If you’re a non-profit, I have a formlabs printer I’d be happy to donate :-)

As a ux designer, I like this, especially as it solves the problem of dragging mobile elements below the fold or off the visible screen view.

One suggestion I'd love to try out- let the user select multiple elements at once, and reorder the selected elements in the hovering state using conventional drag and drop mechanics. This might add complexity or might be a much more convenient way to deal with lists!

Or, dragging the element selected should allow a user to manually ‘place’ the item on screen.

I wouldn’t use this on desktop, though! Mice typically allow you to scroll and drag pretty easily.

It looks like the camera lenses are still raised above the bump. Wobbles look like they remain!

Is this something that a paper bag could solve for?

To incentivize artists to create and distribute art. The way we conceive of art as an act of embodied novelty differentiates it from commodities which aim for predictable consistency. Lack of IP protection in our culture has made it impossible for 99.9% of artists to thrive economically. The US has chosen relative cultural poverty compared to other cultures that find non-market mechanisms to support artists.

As an artist starting out in the beginning of my career, I made a rationalized choice to never post my work online - in retrospect this seems to have been the right choice. My work is no AI’s whetstone.

I'm currently sitting on a home with a basement open with no heater, and trying to find a contractor to install an all-electric heat pump. I'd love to be your customer but I worked in hardware and just don't see you hitting delivery times, and I can't wait that long.

For those of us who can't wait, If you were to buy a ducted heat pump today, which brand would you go with? Who is the best of the worst?

Yes, but the basics of computing (text input, pointing, selecting) haven't been worked out for the new paradigm. Like you point out, how information superiority and affordance work even in standalone applications hasn't really been solved. Without tactile touch components, it's very hard to interact with spatial data (one of the reasons CAD is so hard to learn).

I'd suggest that we'll need another 'mother of all demos' that solve some of these HCI problems, not just the fit and finish upgrade that Apple typically offers.

Physics is working against everyone here, it’s just too hard to get a bright, sharp screen in the form factor, weight & style that can literally appeal to everyone. The processing power to obtain world lock is not trivial either.

In contrast, a watch is just a scaled down phone with skin sensors. Most of the building blocks already exist.

Sociology is another blocker. Our species has evolved to read each other’s eyes to identify attention and emotion. As soon as you block the eyes with a pair of darkened screens, you lose that ability to directly connect human to human in person. Sure there are individual used cases like biking they could be compelling, but they are niche applications.

My mother did this when her cancer got too bad. She was strong willed but in end, some of her last words were asking me to give her an OD of the morphine in her hospice kit.

If you go through hospice with someone please discuss the options before the end. I wish i had asked her for her wishes beforehand because when she was weak it was hard to know how lucid she was, and the grief clouds your judgement.

I read that the glut of salmon might have been caused by iron seeding the local ocean. Are there any studies demonstrating a linkage?

Be careful what you wish for. AI capable of writing weird garbage nonsense content that looks truthful is coming down the pipeline, with a reward function built in for user engagement. In a world of effortless surreal content, authoritatively truthful answer will become more valuable. We're going to need encyclopedias again!

Please post screenshots of this!

Rhinoceros is $800 and used for product design, shipbuilding and architecture. We’re currently getting permits and structural done on our family home with drawings created with it. It also comes with a parametric solver system, grasshopper.

With the size of Russia's SLBM stockpile, this doesn't seem to change the deterrence equation, according to the Wikipedia article.

It seems like this allows more orgs within Russian military industrial complex to grab development money. It probably reduces their perceived need to pay for the manned submarine leg of the nuclear tripod in the upcoming decades.
