would put enough memory to be able to store a nice buffer of bitmaps in either direction and then do sends that don't change what's currently displayed. I feel like that memory probably exi

    Yeah, it's a big deal for sure, I was bugging Mentra all hackathon to try and lower it, and also reached out to Even for suggestions (which Mentra is implementing). Regardless, I made it work and next gen hardware, firmware and softwar

    I use stirling-pdf for this, ran locally with docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=false --name stirling-pdf frooodle/s-pdf:latest Lots of features, OP you should definitely check this out

    Another huge time sink is rotoscoping, e.g. in my video I rotoscope the legs of the piano bench and its a cool effect but it took almost an hour for those few seconds. AI has come far here, but afaik there's no great, free workflow yet

    For me, it's still easy to mess up for complex sections if I'm not peeking at the keyboard every so often. Its true that muscle memory takes over after you reach a level of familiarity but not quite to the extent of biking

    A lot of the time is from the glasses themselves, but apparently Mentra talked to the Even CEO and next gen bitmaps will be much better

    Thank you, the typewriter effect is surprisingly hard, requires a pretty complicated expression in after effects

    I'm a (new grad) software engineer by trade, but for the last 8 months, I've been working on this amateur short film about impostor syndrome, which I think would resonate with a lot of you. At least for me, I was never the best pr

    I wanted to make a Bad Apple video and I decided to try out the software 3Blue1Brown uses to make his amazing math explainers. My scope crept unbelievably hard until I was revisiting my 4th year electrodynamics textbook to create one of the

    I actually tried using TSP to optimize the order of apples moved for a single frame, but what you sent seems like a much better fit (I'll bookmark it for the future). Either way, conveying all the moving information on a single referen

    For the past two months, I've been working on making Bad Apple with apples. It had a bit of a hardware build but there was some really interesting software problems too so I figure this crowd might be interested :D (also someone is def

    Just played this with some teammates. Some feedback: - There was 7 of us, so the text felt kind of slow. Being able to click to speed up would be nice, or change text speed. - Quiplash rewarded creativity more I feel, the problem with this

    "San Francisco police are cracking down on car break-ins using a bait car program meant to catch thieves red-handed." Neat.

    I havent touched llm stuff because the barrier to entry felt pretty high. This has reduced the barrier so much if it works as promised.
