The camera feature in the @Gemini_Notebook mobile app is so transformative for on-the-go research. I was up in the Sierras working on a new project, and I just took photos of everything, like this museum display. Then I asked for a detailed report of all the info in the image. The text below is what I got back. (I fact-checked it myself and it was 99% accurate -- and some of the text it transcribed is so blurry in the image that it was hard for me to read it.) Next step is to generate documents like this for all the photos I took, and then ask Notebook to highlight all the information that ad… Google Related

Swedish designer and programmer. Designed early Spotify, worked at Facebook and Figma, and created the Inter typeface.
Is there a service where I can rent access to Linux desktop machines with actual displays? We're implementing the Playbit runtime for Linux and it's surprisingly difficult to test various desktop configurations. We need a real GPU with a display connected, for testing dawn/webgpu, vsync, display sleep, etc. We use Modal and AWS, neither have had machines that I've been able to test with properly. Ideally there's a way to test a variety of systems (like ubuntu, arch, alpine etc) × GPUs (nvidia, amd, intel) × window managers. Linux Related

just gonna put this out there in case any Godot contributors see this! I know it's not a high priority issue, but I use Wayland on Linux and the latest Godot 4.5 beta spams an error message in the console constantly, which is really very annoying. Would *really* love it if somebody could fix this for the Godot 4.5 release, or even just comment out the specific line that's outputting this message. It's line 1052 in display_server_wayland.cpp, I'm guessing! Linux Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
