Ive been taking courses on CLO 3D for digital fashion design, and this article was a nice crash-course on the available technologies for 3D body scanning. Recently, I wanted to turn my hand-drawn jeans pattern into a 3D one to troubleshoot

I'd be curious to see how ATProto stacks up against ActivityPub in the long run. I was very excited by the prospects of Mastodon, PeerTube, and a few other Fediverse apps. I even started implementing my own ActivityPub library based on

Xfinity has a massive market share and is often the only game in town or one of only two. The only alternatives are often smaller resellers of the exact same infrastructure under a different company name. Or, there's also satellite Int

Mozilla still uses Mercurial for Firefox development [0]. They're in the process of moving to git and GitHub [1]. I don't know the status of the move, but I contributed a bit to Firefox's build system via Mercurial, and I am

Will there be a follow-up toolkit for Artificial General Intelligence called Agitator? Dumb jokes aside, I took a look at your GitHub page, and this is exactly what I've been looking for when I do local LLM work. Cogitator seems like a

Yes, this is correct. Google pays Mozilla hundreds of millions of dollars annually to be the default search engine. This makes up the vast majority of Mozilla Corporation's revenue. It's somewhere in the ballpark of 85% of all the

I upvoted this post and would not have commented if not for yours, so maybe my reason for (almost) abstaining is similar as other people who upvoted. What follows might be a ramble and is just my anecdotal experience on HN: I've been a

It's exciting to see a an OpenWRT router where compatibility is guaranteed! I've been running OpenWRT at home for years, and whenever it comes time to upgrade, it's always a deep dive into their Table of Hardware [1]. Many of

I don't mean this in a snarky way, more just to inform: proscribed actually means forbidden unlike the word prescribed, which means recommended.

Once I saw that the headline image was AI-generated, I skimmed the first paragraph and didn't find a lot of meaning in it. The dearth of content combined with an AI image made me suspect that the article itself might be AI-generated. A

I think this may have less to do with "python-brain" and more with "data-science brain". If a person is well-versed in data science concepts and has been trained to use Pandas DataFrames and Series for everything, that&#

Agreed, most or all shots of the Planet Express building and Planet Express ship are 3D renderings, even in the original first few seasons. Beyond that, even some shots of Bender in Space are 3D renderings, especially in cases where a compl

How does something like `let y: Time = 1 year` work? Does it take into consideration the idea of leap years and leap seconds, counting a single year as 365.2422 days[0]? Or does it count as 365 days? I got curious and installed the CLI tool

If you have ADD or ADHD, Ritalin might help. I have severe ADHD that I refused to treat for decades, but I recently gave in. I am _hugely_ sensitive to caffeine and feel a buzz even from decaf. It ruins my sleep in a similar way to what a c

Ah, I see. Wow, that is a high level of dedication to Internet privacy! With my work and interests I would 100% be incapable of using a combo of TOR, public wifi, and other locked-down browsers / networks. Props to you!

I took his Build a Compiler in Python course, and I honestly found it to be lackluster. He had just changed the format, though, and our class was his first of a new wave where he supplied us with no example code, instead making us write it
