Depends on how much accuracy you want in your results. You can do chessboardless calibration and stereo today, but you need lot of data and careful error propagation that nobody does. The mrcal project does does high-precision calibration and streo with boards. I've a boardless method mostly done now, and will run experiments soon. The conclusion might be that you need unreasonable input data to get good results :)

Of (home,end,pgup,pgdown,delete,backspace) the mac has just backspace. And they have just a single control key and such. Clearly the mac keyboard is designed by people that have no idea how to type. There's no "standard windows keyboard" anymore, but even the worst is still worlds better than whatever apple puts out.

> And what on earth is the first plot? A moon that rises to its zenith doesn't become half lit

If it rose to the zenith, it would. This is the paradox.

Well sure. Yeah. Do you find this explanation clear and satisfying though? Can you use it to answer a question like "at sunset, during a half-moon, can you see an upward-facing moon"? Maybe you're much smarter than me, but I had to write the simulator to figure out the answer. Claude and gemini never wrote the simulator, so they consistently answer that question incorrectly :)

I think you're overstating your case. I never said this was novel. I didn't vibe code any of this. Two balls and a lamp were not sufficient to make this clear to me, but writing the simulator was.

The LLMs have read all of the internet, and are thus quite good at answering questions like this, and I have zero problems asking them about it. In THIS case, the answers available on the internet kinda suck, which made the LLM suck as well.

Then you don't take the car. Why is this confusing?

"Laika" is the generic dog name in Russian. Means "barker".

That's exactly what this is, a marketing blurb. Was this unclear?

Not being open source is the thing that the program in the article fixes. You want the goal of the software-writer to be producing a good tool, not using the software as a means to turn a profit. That's how you get the turd being replaced by the tool in the article

I want org-mode markup support for the wikis and readmes. Github supports this, and gitlab sorta does. You should hook up pandoc to it, and support everything it can handle.

Great writeup. Along similar lines, the East fork of the San Gabriel river is a bit outside Los Angeles. It has a dead-end road with two tunnels to nowhere, abandoned in the 1960s. Below that is a massive bridge to nowhere that connected to an under-construction road that was abandoned in the 1930s, with all traces of the road largely gone; except the bridge, which is huge and is very much still there. Much more obscure is the PL&P trail, a bit above the bridge. Built and abandoned in the 1910s. All in the same canyon!
