This is maybe not a solution, but how does ChatGPT do on your handwriting if you upload a photo? If that works well then maybe you can use the API?

I thought that the two focus knobs would be horizontal and vertical focus, but they weren’t. Not sure how they work but there are only four options to try out (increase or decrease knob 1 or 2) so didn’t take long to do.

The 21” version was supposed to be solid but I have never seen anyone with one or seen it for sale. The price tag was probably too steep compared to the faulty 17” one. Sad to hear that the graphite model was just as bad though.

Sorry, my wording was unclear. The USB RTL-SDR was for receiving, and I did the capture and analysis on my desktop. The Raspberry Pi was for transmitting using the GPIO pins.

I went into the weeds of reverse engineering my Minka Aire ceiling fans with a USB RTL-SDR. In my case the manufacturer's remotes worked fine, but I wanted to integrate it in with Home Assistant. If you're interested, you can see

Even better, why not find people with a wireless mouse/kbd dongle plugged into their computer, then send radio signals mimicking their mouse/kbd to do the same thing? That way you don't even need to touch their computer or by

The total games market is expanding at a rate where you will have more quality indie games from new game makers than you could possibly play. If Supergiant gets bought and turned into a cash grab, there will be plenty of others out there to

This reminds of old factories that had belt-driven tools running off of a shared axle hanging overhead. The axle would be powered by a combustion motor. Turning on/off your tool meant engaging or disengaging it’s belt from the axle. I’

It sounds like otrahuevada is describing the same thing, doesnt it? Choose a commercial license if you want support, or the open source license if you don’t. That is how I understood it.

I used Blender to edit a bunch of my YouTube videos and can’t really recommend it. (Using Kdenlive now and it’s OK.) Blender’s VSE is too unlike normal editing programs and the performance is bad as well. It makes your workflow more clunky

I made a similar little GPT-3 toy (for Linux/bash) that also ended up generating a Rickroll URL.[0] In vague cases, GPT-3 functions approximately as well as a markov chain - it will give you the most “probable” sequence of tokens. Ther

I did this for the FPS game Valorant, not for cheating, but to see if I could make a 100% computer-controlled opponent.[1] It involved some weird Logitech mouse hacking for the control side of things and was overall really rough, especially

I am a small time Youtuber with a monetized channel. There are two things to consider for anyone thinking about ads on YouTube. One is that subscribing to YT Premium will get rid of all the ads. (You can’t get rid of sponsor shoutouts with

If you want to control non-smart wireless home appliances, you can actually make the Raspberry Pi GPIO do it without the Bond Home.[1] It’s a huge hack, to put it lightly. I don’t think the OP is actually doing any sort of control though. I

As the original creator of that video, it’s a little sad to see people download and then re-upload the entire video to Reddit. You can find the original video as well as written commentary on my web page: https://riveducha.onfabr

They have a very aggressive retention team to try to discourage you from cancelling. If you subscribe to (just) the crossword and tell them you want to cancel, they will offer you a lower monthly rate. Not sure if this violates California l

In the future, unnecessary use of AI/ML that causes strange incidents will be the source of much amusement (and, well, bad things too, I’m sure). That being said, the AI shell legitimately helped me remember some OpenSSL and ImageMagi

Hi HN - looks like someone beat me to posting this here! This was my most recent weekend project, and I was curious to see how GPT would do when asked for output that a computer had to run, versus output for humans to read. The area of AI r
