I noticed that previous post is from a couple of months ago, and it looks like about a week ago they posted a project update and they claim for their current prototype: "We are successfully printing in both black and full color." https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/...

Of course I have no way of verifying either way. Still I do think the project looks quite interesting, I'm in the market for a printer and this is certainly the most interesting one I've seen in a while.

Interesting, captcha used to be entirely in browser but I've seen a bunch of 'scan this qr with your phone' ones lately that left me vaguely uneasy. I think this post clarifies my uneasiness, it's not good to train people that they can complete captcha via external apps.

My local library has a few interesting things like this including a podcast kit (i.e. professional microphones and mixers) you can book in conjunction with a room booking and also a thermal imaging camera you can check out to "identify energy efficiency in the home by finding gaps in insulation, comparing the performance of different walls and rooms in the home, finding air leaks and identifying water leaks or damp issues". I approve wholeheartedly of these and similar initiatives.

I don't mind https://matthartman.github.io/ghost-pepper/ however I do really want speaker recognition which it does have but I haven't been able to get it working.

Hadn't really heard of SGI too much, going down the rabbit hole I thought this snippet from the Wikipedia page was especially interesting

"For eight consecutive years (1995–2002), all films nominated for an Academy Award for Distinguished Achievement in Visual Effects were created on Silicon Graphics computer systems"

Except for this one 3 days ago! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46505975 (but jury still out awaiting independent verification)

Alternative twist on this that I find works very well (and that I posted about a month ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45959846) - instead of concat&sending touched files, checkout the feature branch and the prompt becomes "help me review this pr, diff attached, we are on the feature branch" with an AI that has access to the codebase (I like Cursor).

I have tried a few of the LLM solutions. So far for me https://fathom.video is head and shoulders above the rest, excellent speaker annotation and LLM summarization, full video recording and matching video position to transcript (i.e. click on section of transcript to go to that part of the video), reasonable pricing, decent free tier. I have no affiliation at all with Fathom, just enjoy their product!

First time hearing about this game but enjoyed it a lot. If you squint hard enough it reminds me of my favourite text game A Dark Room https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/

Thanks! Guilty as charged of not fully reading through the piece before commenting :)

IMHO UK currently holds the gold standard for this https://design-system.service.gov.uk/

Most/many government services use the standard design architecture and, although it is not perfect, it is several orders of magnitude better than I've seen elsewhere.

Actually, and quite interestingly, it looks like their second edit (to separate the tracks) failed: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/122458694 Status: Failed dependency This edit failed either because an entity it was modifying no longer exists, or the entity can not be modified in this manner anymore.

Clicking through to the CD release we can see that it indeed still has those two tracks combined https://musicbrainz.org/release/af4dc096-65d2-4cc5-9e0c-176d...

>I just upload the documents to OpenAI and make it available to the Assistant, and it seems to work fine

That is also my experience, OpenAI assistant attached docs do seem to have a good amount of magic. Migrated over from an admittedly basic/naive custom RAG solution and results are similar/better but just have to work with a doc instead of dealing with RAG. One thing I found is I have to add a strong text to the prompt to force it to always check the doc, apart from that works great.
